Stacey did a great job with not only our engagement photos but also our wedding photos. They were beyond beautiful. Stacey was very flexible when doing our engagement photos. My now husband had a work scheduling change and Stacey was more than willing to change when we were going to do our session. We get the greatest compliments on how great our pictures were and how professional he and his assistant were at the wedding. He went the week before the wedding to look at the venue to get ideas on where he wanted to take some photos. Can't wait to use him again for other big events in our lives!

Within the past 3 years - Stacey Artis has been involved with 7 weddings I have been a part of. Last year, I contacted him to meet and view his work; he was one of five interviewed. The quality of his studio, creative pictures, and his kind personality did it for me. I must also admit, I'm pretty price conscience.
Yesterday, Jack and I met with the Stacey and staff to review our pictures and wedding album. This is the reason I decided to post on Wedding Wire, quietly and professionally they captured our day perfectly. I now understand why I've seen this business so many times within the past 3 years. My pictures are unique and beautiful. My family will use his service for all important pictures.

A couple of years ago Stacey photographed my sisters, my Mom and I. I was very pleased with the pictures. He provided black & white as well as color shots and they were outstanding. He was very professional and he took the time to make sure the shots were perfect. In fact when we arrived at his studio, all of the power was out on his block. We made arrangements to come back another day. The lights were still out so he took us to another location to shoot the pictures. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Every other review here seems to wrap up everything that I feel for Artis Photographers. They are absolutely wonderful!!!!! We could not have been happier! I'm sorry for the one poor review on here, but believe me, it must have been a fluke that day. Stacey is great and friendly and really lives to make his customers happy. He truly loves what he does and it shows in his work. Also, his other photographers are just as wonderful! He sent Wesley to do our photos and they are amazing. I definately would recommend him to everyone!

My husband and I just got married 7/18/10. I would just have to say that Stacey is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. He was recommended to me from a highschool friend, who used him as well. I would have to say that when I met Stacey all tho his work was impressive it more of his personality that one us over. There was no doubt in our minds that we wanted him to be our photographer, so we agreed as long as he would be our photographer. And I have to say Stacey was there throughout the whole thing!!!! We were highly impressed with how our engament photos turned out. We got many compliments from family and friends! Our wedding pictures turned out just as awesome and it was so great to have a pic of me or my husband with everyone of my guest ( I wasn't even aware that all these moments were being captured and they turned out so genuine!) I would have to say that the most awesome thing was our wedding invitations. We decided to use some of our engagement photos and Stacey was more than willing to complete the vision that we wanted. I have to say this man worked overtime and would not quite until we were more than happy!!!! Once those invites got sent out I kept getting numerous calls because they had to know where we got them made. So needless to say I have recommended Stacey to everyone I know!!! I also have to throw in that he did my cousin's senior pictures and he had her looking like america's next top model..they were absolutely gorgeous. Our whole family will be using Stacey from now on!!!

WOW!! Just an awesome Photographer! I LOVED my pictures! Stacey was very easy to work with and very flexible! Just the best quality for the money! He managed to fit into our budget and took amazing pictures! Made me feel like a queen for a day! I would absolutely recommend Artis Photographers to anybody! They stayed with us our whole wedding day and took amazing photos! We get compliments on them all the time! I give them an A++++++!

I hated reading one of the above reviews, and actually considered using another photographer for my wedding. Thank goodness I was talked out of it! Stacey was not able to be the photographer at my wedding either, but he did send EXCELLENT representation. She was well dressed, poised and professional. Stacey did show up for the reception and took more wonderful pictures. I have seen all of my friends wedding photos, and I know (and they know) there is no comparison and I spent a fraction of what they spent. Everyone I know now uses Artis Photographers. I am sorry to read about that one experience here, but it makes me wonder if it's not either exaggerated or just one sad incident out of hundreds. I thank you Stacey Artist and I will recommend you to everyone I know that needs a photographer for anything!

I definitely recommend them. Stacy is the owner and he actually was at another event that night but came to our wedding because there was a perfect sunset and he wanted to capture it in our pictures. I thought our photographers were wonderful and thanks to them we have some amazing pictures to tell the story of our very special day.

Stacy Artis (owner) is a fabulous photographer. His pictures came out wonderful. He met with me multiple times to review the photos I wanted and was always very prompt on returning phone calls. The only complaint I had was the the photographer who came to do the wedding and reception shots had a black speck on her lense that showed up in every photo she took. Luckily Stacy caught most of them in his editing and removed the spots. But I can imagine how awsoome some of the shots would have been if the best man didn't have a black spot on his head, etc. They are quick to produce your proofs book (less than 2 weeks). Would definately use them again for other major life events.

Although it has been almost a year since my wedding, I have decided to provide this review because I am still upset with the service and quality of photos and want others to avoid this company.

1. In planning this wedding, I used many checklists provided by various websites. On the photographer checklist one of the first questions to ask your photographer was whether or not they would be the actual photographer for your wedding. I specifically asked Stacey Artis on three occasions if he would be the photographer shooting my wedding. In all of the following cases, his response was an unequivocal yes.

First YES: On our initial meeting with my parents and my fiance as we reviewed his work and booked him for the date. Question was asked in front of all present and they all remember him saying that he would be primary photographer and would bring an assistant.

Second YES: At our engagement shoot - question was asked in front of my fiance who remembers the conversation.

Third YES: On the phone 1 week prior to the wedding, as I was confirming details for all vendors. I again asked if he would be shooting the wedding and he responded yes.

**STACEY ARTIS DID NOT SHOW UP TO PHOTOGRAPH MY WEDDING**

2. On the day of the wedding, Stacey did not show up. Instead, two of his assistant photographers arrived. Because I was deadset on having a wonderful day, I did not ask where Stacey was because we were pressed for time and it was a hectic day and I did not want to be upset about anything. I trusted that the two photographers he sent would provide professional service. I was wrong. The photographer that was sent to shoot the girls was wearing a white blouse unbuttoned well below her cleavage and a short black skirt. Her attire was far from professional, it was more a "clubbing" outfit geared to picking up men. And trust me, the men noticed. It crossed my mind to say something but I didn't figure that she had an additional change of appropriate clothing in her car so I just went with it. My mother and guests were dumbfounded that I wouldn't say anything - but again I didn't want to get upset. It wasn't like I could put the wedding on hold while we waited for Stacey to answer his cell phone.

3. In addition to the inappropriate clothing, that photographer took several photographs of my nieces by themselves and offered my sister-in-law a business card for photography services - WHILE SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SHOOTING MY WEDDING. Some of the shots of my nieces that were taken were not included in the proofs. We still have no explanation of where those photos are and why they were not provided to us.

4. The photographer sent to shoot the guys was horrible. The pictures were embarrassing - I could have lined them up in a straight line and made sure that no one was looking at the camera and taken a picture. I'm not saying that the guys are photogenic but I'm sure another photographer could have at least gotten a few shots of them all looking at the camera at one time AND maybe done a little artistic photography by placing them in something other than a straight line.



My wedding pictures were nothing like the albums of Stacey's work that I was presented during our initial meeting. Even a year later, I am still furious at the deception of Stacey Artis and would never recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.
