Frank is such a talented photographer. I have worked with Frank on many many weddings for almost 3 decades. He is a well seasoned photographer that's always keeping up with the new styles of photography. He's a 10 out of 10. read more

I think a previous review put it best when they said Frank was a Master Artist. I called on Frank for a pretty difficult assignment: a senior photo for a yearbook picture. Sounds easy enough. Cut to my kiddo who is a fantasy writer, in the Creative Writing Conservatory at Orange County School of the Arts. Not the usual kid, not the usual school, and a usual photographer was not going to do. I looked and looked for a photographer who could handle alternative imagery (I don't know how else to put it). Not to mention, my child is also autistic and shy and does NOT like photos taken, so that was going to be a hurdle as well. Another photographer, who's opinions I respect, recommended Frank for the job. He kindly took us on with very short notice as the deadline was rapidly approaching. We had the BEST time at the session! He made my child extremely comfortable with his warm personality. And he knew exactly the "feel" we wanted for the photos. His wife was also there to help and she was so kind to us. The whole experience was enjoyable. And the photos! They were incredible, and really captured my quirky kid's passion. We are blown away at how good they turned out. I would recommend Frank to anyone and don't hesitate to ask him for the unusual. He's extremely good at understanding your needs. I'm already thinking about senior prom pics! read more

Frank Salas Photography - Event Photography Near Me

In 2014 I hired Frank for our son's Eagle Court of Honor Boy Scout Ceremony and he knocked it out of the park. Frank is one of the most talented photographers I've known. He has an eye for his subject while artistically being conscious of lightning, and other variables and attributes to enhance that moment being captured. His work is remarkable. I recently asked him to fit me in his schedule and if he'd be able to do some headshots for me. I was grateful when he said yes. If you need a photographer for ANY type of work, be it real estate, wedding, ceremony or family portraits, Frank is your man! I'll be asking him to do some shots of my daughter for her 13th birthday. Some of her doing ballet, and others of her doing outdoor poses for her social media. Thought this would be a fun gift for her. I've known Frank since 2013 and he is my go-to guy for any professional photography needs I have. read more

It was such a pleasure to have Frank as our wedding photographer. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he's an amazing person. He has a 1000 watt smile that is truly infectious, his energy in unmatched, and he has warm, genuine and fun personality that brings out the best in everyone. He was there from the beginning, when we getting ready for the wedding, until the end, when we dancing our last dances. His great attitude never wavered through it all. We now have almost 1000 photos to choose from, and they are all priceless. There are gorgeous shots of the wedding party and the church, and fun and candid shots of guests socializing and dancing. I could not recommend Frank enough. read more

Frank is incredible! My fiance had him photograph our engagement (I had no idea he was there when it was happening) and then surprised me with an engagement photoshoot afterwards! Frank got the most amazing photos of the proposal (including DRONE photos with the Laguna Beach coastline) and then knew exactly how to pose us for amazing photos. He was so nice and fun to work with and I wish we lived in California so he could do our wedding! Seriously considering doing a destination wedding for that exact reason! read more

Frank Salas Photography - Frank captured the perfect ending to our beach ceremony!! - Event Photography Near Me

First, I'd like to start by saying Frank Salas made my wedding day unforgettable! He has such a passion for what he does and it shows in how he interacts with everyone! He's not only professional, he's highly knowledgeable in what he does and he made sure everything was covered so as the bride I didn't have to think about a thing...other than to just smile! I would recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding photographer!! Thank you again for everything Frank! read more

Frank Salas... great guy. The kind of guy who will have a Corona with you at your wedding reception. He's expensive, but the man has skills. He does contemporary, traditional and journalistic style photography. He is progressively getting more and more expensive as the years go on so act ASAP before his rates go up again. I got married in 2005 and I know his prices have since gone up quite a bit. read more

