Frank Donnino Photography

We hired Frank for our engagement and wedding photos. So far we have done our engagement photo session, and Frank continually exceeds our already high expectations. Nothing disappoints. His quality of work is unrivaled by others and is surpassed only by his work ethic. Our engagement photos have awed all of our family, friends, and coworkers. Frank takes such beautiful pictures, and you barely blink before he delivers them. Frank is not only excellent professionally, but personally as well. He is so excellent to work with and has a contagious, bubbling personality. His "surprises" (which I won't ruin for you here) show his dedication to his clients; he sees his clients as real people creating real memories, not just customers. I am so amazed by everything thus far. If our wedding photos turn out even half as well as those from our engagement session, I would be completely happy. But I have no doubt that our wedding photos will be just as amazing, if not more so! If you want to capture and preserve important memories--not to mention make everyone else jealous!--then definitely choose Frank Donnino as your photographer! Thank you Frank for everything!! :) more

Frank was a great photographer to work with, especially for our first professional photo shoot! He made us feel comfortable and gave us direction in a way that clearly showed he had been doing this for a long time! Another great aspect of working with Frank is his promptness. From the initial consultation to follow-up emails and phone calls, Frank was quick to respond and helpful with any questions we had along the way. His assistants were also wonderful and made the experience a memorable one. Thank you for the beautiful pictures Frank! more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Frank Donnino is by far the best photographer out there. He was so personable and very responsive. He is also full of amazing surprises! Frank Donnino thought of every little detail and his team was friendly and helpful on the wedding day. We received our pictures the morning after the wedding! We couldn't believe it. He was done editing a day later and surprised us with a video too! Don't let the wedding stress get to you, meet Frank Donnino and you'll know you found the right photographer. more

We used Frank Donnino as our wedding photographer and we are so glad we did. We couldn't have asked for a better one. The morning of our wedding, the weather didn't look too great but Frank kept on reassuring me that it will clear up by 1pm and I can have the beach photos that I wanted, well, the beach photos turned out beautiful. Frank was right all along!! He is very professional, very punctual, easy to talk to and most importantly he loves what he does and it really shows in his work ( the surprises that he sends your way are amazing :) ). Thank you Frank for choosing to work with us and we are looking forward to our next big event in our life since we already have you as our photographer :) more

Look no further, you’ve found your photographer! When I first found Frank’s ad I knew he was the photographer for us. He was the only one that immediately stood out amongst the crowd of listings. His amazing personality showed in his comical yet professional website. His photos speak for themselves as each and every one of them is stunning. However it is not until you work with him that you realize the full extent of his skill. Frank and his team will do whatever it takes to make sure you get the best lighting possible for your pictures. Frank made sure to get all of the photos we wanted even though the lighting and time crunch on our wedding day wasn’t ideal for photos. He was incredibly efficient and skilled in every aspect of his work. His superb professionalism can be seen from the first interaction; this man truly knows how to run a business. He always answered emails and texts within minutes. Even now, a month after our wedding he answered almost immediately when I had a question about downloading photos. Frank was our splurge for the wedding and he is worth every penny. He not only will capture fantastic unplanned moments (such as my father dancing on a speaker) he will capture the big beautiful moments in a way that makes them even more breathtaking. I was thrilled to have Frank there on our wedding day because he immediately feels like one of the family. He is comforting and hysterical, allowing even the most nervous bride to feel at ease and enjoy the day. When you hire Frank you will also have the pleasure of receiving some amazing surprises. One of ours was an iPad with some of the photos AT OUR RECEPTION. Everyone was thrilled to get a sneak peek of the photos at the wedding. Frank is fast, friendly, and fantastic at what he does. Words can’t describe how wonderful he is; you just need to hire him and see it first hand! (I had to cut it short because of the limit but I could go on forever! Thanks Frank!) Wishing you the best, The Riveras more

