Frank Donnino Photography

Throughout my years at BuySparklers.com, I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with some amazing photographers.  But I have never met a photographer like Frank Donnino from Frank Donnino Photography!  Not only is he an exceptional person, but he is an extremely talented photographer!! 

Frank really goes the extra mile because his clients REALLY matter to him. He meets with each couple and takes the time to get to know them personally.  It is important to him to discuss their goals and what they are wanting to accomplish and see in their photos on their big day.

He does not have typical, pre-set packages for you to choose from.  Frank creates packages to fit the individual needs and budget for each couple.  He also has a "No Risk, Iron Clad" Guarantee that is unlike anything I have ever heard of before.  If you are not thrilled with his photos, he will refund you in full, plus give you $100.   I have viewed Frank's work and trust me, you will not be using that guarantee! 

Here are a few incredible photos that he sent me from weddings that used sparklers.

Frank has also provided me with a tip to pass along to all brides wanting to use sparklers at their wedding:

"My greatest tip for sparkler shots is how to light the sparkler.  Most of us, including me, would think that the using a lighter to light the sparklers would be something I won't have to be concerned about.  Not true.  The first lighter I bought was a regular Bic type lighter.  Then I tried one of those long lighters used for BBQ's.  They are horrible.  The only kind of lighter that works in all situations is a torch light.  This is usually found in cigar shops.  They are butane lighters but have a "strong" blue flame that you can not only see but "hear" like a blow torch.  The flame will not be blown out during windy conditions."   -  Frank Donnino

Frank's charming, fun personality, coupled with his amazing talent of capturing exquisite photos has made him the most sought after photographer in Florida.  You can view all of his exceptional photos on his website at www.mybaldphotographer.com, his Facebook page or his blog site at www.BaldPhotoGuyBlog.com.   Be ready to be completely dazzled with his photo gallery!

Thank you Frank for sending me your breathtaking photos!  It is such a joy and pleasure to work with you!!!
