Do the videography!

We really enjoyed working with Artisan Events for our wedding. Everyone we worked with was amazing and the organization leading up to the event minimized stress. We were confident that everything would go smoothly, and it did! Photos are absolutely lovely. I was hesitant to invest in the videography package - videography is expensive and I really didn't know if it would be worth it. It definitely was! If you are debating, do it! They did an amazing job highlighting the day and piecing everything together. By the time everything is done, the whole day is a bit of a blur. The video will definitely help cherish memories forever!

So good we booked them 3 times!

Our photographer John was amazing to work with and clearly a professional when it comes to wedding photos! We also did engagement photos with him and it was a great experience. My (now) husband and I had never taken professional photos, and were slightly awkward. John put us at ease and coached us through the whole thing. The photos came out beautiful and we have never looked better! Thank you so much Artisan Events for these memories from our engagement and small covid wedding. We also booked them for our large reception this year and they were just as incredible as before. Cannot ask for more consistently beautiful photos! Loved them!

Friendly, Professional, and Organized

We found Artisan Events via a recommendation from our wedding venue and couldn’t be more pleased with the results. The office staff was friendly, flexible, professional, and responsive throughout the process. The photos were made available ahead of schedule and, most importantly, are stunning.
Our photographer, John, was everything that we’d hoped for. He managed our challenging photo shoot schedule including our last-minute location addition. He was simultaneously present and unobtrusive at the right moments from the first look through the end of our wedding reception. John managed to capture the natural interactions between us throughout the day. This was important for us because we weren’t interested in high fashion-style self-portraits. Most importantly, he was great with the gaggle of small children in our large family during the family portraits.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Artisan to anyone who is looking for beautifully done photos.
