Vendor Testimonials - LONG ISLAND WEDDINGS ™

Chuck and Lynn are accommodating and a pleasure to work with. They were very helpful, especially on the wedding day when Chuck made me laugh and helped ease my stress. Our pictures came out beautifully.

Where can I begin...My husband and I were so thrilled with Chuck, Lynn and everyone else with Artisan Photo Group. Our album was beautiful, we get so many complements. Photography was so important to us for our wedding, and we wanted to make sure that we would have many wonderful memories...well Artisan delivered, from our engagement shoot, to Old Westbury Gardens and finally our reception at Jericho Terrace, Chuck and his crew took classic elegant and artistic photographs...I am now pregnant and I'm sure that our daughter baby’s pictures will be just as memorable from Artisan.

Chuck and Lynn are FABULOUS! Our proofs came out amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better group of people to work with to make our wedding day great!

I just cannot say enough good things about Artisan Photo Group. I'd say that one of the MOST important aspects of my wedding was to have an incredible photographer capture the most special moments. I had interviewed several highly recommended photographers and Chuck (the owner) just stood out among the rest. When I was doing my photographer research, the experience that I had was that some studios have you meet with a representative who tells you about the studio and once you sign the contract, then you find out who your photographer will be. How do you know that the photographer you are getting is the one who took the pictures on the website or in the sample albums that you are shown? It's a very different experience with Artisan. You are meeting with the owner, Chuck who is also a photographer. There is no question that the photos you are seeing on the website or in the sample albums are the work of the photographer you are getting for your special day. Chuck patiently sat with me upon our first meeting and answered each question I had. For my wedding we had Chuck as our main photographer and Noah as our photojournalistic photographer. They were incredible on our wedding day, capturing every special moment and then some. And I received my proofs by the time I got back from my honeymoon! My husband and I are so happy with how the proofs came out. And the great thing is that the guests from our wedding are able to go online to view all of the proofs from the wedding and purchase their favorite ones if they want to. I can say without equivocation that I made the right decision in choosing Artisan for my wedding photographers.

My husband and I got married in October 2007 and used Artisan for our Photos and Video. It was one of the best decisions we ever made. Chuck made us and all of our guests feel so comfortable from the minute he arrived. His creativity and professionalism is what made our pictures so beautiful and unique. We recently met with Lynn at the Artisan office to select the pictures for our Album and the entire experience was a delight. Lynn is not only a pleasure to be around but her knowledge of the entire process and her advise helped us to put together the perfect album. Aside from the great pictures, the prices were actually much better than many of the other photographers around. One of the best things about Artisan is that you get your proofs within a few weeks of the wedding, and they are real pictures that you can keep rather than the typical proofs that say "proof" across the middle. There is so much more to say about Artisan but take my word for it, you will not be disappointed. Of all the decisions you make for your wedding this one should be the easiest, use Artisan and you will be thrilled.

I work as a graphic designer so the quality and artistry behind my wedding pictures were extremely important to me. When I interviewed Chuck, the owner of Artisan Photography, I was very pleased with their previous work. Their attention to detail and professionalism was superb. I got married in August near the ocean and they were able to capture every moment beautifully. Chuck and his crew knew exactly how to use the scenery to complement my pictures. They never got in anyone’s way and not once throughout my reception did they stop me to situated me and take pictures. They were able to capture everything without having to do that. They were unbelievable. Artisan helped my husband I created our album. Lynn made this processes very easy and exciting. She helped me arrange my pictures for my album and she did an amazing job. I would recommend Artisan to anyone who’s getting married. They were excellent!

I got married in May 2006. Chuck was my photographer; he was great. I had 2 photographers and a videographer, all from Artisan, and the results were all great. I had over 1000 proofs!! I had the proofs and unedited video quickly after the wedding. It was hard to choose the pictures for my album, but working with Lynn was great. She was such a big help to us in choosing our final album pictures. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who's looking for great wedding photos.

