BIOGRAPHY

Frank started out in photography when he was about 20 years old. His mother worked for a photographer in New York and gave him a camera one day, and it was true love since that day for Frank.

It was a passion and love for Frank and he always had a camera with him and loved to photograph all he saw. He was a great storyteller with his photographs. He enjoyed photographing landscapes and Portraits/ Women.

Franks photos were always spectacular even back then, but over all the years, Frank has developed his skills even further to be a master storyteller thru his unique and creative vision.

He started in the photography business in 1982 as an assistant to some of New York finest fashion and lifestyle photographers. He travelled all over the Caribbean as an assistant to these master photographers and a lot of time in their studios in New York City. Here is where he developed his skills as a creative and unique photographer and learned the ropes of running a busy New York Studio.

Frank opened his own studio in 1987 in Westchester County New York. He became the most sought after bridal photographer in the New York area, prior to moving to Miami in 1994. He also still shoots many beautiful weddings in New York, Connecticut, and the Long Island area, and also throughout Caribbean.

Frank resides in Miami, Florida with his beautiful wife Angela, and his 2 macaws and Dog- Sammy and spends most of his time travelling by airplane to his next destination wedding in Caribbean, or driving to his next Miami wedding in traffic. Also likes spending time enjoying Miami and Florida Keys and just hanging around his home.

Angela also works with Frank on large weddings as a second photographer/videographer and also designs all the albums.

A Note To The Bride

I started shooting weddings about 18 years ago in New York. I remember I was paid $500.00 for my first job back then. I just always loved photographing women in general, as I found so much beauty in a womans face and body. My dream as a young man was to be a successful fashion photographer in New York, but when that did not happen for me, I decided to begin to photograph bridal imagery, and it was the best decision of my life, and I knew that this was what I loved to do as it was not a job for me, it was a passion.

At your wedding, I become a storyteller thru my creative vision and use of my camera, and my use of light and ability to capture natural spontaneous moments. I will capture the day from start to finish, as if I were telling a story with my photographs so if we are making you a album, it will be beautiful. My years of experience has made me able to easily create and capture special moments of your day and provide you and your family with many memories of this day for years to come. I am usually with you from anywhere from 5-9 hours and we become quite close by the end of the night. I work in a unobtrusive manner most of the time, but also take control when photos need to be taken. I have an ability to set-up very natural and candid type photos of bride and groom and bridal party. I am great with candid moments as most people are more relaxed and at ease, which makes my job easier.

We design and edit the final albums and videos ourselves, to garantee a perfect album design and video. Once your album/video is designed, we will send you a proof to view prior to printing of final copies being made.

When you select me as your photographer, you are making a very wise investment in my ability to preserve these wedding day moments. I take great pride in my work and strive to deliver to my brides, the most creative and beautiful wedding imagery possible.

In the past 3 years, I have had the opportunity to photograph many beautiful weddings all over Miami and the Caribbean. My passport was so full of entry stamps, from all my destination weddings, that I had to add pages to my passport to accommodate my travels. I have done weddings in Aruba, Bonaire Curacao, Barbados, St. Lucia, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, St. Kitts and Nevis, St Maarten, Punta Cana and La Romana/Casa De Campo in Dominican Republic, and many in Jamaica. I have done about 60 destination weddings in the Caribbean in the last 3 years and a lot more all over Florida and Miami. I am grateful to all the brides that chose me to be part of their wedding day and to be able to capture the days moments with my cameras. Thanks again always.

I learned a lot on my travels and had the opportunity to photograph many beautiful faces and landscapes along the way you may view on my website under personal photos gallery.

I enjoy wedding photography for many reasons. I get to travel all over Caribbean and USA and meet people from all over world and attend such beautiful wedding celebrations. I get to be able to document such a beautiful and unforgettable time in 2 peoples lives thru the use of my vision and camera. After so many years of shooting weddings you develop a way of dealing with all the different situations you will encounter when shooting weddings to always obtain spectacular bridal imagery.

My philosophy on shooting weddings is that I want you to have a great time with friends and family, and I will do my part in capturing these precious moments of your wedding day with my cameras. Drink, Dance and Enjoy it all.

The bottom line is that I will guarantee you the most creative and natural type wedding day photographs that I may possibly deliver to you. You will be extremely happy with my photographs of your wedding day. This I promise you.

I will put a BIG SMILE ON YOUR FACE !!!!!.
