I'm here for the hugs and loves, the ugly crying, the full body laughter and the party. I believe in making photographs that feel true to the spirit of your wedding day. Forget the shot lists and itineraries – my focus is on capturing the moments that matter most, the ones that shape your memories to look back on in 50 years and more.
Frank Vilsack is a documentary Style photographer based in Pennsylvania serving couples around the world.
What You Can Expect
I work like a guest, mingling with your friends and family, capturing spontaneous moments that reflect the joy and warmth of your special day. My approach is unobtrusive, ensuring that your wedding flows organically without any disruptions. I aim to capture the imperfect perfection of real emotions, creating photographs that truly represent your wedding day.
My goal with photography is to give people truthful and meaningful memories to look back on and feel the good old days again.

"If you are lucky enough to have found Frank as an option for your photographer, take this as your sign to book him immediately!! He did my engagement photos in Pittsburgh and my destination wedding in Hawaii. He is AMAZING and so talented! I can't get enough of his work. He pays attention to detail, listens to what you want and has an amazing eye. I have never seen someone have the ability to capture so many moments and emotions via photo. It is so great to be able to relive the day through his work. And don't get me started on how amazing his wife Colleen is. She will capture additional moments, ie, Frank was doing my first dance and his wife captured my mom's reaction, truly so special. Bonus, they are amazing people and so sweet and love what they do. Colleen felt like an added friend during those moments leading up to my ceremony and I can't thank her enough."

"Run, don't walk
Frank was amazing to work with. We found him through our wedding planner and it was very easy booking process. We booked him for both engagement pictures and for our wedding day. He is very organized and we had multiple conversations about exactly what we wanted captured of our day. His wife Colleen was his second shooter on our wedding day, and she was one of the sweetest people we have ever met - she saved the day more than once by carrying my veil so it wouldn’t get snagged on the ground. Frank is also incredibly creative and has an eye for what might seem like an “out there” shot, and then always comes back looking absolutely amazing. We loved his vibrant and dramatic photo style; he made taking pictures fun and easy. He and Colleen are extremely kind and patient, and took all of the stress out of our day. Frank is the best!
and immediately made us feel as ease"
"He was very professional and down to earth
because that is how absolutely incredible Frank is. He did our engagement and wedding photos (08.12.2023) and was just absolutely amazing to work with. He is so personable and professional, and made my husband and I feel so comfortable. And he is SO talented, our photos are so beautiful and I can't stop looking at them. STUNNING and everything I hoped they would be. Just 10,000/10. Again I cannot recommend him enough."
