Amanda Sent on 06/21/2024amazing wedding photographer
Francis from Formicastudios.com took amazing and beautiful pictures of our wedding. he took his time, and got every angle and he was very particular. he used multiple cameras, and used a Drone to capture every angle. the pictures and Video are absolutely stunning.
when my Husband and I shopped around for a Photographer we came across Francis from formicastudios.com he offered pictures and video at a very reasonable rate, he was wonderful to work with, he listened to all of our requests and made great suggestions of his own.
We wanted the best photographer out there to capture our special day perfectly, and that is exactly what we got with Francis from formicastudios.com -

My husband and are blessed to have Frank/F.A. Formica as our wedding photographer. I am so glad I found him online while searching for a photographer. He was outstanding! He had great suggestions and ideas on how we could make our wedding day even more memorable...things like First Look, having pictures at a nearby lovely place, suggesting a video which I didn't want to do first, but so glad we did, etc. I also believe his fees are reasonable. We want great memories but we don't want to sell our house just to pay for pictures! Our wedding pictures turned out great and the wedding video was so beautiful and both captured what we wanted to be captured. Frank (& Connor the videographer) were also pleasant, responsible, energetic person/s to work with....highly recommended! THANK YOU SO MUCH! -

Katherine Sent on 11/15/2023AMAZING "After wedding" photo session!!!
FABULOUS from start to finish...we hired Frank to photograph our daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner initially (and the photos were AMAZING) and subsequently for an "after wedding" photo session, as it rained on her wedding day, making outdoor photos in the gardens and many other areas of the venue not happen. Two photographers came and really took their time - not only were they full of great pose ideas, they made the session so much fun...and captured the bride and groom in stunning photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Frank could not have been more thoughtful, helpful, or easier to keep in contact with all along the way. He even went to the venue ahead... -

I can't say enough good things about Frank Formica and his assistant Glenn Miller. They were professional, thorough, caring, thoughtful, funny, and personable with us and all of our guests. It is clear that Frank has decades of experience in his field and takes pride in his work. The dialogue between the two of them was witty and entertaining, and one could tell they had a great working relationship and functioned seamlessly as a team. My husband and I are tickled pink about our photos and video, and they exceeded our expectations. We highly, happily, and unquestionably recommend Frank Formica and his team. -

Simple, elegant, joyful and loving…This was our vision for our wedding and F.A. Formica nailed it perfectly! The process of working with Formica was seamless and pleasant. Special attention was paid to the slightest of details and specific moments we wanted to capture. Still, Formica had the expertise to captured other beautiful moments we never even imagined. It was a joy to work with Frank and his team as they photographed and filmed the best day of our life!!!Photos by F.A. Formica's reply:
Thank you so much. I will never forget the love that you have for Edward, and the words that Edward spoke to you during the first look should always be in your heart. Frank -

Lara Sent on 10/31/2022Frank is the BEST wedding photographer!
Frank and Glenn were spectacular wedding photographers. They captured our wedding day perfectly and made the most of all the time we had at each photo location. Frank called me several times before our wedding to plan out our photos, and answered every question I had quickly and thoroughly. Frank and Glenn are professional and made taking our photos so much fun. To complete the perfect experience, Frank got us the photos and video in less than a week after our wedding day. I know friends who have waited weeks to receive their photos. Being able to share our photos so soon after our day was so special. I would hire Frank and Glenn for every event I would want to remember. A huge, sincere thank you!! -

Frank captured memories we will cherish our life time. In his pictures, one can feel the emotion of the precious moments. He is an artist, and puts insight and caring into each photo. His charisma also added an element to the wedding, making memories in taking the photos themselves. He is as much a gift as his photos.Photos by F.A. Formica's reply:
Thank you so much as I will never forget the love that you and Mike share for each other. Sincerely, Frank -