Photography and music were what was most important to me and my husband. From the first time we met with Chuck and Lynn, we felt like we've known them for years. They made themselves available to answer any questions or concerns before our wedding. On our wedding day, Chuck and his assistant, Chris, showed up at my house while I was still getting ready. I didn't realize it until we received the proofs (less than 3 weeks after our wedding!) that Chuck was taking candids of my family who were all waiting for me to come out. After the ceremony, Chuck scouted the grounds of our reception site (while we were relaxing in the bridal suite) and claimed the garden with the best lighting. Our families and friends were so happy to work with Chuck, Chris, and Rich (who took our video), and everyone had a blast while taking pictures outside in the cold. At the reception, a lot more pictures were taken and yet they never once got in anyone's way. Chuck took all of our requested shots along with shots we never even thought of, which was a great surprise. All of our proofs look absolutely gorgeous!!! We really can't thank Chuck, Lynn, Chris, and Rich enough for all their hard work... and for creating such a fun working environment on what could have been a nerve-wrecking day.

ARTISAN: A++++++++ Its been said before but I'll say it again, CHUCK IS THE BEST!!!!! We used Artisan for photo and video and they rocked!!! Chuck is a true professional; he did everything i asked him to and more. I have no doubt the pics will be amazing!!! My whole family loved him; he was an absolute pleasure to work with. Rich did the video and he was equally as great. The 2 of them were worth every cent. Also Lynn is a sweetheart and pleasure to deal with. I think anyone who goes to see Chuck's work and then doesnt use him is CRAZY!!!! Hands down, hes the best. Artisan and WM made my wedding as perfect as it was.

I just wanted to give my review of Artisan Photography for anyone who was looking for a photographer. After seeing my album layout and receiving all of my enlargements tonight, words can not express how happy we are with our entire experience with Chuck, Lynn and our photojournalist Noah. After researching and meeting with several photographers and companys, we knew we wanted someone who was unobtrusive, relaxed, funny, and most importantly took amazing pictures. We also knew that wanted to be able to meet with the person who was actually going to be there on our wedding day. From our engagement shoot (so much fun) to our wedding day to designing our album, Chuck and Lynn were always available to answer any questions we had, give professional advice and were just a pleasure to work with. I think the result speak for themselves. We got 1000+ proofs which took me forever to look at b/c each one was more beautiful then the next. I think the results speak for themselves. Please FM me if you have any questions.

Hello, my name is Christina and my Wedding was on July 1, 2006. Photography is so very important to me, as you have those memories on paper forever and I was a little nervous that I might be too picky in searching for the “perfect” photographer. We met Chuck and Lynn from Artisan the Summer of ‘05 when we started looking for photographers, they were the first company met with and also the last. The night we walked into the studio I felt completely comfortable with Chuck like I had known him for years and it was like that through the entire experience. My Wedding Day couldn’t have been more beautiful and Chuck, Noah (the Photo-Journalistic Photographer) and Raffi truly perfected their very talented way of capturing the entire beauty of the day, I couldn’t even imagine more beautiful pictures. When they arrived at my parents house Chuck immediately started photographing my bedroom with my dress, shoes, flowers and of course, me. Noah took such beautiful candid and artistic shots, as we posed for some formal shots. Chuck was pretty much a perfectionist….I remember a tiny little hair by my forehead wasn’t right and he asked me to fix it so I looked perfect. Honestly, throughout the entire day I didn’t feel like it was a chore to be taking pictures because they were so much fun to be around and throughout the entire reception….I didn’t even know they were there and yet we have over 1,000 proofs to prove that they were! It was also very important for Chuck that we actually enjoy and eat at our Cocktail Hour, so he wanted to get as many pictures done in time for that to happen….and it did! We were able to enjoy the Cocktail Hour with everyone there. We got our proofs exactly on our one month anniversary and it has taken me nine months to finalize the shots I want for our album because each picture is more beautiful then the last! But last Thursday we finally met with Lynn and what a sweetheart she is! And quite talented just like everyone else. She knew exactly what she was doing when it came out to the layout of our album and I just can’t wait to see the final product! I just can’t say enough amazing things about Artisan…..they are so talented and I know they will capture the overall beauty of your wedding day, as they did ours. (Sorry, I think I wrote too much…..I just can’t help it!)

I got married in June 2006. Chuck was my photographer; he was wonderful!!! I had 2 photographers and a videographer, all from Artisan, and the results were spectancular!!! I had over 1000 proofs- all beautiful!! I had the proofs and uneditted video 2 weeks after the wedding. My pictures were online for all guests to see (many were so impressed, they bought photos). It was hard to choose the pictures for my album. Today I got my editted video, and it's great! Artisan was by far one of my favorite vendors. I highly recommend them to anyone who's looking. I know my friends will be booking! Any questions, feel free to contact me.

