You may remember Scott & Deanna’s wedding from a few months ago … well we did a ‘trash the dress’ session about 2 months after their wedding on a very cold rainy day at Stanley Park.  The were both troopers bearing the cold for as long as they did

I love love love this image!

Justin & Jenn are hands down one of the easiest couples I have ever had the pleasure of photographing!  Justin’s grandfather used to be a photographer so he has a real appreciation for the art and was a pro in front of my camera.  Jenn … bless her

Which is your favourite??  Black and white or Colour…her eyes are amazing!! 

America’s Next Top Model …

The following collages are pretty much how our whole shoot went

We got lost for a long time during our hike … quick change then off for more photos …

Justin, I’m sure you won’t have to worry about this when you’re married

Thanks again J & J … you guys are serious rockstars!!!

I had the pleasure of photographing Joe & Nicole’s wedding on Saturday.  The ceremony was at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church and later had their reception at the Bridges Restaurant in Granville Island.  We had a few hours to take some wedding party shots and despite the heat, got some great shots…you guys were real troopers…thanks for allowing us to capture your day.   I hope you are having a blast in Cabo

Beautiful BCBG shoes…

Makeup by Loretta … she did a fabulous job on all the ladies … they looked lovely.

It was very important to Nicole to have a photo of the city in the background.  If she hadn’t moved here, she never would have met Joe

My second shooter Nick Beaulieu took the next 3 photos…Thanks Nick for all your help.

I love this capture he got of Joe … he loves trying to mix things up and is really funny … you seriously crack me up

Nick snagged this photo of me taking a series of Joe … lol … yes I am vertically challenged and need things to stand on

Here’s a little sneak peak of Justin and Jenn’s engagement shoot … lol … thanks for a great hike and a wicked awesome shoot!  you guys are a riot!

After many many months of preparation…I am proud to announce my new website has just launched.  What a long and stressful process, but definately worth it!  Please check out www.franchelico.com and see if you agree!  I would love any comments or feedback, if any

I would like to thank the team at ShowIt Sites for all of their help…especially Andrew!  You definately saved me from pulling my hair out a few times Andrew and I can’t thank you enough!!  You ROCK!!!   David Jay is the creator of all the ShowIt products and I find them to be very easy to use and they look great!  If anyone is looking for a new site, slideshows, etc. this is the place to go.

I am equally happy with my new blog!   The team from ProPhoto Blogs, especially Jared Henderson, were incredibly helpful and quick to respond with any question I had.  Jared was on vacation and was still emailing me with answers to my questions.  He was just as dedicated to getting my blog up and running as I was…very very impressed!  you guys are truly amazing!  Thank you for all your hard work.

And you can’t put up a blog post on a photo blog without a photo or two…I took these last summer outside the Sequoia Grill Restaurant  in Stanley Park.  You can’t get a more beautiful sunset!!   {sigh}  Dreaming of summer nights, flip flops and warm weather!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of being a second shooter for Kristel Wyman at Leslie & Leigh’s wedding. It was really great meeting someone else in the industry and being able to shoot together (and share some tricks

Bride & Groom dancing with her parents watching … thought this was a sweet moment.

Cool reflections…

Leslie & Leigh met playing Volleyball…love this shot!

Thanks for a great day!
