About Us

Our unique blend of fine art and photojournalistic styles creates images that are as beautiful as they are true to you. Our goal is always to astonish you with each photograph, and to leave you with images to look back on for years to come. At Paul Francis Photography, we incorporate both soft natural light techniques and commercial techniques that are commonly used in magazine photoshoots to emphasize the best qualities of each bride and groom. We enjoy getting to know each couple, learning about who they are, their styles, concerns and preferences so that we can truly capture the essence of you.

We have a joy and enthusiasm for life, love, and marriage. We don’t just do wedding photography because we like taking beautiful photos and capturing memories, but we love love. We feel so blessed to be a part of a bride and groom’s wedding day to witness their love. Even more than wedding photography, we love the marriages they celebrate. We want to help make your wedding – from the planning, to the big day, and for the rest of your lives – the most blessed experience.

My husband Paul is the lead photographer and owner of Paul Francis Photography. His passion for photography started in college when he took his first photography class and began taking pictures of his many nieces and nephews. Paul eagerly jumped into photography seizing every opportunity to learn and gain experience. Now Paul is both an artist with a camera and a nerd who uses all that techy stuff to create beautiful and powerful photography.

I am Carolyn, his wife and sidekick. I can often be found at Paul’s side- shooting as his second photographer, making sure the bride’s hair looks perfect, offering a feminine eye, and anything else a good sidekick does. I fell in love with wedding photography by helping Paul, who taught me everything I know. I fell in love with the whole process; getting to know amazing couples who are eager to spend the rest of the lives together. Then, being able to capture that joy, excitement, and love in authentic and powerful photos. And finally, I love giving the couple the gift of reliving those beautiful moments, of remembering their love and commitment again and again.

"Magazine quality", "You guys look amazing", "Your day was captured perfectly," and "Where can I order some prints?" were common things we heard from friends and family after receiving our photos back from Paul. To say they were everything we hoped for and more is an understatement. Paul captured our day the way no videographer or other photographer could. What makes Paul so unique is that he doesn't just take photos for people to flip through quickly, he takes photos so that every single photo is thought out and tells a story. He wants you to stop and look at each and every photo and see the story behind it.

What I really appreciated about Paul and Carolyn is the professional yet friendly demeanor they have. They truly are a team. Yes, it is a business, yes the wedding packages are a bit more than other photographers, but the experience and quality of photos is completely worth it. Paul and Carolyn really were an intricate part of my wedding and it honestly felt like working with longtime friends and not someone who I was paying a service for. They become invested in your wedding and take time to get to know you and your future spouse so that the photos capture your special day in a unique and individual way. No two weddings are the same when Paul is your photographer. Also, and I think this is an underrated value, Paul and Carolyn respect the special nature of the day. They don't just love weddings, they love marriage and they are very careful to make sure they are respecting the sanctity of the ceremony, which is something you do not think about until you've been to a wedding where there are photographers and video cameras going off every which way disturbing the intimacy of the ceremony.

I could go on and on about how amazing Paul and Carolyn are, but all it takes is to see their portfolio and meet this spectacular duo in person to realize that they are a must have at your wedding.