The Best Ever Photographer in the area!!
We were planning the wedding at the short notice and honestly didn’t expect to find such a quality photography studio in the area for a wonderful price range! When we got to Francis’ studio surrounded by number of magical wedding pictures, we had no doubt that’s the studio we want our wedding to be pictured by! Extremely knowledgeable and accommodating, Frank and Glenn led us to the perfect postures that looked naturally on photos that are going to last for years to come! Will definitely recommend their team to anyone who is looking for truly devoted photographers for their wedding! Couldn’t imagine our first look and ceremony pictures to be even better, so grateful for Frank and Glenn! -

We absolutely loved Francis & his team! They were wonderful & made sure to capture every precious moment. We would definitely use his team again if we needed a photographer again. They made sure to be patient with the children as well. Taking pictures of toddlers is definitely a challenge but they made sure to do it with a smile! 10/10!!Photos by F.A. Formica's reply:

If you're a USNA alum getting married at the chapel, or anyone in the area who needs a top pro photographer for your family's special event, you MUST go with Frank Formica! My wife Lara and I cannot say enough good things about the amazing pictures he took of our wedding (and video). Frank and his team are the best and they're incredibly fun to work with!

Frank Formica was an excellent wedding photographer for my April 2021 wedding! I can’t recommend him enough! The pictures were absolutely beautiful! He captured every aspect and emotion of the day! He got every picture that I asked for. He chose the perfect area of the vineyard for the outside ceremony. He has an eye for what looks great in pictures! Amy -

Frank and his assistant were great! We couldn't be happier with my daughters wedding pictures and the care they both took to capture the day. Frank went out of his way to make sure the pictures and paintings he did that we ordered were perfect. My daughter and I were very happy and would highly recommend Formica Studios! -

Heather Sent on 05/12/2021Making it Personal ⭐️
Formica was the photographer we chose for our Annapolis wedding this past April. He also did our engagement shoot, which he somehow convinced my husband into (he doesn’t do pictures). Frank was a delight to work with. He is punctual, flexible in terms of scheduling, accommodating, warm and friendly. His prices were also in-line with other market competitors in the area.
Being around Frank calmed my anxious bride jitters. We are very pleased with the results of our wedding photos and the quality of time he put into our wedding video. The entire package exudes, class, elegance and sophistication, just as we wanted. -

Molly Sent on 11/09/2020Incredible wedding photographer!
Frank and his team did an incredible job shooting our wedding. Due to COVID we had so many last minute changes and Frank was so quick to adapt and be as helpful as he could possibly be during these challenging times. He was so incredibly professional and took the most beautiful pictures for my husband and I to enjoy forever. I highly recommend Frank's services for your wedding or any other event that you want photographed. He will go above and beyond to make your dreams come true and take pictures of exactly what you ask him to and more. I believe his pricing was more than reasonable especially compared to a lot of other Annapolis photographers and his packages include so much for a great price and value. 10/10!!!!! -

Ariana Sent on 09/26/2019VERY happy couple
I’m not sure if I have enough space to type all the wonderful things I could say about Frank and his partner, Glenn. Frank is one of a kind to work with and helps you feel very comfortable in front of the camera. HE WILL MAKE YOU LOOK AMAZING and better yet, he will make you FEEL like a star. He knows how to capture the best moments and show case your best assets. On your wedding day or any other precious moment in your life you do not need any more stress then what you can not prevent... however, you can prevent from having a terrible photographer so hire a good one, but if you want an EXCELLENT photographer then you hire Frank!! 100000000 stars!!! ♥️♥️♥️ -

Jessica Sent on 05/22/2019Naval Academy Wedding
Frank and Glenn are amazing! My original photographer fell through less than 2 months before the wedding and I emailed Frank in the evening in a near panic attack and Frank came to the rescue (within like 10 minutes). I learned of Frank through the Naval Academy because he is an approved vendor (which worked extremely well in my favor), he was so calm on the phone and went right into details about the "perfect" photo ops at the Naval Academy Chapel (which my original photographer knew none!) and then shared stories of his family and I really felt like I had a new friend once I got off the phone. We continued to follow-up via email and phone,... -

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... -

Kim Sent on 08/17/2010Frank 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... -

Christina Sent on 10/05/2009I 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...
