Francis Ralph Potograpiya

he right people focused, organized, and moving forward. He took charge, and we stayed on time and were able to get all the photos we wanted as a result. He and his second shooter were always moving onto the next thing, always taking photos. People who were in our wedding party kept commenting: “this guy is GOOD.” 2. Easy to work with: Frank is well-humored, easy to talk to, and really good at making you and others feel comfortable so you can look your best in photos. People look relaxed in our photos! It’s so easy to stiffen up if you’re uncomfortable with a photographer, but Frank has a way of helping everyone get comfortable. 3. EQ: Frank proactively talked to us about any tough family dynamics that he’d need to be aware of. I had wanted one photo of my mom and dad with my brother. Getting this photo was sure to ruffle some feathers (they’re divorced), but Frank found the perfect moment to take the photo, which helped keep the peace. We also had two shy toddlers at our wedding who did not want to take photos, but Frank still managed to get some cute smiles and special moments with them (in addition to some hilarious photos of toddler meltdowns). 4. Quantity & Quality: Do you want quantity or quality? Both, duh. That’s what Frank delivered. Frank sent us so many photos that - if you do the math - it works out to about 3 photos per minute he was there. And better still, they were really, really well done. We were thrilled. 5. Natural Aesthetic: My husband and I wanted a photographer who would capture moments as they really happened. (We don’t like the over-edited, dramatic aesthetic.) Frank knew this, and delivered exactly what we wanted. Don’t get me wrong — he captured us at our BEST (natural does not mean “looking crappy”), but when we look at the photos we know we’re looking at reality, and that’s what we wanted.

ce!

ark and all the photos came out absolutely beautiful! I was looking for a team that did night time photography and I found it!

stay with us forever. Frank is definitely an expert in his craft and very knowledgeable about weddings. On the day of our wedding, he was a huge team player with the other vendors, collaborating with our coordinators to make sure the day went off without a hitch, and he looped in our videographer on all of our shots, even sharing ideas that otherwise would have been missed. He also went above and beyond accommodating us and our family (to say the least here). I could literally write a novel on everything he's done for us, and it still would not be enough. Frank is an extraordinary professional and person, and choosing him was easily the best decision we made for our wedding.

agement session, so he offered to retake them for us when the weather was better. Then for our wedding it literally monsooned for our outdoor ceremony. He offered to take post- wedding photos when the weather was better. He really went above and beyond for us. He made us feel really comfortable when getting the photos done, he had some really cool and creative ideas for the photos too. We are super happy that we went with him for photos and are happy to say we've gained a friend as well!

ble photographer that makes photos fun throughout the entire day while also capturing the love the two of you share Frank is your guy! Francis Ralph Potograpiya simply put is the best of the best and the quality of what you get and the personal attention to detail he will provide for your day is above and beyond.

vides is unmatched and will leave your jaw in the floor when you see your photos!! Any couple that gets the pleasure of working with Frank will see from the beginning of the engagement shoot through the wedding, his attention to detail and ability to “get the shot”. Post wedding we wouldn’t think of using anyone else for maternity shoots, family photos, etc. I cannot recommend Francis Ralph Potograpiya enough!!

t eye for making you look your best no matter the background or setting. He took tons of pictures at my church wedding and reception, and all his photos turned out beautifully. I highly recommend purchasing the photo album in your package- I absolutely love mine! Frank created a photo album that tells my love story from beginning, middle and end. Frank is the best, and I consider him a family friend. Choosing Frank as my wedding photographer was the best decision I’ve ever made, and I will continue to use his services for future family photos and events.

at's always with us and Frank took the initiative to make sure we had plenty of photos with our fur baby. I knew he had plenty of experience under his belt when he was able to photograph our whole wedding party in a short amount of time. He had choreographed and compartmentalized every single facet of that photo shoot to include group photos (both bride's maids and groom's men), solo photos, and intimate couple's photos! It all went by really smoothly and he even made it super fun and silly. In short, it was an incredible experience to work with Frank. He made everything super smooth and most importantly fun! And of course, all of the photos turned out amazing. We would hire Frank again in a heartbeat.

echless! And honestly, so were we when we saw all of the beautiful photos that he took. One thing that is very hard to find in a photographer, is someone that can make you open up and can make you feel comfortable enough to genuinely laugh and smile with your partner rather than just stage laughs and smiles. He truly made it fun! Which ended up giving us such genuine and authentic poses and candids. Another thing that was very exceptional about Frank was that he uses angles in the most flattering way for his clients. He also really used the landscape of the cliffs along the water to give visual impact and opulence to the photo. Some photographers will also send you a purge of every single click that they took which is exhausting to look through, what I loved about Frank is that he sent us his best shots rather than the entire set of shots he took. Made it so much easier for us to look at and enjoy the photos! Overall we adored Frank and are already finding an excuse to come back to San Diego to take more photos with him!!!

ive photography style gave us tons of beautiful photos from our big day! He was flexible about changes in our plans due to COVID-19, he made everyone feel comfortable, and all of our guests had such wonderful things to say about him during and after our wedding. Frank is so much fun to work with, we can’t recommend him highly enough!

this summer in terms of restrictions on weddings. I worked with Frank to set up my package, and he was very helpful and clear. The pricing was completely reasonable, and they seem to have different deals going on now and then which make it even better. My photographer was Frank. He did a spectacular job and I honestly couldn’t ask for more! The picture taking process was super time efficient without being rushed. Frank had me fill out a list of everything I wanted beforehand, but allowed me to add anything last minute, and added a few of his personal favorites to the mix as well. The package I ended up with also included a second photographer which was certainly an added bonus! The pictures and videos came out stunningly, and I feel that our big day was captured beautifully and accurately. My best friend is getting married next year and I will definitely be recommending Francis Ralph Potograpiya to him. I can’t recommend them enough!!!

onal and fun to work with and our photos turned out great. He turned around our proofs even faster than we expected and we couldn't have been happier. He always was watching out for us and we think of him as a friend after all we have been through. Our initial venue ended up closing and Frank was the one who let us know that he heard the rumor before our venue contacted us. We highly recommend him!!! He is going to photograph our reception once we are through COVID and we will definitely use him again for family photos when the time comes.

his translates into him making you feel comfortable and at ease when you’re working with him. He has a great eye and great ideas for the photos - he’s amazing at his craft!!!

e long time friends of our. Frank was also super helpful with any requests. I highly recommend having them photograph your special day!

ckground, what we could expect and that he likes to attend the wedding rehearsals so that he can observe. The day of the rehearsals he was on time and stayed with the wedding party. Once the rehearsal was over final arrangements were made to meet the bridal party in the morning. He was very timely and helped everyone to relax. The pre-wedding pictures were fun and beautiful. Frank is so funny he blended right in with my family and friends and it felt as if he were just another guest taking pictures. The end product was more than we could have dreamed of. The pictures were simply breathtaking and there was not one photograph we didn't like. If you need a photographer for your wedding Frank and his team are simply amazing and you'll be happy for choosing him. When my other daughter gets married we plan on using Francis Ralph again. He's so awesome!

photos and dealing with all of the crazy children we had there, last minute changes to schedule his artistic eye, and end delivery Frank really showed he could manage it all! His pictures are amazing and the quality really shows his love for photography. From the fine little details of our wedding to all of the events in between Frank captured everything beautifully! Highly recommend him!!

. We were incredibly thankful to find him. We highly recommend him. I know things are expensive for weddings but definitely spend more on a quality photographer. He took great photos and our family was so happy with them. We also bought the albums that he offered and they were gorgeous! Great quality too!
