My wife (Diana) and I own a small office/studio that gives personalized service to each of our clients. One thing that is important to know is that I am a full time photographer. We don’t double book weddings and then contract them out to less experienced photographers. We are with you every step of the way from consultation to delivery of the DVD and album. I think that after you have looked at our investment guide and see our sample album’s you will agree that RH Francis Photography can fulfill your vision for your wedding photography.

We are confident you will not find a more creative, competent and conscientious wedding photography team in Northwest Indiana. We pride ourselves in the amount of equipment we have invested in over many years, so that our clients will benefit. We have also invested in education from NYI in New York, various workshops and seminars over the past years just to give us a better understanding of lighting and the newest techniques. We invest a lot of money to give you the service and the quality that you are looking for. We didn’t just pick up a camera and call ourselves photographers, we’ve earned it! We are active members of “PPA” (Professional Photographers of America), “WPPI” (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International), “NAPP” (National Association of Photoshop Professionals). Each of your images are fully color corrected and processed through photoshop with our own processing actions for a consistent and artistic look. We’re not weekend shooters who are trying to make a little extra money and then go back to their real jobs. This is our business, our name and how we make our living, you can bet you will be treated right.

Our goal is to put you at ease and build a trusting relationship so that you feel comfortable with taking pictures (all day long). Unlike other vendors we will be with you all day long, from the getting ready images all the way into the reception. After all my years of experience I’ve noticed that there is a bond that develops between the photographer, the couples and the family members that for me is truly a special relationship. Plus, we just love what we do and have such a blast meeting your friends and family.

Why You Will Love Us!

Two Photographers are Included in all Packages:

Digital Negatives are Included in all Packages:

All final images are included on a DVD, each file in Color & B&W. Plus you also get all the UnEdited images for yours to keep and store. If your package includes an Engagement or Bridal Session, you get those images too.

Retouching Included in all Packages:

To ensure beautiful results photo after photo, we include basic retouching in each of our packages. Not just your album photos, but every photo you receive. You will always look your very best.

Black and White Conversions:

Can’t decide on black and white vs. color? You won’t have to! Black and White conversions are a standard of our services, and will be included in every package at no extra charge. For the photos you choose, we will also be happy to add sepia tones, selective coloring, and other effects as well.

Online Gallery:

All wedding services come with a complete online gallery. Use any computer to show off your wedding photos to family, friends, and co-workers. We have an easy cart system so they can even purchase their favorite images and have them delivered directly to their house. Aunt and Uncles who live in different states but couldn’t make it to the wedding can still see how the wedding was and the events of the day. Share the love!

State of the Art Gear:

We only use state of the art professional photographic equipment like NIKON as well as Digital Darkroom Photo Editing software. Each photograph receives individual treatment for maximum quality photo after photo.

No Limits on Photos or Time or Locations:

We arrive as you prepare for your wedding and stay into the Reception. RH Francis Photography doesn’t set limits on the Time, Locations or the amount of photographs that we will take at your wedding and reception, so just have fun and know it’s all being covered.

Fine Art Albums:

We offer “Flush Mount Fine Art Albums” in 8×8″ , 10×10″ or 12×12″ sizes. These albums are professionally designed using the images that you choose. We don’t have a high markup on our albums so make sure you compare our prices.

Unobtrusive Wedding Photography:

There will be minimal posed photography allowing you to enjoy your day. We try to get most of the formals out of the way prior to the ceremony and then the rest right after the ceremony. We won’t drag you around all day taking posed photography. For the most part during the reception you won’t even know we’re there. You have fun stuff to do!

We are a registered business:

You don’t have to worry if we are going to be around long enough to shoot your wedding. My wife and I have a business studio where we pay rent, taxes and have insurance. We aren’t part timers that do this in their spare time for extra money and you have to compete with their real jobs. I’m a full time professional photographer, this is how I earn my living, you get our full attention.

Thoughtful Customer Service:

We are happy to answer all your questions at any time. We provide all your finished products in a timely and professional manner. In short we treat you the way you expect to be treated. We go the extra mile to make sure everything is just as you want it. Read this note we received from Christina & Steven Brown after we photographed their wedding.
