My forever photographers
[Frances and Tony have been our photographers for many seasons of our life. My husband and I are “high school sweethearts” and Frances has been there to photograph and document just about every one of our big life events. She photographed our high school prom pictures, our wedding pictures, and every event since. She is passionate about her photography and her artistic eye is completely unmatched. Frances & Tony working together as a team is an actual match made in heaven. Frances captures the most beautiful and unique shots while Tony is actively documenting the process through videography in a way that not only records major events but tells a story later when you watch it back. Their talent is raw and rare, I would trust them with anything!]
Amazing experience!
We had the privilege to work with Frances and Tony, and it was amazing. We love our pictures soooo much, and so does everyone that's seen them. We recommend Frances and Tony to anyone that wants top quality photos and also wants professionals they can trust to deliver what they promise.
What a nightmare!
If you read and listen to any review regarding your wedding photographer, please let it be this one. We hired Frances Tony for our wedding and it was absolutely the biggest mistake of our wedding. To get you on board, their communication started off okay. We planned everything out via a couple hour phone call. Then when the day got close, we started receiving emails at odd hours of the night that sounded like someone who was intoxicated wrote with questions we remembered answering. We were also asked to join a “quick meeting” where we found, Frances didn’t reference or have with her any of the notes from the previous meeting, and where we were told another couple they were working with was being prioritized over us since they were hired last minute, and their event was before ours. We were very upset and thought it was super unprofessional that she even brought this up to us. While we do understand that the photographer needs to be involved with the flow of the day, we also know that at the end of the day, it is OUR day and the photographer should honor that. During this call, she argued with my husband (who has 10 years of photography experience) about the timing of the day, lighting, and golden hour/sunset times. On the day of, she brought an extra assistant without telling us, so our venue was not prepared and this added extra stress on me that was not needed. I specifically asked for her help when posing me as I know I can be awkward looking, and she didn’t really do any of that for us. Most of the photos are candids that look awkward and directionless. Our contract stated that we should receive our photos back within eight weeks but took TEN weeks to come back. Finally, upon receiving them – we didn’t like most of them to be very frank. The few that we did like were in black and white so we reached out to see if we could get them in color. In the response back from Frances, she was not only nasty and rude, we also found out that she was withholding 150 additional images from her second shooter (that she didn’t tell us she was bringing) and told us she would give those to us in exchange for a glowing review online. Please do not make the same mistake as us by going with this photographer. It will only result in a ton of additional stress that we should not have had to deal with prior to, during, and AFTER our event.
Response from vendor•Jul 31, 2023Madison, I am so sorry that you turned out to be such an unhappy customer. Honestly, I have tried everything to appease you. Please understand this: I am in the business of making people happy, the proof is in all our positive reviews. I have tried to be gracious, kind, professional and respectful to you, yet you are determined to bring detriment to our name. You are upset because I had to call you back and verify information on the timeline we worked together on as a First Draft. I always go back and forth 2-3 times with every client before finalizing the timeline. I take pride in making sure I am on time for everything and that your day runs smoothly. You admitted you were extremely stressed out because alongside planning your wedding you guys were packing and moving, and apologized for expressing frustration toward me, to the point I had mentioned to you both that I was actually concerned about moving forward. You guys seriously got frustrated over me verifying details with you about your wedding - which is what I do to bring clarity and organization to a day that is already so stressful. Preparing the timeline is not a one and done job. I tried to make things right with you, I brought along a 2nd shooter (that you did not pay for) in an attempt to make sure I went above and beyond excellence. You were unhappy in the dress you wore, you were unhappy with the way you looked, and you were rude to your family members during portrait time. Your own mother pulled me aside and had to apologize for your behavior. Please understand I don’t drink nor do drugs, and I certainly don’t argue with any of my clients, namely your husband. I was gracious and kind to your family, my assistants and I paid you the highest compliments, and we worked our tails off for you. I have tried to appease you and yet somehow it has all turned against me. I have learned no matter what - when people are rude and nasty - stay calm, kind and professional and I have done all of the above. After the wedding I edited your photos with extra attention and care, yet you posted negative reviews purely out of spite. I am sorry you feel this way, but I gave you 110% despite your aggression and you being mean-spirited to me before, during and after your wedding. I treated you like the beautiful bride you were on your wedding day, even though you were unhappy, self-conscious, and uncomfortable the entire time. Your images look amazing, just look at the likes and comments on our Facebook page. Yes, we still left your photos up because we enjoyed shooting your wedding despite your unpleasant attitude and treatment. As I told you before, I go above and beyond for my clients. Upon fulfilling all my contractual obligations, you wrote me a very nasty review (filled with exaggerations and half-truths), and afterward asked me for several favors. Had you been pleasant, kind and reasonable, I would have given you anything you asked for. In spite of it all, I wish you happiness and success in your marriage. Frances + TonyStop looking! You've found your photographer!
Frances & Tony are a great team! Frances has an incredible talent for capturing the most beautiful moments of our wedding. I hate being in front of the camera but Frances found a way to make me feel so comfortable and relaxed and it shows in the images she gave us. Tony blew us away with the incredible video he created! WOW!! The whole experience was awesome! I definitely will continue to use this pair and HIGHLY recommend you do the same. You will not be disappointed!
