Photos by F.A. Formica

Frank and his team did an amazing job on our wedding photos. My husband and I wanted prints that would allow us to remember all aspects of our wedding for a lifetime, and Frank delivered! This is a professional team who knows their stuff. Our wedding was at 7:00pm, outside and we feared getting dark pictures. This did not happen. Their expertise with lighting and positioning was great and in the end we received vibrant pictures. Thank you Photos by F.A Formica!

Frank Formica is extraordinary at what he does. He is an amazing photographer. Once I saw his work I knew that I had to book him! My wedding pictures and engagement pictures were amazing. I received multiple comments on how great my photographers were. Frank also designed my guest book which was gorgeous and guests loved. Frank was also very responsive to all my emails and phone calls. He was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him and hope to do another photo shoot when my husband gets back from Afghanistan.

Frank and his team did an amazing job at photographing my wedding at the Kent Manor Inn in June 2011. The photos are immaculate, extremely professional and artistic. Each moment of the wedding and reception was captured flawlessly. Frank and his team were an absolute dream to work with. I highly recommend booking him for your wedding!!

Let me first start by saying that the word "photographer"does not begin to properly describe Frank Formica and his crew. They are brilliant artists!I found Formica Photography online in a desperate search to find a photographer who knew how to work on the Naval Academy grounds. After a complete disaster with the original photographer I selected for engagement and wedding pictures it was extremely important to me that I find the right photographer for the wedding day. After my initial email to Frank he contacted me within the hour to inform me that he was available for my wedding day and could set up an appointment to meet with me that week. After viewing his studio and the other marvelous reviews by past clients I was completely sold. Throughout the next months Frank not only put together a wonderful Guest Book for the wedding, but also helped me restore some old family photographs for my display at the wedding. Additionally, he happily assisted me in getting a photograph print made of me and my fiance' just two days before our wedding so that I would have it for our photo table. On top of this, he gave us the 8x10 print free of charge. During all the stress of planning my wedding Frank was simply the best to work with. He answered any and all questions I had in a very timely manner and made sure I felt calm and at ease on my wedding day. For the whole wedding day we had two marvelous photographers and I am still in awe of the outstanding work they have done. I have not yet chosen the photos for the wedding album but I am completely confident that once it is done, I will once again be blown by the amazing quality and artistic talent. To any brides who are trying to select a photographer, (not only for Naval Academy weddings but ANYONE!), I cannot write a recommendation that that would properly describe Frank's talent. For me, photography was the most important element to my wedding and after experiencing the horrific quality of service and product from my first "budget photographer" I can tell you that Frank and his team are worth every single penny.To Frank and his team, Thank you so much for capturing the best day of my life! We had so much fun and I absolutely loved working with you! I can't wait to see the wedding album!

Frank did a wonderful job with our wedding photos! Our wedding was a destination wedding and Frank made the planning process very easy. He was very prompt with correspondence and answered all our questions in a timely manner. On our wedding day, there was heavy rain which worried us, but Frank called that morning and reassured us that there would be no problem with the photos. The day went by smoothly and the photos were beautiful. We enjoyed working with Frank and Glen and appreciated their help on our wedding day. Thanks for a great experience!!

10 out of 10 times, I would hire Frank again. He’s not just a photographer but an artist. His assistant for the day, Glenn, was also fabulous. They were at the church late morning and with us until after the reception ended, late at night. Frank sent me the photos just days after the wedding and I cant stop looking at them. I cant believe the photos are untouched and look so perfect. Frank is amazing and you can 100% feel confident that he’s reliable, knowledgeable, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, you will get the most amazing wedding pictures. (Don’t let his sometimes eccentric personality turn you away – you ll miss out on the most amazing photos ever!)

I highly recommend Frank Formica. Frank and Glen took pictures of my wedding and did a spectacular job. Very professional and at the same fun to work with. I was surprised how quickly the pictures were posted on the site and ready for all the guests to look through. I've received tons of compliments from my family and friends on the quality of photographs. Again, highly recommended!

