Vancouver Wedding Photographer Photography British Columbia bio picture

a bit about me...

Everyone remembers their first love. 

The one you can’t bear to spend a waking moment without. 

The one that makes your heart skip just thinking about it. 

My first crush was with a beat-up old Minolta camera. 

I have always been interested in art, so photography was a natural transition from sketching with my hands to “drawing with light” through my camera.

My name is Fran Chelico and I am a Vancouver Wedding & Portrait Photographer...This is my blog.  A place where I can share my latest weddings ... portraits ... and random thoughts and photos ... please feel free to hang out ... snoop around ... check things out ... leave comments ... ask questions ... whatever ... thanks for stopping by ... come back anytime :)
