Franny’s Photography Studio
Catskills · Hudson Valley · New Jersey · Poconos
Documentary Wedding Photography in the Catskills.
Real moments. Genuine emotion. Your story told exactly as it happened — not as it was staged.
MY APPROACH
The Art of Being Present
I don't treat your wedding like a film set where you're the actors — I treat it like a historic event where you are the guests of honor. Every frame in my portfolio is captured in real, living moments, shot as the action unfolds, without interruptions or a heavy-handed director calling the shots.
Your gallery isn't just a collection of pretty poses. It's a chronological heartbeat of exactly how your day felt — the quiet glances, the happy tears, the wild dance floor energy, and all those in-between moments that no amount of posing can recreate.
I observe, I feel it, and I capture it as it happens. The only time I step in with gentle guidance is during solo portraits and family sessions. Everything else? I let your day live.

Stories I've Had the Honor of Telling
SURPRISE PROPOSALS
Your proposal deserves to be ICONIC. I work behind the scenes — scouting the perfect location, mapping out every angle, and blending into the background so nothing feels staged. Whether you have a dream spot in mind or need help finding the perfect setting for you and your partner, I'm here to make it happen. Prefer something more intimate? I can schedule a private studio shoot where you'll have all the comfort and privacy you desire.
Catskills Engagement Photography
When it comes to stunning backdrops, the Catskills never disappoint. From breathtaking Delaware River views and charming apple orchards to desolate railroads and sprawling farms, it's no wonder this region has become one of the most sought-after destinations for couples looking to celebrate their love story. The beauty here is endless — and it's all yours to explore.
Whether you're staying at a cozy Airbnb, a local hotel, or are just beginning to plan your perfect proposal, I'm here to help you make the most of everything this incredible area has to offer. Together, we'll find the setting that feels uniquely you and create engagement photos that capture the magic of this place and this moment in your lives.

How many images can I fit into my wedding album?
Your wedding album is your first family heirloom, and its capacity depends on the storytelling style you prefer. We offer three tiers of premium albums to accommodate different visions: 30, 50, and 70 pages.
The total number of images varies based on two main approaches:
The "Curated Highlight" Style: Some couples prefer a minimalist aesthetic, featuring only the most "heroic" shots and significant milestones. This style uses more white space and larger, full-page spreads to let the photos breathe.
The "Full Narrative" Style: Other couples want to relive every detail—from the morning coffee to the late-night dance floor. This approach utilizes custom layouts to include a higher volume of images, capturing the complete flow of the day.
Which size is right for me?
While we can customize the layout to fit your needs, our 70-page premium album is the gold standard for those who want a comprehensive, "no-stone-unturned" documentation of their celebration. During the design process, we’ll work with you to ensure every crucial moment is given the space it deserves.
My Wedding Retouching Process
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. I’m obsessed with giving special attention to the details.
