About Frank&Rose Photography - Who We Are
Frank Villafañe
Hey, Frank here! My interest in photography started during high school with nothing more than a Kodak Insta-matic. It wasn't until 2011 when I moved up to digital (with my wife's encouragement) and started my photography business shooting primarily Archo-Industrial (Architectural/Industrial) photography primarily in New York and New Jersey. Much of my work focused on construction sites & equipment, bridges, buildings and other large structures for a diverse set of clients.
After a little more than a year, the work expanded and I asked my wife to join me. We proceeded to add a number of Real Estate clients (commercial & residential) to our roster as well as personal & corporate clients for Portraits (Headshots and GroupShots). Soon we added Events and Product photography for a number of clients to our growing portfolio.
As a photographer, I love the big picture, and frequently strive to capture everything I see in the viewfinder.
Rosemarie Rios
Hi, I'm Rosemarie! I started photography back in the 80's as an amateur with a film camera shooting mostly black and white images.
Later, I moved up to digital after I met Frank and we began shooting together in 2012. We soon had an array of clients including Rutgers University, Princeton University, AirBNB, Manitowac, The City of New Brunswick NJ, DEVCO, CBRE, Conde Nast, OLC Designs, QuickChek, YRC Trucking, NAIOP, Hub City Law Group, Island Exterior Fabricators, NJ Governor Jim Florio and many more.
As a photographer, I am all about details and almost always capture the often overlooked minutia of the unfolding scene.
Frank&Rose Photography
In New Jersey we were known as Urban View Photo, which accurately reflected the urban, industrial metropolis we once called home.
While that may have worked there, it does not accurately reflect our new home here in Saint Augustine, Florida.
That said, wherever we go, people know us as Frank & Rose, so we have chosen to rebrand simply as Frank&Rose Photography.
Our Mission remains the same - to capture Life's Moments and memorialize them forever - as encapsulated in our Mission Statement:
Capturing Life's Decisive Moments
We are active members of PPA (Professional Photographers of America) and JPPG (Jacksonville Professional Photographers Group).
CPP (Certified Professional Photographer) Certification is our current goal, as this will doubtless enable us to better serve our clientele.
We continue to be customer-focused and specialize in four primary photographic genres: Architecture, Events, Portraits & Products.
As a husband/wife team, our unique perspective combines both a love for details as well an affinity for sweeping panoramic vistas.