Professional and personable. He's in a league of his own when it comes to these two qualities. Frank will make you feel comfortable and will bring out the best in you. As a Master of Photography, he is actually certified by the PPA as a true professional in his field--something that is pretty rare. More importantly, ask his clients and you will be impressed by the ubiquitous praise. We had a couple of portrait sessions with Frank. What an experience! Frank got some incredible shots of our feisty little 3 year old along with a timeless portrait of our whole family. The images we got are just priceless. Many people spend money on many frivolous things in life yet skimp out on more important things that will last a lifetime. Don't make that mistake! Frank's work is worth every penny and more. read more

Frank was the photographer at our Oct 24, 2009 wedding at The St Regis Monarch Beach. We had a total of 30 people at our wedding so you would think, having a photographer AND an assistant (Britney ) would be a little over-whelming, right? WRONG! What we appreciated most, besides his tremendous skills as a master photographer - was: 1. His unpretentious, down to earth personality and 2. His ability to blend right in - they were practically invisible during the ceremony and reception. It was very important for our guests to feel comfortable during our event. I can't tell you how many people said to us when looking at the pictures - "He was there?", "How did they get that shot?", " I didn't notice him there!", etc. Everyone was very comfortable with him, no attitude, no drama. Thank you Frank and Britney! We are looking forward to pulling our album together! read more

Our wedding was such an incredibly important moment and beautiful day in our lives, so we feel blessed to have worked with Frank. Worth every penny. We were so satisfied with our experience with Frank for a number of reasons including the following: (1) Frank's photographs are amazing. Just beautiful. We had the opportunity to have him shoot our engagement session at Irvine Regional Park before the wedding. Our photos came out so much better than we could have imagined - we almost didn't recognize ourselves or the park! We looked professional and he helped us get comfortable being the subject of the photos, with suggestions for posing to position us to look our best (and not look awkward :)). He has already sent a few photographs from the wedding - they're beautiful! We are so excited to see the rest! (2) He is experienced. Throughout the entire process, Frank was professional, organized and responsive. We had never been married and weren't sure what photographs we would want. Frank took good care of us. We got married on July 26, 2014 at the Mission Basilica, and the reception was held at Rancho Las Lomas. Frank had previously worked at both locations and knew where we could take photographs to make the most of our gorgeous locations. He had also confirmed with us the pictures we most wanted to ensure we had. Best part, he remembered and followed through with getting those photos. For example (just one of many), I wanted to make sure that my sisters were closest to me in our group photos. On the day of the wedding, we were taking group photos at the Mission with the bridal party and we were all out of order, with my sisters on the outsides of the group. Before Frank started with the photos, he paused, looked at everyone, and put my sisters to stand next to me. Such a small thing, I couldn't believe he remembered; I was so thankful. (3) He is so very likeable - our guests loved him and so did we. Frank is a genuinely nice guy. He was professional but has a wonderful and warm demeanor. He had a sense of humor and smile (honestly) the whole (very long) day. He was at my parents' house at 10:00 a.m. as we got ready for our Noon ceremony, and left our reception around 11:00 p.m. It is unbelievable that any person could be so on his/her game for that long a period of time, and he was. We were so beat at the end of the day and Frank was still there, asking us if there were any other pictures we wanted. In short, Frank exceeded all our expectations and we couldn't be happier that we decided to work with him. He will be our family photographer from now on! Thank you again, Frank! read more

Frank Salas is the most wonderful easy to work with and masterful photographer. We wouldn't hesitate to refer him to anyone. His work is phenomenal. We know as he has now photographed 2 daughters weddings in the past 2 years! And the venues still use our photos as advertisement for their facilities. Frank is on time reliable and creative. Love love love!!! The Anter Family read more

Frank's is an amazing photographer! He did both our engagement and wedding photos. All were wonderful and perfect pictures. He is truly gifted in photography. He captured all the details of the event, the story, the emotions, the people, the flowers, the food, everything! We really enjoyed working with him. He has a great personality and made us feel really comfortable and natural during the photoshoot. We love looking at our albums and we get so many compliments from others on how well it was done. The quality of his work is superb! The memories he captured was priceless. We are blessed by his work. Thank you Frank! read more

