I had Artisan Events shoot my engagement photos and wedding.  They did an excellent job!  They took a wide variety of phots, and I enjoyed their documentary style much more than the typical portrait style of other photographers.  Tim was my photographer, and not only did he produce an excellent product-but he was nice to work with, kind and energetic-which was great on my wedding day!  He ended up shooting some impromptu BEAUTIFUL shots at the end of the reception of us, he had original ideas that ended up being priceless.

Tina has been very helpful to me picking out pictures, albums, frames, holiday cards, etc even though I've been unforgiveably undecisive!

They recently moved into a new space near North/Clybourn, I highly recommend them.

I employed Artisan about three years ago to do some still photography for my web site.  She and her partner Tod Szewczyk we simply amazing.  They handled an office staff of 19, guiding each member through the litany of head shots, group shots and more.  On top of the exquisite work, they were simply a pleasure to work with.  The shoot took almost 5 hours in incredible heat and we received nothing but patient direction and professional work.  Since the shoot, I have worked with Tina and Lindsey to manage the production work and coordinate with advertisers and web-site developers.  Again, nothing but exceptional, professional work and successful outcomes.  

Artisan and Amanda have been singled out by national publications...but more importantly, by each and almost every client that has worked with them.  Check them out.  They rock.

We met with Allison from Artisan.  Her work is amazing... We ended up picking Pen Carlson Photography, but Artisan was in the top 2... I would recommend looking at her work for your wedding photography.

The only con: she seems more expensive than other photographers.. but to be fair, she does have a lot of experience!  She is definitely a pro. You know that if you hire her, you will get great shots.

This place is a class act.  If you are looking for photo journalism styled wedding photography or baby portraits definitely check out Artisan Events.  Amanda, the owner, has set the bar very high.  The album styles range from actual bound books to more traditional albums to  mini, purse-sized brag books.  She has a lot of great photographers working for her which offers some variation in style and price levels.  A friend of mine hired Amanda to shoot her wedding, she had 2 additional assistants capturing the event making sure not to miss a thing.  If your not looking for a photographer she has a boutique that sells beautiful albums, stationary, frames and framing.  Pricing is on the high end but you get what you pay for and in this case you get extraordinary photography and album design.   http://artisanevents.com/

Amanda, Suzanne, Kristy, and Yatzik-Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!  Where to begin-your photography is absolutely beautiful, unique, and truly captured the emotion of the day!!  Each and every one of you were absolutely fabulous to work with during the whole process!  Suzanne, Kristy, and Yatzik-you were all wonderful throughout our entire wedding day!!!  It was a full day and you never lost your excitement and enthusiasm to snap shots that would forever be our memory of our special day.  We received so many compliments about your professionalism during our wedding day.  Amanda-our album is a work of art, your creative ideas and quality of the production are impeccable!!!  We would recommend you all to anyone for your artistic ability, professionalism, and overall friendliness to work with (and we have, my best friend and sister-in-law both have used Artisan Events and would in turn recommend them on to friends and family).  You truly gave us photographs that will keep our wedding day forever as fresh as the day we took our vows.  Thank you again and again!
