Francesca Dominique

New York Photographer

As an intimate destination wedding photographer based in New York, I have an affinity of love, travel, fashion and sun-soaked days along the coast. Serving, New York, Italy and California, I am immensely grateful that my work has taken me to luxurious sights such as Florence, Siena, Malibu, The Hamptons, and more.

My goal is to create and inspire connection through art, lustful locations around the world and the documentation of your most treasured moments. Each year, I continue to refine and tailor my client experience to cultivate sincere connection with my couples. On your wedding day, it’s important that you not only feel as though you’ll receive undoubtedly gorgeous photographs, but also, that you feel supported and encouraged in your milestones. That’s the part of this job of mine that I love the most. I pride myself on having an infectious, welcoming energy that not only brings out confidence in you, but enables you to feel comfortable as if a dear friend is capturing your love.

With my work, I strive to create meaningful and effortless experiences from the planning of your engagement session to the curation of your heirloom and bespoke wedding album. My purest inspiration is found through the love that you and your fiancé share, only strengthened by the backdrop of your favourite location around the globe. By finding a balance between the gracefully editorial and playfully candid moments, I am able to showcase the essence of your most remarkable love.

Interview

IF I HAVE A FREE SUNDAY I WOULD SPEND IT… By having a nice, slow morning with my husband while we catch up over coffee, read together or take a walk around the neighbourhood. From there, we’ll usually plan a fun date day, or head up to one of our parents’ houses for a family dinner. Sundays in the summer are a true treasure to me and we love spending time by the pool and having a barbecue with our families. Finish off the day with a warm fire and some homemade s’mores and I am in heaven!

MY MOST MEMORABLE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WAS…oh, so many beautiful moments come to mind. But my favourite and most memorable travel experience happened when I was 16. My family all traveled with my grandparents to their hometown in Sicily. It’s a very small town about an hour outside of Palermo. There, they took us to the church where they got married almost 60 years prior. Being there with my parents, siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins had us all in tears. It was one of the most captivating experiences to see all that my grandparents created after they got married in that church and a memory I treasure forever.

THE COUNTRY I MOST WANT TO VISIT IS…Greece.

WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT MY JOB IS…inspiring enriching connections with couples and capturing beautiful imagery for them. I love creating lustrous and luxurious experiences for my couples so that they’re able to celebrate themselves from the time of their engagement to their wedding day and beyond. That, and forming friendships with so many other talented vendors around the world is so humbling and exciting! 

IF I COULD GIVE NEWLY ENGAGED COUPLES ONE PIECE OF ADVICE IT WOULD BE… Soak it in! It is such a short and precious time of our lives when we’re engaged. Consider every step in your wedding planning to be a celebration and every milestone one that is preparing you for something even sweeter - marriage and a lifetime with the love of your life!

I LOVE WHERE I LIVE BECAUSE… New York is rich in culture, art and a variety of landscapes. From the skyscrapers of New York City to the serene beaches of Montauk and the Hamptons and even the mountains of the Hudson Valley, there is so much to do and see. It is also the perfect place to travel from. Being so centrally located makes it easy to travel to California or Europe relatively easily.

IF I COULD LIVE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD IT WOULD BE… My traveling heart is urging me to say Paris or at a small villa in Tuscany. But I love living so close to my family and I know I’ll always come back home to New York.

MY FAVOURITE MOVIE IS? Oh, I have so many I love! And with the risk of sounding too ironic, The Wedding Date with Dermot Mulroney and Debra Messing is one of those feel-good movies I always turn to!
