Francesco Spighi Photography

I literally can’t say enough about Francesco’s expertise and professionalism throughout our entire experience. I had a few complicated requests ( I was aiming to get surprise proposal photos in front of the duomo at the peak of dawn without my significant other noticing.) Francesco was very accommodating with my requests, and provided candid advice as to how to best plan and coordinate based on what I wanted.During the shoot, Francesco did an amazing job at helping us feel comfortable and guiding us, while still providing us our own liberty and space to make it our own. It took me a while to loosen up, but a few jokes later and it all felt natural.Now, on to the photos. Absolutely stunning. We received over 275 fully edited and impeccable photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. The lighting, the locations, and the captured moments by Francesco were beyond what we could ever ask for. I can’t thank you enough Fra and would 10/10 recommend this for anyone looking for any kind of photographs in Florence!

Bravissimo

Finding a good photographer to capture an event as important as our wedding, was on the top of our list. We got lucky because Francesco was not good – he was excellent. My husband and I were initially impressed with his online portfolio. After a virtual meeting, we knew he was the photographer we were looking for. Francesco (and his second hand, Lorenzo) captured our wedding day from start to end. Every little detail and moment were made special with his sharp eye and quick feet. Francesco was professional, creative, and fun. He knew what to say at what time and guided us into beautiful poses while also allowing us to be ourselves. Not only did Francesco capture our wedding day, he also agreed to spend time with us the day after, for a fun shoot. Both experiences were remarkable, and the final product shows it. Because of him, we have such a special, intimate, and elegant gallery of photos to cherish forever. Francesco is a talented wedding photographer, and we could not recommend him enough!

Francesco was supposed to be my husband and I's wedding photographer in April 2020. Unfortunately, due to cover we had to cancel our wedding in Florence and get married at home in California. Francesco was very gracious about the situation and told us to let him know when we were back in Florence or if we decided to reschedule the wedding. We were lucky enough to return to Florence this month and do a maternity shoot with Francesco, and he was wonderful!We said we wanted to walk around Florence and shoot at all the major sites in the city. Francesco led us to the best places for scenery and light. He gave us enough direction so we knew what to do (we are not big photo takers), he made us feel comfortable and got great shots of us looking natural and in the moment. After just two hours with him we got back over 100 edited photos. We were shocked with how many photos we got and how many we loved.I would highly recommend Francesco for any event or occasion that you need a photographer. I still wish that we got to have him as our wedding photographer because he would have be fantastic!

Francesco and Lorenzo were fantastic photographers at our two-day wedding event at Lake Como. They captured formal moments, casual moments, and everything in between. They also helped us at every turn with posing, tying ties, and reassuring us that even if it rained (which it did briefly) the photos would be even more dramatic and beautiful. As our wedding took place late April at the beginning of the season, we also got our pictures back at lightning speed in less than a month! There are so many photos, such an extensive collection of lovely memories that my husband and I will cherish for years to come. We have already ordered framed photos and will be ordering art albums as well (my draft currently has the max 96 pages).

Francesco was absolutely incredible to work with! He photographed our intimate and special engagement to perfection! We could not be more in love with the photos Francesco took (see below). Not only is Francesco so kind and warm but he made us feel so comfortable during our photoshoot. He also got us our photos back within hours! 10/10 would recommend working with Francesco!

We have nothing but good things to say about our time spent with Fra. The first moment we met him, we could tell that we were going to have a good time and his personality made the wedding day jitters disappear. He captured some amazing moments on our special day and we couldn't be happier with the results. We traversed the streets of Florence with him as our guide, stopping for poses where he suggested and let him work his magic. He leaves the poses up to his clients - he does very little formal set ups" and wants you to interact with each other to make the moments special and unique. His play on light and shadow is fabulous - and he definitely takes advantage of both when the opportunity strikes. We could go on and on but that would get boring. We hope to use him again in the future - for anniversary pictures

Fra is the absolute best! I reached out to a few photographers for my Florence trip to help me with my proposal for my beautiful, now, finance and I cannot imagine crushing this fantastic moment with anyone else.Fra said everything I wanted to hear in his first response and went of his way to supply even more information. I instantly knew this was my guy.When I officially met Fra face to face it was literally only minutes before the surprise occurred and it went flawlessly. He was very communicative through email to get the ball rolling and once I was in Italy, we switched over to WhatsApp, which was great.We are over the moon on how well the photos came out and we could not be happier to have met such a great professional.

Francesco è stato spettacolare. E' riuscito a cogliere tutti i momenti più emozionanti del nostro matrimonio. Non è stato solo il fotografo, ma anche un amico ed un perfetto aiutante (mi ha tolto lui il velo dopo la cerimonia!).. Le sue foto rispecchiano il suo animo: unico e speciale! Grazie Fra, senza di te non sarebbe stato lo stesso!

We were told that there is one thing you want to get right for your wedding day and that is your choice of photographer and Fra was the absolute best choice we made. He captured everything and most of the time you had no idea he was even there. We wanted a photographer who would not only capture the formal moments, but the natural candid moments too and the results were above and beyond what we expected. He took the time to get the little details and capture memories that otherwise may have been forgotten. Not only that, but he put us at ease throughout the day, keeping us relaxed and smiling even when the rain decided to threaten the day. We only have good things to say about Fra and you will absolutely not regret having him as your photographer!
