FAQs

  • We are a happy Catholic family and lovers of Jesus Christ. We love having a business where we can both glorify God through our craft and celebrate the gift of marriage.

    Mrs. Frankie grew up Protestant and came into the Catholic Church in 2021, so she holds a deep honor and love for the family of God in Protestant traditions and understands the beauty of the global Church.

    Mr. Frankie was raised Catholic and discerned the priesthood as a seminarian from the Diocese of Arlington.

    We live our lives in the power of the Holy Spirit and know Him very well.

  • First of all, Holy Spirit is our scheduler, and we submit to His leadership completely.

    Typically, couples book their weddings with us at least six months in advance, but reach out to us! We may have your date available.

  • We offer engagement sessions beginning at $650 for a local session.

    A 90-minute engagement session is included with our Premier Wedding Package.

  • We have never had this happen, but in the case that there is some circumstance where we would be unable to shoot your wedding — a family emergency or natural disaster — we will present another photographer for coverage of your wedding. We would still edit and produce your entire gallery.

  • Typically, couples can expect to receive between 20-50 images per hour contracted. 

    Delivery ranges between 4 and 8 weeks depending on the package.

    Sneak peek images are delivered within 48 hours of the end of the wedding day.

  • Yes, we travel for weddings and love exploring new locations. Send us a message, and we will create a custom quote for you. There are many locations that we visit regularly, so we have special pricing for each of those locations.

  • We love getting creative input from our clients. Please send us your Pinterest boards and DM us anything you love on Instagram. 

    For each wedding, we ask the couple to make a list of all the different combinations of family for the portrait session following the ceremony. 

    We believe that you will move forward with hiring us because you trust our creative vision.

  • Our booking process is very simple. Share the details of your wedding with us through submitting this form. We will reach out to you to schedule a call. From there we both will sign the contract, and when we have received your deposit (50% of your total payment) you are officially booked with The Frankies.

  • We always look to support the vision that our couples have for their wedding day and offer additional hourly rates should things not run on schedule.

  • Because we love kids, we have decided to stop posting photographs that show children’s faces online. We leave the decision how how photographs of children are shared from our family sessions to each parent.

    We still photograph family sessions (very often), but we will not advertise it through images from past sessions.

    Inquire about family sessions through contacting us here.

Kind Words from Our Past Clients

We cannot say thank you enough for these incredible photos and all you did to capture such a special day for us. The ceremony video was truly beautiful and captured all the most incredible moments from the most incredible angles. We've watched it multiple times already and it brings tears to our eyes. We will have that for the rest of our lives!

The photos are truly beautiful, as well! We had so much fun going through them.

We also wanted to say thank you for how incredibly wonderful, kind and fun you were during the day. I still think back to the dance floor and the energy you brought as you filmed various moments. People were commenting how great it was! 

We are truly grateful!
