Francine went above and beyond during our engagement session, capturing our vision perfectly and making us feel comfortable and natural. It gave us so much excitement for the wedding day I even put together a cute gift just to show our appreciation.
Initially, I was thrilled when I received the preview photos the day after the wedding. However, that excitement quickly turned to disappointment when I received the full set and I realized there were only 24 photos of the bride and groom, half of which were not even posed photos. Instead, many were candid shots that felt random and unimportant, like us drinking water.
On the wedding day itself, Francine’s approach added unnecessary stress. Her method was overly rigid, allowing little room for us to be ourselves or express genuine emotions. We were directed into specific poses, down to the positioning of our hands, which felt forced and took away from the joy and authenticity of the moment as expressed by many of the bridal party and guests.
While we appreciated the effort and creativity during our engagement shoot, the wedding day experience and final results fell far short of our expectations. This was an extremely disappointing outcome for such an important day.
Working with Francine as our wedding photographer was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She exemplifies efficiency, professionalism, and impeccable timing. She was punctual and seamlessly integrated into our wedding day, ensuring that every important moment was beautifully preserved.
Communication with Francine was effortless. She was responsive to our inquiries and proactive in keeping us informed throughout the entire process. Her ability to listen to our preferences and translate them into stunning photographs exceeded our expectations.
Speaking of which, Francine's photos are simply breathtaking. She has a unique talent for capturing emotions and personalities in each shot, creating timeless memories that we will cherish forever. Her artistic touch and attention to detail shine through in every image.
We were thrilled when Francine delivered a sneak peek of our photos to our email inbox within hours of our wedding. It was a delightful surprise and a testament to her dedication and efficiency. Shortly after, we received all of our photos, beautifully edited and ready to share with our loved ones.
If you're looking for a wedding photographer who combines talent with professionalism, look no further than Francine. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Booking Francine was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day.
Francine and Tiago were truly one hell of a find for us. As a photographer myself this was the hardest vendor for us to find. They were incredibly professional and so easy to work with. Our photos are incredible and we cannot recommend these two more.
Look no further than Francine! She is truly a professional and an artist. From our very first conversation, Francine was patient, thoughtful, and understanding. She was extremely accommodating to our photography requests, and so easy to work with in the wedding planning process. And now, to the wedding! Francine and her husband were just as patient and kind on our hectic wedding day! They caught every moment and detail that we requested, among hundreds and hundreds of others! The photos were BEAUTIFUL. Our favorites were all of the sweet, candid moments they caught. The big laughs, the tears, the hugs, the dancing! Thank you SO much, Francine! There is no other photographer I’d want to capture our wedding. We recommend Francine and her husband to anyone looking for a phenomenal photographer! You will not regret it!
Francine was truly truly amazing to work with. She was kind yet assertive to ensure we get all of our photos done in a timely manner. She has worked with all of our other vendors many other times and they worked flawlessly together. Francine had her husband there as a second shooter and every time throughout the night that I thought "this would be a cool photo" Francine was there one step ahead of me.
Francine and her husband were spotted a few times through the night right in the middle of the action taking photos and doing some dancing! Who says you cant have fun while you work!
They are incredible and I can not recommend them enough.
6/5 stars
We are SOOO happy we chose Francine for our wedding day!!! From the very start, Francine was so easy to talk to and really took the time to get to know us before our engagement shoot and wedding. She made us feel comfortable and helped everything flow so smoothly on our wedding day! She was extremely professional and timely...she even had over 150 pictures ready for us the day after the wedding! Our wedding photos were even more beautiful than we could have imagined with the help of Francine and Thiago!! I cannot recommend them enough and we are so thankful!
Francine was absolutely wonderful and helped us to create special moments. Everyone keeps complimenting on our engagement and wedding photos! I would recommend her to all! Thank you Francine!
From when we first talked to Francine till the reception was over, we continued to be impressed with her and Thiago. They work together for a seamless experience. We had engagement photos done as well, those turned out absolutely amazing.
Her style and philosophy are exactly what we were looking for. The wedding photographs are stunning and amaze us everytime we look at them. They still make me get emotional, she captured the emotion perfectly. Thank You Francine for a wonderful wedding experience and all your help. Especially helpng with our 4 legged boy during the engagement shoot. He had a blast too. We will definatley be calling you again for family photos.
When we were looking for a photographer for our wedding, we were looking for someone who we can connect with and feel comfortable. Wedding pictures are once in a lifetime opportunity (At least we think so). We wanted to have someone who would capture all the important moments and at the same time teach us how to pose. Francine meet all of our expectations and went above and beyond to help our date be as easy and less stressful as possible. Along with her husband they formed such an amazing a beautiful team. Your investment with this company is 110% WORTH IT! .... Francine, I just want to truly thank you because I can truly say I enjoy every minute of my wedding date, from the photos at the hotel to the ceremony and reception and this was thanks to you for making sure our timeline was followed accordingly. We are looking forward to future sessions with you.