Artisan Photo Group is absolutely amazing. Chuck and his assistants got EVERY important shot during the ceremony and reception- without us ever even knowing they were there! And the formal shots are beautiful. They are professional, thorough, knowledgable, and personable. In addition, Chuck is incredibly creative and talented. And - I got my proofs and my video within 2 weeks!

"This one is for love". Chuck is amazing. He was so much fun and made us laugh. He made everyone feel so comforable. Dennis was my photjounalism and he was amzing too. I meet with so many photographers and I instanly feel in love with Chuck's work.My proof came out beautiful and my husband and I are so happy with all our phots. All my pictures were elegant and tasteful. I must have gave out Chuck's number to a bunch of my guests who are looking for photographers for their wedding. I highly recommend them. If you want to see my pictures you can go to Artisan's website and click on online events and click on Denise DiAngelo/Lance Long and our password is Long.

Chuck is absolutely amazing! He makes you feel comfortable and ease with everything. His pictures are beautiful, I don't think I have seen so many gorgeous pictures in my life. He is truly amazing, I will refer him to everyone I know. "Give me one for love and a few more for happiness."

“Let’s get one for the love! Let’s get a few more for happiness” The photographs and video were very important to us and we went to 7 photographers before picking one that did great work, had great packages to choose from, was very flexible and had a great personality. Chuck gave us everything we wanted and more. We had Chuck as the main photographer and Dennis, a wonderful bonus, do only black and whites. I gave them a list of the types of photos I was looking for and they had the list with them the day of the wedding and would stop and be like, “Wait! This is perfect for a list photo.” During the reception, I never even knew they were there. I'm overwhelmed by our proofs. We have 1000+ perfect pictures to choose from. There isn't a picture in there that my husband I don't look fanstastic in. They got all the shots I wanted and many more. Everyone has commented on how wonderful our pictures are and how great we came out. Our pictures were very important to us Chuck and Dennis were the perfect choice. They are very nice guys who were great to have around the day of the wedding. I wish I could give them more than a 10!

I don’t know where to begin. We interviewed 12 photographers. I work in the photo industry and I have a very discerning eye so quality was important to me. The rapport between our photographer and us was also extremely important. We found everything we wanted at Artisan. Competitive pricing, several different packages to choose from for photo and for video. Chuck took our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Dennis took B&W photos at the wedding and Rich was our videographer. There is not a single picture in the almost 1000 proofs (we were guaranteed at least 500) that we are unhappy with. Artisan far exceeded what we had hoped for. Chuck kept everyone smiling and laughing. He coordinated his team so that all of our photos went quickly and smoothly. We hardly noticed them during the reception and I was unaware of many of the photos being taken. I highly recommend Artisan. Highlight 1: Chuck (not my mother, MOH or a BM) noticed my veil was on backwards (the sparkles and pearls were on the inside not the outside). If it wasn’t for his keen eye I would have been really upset when I realized it probably after the ceremony. Highlight 2: We received our proofs and raw footage (on video and DVD) 16 days after our wedding.

Amazing! Chuck is truly talented. From the first time we met him we knew we were in good hands and made the right choice. He proved this time and time again. Let me start off by telling you the weekend of our wedding, Hurricane Charley was making its way up the coast. I was so freaked out that I wouldn't get the pictures I wanted. Chuck called me everyday that week to reassure me that everything would be fine and that I need not to worry. The day of our wedding the weather held out and Chuck and his assistants captured some amazing photos. His pleasant disposition made him so easy to work with. He made picture taking so comfortable for everyone and was very accomodating. During our reception we didn't even realize he was there. When we received our proofs we were beyond pleased. He has such a great eye. I received so many compliments about our photos. Let me also mention that the turn around time to getting your pictures back is very quick. There is no waiting months and months for your pictures. I strongly encourage and highly recommend any brides to be to make an appointment and check out his work for yourself. You will not be disappointed! We also used Artisan for video and loved what we saw on our raw footage and cannot wait to see our finished product.
