Julie B.'s Profile

Alan and Amber, the wedded creative forces behind Artistic Imagery, are raising the bar when is comes to wedding video and photography in the Sacramento market. My husband and I enlisted the talent of this team after being blown away by the cinematic mastermind of Alan. We were having our wedding reception at the historic Crest Theatre in downtown Sacramento and wanted to have a video more similar to a motion picture than your run of the mill wedding video. Alan saw our vision and took it to the next level! He created what very few videoagraphers dare to attempt - a same day edited video that included not only a full day of prerecorded footage, but recordings from the day of our wedding, from shots of me getting ready all the way to my walk down the aisle. we played the video on the big screen during our reception and it is hands down our favorite part of the evening! Alan also used some photos from our engagement photo shoot and created a movie poster that was displayed in the frames outside of the theatre!

I could go on and on about the amazing work Alan did, but would be remiss not to mention the contributions from his other half Amber. First of all, I have to tell you, Amber is like a bride whisperer! While she was helping Alan with some footage at the salon the day of the wedding, her advice and insights helped put my nerves to ease. But her talents don't stop there. Instead of a photo booth, Joe and I decided on a less expensive alternative - a "photo station" - think prom backdrop and set up but much more fun with props and professional photographers. Playing on our "Old Hollywood" theme, our guests were able to take photos in front of a red curtain backdrop with props ranging from a director's megaphone and clapboard to feather boas and top hats. Amber shot the photos and was able to print them out on the spot to give away to our guests as souvenirs. Amber's photo skills go way beyond the booth and I encourage you to view her extensive profile at http://www.artisticima....

My husband Joe and I couldn't have been more pleased with our experience working with the dynamic duo Jen and Chris of Jen Stewart Photography. What I love so much about this husband/wife team is their different yet complimentary aesthetics. While Chris is a bit more edgy and artistic, Jen brings a more classic and romantic eye to create a final product that is completely awe-inspiring. And then their easygoing, fun-loving personalities are just icing on the cake.

Beyond their mad photography skills and rad personalities (yes rad is a very befitting adjective to describe this couple), what I also appreciated about Jen & Chris is their balance of personal and professional service. They took the time to get to know us and brainstormed how to make both our engagement and wedding photos unique and reflective of our personalities and relationship.  Couples wanting to do something outside of the box and avoid the cookie cutter rose garden photos (you know what I'm talking about) look no further!
