    Fantastic experience! Beautiful photos!

    Frank and Glenn did a fantastic job! Our photos are incredibly beautiful--they exceeded my expectations across the board! This was a second wedding and we are an older bride and groom. The photos were amazing. They did a great job capturing the location in downtown Annapolis. The turn around time was very quick too. We were extremely pleased. I would highly recommend Frank and Glenn.

    AMAZING "After wedding" photo session!!!

    FABULOUS from start to finish...we hired Frank to photograph our daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner initially (and the photos were AMAZING) and subsequently for an "after wedding" photo session, as it rained on her wedding day, making outdoor photos in the gardens and many other areas of the venue not happen. Two photographers came and really took their time - not only were they full of great pose ideas, they made the session so much fun...and captured the bride and groom in stunning photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Frank could not have been more thoughtful, helpful, or easier to keep in contact with all along the way. He even went to the venue ahead of the time without us to "scope out" just the right places to take photos!!! Who does that???? A true professional!!!!! I cannot recommend strongly enough for brides to consider an "after wedding" photo session...it was much more relaxed and unhurried, in contrast to trying to take all the photos you really want on the wedding day itself. The amazing pictures taken outdoors are more than I ever could have hoped for....THANK YOU FRANK!!!!!

    Perfection!

    Francis and Glenn were an absolute dream to work with. They were high-beat and it was obvious they love what they do. My images were ready within a week of my Wedding and they were literal perfection. I highly suggest them for any occasion. All prices were made available to me up front and I couldn’t be happier.

    Wonderful experience

    Frank from Formica Studios and his team did a fabulous job capturing our wedding! The photos are wonderful. We also did a video which came out beautifully. Frank was great with communication leading up to the wedding and as well as after. He had our photos and video to us in a very timely manner. I highly recommend him as a photographer!

    Simply the Best

    I can't say enough good things about Frank Formica and his assistant Glenn Miller. They were professional, thorough, caring, thoughtful, funny, and personable with us and all of our guests. It is clear that Frank has decades of experience in his field and takes pride in his work. The dialogue between the two of them was witty and entertaining, and one could tell they had a great working relationship and functioned seamlessly as a team. My husband and I are tickled pink about our photos and video, and they exceeded our expectations. We highly, happily, and unquestionably recommend Frank Formica and his team.

    Simply the best!

    There are not enough words to describe the beautiful images that Frank captures in every one of his pictures! He is the most knowledgeable, experienced photographer who easily captures every detail, every emotion, in all of his photos. Frank has an easy-going manner and effortlessly coaches you through poses to capture your best self. From someone who absolutely does not enjoy having her picture taken, he is truly a miracle worker and made our wedding photo session purely joyful. Having him capture all of our family events, I can easily speak volumes about his professionalism, flexibility, and perfect photos for any event!

    Simply, Elegant, Joyful and Loving

    Simple, elegant, joyful and loving…This was our vision for our wedding and F.A. Formica nailed it perfectly! The process of working with Formica was seamless and pleasant. Special attention was paid to the slightest of details and specific moments we wanted to capture. Still, Formica had the expertise to captured other beautiful moments we never even imagined. It was a joy to work with Frank and his team as they photographed and filmed the best day of our life!!!

    Formica photography

    Frank captured memories we will cherish our life time. In his pictures, one can feel the emotion of the precious moments. He is an artist, and puts insight and caring into each photo. His charisma also added an element to the wedding, making memories in taking the photos themselves. He is as much a gift as his photos.

    The best, highly recommend!

    I am so happy that I chose Frank and his wingman, Glenn A. Miller, to be our wedding photographers! The chemistry between the two is amazing. Not only do they get the best shots, as well as capture the actual touching 'moments' of the day; they are great at communicating with you throughout the day and the entire process, making sure you feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. And also, they are very professional, prompt, and photos and sneak peaks are sent quickly. I highly recommend!

    Frank is the BEST wedding photographer!

    Frank and Glenn were spectacular wedding photographers. They captured our wedding day perfectly and made the most of all the time we had at each photo location. Frank called me several times before our wedding to plan out our photos, and answered every question I had quickly and thoroughly. Frank and Glenn are professional and made taking our photos so much fun. To complete the perfect experience, Frank got us the photos and video in less than a week after our wedding day. I know friends who have waited weeks to receive their photos. Being able to share our photos so soon after our day was so special. I would hire Frank and Glenn for every event I would want to remember. A huge, sincere thank you!!

    Frank and Glenn were PERFECT in capturing every moment of our day with creativity and spunk. Our photos are the die for and can’t believe the attention to detail and pure talent this team has. No other photographer can measure up to Frank and his team.

    Wedding 7/8/22

    We absolutely loved Francis & his team! They were wonderful & made sure to capture every precious moment. We would definitely use his team again if we needed a photographer again. They made sure to be patient with the children as well. Taking pictures of toddlers is definitely a challenge but they made sure to do it with a smile! 10/10!!

    Responsive, outstanding, professional

    Responsive, outstanding, professional. The pictures were outstanding. People have been contacting us to find out who the photographer was as everything was done perfectly. The entire event was captured in its entirety. He paid attention to our priorities in our request, was in close contact with us in regard to event planning timing etc. and the pictures were ready within 48 hours. Couldn’t have asked for anything better!!!

    The Best Ever Wedding Photographers! 🌟

    The Best Ever Photographer in the area!!
    We were planning the wedding at the short notice and honestly didn’t expect to find such a quality photography studio in the area for a wonderful price range! When we got to Francis’ studio surrounded by number of magical wedding pictures, we had no doubt that’s the studio we want our wedding to be pictured by! Extremely knowledgeable and accommodating, Frank and Glenn led us to the perfect postures that looked naturally on photos that are going to last for years to come! Will definitely recommend their team to anyone who is looking for truly devoted photographers for their wedding! Couldn’t imagine our first look and ceremony pictures to be even better, so grateful for Frank and Glenn!

    Frank and Glen was absolutely amazing, I am so happy with our pictures and wedding video. My husband and I were so impressed with their professionalism and kindness to our family and friends. I will highly recommend Frank for any event you have, that requires photography. I know we will use him again in the future. The level of experience and knowledge he has as a photographer no one compares, he is an artist and a genius!
    Thank you Frank from Sharon and Victor!

    Easy to work with and great eye for finding the perfect place for an interesting and beautiful shot.

    Frank arrived early to scope out the venue for the best shots. He is friendly and put the wedding party at ease so shots were natural rather than forced. Great variety of shots from many angles. All shots were crystal clear and at the best angle to be flattering to each guest. Highly recommend this skilled photographer.

    Simply the best!!

    Glenn and Frank make such a great team! They picked up on the vibe of our wedding immediately and helped things move along smoothly when things were looking dicey (our deacon hit a bit of traffic and Frank and Glenn jumped right in to knock out some photos while we waited, they even figured out which of our guests were ordained, lol), they didn't make me feel bad about becoming a bridezilla for about 10 minutes, they just helped move me through it, and they were gracious when we forgot to tip them until later in the week :\ Oops!! Sorry about that guys!!

    The photos are of course stunning and priceless (but decently priced, haha), they made sure to get all the shots we wanted and they had suggestions of their own which helped capture the event beautifully.