Words will never be able to express how absolutely thrilled we were with our choice to have Frank Donnino be our wedding photographer. We knew from the moment we first met with Frank that he was the photographer we wanted. He was sincere from the start and his portfolio spoke volumes. In our hearts we knew we could trust him to capture our special day without fail. We told Frank that we really only wanted one thing from him. Our request was that he capture a picture of us that would be the wedding picture that would get passed down from generation to generation. He did that and so much more. Frank came through with every promise that he made to us and then some. Be prepared when you hire Frank, because he is full of surprises. He and his teammates are super terrific to work with. Fantastic, enthusiastic, creative, innovative, exceptional, humorous, these are just some of the words that will help you to get a feel for the type of person Frank Donnino is. We would love to keep Frank in our lives to capture us through our journey in this life together. To have him as our family photographer would be amazing. When he works with you, you feel like you’re his only client in that moment, even though you know his calendar is full. That’s how attentive he is to make sure he captures everything your heart desires and even the moments you didn’t realize you desired. His focus is 100% there to fulfill your every want, need, and wish for pictures of your day. One of Dr. Seuss’ quotes that became all too familiar to us last year was, “sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory”. Well Frank, thank you so very much, from the depths of our hearts, for capturing so many beautiful moments for us. These will forever be in our memories thanks to you. Forever in your debt for being more than we could possibly ever imagined, your friends always, Heather Stafford and Ian Anderson “The Andersons” more

I had such a wonderful experience working with Frank. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is planning a wedding. His work ethic is amazing. He will work with you to make your vision come true. I promise you will have no regrets if you hire him. Frank has plenty of surprises planned for his clients. We were married over two months ago and we are still getting surprises! I do not want to give away too much because I do not want to ruin it for any future clients. But I will say that no other photographer can top him! Frank if you read this review I meant it when I said I will truly miss working with you. You made the whole wedding experience all the more memorable. If I could do it all over again I would in a heartbeat. Love, Ivy & Osmer Arauz Married 11-8-2014 more

When I stumbled upon Frank's page on wedding wire, I was immediately greeted with jokes and a sense of humor that I hadn't seen on any other photographers page. When I continued to his website, I only became more impressed by his professional, yet personal approach. I emailed him, and within hours had a reply in my inbox. We set up a phone call so we could talk and see if Frank was a good fit. We spent over half an hour on the phone as he asked me about everything from my interests in life, to my then deployed husband, and made me feel nothing but completely comfortable with him. As soon as I hung up the phone, I knew he was the photographer I wanted. I wanted pictures that I would be happy with for a life time, and I knew Frank would supply exactly that. What I DIDNT know was just how much more he would give. He took his photos quickly and efficiently and captured every important moment throughout my wedding night, even the spur of the moment free running session that my husband started on the dance floor. During dinner we had a multiple iPads in the reception room showcasing his favourite photos from the night so far which everyone loved, and FIVE hours later every picture taken was on my own personal page on his website, categorized and all. From his calm and friendly demeanor to his 30+ years of camera experience, "The bald guy" was nothing short of the perfect wedding photographer for me. Guests from my wedding have been nonstop raving about him for weeks now, and though he likes to be certain that he is the right fit for someone's wedding before being hired, I can't see any reasons why he wouldn't be the perfect fit for anyone who hired him. His surprises are many (hire him and you'll learn about those on your own) and his photos are now an irreplaceable part of my life that will always contain memories of the happiest day of my life. Five stars aren't enough. more

Why should you hire Frank as your wedding photographer? Well, of course the photos speak for themselves, but Frank became the benchmark by which all of our other wedding vendors were judged. When other vendors let us down, we found ourselves saying “Frank would never do that,” or “Frank would have called us back by now,” or “If everyone operated like Frank, this wedding planning process would be so much easier.” His whole team was so friendly, helpful, and calming during the pre-wedding getting ready/first look/family photo process. Once the ceremony and reception started, we got involved with it all and forgot about photography, until we sat down for dinner to find a tablet displaying some of our best photos so far. They were beautiful! Again, we were reabsorbed into the event, and didn’t really think much about photography until we received a very timely email that our pictures were ready for viewing. I made it through the wedding without crying, but the pictures brought me to tears. They captured every aspect of the event. There were so many pictures, and yet we really didn’t even see the photographers that night—they were truly invisible and unobtrusive. We are so glad we chose this talented team to photograph our wedding and can recommend them without reservations. more

With a hectic schedule and a long distance relationship, I thought finding and booking a photographer at the right time would be impossible. After researching so many photographers online and reading countless reviews, I thought I'd try my luck with Frank, since I couldn't find anything but great reviews on him. With the combination of amazing photos on his site, his hilarious emails and upbeat personality, I was confident I was making the right decision when choosing to book an engagement photo shoot with him. He made time for us on a busy day, was early to our shoot, captured some stunning photos, and even brought a second photographer along as a surprise. I was so happy with his work, and I am really hoping he is free when we finally book a venue and date for our wedding. If you're looking for a great and experienced photographer, Frank will not disappoint! more

