About


I am Paul, a husband, father, and photographer serving the east coast NY, NJ, tri-state area, and available for travel worldwide. I have a joy and enthusiasm for life, love, and marriage. I love creating beautiful photos and capturing moments and memories but more importantly I love to photograph weddings and engagements because I love marriage and the love it signifies.

I believe your wedding and engagement photography should be as beautiful as the emotions they capture. The photos I take are intimate & candid. The experience is relaxed, carefree, and romantic. I am committed to providing beautiful photos and a beautiful experience to our couples, while helping them to be fully present to one another during our time together. I value each of my couples and how they inspire me in my own marriage.

Wedding collections start at around $5500. Any products you may wish to choose such as albums and canvas prints, can be added upon request. I would love to set up a time to meet with you and your fiancé at my studio and hear more about your wedding and what you are looking for.

I work together with each couple before the wedding to create the perfect wedding day schedule, shot lists, and timeline. I keep the time, mind the shot lists and schedule so that you do not have to, but instead are free to fully enjoy your wedding day stress-free. I strive to make your wedding experience, from the planning to the big day and beyond, the most blessed experience.

Paul is the BEST!!

Paul is an incredibly talented photographer, genuinely kind person, and has an unmatched passion for his work and clients. His dedication to his clients is evident throughout the entire wedding planning process and day of the event. I typically feel a bit awkward posing for photos, but having Paul with me throughout the wedding morning prep and the whole day felt like I was just spending time with someone I’ve known a long time. I was very comfortable having him there for all the big moments, and I felt truly present with my husband throughout my entire wedding day. His calm presence helped me work through my wedding jitters and made me feel more confident. He captured so many beautiful genuine moments, both posed and candid, and you can feel the emotions in all the pictures. He is incredibly talented!

I was really impressed by the portrait locations he identified at a venue that was new to him, managing our very large bridal party, and our large family sizes, his creative vision and ability to provide direction while maintaining a calm atmosphere, his dedication to getting the perfect shots, and flexibility throughout the day. He was also very helpful in talking through timing and shot lists ahead of the wedding and did not miss a single photo that we wanted. He was the perfect photographer and I couldn’t recommend him more highly to other brides & grooms!!

Paul Francis Photography exceeds expectations!

We cannot recommend Paul Francis Photography highly enough!
From our first meeting, Paul put all of us at ease about such an important part of our daughter’s wedding—the photographs that would ultimately memorialize the special day!
Prior to the wedding day, Paul was extremely communicative about the process. He helped establish time lines that kept our day on track. Paul’s professionalism & preparation helped the day flow incredibly smoothly. Paul’s truly calm demeanor on the actual day is remarkable! Since everyone is so comfortable around him, Paul was able to capture not just beautiful portraits, but the true essence of the day and the many emotions. That is truly a gift.
Special note: the hairspray moment! Our daughter got caught in a bit of gusty wind on the beach. Paul sensed her angst and came to the rescue! He found hairspray from his car and literally saved the day! The bride commented at the end of the night, “How great is Paul?!”
We are now enjoying the gallery of pictures and Paul’s video and portraits. I am overwhelmed by his artistry! He exceeded our expectations! Many thanks to Paul & Carolyn for capturing the best day ever!

Paul was incredible, cannot recommend him enough.

Paul was absolutely fantastic at our wedding and it lead up. In our first conversation, he asked how my husband and I met and for our whole story to make sure he could capture that in our wedding photos - something that meant SO much to us. He was so organized, creating a moment by moment timeline for the day of, having multiple meetings to ensure he was ready to capture everything we wanted. On the day of, he was AMAZING. He not only made me (as the bride) feel so calm and so at ease, but he was so fast, so easy going with the flow of what we wanted and off to the side / capturing from afar when he needed to (almost like we didn't even know he was there). Multiple family members shared how great he was as well, getting everything done in a tight timeline and making it easy & fun. He also had a few surprises for us during the reception that quite literally made the night so special. In addition to photos, Paul also captured some live shots that he strung together in a short video for us - I wasn't sure I wanted anything like that, but it was SO perfect and SO amazing, I can't explain how happy I am that we have it. I highly highly recommend getting a video like that as well, with photos. Truly the best experience and the best photographer!!!!

Paul Francis Photography was a pleasure to work with. They are unobtrusive and capture some of the most amazing moments. They have a distinctly fresh style and take extreme pride in their work. They are also very personable and friendly, not only during the wedding, but long after the last photo is taken. They were the first photographers I had worked with who gave me credit on their blog as the hairstylist for a wedding they shot. They also shared the excitement with the other vendors when their photos were featured on a wedding blog. To me, this shows their couples aren't just numbers, but celebrations to be cherished and shared! Its also a huge plus that their photos are gorgeous! I highly recommend Paul Francis Photography!!
