Photos by Francesca

Francesca is an award-winning photographer based in Nelson, New Zealand, focusing on a documentary-style approach to capture the genuine emotions of life’s “wow moments.” She is an adventurous Brit who fell in love with a Kiwi and the beautiful city of Nelson. Her love for photography began at age 10 with a pink Barbie Polaroid, and it has evolved into a career centered on capturing people rather than landscapes. Francesca’s motto is “Real life, captured beautifully,” and she is passionate about making photo sessions fun and comfortable. She works with clients on weddings, family portraits, commercial content, and empowerment photography, telling all kinds of stories in a unique way. She believes her ability to put clients at ease and make them laugh is what sets her apart, as she aims to capture how you felt in the moment, not just what you looked like. Client testimonials consistently highlight her friendly, easy-going nature and her talent for capturing beautiful, natural images that perfectly reflect the day’s events.
