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.
