Re: Fine Art Photography

I visited them. My honest opinion -- they are very good if you are on a budget, but there are better photographers out there if you can afford to pay the premium. Good quality for the money though.

Re: Fine Art Photography


I have to respectfully disagree. Fine Art is expensive, and worth the money if you can spend it. While I booked with Cassarino, Fine Art was my second choice. Their packages are a bit pricey, but they give you a lot, and Chuck, the main photograher is great.

Re: Fine Art Photography

Mistyeyed, I don't think that in the end we disagree. Fine Art isn't the cheapest. As Mistyeyed suggests, there are less expensive photographers. But they certainly aren't in the most expensive category either. JoVon, Mark Kauffman, Creative Compostions, B rett M atthews, and Marquee all cost more at least when I visited them... This is the problem of how you and I define expensive I think!

Re: Fine Art Photography

I have to say Fine Art was my 1st choice, but couldn't afford them... and I went with Mark Kauffman!!! I guess it all depends on the package you go with. I happen to like Fine Art's work and have nothing but good things about them.

Re: Fine Art Photography

I used them and Chuck and was happy with them. The only thing that was a negative was I wished they got a little more creative with the pictures. The pictures they took are great but I wished there was a little more creativity. All in all, I had a great experience with them. They have been great to work with. I have an appointment to do my album later this month. My brother and a couple friends also used them and were happy too!

I also used them for video.

If you do a search back in November, I posted many of my proofs.

Re: Fine Art Photography

I booked them for my 3/04 weddings. Chuck seems really nice. We'll be doing our engagement shoot when the warm weather arrives. They are a little more than what I wanted to spend but I feel it'e worth it.

Re: Fine Art Photography

Sirev used them for her 12/13 wedding. Her proofs are ready and I believe she may be picking them up this weekend. Once she gets settled, she should be posting a review of all her vendors.

I used them for my June 2001

If you do a search I posted many times about them... b/c you have so much contact with them after the wedding.
I only had wonderful things to say about them - not only were my pictures great but the service after the wedding was beyond compare. I cannot begin to tell you the service I received - I must have changed over 20 pictures in my album - I would keep going back and either I or one of the photographers would say - no let's take that picture out - they would blow them up and then not be included in the album - after changing it so many times then I had them take about 15 pictures and make them black and white - all no extra charge and no problem - they truly want your album to be everything you want it to be - I think they cared more then DH and I -
I used Jimmy and Chuck - Jimmy is the owner and I think takes the best pictures I would try and get him if you can -
I have nothing but good things to say - not only were they a pleasure to deal with the day of the wedding but I have been married over a year and half and I am still going there - and they are always happy to see us and give great service - and remember they aren't making anymore money on me -
I will miss them once I am finally complete - I know that sounds crazy - but I've been to the office probably about 20 times or so -
My 2nd and 3rd choice were Creative Compositions and Wow I forgot the other ones name -
but anyway I hope this helps -
As far as price goes the packages start at the same price Creative Compositions does however, you get more in the package with Fine Art - that was the difference I saw as far as money goes -
I booked over 2 years ago and at that time - the least expensive packages for both places started at $3500 - I know they have both gone up since then.
Good Luck with you decision.
