laughed and had so much fun! Pete edited our photos and must be a magician with some of the magic he worked on a few of the more candid photos. I have beautiful, forever memories thanks to this awesome team. Cheers!

From my initial conversation with Pat, I knew I wanted to hire Artesia. Their customizable packages, transparent pricing, and easy payment plans were all contributing factors to ou...
r choice. Our engagement session with Atosa went amazingly well, and we could not wait to work with her for our big day! Her sweet demeanor immediately put us at ease, and her thoughtful directions and prompts make for some amazing photos! Julian was our videographer and he too was amazing at giving directions and was very patient with us. Their teamwork, attention to detail, and dedication to get the perfect shot was impressive. Photos were processed in a timely manner, and video footage was well worth the wait. All in all, we could not have asked for better documentation for our magical day.
Any questions?

I lost all of the raw footage they sent us and a year after our wedding they still had it and we’re able to recover our memories. 10/10 would recommend if you want a beautiful video to capture your special day!
