I am using them. I think the price was high but I liked what I saw and they were highly recommended to me by a good friend. They have several packages. The one I chose was $5500 for photos and video. I got the price down a little b/c I booked with another couple.

I'm using them and paying $5,500 also for photo and video. Compared with other photographers I met, I found that they had a lot included in their packages and were very flexible with them. A lot of the others were 'a la carte' photos/albums and that could add up very quickly.

I am using them for photos only at a cost of $3600. However, definitely compare packages when you see other vendors. I found you get more for your money at Fine Art. They are definitely willing to work with you. Therefore, I would say they are middle of the road.

I used them for my wedding, and LOVED their work. However, I can only recommend Jimmy, and NOT Frank. The difference in their work is astounding (they both shot photos at our wedding, and you can really tell the difference!). Frank was Jimmy's assistant at our wedding. Jimmy is a creative genius, who is truly a master. You can tell him Lauren Dienes sent you.

I also used Fine Art -
If you are interested in them I would do a search - there have been many many posts on Fine Art - I found them from this board. I too used Jimmy and like Lauren I couldn't be happier! In fact I have so many pictures I have to add at least 15 pictures to my album. I paid $5400 for pict. and video - the company is great and they are very quick - I got my pict. and vid. back after 2 weeks - I brought in my pic. for thank you cards and in 2 weeks they called and said to p/u. I also had Chuck w/ Jimmy and either one is very very good. I went to see about 10 photographers (at least) I have no regrets on my choice!!!! Good Luck.

I meet with Fine Arts and thought there stuff was nice but for a lot less money VIP Studios does a better job. They give you 2 photographers and a lot of photos in the package. I am using Mark Kauffman, but was very impressed with VIP. You can search for him on the boards.

This decision completely depends on how critical an eye you have for photography, and how much you know about it. My FI and I were not impressed at all with Mark Kauffman. Mostly felt the photos were very limited in creativity and lacked sharpness. I have seen great work by Cassarino, JoVon, Gray, and Fine Art, too. It's a personal choice/good luck.Welcome New Vendors