Frank was absolutely amazing, from our engagement session all the way up to the wedding. All of our photos look great and they were available to view the day after the wedding. I have had friends wait months with other photographers. Frank was also very flexible in creating a package that fit the needs of me and my family. Our custom guest book that he created for us was a huge hit at the wedding and I would definitely recommend it for something that is truly unique. I couldn't have asked for better wedding pictures, as every moment of the day was captured on film.

Frank and Glen did an excellent job photographing my wedding at the Naval Academy. I worked with Frank for my engagement pictures and he was efficient and did an awesome job. He knew exactly where to go and what to do to get great photographs. He was very flexible rescheduling engagement sessions a few times because of the weather. Frank was my choice for my wedding photographer because he is an expert at Naval Academy weddings. He caught every moment of the day and all of the pictures were amazing. I never felt rushed or tired of taking pictures because there was no waiting around for him to figure out what he was doing. He was very quick in getting the photographs to me as well. My dad even commented on how great he was so you know Frank was good. Everyone loves the pictures and Frank's work. I would recommend him to any bride!

Frank and his team did an outstanding job!

Frank Formica is the consummate professional. Although he was not feeling well the actual day of the wedding, he came w an extra photographer and supervised the photo shoot. We kept telling him to go home!!! as the crew with him was exemplary. We all had a good time and the crew blended in with the crowd at the reception and took some great shots. We have fantastic memories of a wonderful day, but more importantly we have our fantastic photos. Thanks, Frank.

First of all, the photos were gorgeous. I couldn't be more pleased with the finished product. Secondly, Frank and his crew were extremely flexible the day of the wedding as the bride and bridal party were an hour late to their portion of the pre-ceremony shoot. Not only did Frank get all the necessary shots in the condensed period of time but he did an excellent job of calming the bride's nerves and putting her at ease over being so late. He was a joy to work with throughout the day and evening, getting the job done but never being instrusive. He always seemed to be in the right place at the right time for just the right shot. There is no other choice when hiring a photographer to shoot a Naval Academy wedding! Choose Frank and you won't be disappointed.

Frank's pictures are fantastic. Before selecting a photographer I went to local photo shop and asked who would they select for their wedding and they said "Frank was pricy but great". When we selected our baker for the wedding cake I asked who took the pictures of her cakes as they were wonderful and she said "Frank Formica". We have not yet put the wedding album together but his proofs are awesome. He and his assistant photographed the rehearsal dinner, the wedding at St. Martin's Lutheran church and the reception at Kent Manor Inn's Garden House. We have some incredible pictures to select from!!!!

I can not express how wonderful it was working with Frank and his team of professionals. They were amazing from the moment they arrived while I was getting ready to the very end of the reception. The pictures speak for them selves, I have never seen photo's like them anywhere. They really captured every detail and the shots of the sunset at the Chesapeake Bay beach club were breath taken. When looking for a Photographer we interviewed many people trying to find that perfect fit, when you think about it your photographs are really the only memories you have after the Wedding is over. So we made it a point to not sacrifice on them, and we made right the right choice. I am so pleased that I can not stop looking at them. I have no clue how I will pick my favorites, they are all perfect!Thank you for such a wonderful job!

Frank and his team were wonderful! They were professional, not overbearing, and flexable. Franks pictures turned out AMAZING! We had him do our engagement photos, he came to the rehersal dinner and wedding. On the wedding day, he arrived at noon, took pictures of me and my girls getting ready, in a garden, on the trolley, church, reception and left at 11:30 pm that night. His crew (he brings 2 men) are phenominal! My picutes are beautiful. Our wedding was at St. Marys in downtown Annapolis. The pictures in the Cathedral are beautiful. He brings lighting. I interviewed many photograhers and he was the only one that could capture the beauty of St. Marys's. He also took wedding picutures on the beach at sunset that are unbelivable. He does a great mix of posed and candid. The candid pics are my favorite. He took over 7000 pictures of my wedding. He didn't miss a moment, smile or tear. We also used his classic car as the bride and groom transportation. My husband loved it. I am so thankful that i had the opportunity to work with Frank.

Frank Formica is extrememly talented and creative! Your wedding photos will be amazing! Don't "cut costs" on your wedding photography. Pay for a professional, and get professional, beautiful photos that will remain with you for the rest of your life!

