Aspen Colorado Wedding Photography and Videography
“Francis was amazing. He brought such a calm, kind, patient presence to our day, and was incredibly helpful in capturing the moments we wanted. The Super 8 video he created is our most treasured possession. In addition, he captured the mood, the movement, and the emotion of our wedding in a way that felt both nostalgic and cinematic.”
– Chloe & Britt

Client Testimonial
“Every single photo was chosen with purpose and love. Our wedding was a whirlwind because our original outdoor ceremony was forced inside by a rainstorm, but Francis wasn’t fazed. He seamlessly transitioned us inside and the photos were stunning. He captured every laugh, every tear…every beautiful moment of that day.
I think for us, the best part about having him as our photographer was that he put my husband and I completely at ease. We are in no way comfortable in front of the camera, but with him it was easy and so natural. He was able to capture sincere smiles and the real belly laughs throughout our day. Photos are meant to be kept as reminders, Francis’s photography has the uncanny ability to pull you back into each memory, as if reliving it another time. That is magical. That is art. That can only be done by someone that is not just a photographer, but someone who cares so deeply about his work and the people he offers his services to.”
– Kayla & Nathan
Client Testimonial
“Francis did a brilliant job photographing our 100-person wedding at a ranch in Salida, Colorado. We wanted our photos to reflect the beauty of the area, and he captured the surroundings and our desired laid-back vibe. From the beginning, he was easy to talk to, quick to respond and professional. We didn’t meet in person before our wedding, but we spoke on the phone several times and he was able to answer my questions and help me get a better idea of his work style.
I wanted everyone in photos to look and feel relaxed on our big day, and he did an excellent job capturing candid shots. He was also flexible when we changed our plans about where to photograph at the venue, and made sure that groups of people on my checklist, such as family and wedding party members, were all photographed. I’d highly recommend him!”
– Alex & Derek



Client Testimonial
“This is a review… sorry, a glowing review of our wedding photographer, Francis Sylvest. We could sense the quality and craft he would bring to our photos during our first interview with him. He gave us confidence that he would not only capture the photos we wanted, but with a quality that would marvel us many years from now. His communication and response times going forward were quick and understandable.
To say that he met our expectations, would fail to capture the praise and thanks due Francis. As we reviewed the photos from our most wonderful day, we were stunned. The scenes are expertly framed and the light and color, pristine. They are so good. And the photos are ours, forever.”and the people he offers his services to.