We used Frank for our wedding on December 30th, 2014. We absolutely loved him. We had an outdoor evening wedding with sparklers and fireworks and Frank knew just how to handle all the demanding lighting situations and the pictures turned out incredible. He told me exactly which sparklers to buy to make the best shots, what time to start the pictures to take advantage of the best lighting, looked up sunset times for us so we knew when to start the ceremony so that it would be just getting dark for the end to make the sparklers stand out, spent time taking beautiful shots of all the little details, and he got the three children to smile (easily!) for the pictures. He even arrived an hour early, which speaks volumes about his dedication. It’s the one thing we’ve heard over and over from wedding guests (and those that couldn’t make it but lived vicariously through the pictures) in the days following. They all LOVE the pictures, especially the ones of themselves. As most of my family, including my father, couldn’t attend the wedding, being able to send them a link to an online gallery of fantastic pictures was really very special. (And he was fast! The online gallery was set up and filled with pictures when we woke up the next morning! We were able to look at them all over breakfast the next day.) The most important thing to me was having exceptional pictures to remember the day, and I couldn’t have asked for more or been any happier. more

Frank is the best photographer I have ever met and worked with. He is very profesionnal and I definitely recommend Frank for any events!! My wedding photos were gorgeous. Frank has also a great personnality, it was easy and funny to work with him! He did a great job before, during and after my wedding! more

I found Frank after searching through numerous reviews online and checking every wedding website I could find. My fiancé and I loved his photos and ended up comparing all other photographers to him! We decided Frank was the one for us and we're even more pleased when we contacted him for the first time. His fast response and upbeat personality were exactly what we wanted. We quickly set up an engagement shoot and we're blown away by his professionalism and creativity. He creates magical scenes in unexpected places. Our engagement photos have an incredible backdrop with vibrant colors. We received an entire video of all the photos within 12 hours of shooting! Yes, 12 hours. We were so amazed with the quality and fast response that we knew instantly this was the best wedding vendor we had chosen. Frank will be shooting our wedding in April 2015 and we couldn't be happier to work with him. After hearing so many horror stories of how long couples wait for photographs, we feel like we made the best decision with Frank! He works so fast, yet pays extreme attention to detail. 2 weeks after, our engagement shoot Frank sent us the most beautiful gift that I will treasure forever. Thank you Frank for always making us feel like the most important couple even when we know you work with so many! You won't be disappointed with your choice if you work with Frank. He is truly a gem.

I knew Frank was the right photographer for us after reading a little about him and seeing some of his work. The Great Frank Donnino (Yeah, I said it!) Magician? Meteorologist? Amazing Fearless Photographer! On our wedding day he had horrible conditions to work with and despite the uncooperative weather, he still managed to make and capture amazing precious moments for us. When Angie and I woke up in the morning to the sound of rain that day, we expected a lot of hotel lobby photos. Unaware that Frank must have woken up and decided he was going to perform miracles all morning that day. Just to ensure we'd get what we had asked for, photos on the beach during sunrise. This bald guy knew his stuff, when the rain would stop and how long we'd have before it would pick up again. I was very impressed from the start all the way to the very last shot. His assistant Robyn was über amazing as well. Kind, thoughtful, friendly and very helpful. Frank you and Robyn were very impressive! When I spotted you, you were voted Top 20 Fearless Photographer. The "Fearless" is spot on, top 20 is an understatement to say the least. Thank you both so much for helping us in capturing Angie's day and making it breathtakingly beautiful even with the rain. If we ever need or want a photographer again, you are hands down number 1 in our eyes and would love to have you capture our precious moments again. The Suit - $ The Dress - $ The Rings - $ The Bald Guy - $ The Photos - Absolutely Priceless! Thank you so much Frank and Robyn. The photos were absolutely precious! more

Frank Donnino (My bald headed photographer) has been the most attentive vendor/photographer I have even come across. I just don't know how he does it! He responds to all you calls and emails almost instantly, is always more than happy to answer any questions you may have and is extremely helpful. This past August I was fortunate to take my engagement pictures for my November wedding at the beach and it was AMAZING. I mean, the guy is a magician! I kept showing them to my coworkers and family members and I only heard GOOD things. How does he do it? I looked like a model, maybe a rock star? I’m flabbergasted. I am also very embarrassed that it took me THIS long to write a review for him, I made time stand still so I can write this... ONLY for him! I RARELY write reviews! So, needless to say... you'd be missing out on an amazing opportunity to get some amazing shots of you and you’re honey if you don't give him a try. The minute you sit down with him at his Starbucks and he turns on his laptop you'll be awestruck. When I met him, I felt like I was reuniting with on old friend. He's just... amazing!

