For couples who want more than just a wedding. they want an experience.
Hey, Francesca here...
But you can call me Fran!
I'm a photographer, traveller, and the one behind Wild Muse Collective.
I’ve explored over 50 countries (mostly solo), chasing wide-open landscapes, secluded beaches, remote villages, and that feeling you get when you’re somewhere that makes your heart beat a little faster. I’m always up for an adventure, whether that’s hiking into the hills, swimming in alpine lakes, or learning just enough of a new language to feel a little more connected to the place I’m in.
Now I get to bring that same sense of freedom and curiosity into the way I photograph weddings and elopements.
I work with couples who want something different from the traditional big wedding experience. People who care more about being present than being perfect and who’d rather hike through the fog, get their boots muddy, and exchange vows somewhere that actually means something to them or simply just want to have their closest loved ones rather than 100+ people for the sake of it.
Photography, for me, has always been about connection. Capturing the quiet, in-between moments, truly the ones that feel most real. That’s what I’m here for.
My philosophy
Intentional. Honest. Real.
Your wedding day should feel like you: honest, relaxed, and full of meaning.
I believe the most beautiful moments are the ones that unfold naturally. My role is to guide you gently when it’s needed and to step back when the moment belongs entirely to you.
There is no pressure to perform and no rigid posing. Just real connection, captured with care. Whether you are surrounded by a small group of loved ones or it is just the two of you, I will tell your story in a way that feels effortless, full of emotion, and true to who you are.
Why Wild Muse Collective?
Every story is totally unique and so is my approach for documenting them.
At Wild Muse Collective, I understand that no two love stories are the same, and your wedding day should be just as unique. Whether you are exchanging vows in a quiet garden, a cosy family home, or somewhere deeply personal to the two of you, my approach is always tailored and rooted in your story.
There is no script and no awkward posing, only a calm and natural atmosphere where you can be fully present. I focus on the genuine moments: the quiet glances, the joyful tears, the soft pauses in between. The sweeping beauty of the day and all the small details that make it truly yours.