We cannot say enough AMAZING things about Francine! She did both our engagement photos and wedding photos and we are sooo thankful we chose her. I couldn't imagine anyone else to capture this special moment in our lives. She is great at communicating with her clients, responds quickly, and is so prepared! Her and her husband are an incredible team, they are so sweet and made us feel completely at ease. You won't regret hiring her!!
We hired Francine for our wedding recently and I still can't put into words how grateful I am for the amazing work that she did along with her husband. She was absolutely incredible since day one and stayed in communication along the way. Even sent us guides and questionnaires to prepare us and know what to expect on our big day. The day of our wedding she was on top of everything and did not miss a thing! Our friends and family gave us so many compliments on our photographer because she was really that amazing! Right after our wedding she sent us a few sneak peek photos and OMG they were absolutely stunning! I can't wait to see the rest of the photos. I will surely be booking her again for other future events. I highly recommend her, book her without a doubt!
FRANCINE WAS FANTASTIC AT OUR WEDDING!!!!
When I first booked Francine and spoke with her, she was super nice and bubbly, and she was so excited for our wedding. During our wedding, I was so amazed at how fast and professional she was. I may be wrong, but it looked like she works great under pressure. She was super nice and positive the entire day, and she did not stop complimenting me (the bride) about how I looked the whole time haha. She was very prompt and organized, and it felt like she has photographed thousands of weddings. She also sent me some of our edited wedding photos THREE DAYS after our wedding! Super fast! Francine, you truly blew us away, and I could not have found a better photographer. I loved your energy and loved watching you at work. You are definitely in the right profession. I will definitely call you up the next time I need a photographer in Orlando! :)
My husband and I are not from the Orlando area (we're from Memphis), but we chose to get married in Florida to be close to my husband's family. Not only are Francine's photos INCREDIBLE, but she goes above and beyond for her clients. Because we aren't from the area, we relied heavily on Francine for suggestions on a lot of things. From videographers, florists, and makeup artists to where to get my spray tan! She's a huge part of why our wedding ran so smoothly. Francine doesn't stop at being your photographer, she's there with you every step of the way in whatever way you need her.
Francine is also very responsive (I think the longest I ever waited for a reply was a couple of hours) and she works so well with other vendors to make the wedding move seamlessly!
So, if you're looking to work with a photographer that is truly invested in making your day perfect, takes beautiful and diverse shots, works herself to the bone to make sure every moment of your day is captured, and doesn't mind helping you through the wedding process, Francine is your girl!
And I couldn't write this review without giving a HUGE shout out to Thiago as well. Thiago is Francine's husband who helped her capture some amazing shots at both our engagement session and on our wedding day. Some of my favorite, unexpected shots came from Thiago! Plus, he was so nice and helpful throughout both sessions!
I appreciate the both of you so much and we definitely plan on coming back to Florida for a family photo session one day very soon!
Francine was INCREDIBLE!!! Her and her husband photographed our wedding on 2.21.21 and it was magical to say the least. We stayed in close contact over the course leading up to the wedding which was very important for us. Prior to the wedding, we gave Francine a list of family photos we desired to have on the wedding day and she had the list printed and ready to go to ensure nothing was missed. They were both a pleasure to work with, trust worthy, and the photos have the power of telling our wedding day in detail over and over again. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend for all occasions.
Francine and her fiancé are the complete professional photography package. We were sooo lucky to have found her on such short notice for our engagement photos and we also booked her for our upcoming wedding in April. I usually don’t take the time to write a review but I want everyone who come across this to understand what an awesome experience it is working with Francine. My fiancé and I rarely take pictures so I was nervous about it being awkward. Well within the first 10 minutes of meeting she had already gotten pictures we loved! She went above and beyond with cute little teaser videos of our shoot on her Instagram, and even wrote about our shoot on her blog. My engagement shoot was also on my birthday and she surprised me with a Starbucks mermaid cup and gift card?! She should incredibly thoughtful and made my birthday and engagement shoot so special. I could not be more grateful! We cannot wait for her to capture our wedding day and all future special moments. Thank you again Francine 💕
Francine is a next level photographer - and the only one I know in Orlando that offers such premium services at a price point we can all afford without going broke. Francine did our wedding photos as well as a GORGEOUS engagement shoot. I love her work so much that i've already booked her again for a photoshoot with friends! Francine was very detailed in asking which shots were "must haves" for me, but also spent a great deal of time taking TONS of photos of the people, places, and things that were at my wedding. I LOVE her work, and her ability to capture the most magical day of my life so well.
I hired Francine as my photographer for my wedding day! I love how she shoots two different styles of photography! One is light and airy while the other is dark and moody...the best of both worlds 🥰 she kept my day running and never missed a beat! My guests were very thrilled about her not being in the way and never noticed her taking photos! My husband literally took one shot to take his photos...yet I took a few times 🙄 lol but she was so understanding and took the extra time to make sure my pictures were perfect! Super fantastic photographers and I am still so in love with my over 1000 photos!!!