Frank Formica's work is outstanding!! This is an excerpt from a thank you I sent him:Dear Frank,"I couldn't believe it when I walked to the mailbox today and found our photo disks! Thank you so much for the fabulous service and of course, our pictures are stunning! We can't sing your praises enough! I wanted to let you know that we received them safe and sound. I was excited to see our album before, but now having seen the images up close, I'm dying to see the finished album and I can hardly wait! Thank you so much for all of your hard work and professionalism. I didn't get a chance to tell you earlier, but when we first came to you, after visiting other photographers in Annapolis, I knew you were the best around and would do a fantastic job for our once in a lifetime Naval Academy wedding. I remember walking out of your house that day and telling my mom, "wow, we're so lucky he wasn't booked already." But at the time, we didn't really have any real experience with professional photographers, and we were just happy knowing we were going to have beautiful photographs to remember our special day. Now, after having been been in quite a few weddings this summer and observing other photographers and their photos, I realized just how lucky we really were! Not one of them could have even held a candle to you and your work. For example, I was a bridesmaid in a wedding where the photographer kept asking us how we wanted our picture taken, took about ten minutes to stage us and set up the picture, and then would only take one picture! This same lady also thought it would be a great idea to use the shawls of our dresses and wave them around our heads like helicopters. Needless to say, we were not impressed. I just wanted you to know that we thoroughly appreciate everything you've done for us. I also thought you should know, as if your brilliant work wasn't enough, your customer service is unparalleled. From our initial meetings, to our wedding day, and throughout this past year. I'm so thankful for your kindness and understanding after my father-in-law passed away so soon after Jon-Michael and I married. You were so patient with us and our circumstances. I just wanted you to know how blessed we were when we walked into your studio, and how blessed we are now with your beautiful photographs that we'll have to cherish for a lifetime." If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to have Frank photograph your wedding day, take it. Our pictures are stunning to say the least. His work ethic is incredible. He really knows how to use your time effectively to get everyone organized and take some amazing photos. We only had an hour between our wedding at the Naval Academy chapel and our reception at the Officer's club, but we managed to get all our family pictures taken and take pictures at all the amazing locations on the yard in a such a short amount of time because he's amazing, organized, and he knows exactly what he's doing. He's truly a professional. His customer service can't be beat. Everything is top notch, from his studio office, his samples, the online service he uses to preview your photos and share them with your friends and family, and of course, his photography. Trust me, you will love everything!

Frank and his staff were wonderful start to finish. They were true professionals, kept everything moving, understood what needed to be done, and listened to our likes and dislikes. He was fast paced, high energy, and great. He and his staff are so much more than wedding photographers. You feel like you�re the star in a real photo shoot. They knew the Naval Academy grounds top to bottom and knew where to get the best pictures. No detail was overlooked. As far as photographers go, he�s on the expensive side but worth every penny. Bargain shop for favors and extras, not your photographer. I got my proofs the next day and my album is the best I�ve ever seen.Thanks Frank!!

Frank and his team at F.A. Formica was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our first meeting was a breeze and Frank was easily accessible during the months and weeks leading up to our wedding. They made us and our families feel at ease during the photography. Our pictures are stunning. I would recommend F.A. Formica to anyone who wanted beautiful pictures from an amazing team of photographers and videographers!

When you hire Frank Formica, you are hiring more than a taker of photos, you are hiring a professional artist. From initial contact, to advance preparation for your event, to onsite work, to the delivery of the final product, Frank is the quintessential professional. And in these times when consumers are often satisfied merely to receive the services they paid for, it comes as a huge and unexpected pleasure to receive even more than you thought you paid for!Because he was not familiar with our church and our home and the reception site, Frank drove over an hour to meet with us and check out the settings and lighting for himself in advance of the wedding day. When it rained on the wedding day, Frank and the two other photographers he provided, set up a complete studio in our home to capture beautiful (and dry!) photographs. During the ceremony and subsequent events, he used his artist's experienced eye to find fabulous backgrounds and effects. He and his photographers went above and beyond, maintaining their energy and enthusiasm for their work throughout the long day and late into the night!In less than a week we were looking at hundreds of gorgeous proofs and we can hardly wait to see our version of the products he designs and creates to showcase his superb work and create a legacy of this very special event in our lives.
