Frequently, people inquire about my ability to capture such genuine moments in photographs. The answer is straightforward – I let moments unfold naturally. Leveraging Florida's natural light and scenic backdrops like beaches and landscapes, I maintain authenticity in my work without relying on artificial lighting or heavy editing.

People
Frank Simonetti
I didn’t choose to be a professional photographer, photography chose me. I couldn’t imagine wanting to do anything else when I grew up. At the Art Institute of Boston, I studied photography and went on to work as a news photographer for several Boston-area newspapers. It was interesting work, but it wasn’t what I wanted I missed the joy that I found in wedding photography and family photo sessions.

In June we contracted with Frank Simonetti to take photos of our 50th wedding anniversary on Marco Island. We had a group of 37 made up of multiple families that were celebrating with us for a week at Marriott's Crystal Shores. We wanted photos of our children and grandkids, each of the individual families and then separate photos with each family and us, the anniversary couple. a myriad of combinations and a challenge for any photographer!

We were extremely pleased and impressed with all the photos that Frank took and his creativity and attention for detail! Positioning everyone, at various locations in the garden and on the beach, while ensuring he was capturing the right light and that the background was perfect. Even more incredibly, he managed to get everyone in the group shots of 37 people, to all be smiling and look good.that was simply outstanding!

There wasn't one bad shot or any one person who was upset with their photo. our entire group commented on his professionalism and creativity. Frank did all this in about 1 1/2 hours, at a reasonable cost and had the link to the photos available within 3 days so we could share his amazing, vivid photos with our family and friends! Frank - thanks for doing such a great job and for capturing our anniversary perfectly and providing us with photos that we will cherish for a lifetime!

Frank did an outstanding job photographing our extended family while on vacation in Captiva. Not only are the photos gorgeous but we also had a great time during the session. He made it fun and he captured our family in a beautiful way in a variety of backgrounds. His pricing and turnaround time is great too. Highly recommend!

Frank was wonderful to work with when we hired him to take Family Photos for dad's 80th birthday. He did so many shots of the whole family and even small groups and just shots of the kids, etc. His sense of humor made the photo session light and enjoyable. The whole family is SO HAPPY with the resulting photos. My favorite it this one of my nephews that he took with the full moon rising in the background. Hire Frank today!

Frank did our maternity photos this weekend and was absolutely amazing. He thoughtfully chose the landscape and light that would suit his vision best. He is clearly passionate about what he does and a true professional! I would use Frank for all future photos shoots thank you Frank!

Frank created beautiful photographs for my wedding! He was very responsive and easy to work with during the entire process from planning all through the day of my wedding. He was funny to work with and my family and friends really enjoyed that. He was also very quick and mindful of allowing us to enjoy the day and not be too bogged down with constant pictures throughout the night.

He chose the best backgrounds and even kept us out of the sun before the ceremony. He sent me teaser pictures which are so gorgeous and a very appreciated touch. I highly recommend him for any of your photo needs!

I and My whole family enjoyed the experience and it ended up in the memories of our vacations from photo session on Sanibel Island. I honestly say that it made our vacations memorable. Frank is the professional photographer who captured the natural light and sunset on the beach.

We are so pleased we chose Frank to be the photographer for our beach wedding on Sanibel island. We also made a last minute decision to also include a video. We are absolutely thrilled by the photos and the video. Frank took lots of shots and captured the day perfectly, and he was so great to work with. The video (shot and produced by his wife Larissa) is unbelievable!

We are amazed by the editing and choreography. It is a truly professional production, far, far exceeding our expectations. Thank you Frank and Larissa. You both did an awesome job!