Frank Donnino by far is one of the most genuine, authentically talented people I have ever met. Not only is he an AMAZING photographer, he is an amazing person. From the first conversation with Frank, I knew he truly took pride in his work and making his customers happy. We commissioned Frank for our engagement photos and wedding day photos and I can honestly say, choosing Frank as our photographer was THE best wedding decision we made. He is quick, yet thorough in capturing the moment and was always available to answer any questions we had during the process. We got married on a Friday, and by Saturday we were able to show our friends and family all the photos before everyone headed back home, which meant a lot to us. Our bridal party was in awe at how efficient Frank was, and how well he interacted with the children in our bridal party. We had been concerned that the kids wouldn’t behave, or begin to get antsy, but Frank had it under control, and was able to get every child to smile with no problem! Despite the hiccups on the wedding day, Frank was there to keep myself and my now-husband calm, cool and collected. “Don’t worry. Everything is okay” he said. That was all I needed to hear to take a breathe and relax. Just writing this review, I am tearing up with joy at the thought of Frank and how grateful I am that he was (highly) recommended to us and we had the pleasure of working with him. In my mind, there is no other photographer that compares and I in turn, would highly recommend Frank to anyone who asks. My husband and I look forward to working with Frank again for family photos and baby pics…. we wouldn’t trust anyone else. more

My husband and I wanted to take a moment now that things are settled down from this amazing past weekend to thank Frank Donnino SOOO much for photographing such a perfect baby shower and SURPRISE wedding event. We couldn't have asked for a more amazing photographer. We will have amazing photographs and video now to keep with us for a lifetime and there are just not enough thank you's in the world to express our gratitude for that. His pictures are phenomenal, especially his ability to get the colors and lighting to perfection. He provided the photos very quickly after the wedding, much faster than our friends' photographers. We have gotten compliments on our photos like you wouldn't believe; many of our relatives have told us that they've never seen better photos taken. We feel so lucky that Frank and his amazing staff at Frank Donnino Photography were available that weekend to capture a day we will never forget! Frank's patience (as we have a very large family), professionalism, skill, and artistic eye were all deeply appreciated. His photography is highly recommended and I would certainly hire him again. Thank you Frank!!! Frances & Eric Cone more

I hired Frank for our wedding. I knew from his portfolio that he would be an awesome photographer - and he didn't disappoint. The photos were wonderful! But what impressed me most was how organized he was. I have been at tons of weddings where the photographer took FOREVER. Not Frank. He shuffled all the family members in and out. He knew all the variables - who was with what family member. Click! Click! We were done in no time! And Frank was funny, upbeat, pleasant and made everyone feel like a supermodel. I couldn't have been more pleased. My lovely bride was gorgeous. And he even made my ugly mug look presentable! more

After doing hours of research and reviewing endless portfolios, I accidentally stumbled upon Frank Donnino’s mobile website. I couldn’t stop laughing and had to talk to this guy. My fiancé and I goof around all the time and knew we would need someone who had and could appreciate the humor in life. Frank’s follow up to my inquiry was immediate and we had a phone conversation later that evening to cover the basics. From the phone conversation, we were excited to meet Frank and see if our search for a photographer for the most important event in our life was over. After meeting with Frank in person, without hesitation- we knew our search was done. Our engagement sessions took place on a very humid evening just before dusk. Frank was extremely professional and fun. He knew all the right angles and poses to ensure we both looked our best at all times even though we were about to melt at times. Our engagement photos were ready within hours. SO exciting for a couple that thrives on instant gratification! Every single person that we have shared our pictures with has raved about them and tells us how lucky we are to have found such a talented professional. We couldn’t agree more. Frank also adds these personal touches and surprises throughout the process which never fail to brighten our day. With each photo and surprise, Frank raises the bar for every other wedding photographer out there to a height that I’m not so sure is attainable by anyone but him… I can’t wait for our wedding day where I know we will be in the best hands around. more

If you choose Frank Donnino as your photographer, you will not be let down. Frank is the most professional photographer you will have the pleasure working with. We knew from our first conversation we had over the phone that he was the one. Frank’s energy and compassion is clearly displayed in full view from the start. Frank never stopped with the amazement and surprises. We still continue to have the feelings we had at our wedding through our pictures. Every family has a meltdown on a special occasion, but Frank makes it all better. His excellent professionalism shows at times like this. Our experience was once and a lifetime because of Frank. Without Frank as your photographer, your day will never be completely captured the way you truly wish deep down. Mr. Frank Donnino, you are the best of the best! more
