Francine and Lionel WERE a couple that did photography together. When you reach out to "them" you are actually just reaching out to her alone. She does business part time on the si...
de under the name Francine Photography.
At the beginning she was very pleasant. In Sept. 2019 we agreed on a day and location for my engagement shoot via email which was supposed to be November 23rd. 4 days before our shoot she gave us a bogus excuse for why she couldn't shoot at the location and when I called her out on it she gave me 2 more DIFFERENT excuses and stated that she 'never agreed' to the location we chose. IF she didn't agree, then where was she thinking we were going to be shooting 4 days later?
She got really rude on the telephone and told me that if I was upset with the fact that I have to change the venue for the photos at the last minute that I didn't have to work with her, but if I didn't want to work with her that she wouldn't give me a refund. Francine did not perform any services for me, and after many emails back and forth with her, I could not see myself spending my WEDDING DAY with her as our photographer. She was extremely rude, and would not address any of the questions or concerns I had, and kept recommending shoot sites that were no where close to the site we had agreed on. (We agreed on Four Seasons Resort, she had advised me she works there so she would be able to accommodate, and she was recommending parks such as Bok Tower etc.).
We had split our deposit into two payments. The first payment I put on my credit card, and the second half she requested I send through Zelle (I know, stupid me). I am currently disputing with my credit card the portion that I put through there (which she is rebutting). I will also be filing a civil suit after the credit card resolution.
Weddings are expensive! No one should have to go through what I am going through right now to get my money back for services that Francine was unable to provide at the agreed upon location. If you notice, all of the reviews, with the exception of a few, are from a long time ago (I didn't realize that before booking). I will say, this has been a painful and expensive lesson. I hope this review helps someone.
Warning— do not hire. At first they were pleasant to deal with but the communication slowed down. Their photography is absolutely not up to par. You shouldn’t hire a Couple Photogr...
aphy team when they don’t jive any more. They will waste your time, not communicate, make excuses, fire them before you have a chance to hire them. You should not risk your wedding day. You’ve been warned, make a smart decision. Happy we got out when we did. Have received no response months later after stating their services were no longer needed.
Five stars. My wife and I hired Francine and Lionel to photograph our wedding. We couldn’t have been happier with that decision. The photographs from both our wedding as well as th...
e engagement shoot were phenomenal. Their attention to detail and mixture of styles they both brought to the table made for an astounding collection that we’ll cherish for a lifetime. But it’s not just the end result of photographs produced – it’s also the process of working with them that gives value to the experience. Right off the bat, our initial interaction with Francine and Lionel was very positive. They’re warm, friendly and truly desire to apply their craft in making beautiful memories of your special day. I’m not very natural when it comes to posing for photos (a problem my wife doesn’t have), but Francine and Lionel were so helpful in providing the right feedback to assist me. We had already built a rapport with them between our consultation session and the engagement shoot. By the wedding day, we were ready to go and knew exactly what to expect. Additionally, the photo packages they offer are very competitively priced. We had talked with other photographers prior to our final selection, but their prices were much higher and lacked the quality we found in Francine and Lionel’s work. We couldn’t give higher praise to Francine and Lionel for the phenomenal work in forever preserving our special day!
Wonderful photos! We’re very happy with how they captured the wedding party and family photos. We (the bride and groom) are sadly lacking from most of the candid dancing photos at ...
the reception, and they didn’t capture much of us interacting with our Guests during reception down time, but the posed photos are absolutely gorgeous. And the turnaround time to receive the photos was so quick! 15 days after the wedding we were able to download the digital photos, all 801 of them!
We had a great experience with Francine and Lionel. From the first time we met them, we knew right away we wanted them to be our photographers. It just felt comfortable, which was ...
very important to us for photographers. They were very professional, and so fast with turn around time on the photos! I was always surprised with how quickly we received them. I truly enjoyed them being around for our event, and would highly recommend using them!
Working with this couple was so much fun...they truly felt like friends who were just at my wedding taking pictures and their pictures are BREATHTAKING. I couldn't have asked for m...
ore in my pictures or the experience I had with my photographers. They made that day that much more special. No matter what I need a photographer for in the future, they will be getting a call. Vendor shopping is frustrating, so I promise you can't go wrong here. Thank you Francine and Lionel for making my wedding day all that it was.
Francine and Lionel are simply amazing! They are so much fun to work with and extremely talented! We were blown away by the photos we received for not only our wedding but for our ...
engagement shoot as well. We recommend Francine and Lionel to anyone who is looking for out of the box photography that will impress anyone who sees them! We plan on using them for maternity photos as soon as we hit that milestone!
Francine and Lionel are A M A Z I N G! Because of them, we're able to reflect back on our precious wedding memories with their incredible photos.
We did both our engagement sho...
ot and wedding with them. They were always flexible to work with, professional, responded in a timely manner, were great at posing us, very social with our family and wedding guests (they speak PERFECT English, Portuguese, AND Spanish - perfect for our American/Colombian/Brazilian wedding!) and helped us feel calm at all times. On our wedding morning, the clouds rolled in with 80% chance of thunderstorm and Francine texted me not to worry, that we could get great rain shots if necessary. That text calmed me down and reminded me I was in the hands of two talented artists!
Furthermore, they always communicated with each other to make sure all of the necessary shots were taken care of (a HUGE benefit of booking TWO photographers, we got so many shots of the bride, groom, bridal parties, families, because we had double the talent!) , and communicated constantly with our other vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly - leaving the bride completely out of the day of stress! I appreciated this so much, I barely even had to think at my wedding because they directed timing so well.
Their photography and editing skills are seriously out of this planet. All of my family and bridal party can't stop praising the quality of their photos. One of my bridesmaids is engaged and loved them so much she is already considering booking them! Book them, you will not regret it!!!
Francine & Lionel really capture the beauty of my little girl! the pictures are stunning and I'm very pleased with the results.

