Francis was incredible to work with! He shot our engagement and wedding day and we could not be happier with his photos. He made us feel so comfortable and we really enjoyed shooting with him. His work is STUNNING!

Best Adventure and Elopement Photographer

Stop looking now, you've found your photographer! We got married in Breckenridge on March 9th, 2022 for a winter wedding/elopement. We went on a snowshoeing adventure before heading back for our ceremony with our family. His recommendations were great for our hiking locations and his knowledge of the area was super helpful once it really started snowing since we had to adapt our plans for the day due to weather. We never felt awkward the whole day or during any of the poses and he really just captured the day perfectly. He's super relaxed and calming and has a more "fly on the wall approach" to photography, which we loved. He's just there to capture the day and capture the love couples have for each other without making it seem forced. His photo editing skills are fantastic and he really just enhances the natural scenery and beauty without making it look like a dramatic Instagram filter like other photographers. Overall, you can't go wrong with booking Francis for your day, especially if you're planning on an elopement.

Rocky Mountain Wedding

We were able to use Francis for not only our engagement photos, but our wedding photos as well. We had a small 80 person wedding right outside of Rocky Mountain National Park. We did not receive a single photo that we didn't like. Every single photo was chosen with purpose and love. Our wedding was a whirlwind because our original outdoor ceremony was forced inside by a rainstorm, but Francis wasn't fazed. He seamlessly transitioned us inside and the photos were stunning. He captured every laugh, every tear...every beautiful moment of that day.

I think for us, the best part about having him as our photographer was that he put my husband and I completely at ease. We are in no way comfortable in front of the camera, but with him it was easy and so natural. He was able to capture sincere smiles and the real belly laughs throughout our day. Photos are meant to be kept as reminders, Francis's photography has the uncanny ability to pull you back into each memory, as if reliving it another time. That is magical. That is art. That can only be done by someone that is not just a photographer, but someone who cares so deeply about his work and the people he offers his services to. To say we are grateful he was our photographer is an understatement for the gratitude we truly feel and the happiness we get from looking back on our photos.

Honeymoon Photoshoot that blew our minds!

Francis is one of the most talent photographers I have ever worked with. My husband and I were really interested in a photographer that could help us capture our honeymoon in Iceland. Having not been to Iceland before I really needed someone that had not only an eye for some really beautiful shots, but also someone who had a hunger to explore. At first we wanted a local photographer but Francis assured us that he could help us plan a really great day to explore. He did something that I had never expected which was made the session a true experience. We never felt awkward or posed and none of our photos felt that way either because we were truly having a great time. Francis is someone that understands the value these photos have and therefore does everything possible to make them memorable experiences and beautiful artifacts.

These photos are cherished and we can't wait to get them printed and hung around the house.

Book Francis - you will not regret it no matter where you are at in the world.