Frank Salas, a seasoned professional, did a great job taking our photos for both our engagement and our wedding. Great guy. Highly skilled at managing a large crowd. Only wish was for better JPG files - his web site looks amazing and we wished our photos had a little better editing, better lighting and "pop". Also wish he had taken more shots during wedding - too few shots during key moments - should've shot on high speed mode (several shots/min.) to get the perfect angle when people are moving, talking, etc. Shouldn't have to pay $$$ and then get photos that look "off". read more

Truly a Master of Photography! Frank did an amazing job capturing our wedding day and I would highly recommend him if you are in search of a seasoned professional photographer. We have gorgeous photos to share and keep forever! read more

Frank Salas is truly amazing! If you are looking for a basic photographer for your wedding or special event, keep looking. If you are looking for someone who is not only exceptional at what he does, but makes everyone around him better, there is no need to look any further. Frank photographed my wedding back in November 2018, but to say that's all he did would be to sell Frank short. First, he is a brilliant photographer and we knew the moment we met with him, he was the one for us. Frank has a quiet confidence that immediately put us at ease. He met with us at the wedding venue, listened to us, made insightful and creative suggestions, added his own creativity, and we could not be happier with the results. Hey, he made me look good and that's not easy! More than the beautiful pictures, Frank's professionalism and attention to detail enabled him to work seamlessly with all the other vendors to make the night magical. I can honestly say, that without Frank and his ability/willingness to work with the other vendors and us, the night would not have progressed as flawlessly as it did. Frank is a brilliant photographer, a good man, and you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't call him. read more

Worth every penny! Great photos and great person to be around on your wedding day. Loved him!

I cannot rave enough about Frank Salas Photography; he photographed our 7/14/2012 wedding at Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club. Frank and his staff are incredible and his work is jaw dropping. His unedited pictures blow away other photographers' edited pictures. Our experience with him has been excellent and he is truly a class act in the level of customer service he and his staff provide. When we first saw his work, we wanted to hire him but worried he would be out of reach given our budget. After getting quotes from other decent and good photographers through email, we met with Frank. He spent an hour and half with us, showed us examples of his work at our venue, and got to know us. As soon as we walked out of his office, we were sold. We knew the price could not be beat and that working with him would make our day so much easier and that he would relieve typical wedding day stress. We did an engagement session and Frank did a fantastic job of getting us comfortable in front of the camera. We loved our engagement pictures and sign in book. Before the wedding day, we met with Frank and went over the day of timeline. The day of the wedding, Frank and his assistant arrived promptly and took care of everything so that we could just enjoy the day. Frank knew all the best spots for pictures. Frank took time in setting up shots in order to capture them perfectly and did that throughout the day for the posed pictures; his expertise in capturing action shots was apparent. When he showed us a few, we loved how he worked with lighting in capturing some gorgeous shots. Though it was the busy season, we received our proofs about 6 weeks later and love them; it will be really hard to choose the ones for the photo book! We received numerous compliments from friends and family on the pictures. Frank and his staff are very responsive and professional; we highly recommend booking him for your wedding! read more

I got married back in 2009 and used Frank for our wedding and engagement pictures. I am new to yelp, so I decided to write a review because he totally deserves it. He is the BEST photographer you could ever hire. He took the time to take quality photos and gave us more pictures than we could have ever imagined to choose from. For the engagement session, he took tons of pictures and chose different unique areas to shoot at, so we had a wide variety of backgrounds. I did not feel rushed and was really impressed with the guest book he created. The day of the wedding, he was funny and kept my wedding party (and family) in check when trying to get through all the photos. We had some issues with some of the family that showed up and was a great comic relief to me, the groom and the maid of honor. He is the best photographer and one day when we have a family, we will definitely have his shoot our family photos! I honestly cannot say enough good things about him! read more