I have too many wonderful things to say about Francine and Lionel. My husband and I, along with our families and friends, are so happy that we found them for our wedding. They are ...
very professional and their pictures came out beautifully- and they are so much fun to work with! My favorite thing about our experience with them is how comfortable they made us feel, and how we could tell how much they cared about what was important to us in our wedding photos. Francine was there for me, personally, every step of the way- from planning our engagement photo outfits and poses, to helping me plan the types of photos we wanted for the wedding, to giving me tips before the wedding, to fixing my hair and placing my dress in the perfect spots during photos! Their photography is absolutely beautiful as well, they are both very talented and make a wonderful team. Francine and Lionel did an amazing job with our wedding photos, and even got them to us very quickly! We are very lucky we found them for our big day! I would recommend them to my friends and family and plan on using them for any events in our future.
We worked with Francine & Lionel for our after wedding shoot. They went above and beyond making sure all the details were taken care of prior to our arrival from out of town. Took ...
all the stress from me and picked beautiful locations, brought props for us, and reviewed the poses I liked, to accommodate those as well. They were extremely easy to work with and placed us in creative and flattering poses. I would definitely work with them again!
We love our photographers Francine and Lionel! They capture beautiful moments in our wedding! We had a beach wedding in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida. They were on time and followed...
the timeline. They listened to our ideas and captured them beautifully. After our wedding, they sent out a sneak peak video of some of our photos. Then, they posted all the photos on a online program where family and friends can download the photos they wanted. Later they sent us a cute package with our flash drive with all our photos ( over 1,000).
Over all, they were great! Thank you again Francine and Lionel!

g two different perspectives. I am very happy with how my pictures turned out and I highly recommend them!
From our first meeting with Francine & Lionel, we knew that their work was going to be top notch. Francine and Lionel were very explanative and (obviously) this being our first we...
dding, we needed all the guidance we could get. They were very "up front" about their expectations for us, and we're adamant about meeting our expectations. All this, while making us feel as if we'd known them for years.
Our engagement photos were raved by any who saw them, and we knew we had made the right choice. They made us feel comfortable during the shoots, even as we drew attention from onlookers. They were able to relieve the shyness with humor, which helped tremendously to produce great photos.
The wedding itself was great as well. They knew we were looking to them for direction, and they delivered in stride. They produced a timeline for the wedding day preparation in coordination with our other vendors, and relieved any nerves/tension we had. Our wedding party consisted of 14, and they had no problem "rounding us up" and getting all the photos we needed done.
We enjoyed their company so much (from the moment we met them) that we made a clear point to have them at our special day not only as vendors, but as honorary guests as well.
We will, without hesitation, recommend Francine & Lionel to anyone who may be interested in photographers and we will continue to hire their services as our family grows.
Thank you Lionel and Francine for making our special day a memorable one.

I am the mother of one of the most beautiful recently married brides ever. If possible I would give Francine & Lionel Photography all 100's They were awesome in every aspect. As fo...
r value, they easily earned so much more than they contracted for. Professionalism is definitely something they do as well as photography. They showed our entire wedding group and guests kindness, care and love for what they do so well in every detail. I really am honored to give this review since rarely do people take the time to do anything but let someone know of only negative stuff. I have only but great things to say about them and wish they didn't live so far away since I intend to recommend them to everyone looking for a great photographer for the special occasions in their life! Thank you so much Francine & Lionel for everything that you did for us!
