Wedding Photographer Francine Rambousek

Hi!

My name is Franny and I am a journalistic documentary wedding photographer based in Sullivan Catskills, NY. I specialize in capturing the raw, unscripted emotions and genuine connections of your wedding day. What sets me apart from other wedding photographers is my approach - I don't raise my voice, I am not forceful, and I capture your special day in all of its natural beauty.

My ultimate joy lies in being your constant companion throughout the process, ensuring a hassle-free experience. This way, when you receive your wedding album, you can relive the magic of your special day over and over again.

My service packages include 6-hour, 8-hour, and 10-hour options, each accompanied by an exquisitely crafted album. I understand that not all weddings are the same, so please contact me if you require a custom package.

Our Heirloom Albums that you’ll enjoy sharing with loved ones for years to come.

Wedding photography is so much more than just taking photos. One of my favorite—and most rewarding—parts of my work is crafting an album that’s specially tailored for one of the most important days of your life. I take great care arranging your photos to tell your story in a way that flows naturally, capturing all the joy, emotion, and small moments that make your day unique. My hope is that your album becomes a treasured keepsake—a beautiful reminder of your wedding that you’ll enjoy sharing with loved ones for years to come.

Before we finalize anything, you’ll have the chance to review a preview of your album to make sure it feels just right. Your input is important to me, and together, we’ll create something truly special.

It is equally important the time and effort put into capturing your wedding day is also maintained during the retouching process. Every photograph is examined to find the most optimal version and implement adjustments for color correction and composition. We’re obsessed with giving special attention to the details.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our aim is to keep our initial meeting relaxed and laid-back. Feel free to reach out and set up a consultation with us to check if we are available on your desired date. During the session, we can cover all aspects of your wedding and address any queries you may have.

  • Once you have completed your consultation and are prepared to book our services, we will create a personalized wedding contract for you to sign. To reserve and confirm your wedding date, we require a 50% deposit. The remaining balance must be paid 30 days prior to your wedding date.

  • We schedule as many meetings as you require. We recognize that there are several tasks that must be completed before your wedding day, such as meeting with other vendors, visiting potential venues, and making necessary updates to your checklist.

  • You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

  • We are delighted to offer complimentary travel coverage in Sullivan County, Wayne County PA, and neighboring areas within a 45-minute to one-hour radius of Callicoon.

    A travel fee of $500 is required for weddings taking place more than 60-90 minutes away from our location in the Hudson Valley of New York, the Pocono Region, or New Jersey. This fee also includes the option for a scout visit for a venue walkthrough.

  • You can never be too prepared for a wedding day! We believe that showing up early, well-rested, and ready to go is one of the best ways to give you the care and attention you deserve. That’s why, for destination weddings, we ask for two nights of hotel accommodations near your venue. This not only means we avoid the stress of a long drive, but also ensures we can be there bright and early—capturing beautiful details in the morning light and covering any special moments before and after your big day. Promptness and preparation are our top priorities, so you can relax knowing we’ll be there for every moment that matters.

Let’s Work Together!
