Francois Photography

04/17/2007 Posted by missa7

The minute I stepped into her showroom I knew Kim would photograph our wedding. I went to several other photographers and they all seemed very mechanical, overpriced, and took more posed, almost cheesy, photos like a prom. Kim has a fun, light-hearted spirit and an obvious passion for her craft. She is a photojournalist, working more like an artist to capture the 200+ candid "real" moments (and of course the obligatory 10-20 posed family shots, too), and oh my gosh she over-delivered in every way possible. Obviously your wedding photographer is the one thing you have to get right - you only get one shot. Kim listened and ask very detailed questions during walk-throughs of each wedding event and I am not kidding she captured every single moment of our wedding. Going through our album is like reliving the entire day: getting ready and being silly with friends, walking the aisle with my dad, the groom awaiting his bride, special moments during the ceremony, our first kiss, our first dance (multi-sequnce - awesome!), toasts, cake, the usher who got so drunk he was dancing with a waiter's tray on his head...and an incredible shot of us leaving under a rain of petals and awesome shot in front of the capital. And yet I honestly don't remember seeing Kim - she was so stealth! She made everyone so comfortable; our candid photos are just that - candid...everyone's personality came through beautifully...and she managed to take every shot to flatter my figure! I cannot recall one picture we didn't like. We had a very hard time selecting photos for our album and have leftover proofs that didn't make the cut all over our house. The best photo, if there is one best, is what we refer to as "the money shot" - it looks like a piece of art. We blew it up to a HUGE size and have it in our den. We were truly blessed to have found Kim and now have incredible keepsakes for generations to come. We are for sure going back to her for family portraits with our kids (when they arrive!).

Pros: Your big day beautifully captured for all time

I dreamed all my life about my wedding day. I wanted it to be perfect. I knew when it was over all I would have to show for it was my wonderful husband, the dress I hoped I would never wear again and photographs. So the photographs had to be the best. I put a lot of my pre-wedding energy into finding the right person to take my wedding pictures. Kim Francois was perfect for the job. I totally trusted her and she exceeded all my expectations. Our storytelling wedding album is a work of art and we keep it on our coffee table to show all of our friends. It captures the beauty of our day and represents the legacy we plan to share with our children.

Pros: My family loved her, funny, out going

Cons: none

Oh my gosh - my wedding pictures are unbelievable. Kim is amazing! I actually interviewed TEN photographers - yeah, that is right, ten - before I selected Kim. I tend to be a little bit picky. It really paid off cuz I love my wedding pictures. I don't know how she did it since she was kind of invisible but she got every detail of my wedding and in some cases from several angles. She also made me look fantastic or "jaw dropping" as my husband would say. I have lots of friends who are getting married in the near future. Kim will be my #1 referral.

Pros: she makes me relax, friendly, has great albums

Thank God for Kim! She was absolutely wonderful!! As the mother of the bride, I was so grateful to have a competent, professional photographer to help me with my daughter's wedding. From the very beginning with our planning meetings she helped us visualize the wedding which in turn enabled us to work through each detail with confidence and precision. And the pictures - they were breathtaking! I learned a new respect for the art of photography watching Kim work and I now have a beautiful wedding album that reflects her artistry and captures the joy and happiness we felt during the wedding. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend Kim to our friends.

Pros: talented, artistic, fun to work with

Cons: not inexpensive
