Fran Chelico moved to Vancouver seven years ago after receiving formal training in New York City.
After dabbling in all kinds of photography she found her true love with weddings.
She loves the thrill and magic of weddings. To be able to capture a bride at her happiest and most radiant moment is always such a thrill. The couple are surrounded by all of the people who matter most and to capture the most tender moments as they unfold, is very magical.
To be responsible for someone else's memories that years from now will be relived over and over again just makes me so proud and fills my heart with joy. It is always such an honor.
Awards: PWPC, Fearless Photographer, JuneBug Weddings, and BC Wedding awards.

I am an Arizona based photographer who loves the desert, Boston
Terriers and has a serious addiction to bright & colorful sneakers.
I studied photojournalism at the Rochester Institute of Technology in
New York and began my career working for newspapers all over the U.S.
Currently, as a freelance photographer in Phoenix my work has been
published in countless national and international publications.
Whether photographing an editorial assignment or a couple on their
wedding day I approach each subject with thought, care and passion. I
think about my own wedding as I photograph weddings for other people.
That day was magical from start to finish for my husband and me. I
will never forget how special it was to be surrounded by all of our
friends and family. My goal is to capture that feeling for each and
every one of my clients.
