The level of unprofessionalism with their customer service really threw me off, I certainly would not recommend them due to this. I had a really tough time communicating with them and still not getting satisfactory results 4 years after my wedding.
After booking my venue, Fine Art was on a list of preferred vendors. Being from out of town, my husband and I relied heavily on recommendations from our venue, reviews, as well as feedback from other vendors on where to even begin our search. I wanted elegant wedding photos that upheld traditional color schemes, as I wanted to stay away from many photography trends of today in fear that they would ultimately become outdated. Upon looking through the portfolios of various photography studios, it was a no brainer to go with Fine Art. While it was mentioned that they were on the "more expensive side", after comparing their work to other local studios, and inquiring about pricing from many, the price of Fine Art was comparable & had what I felt was a higher quality of photo. From day 1 of reaching out, the owner, Jimmy, and/or his wife Grace, were incredibly responsive. He provided direct contact information and would call me whenever he had a free minute to answer any questions I may have had. This included weekends and off hours. After our initial appointment and seeing the beautiful portraits on the walls of their studio, it validated the decision we were about to make in booking them. We pointed out many of the photos on the wall that we loved and discovered that they were shot by the photographer Frank. He was sent to do our engagement photos. He was incredibly patient with us through our shoot and turned around the photos quickly. Upon making our final payment right before our wedding, we were told that he would not be shooting our wedding, but instead Dean would be. I was unfamiliar with Dean's work and initially was very nervous about this. Grace reassured me that he is incredibly talented and advised me to look at the reviews about him. Well, it turned out that my makeup artist's wedding was shot by Dean, and many of my other vendors had him work on their own families weddings, as well. On the day of the wedding, the second I met Dean, I knew that this change was meant to be, & it was going to be a great day. He was professional but fun, enthusiastic and calming. He understood our personalities and meshed with us fantastically. He had Justin, the bridal party & me genuinely laughing throughout our photos. The videographer, Lenny, worked seamlessly with Dean. He himself was comforting, enthusiastic and fit in great with our family & friends. The footage he got is incredible. We can not wait to see it all come together in our wedding video & trailer. I never imagined an event being so perfectly captured through still photos & video, but WOW was I impressed. Every single moment shared between my husband and I was caught. The raw emotion on his face as I walked down the aisle. The small genuine moments on the alter that couldn't have been planned for. The action shots that resulted from our crazy dance floor at the reception. The huge cheese on my 2 year old flower girls face for almost every photo she was in. On top of all of this, we had our photos back (thousands of them) within 2-3 weeks of our event. I couldn't have imagined a better result than what the Fine Art team produced. I would recommend Dean & Lenny from Fine Art to anyone looking to book photography and videography services for their big day. You (and your guests) will be blown away.
We just received our daughter's images for her wedding and words can not describe how spectacular our pictures are! Our photographers, Dean and Frank, and our videographer, Lenny were an absolute dream team. They were professional, while keeping everything light and fun. They were extremely detail oriented throughout the day and night, making sure not to miss a beat, which wasn't easy with the crazy crew of guests we had! They captured all the beautiful formal pictures as well as weaving in and out of the crowded dance floor with the ease. They were truly amazing! From the moment my husband I walked into Fineart Photography, Jimmy and Grace treated us like family. I don't know how we're going to pick pictures for our album as every single one is beyond perfect! I highly recommend them 100%!
There're not enough words to express how much gratitude we have towards Fine Art Photography & Video. From the very beginning, they were very transparent, very helpful and professional to the core. We had Dean, Keith and Lenny for our special day and they were fantastic. We took many, many, many photos but were able to party, dance and still spend time with our loved ones at the same time. Even during the getting ready shots it felt so natural and no delays! All the bridesmaids felt super comfortable and they made it so much fun to shoot. They know how stressful a day like this can be and they made sure to keep the mood light, make us smile and laugh and made sure we were having a good time. Having to postpone twice, they were very understanding and helpful. Very easy to work with. If you want memorable pictures & video do NOT hesitate on booking Fine Art. Thank you all so much for making our day even more special!

We used Fine art photography and video for our 12/04/21 wedding and they were AMAZING! Jim is the BEST and his team was phenomenal. They are so energetic and make you laugh which leads to capturing your genuine happiness. They were so easy to work with and made sure you were absolutely happy with everything. What really stuck with us was how honest they were with us. While we were shopping around for vendors, so many told me I didn’t have to do a first look and that we could get many photos done. Jim on the other hand was 10000% honest with me and told me that if we didn’t do a first look, we would get pulled from cocktail hour and during our reception. I was so glad we went with Fine art and listened to Jim because we were able to dance all night long and didn’t get pulled from our party. It was the best and the fine art team had so much energy during our party. I am so grateful for them and thrilled that we chose them as our vendor.
My daughter used Fine Art Photography for her wedding. They were simply the best from beginning to end- They were so very patient with us especially during and throughout the pandemic!! Jimmy and especially his wife have been an amazing team, and of course the photographers and videographer - a shout out to Dean!!!! We all loved him- They were wonderful! I would recommend them highly and will definitely use them again. I cannot thank you enough:) Can't wait to see the beautiful photos xoxoxo
Jimmy was our main photographer. We absolutely love him. He's so nice and very thorough. He pays very close attention to detail which I absolutely loved. He knew our venue well and knew exactly where and how to take those beautiful money shots. Husband and I are both a little camera shy but Jimmy is so funny, and calming, he made us all laugh and feel at ease and so beautiful while taking photos. He handled my extremely large extended family so well, they all fit right in! They all did actually- all of the photographers and videographers did an absolutely amazing job shooting our day. Our same day video edit is incredible, I was speechless and loved every minute of it. Our wedding gallery is stunning, so many beautiful pictures. I can't recommend them enough!
Jimmy, Dean & Lenny were incredible.
Punctual , coordinated and professional, all while keeping the mood light and fun going ! They were always sure to keep us & all who joined us in our photos posing in flattering positions & looking our best to make these everlasting memories perfect, then capturing everything going on during the celebration.
They worked gracefully with our 2x reschedule due to covid and kept us within our budget , with great options and modern methods to photo selection (digital viewing for order options). We couldn’t have been happier !
I can’t say enough about fine art photography! I just picked up my album and I am in awe!!!!! I cannot believe how stunning the album is. I let Jimmy and his wife get creative and play around with the album and it turned out sooo beautiful. They are so generous with their time, their staff, their prints and their packages. I priced out so many different companies and his package was above all of them. I did photo and video. I love both. On top of everything - jimmy made my wedding day so much easier and more memorable. I remember him on that day more than any of my family members!! Thank you so much fine art photography!!!!!
I worked with Fine Art Photography for my wedding and they sure delivered. They were on time and worked so hard. Dean was my lead photographer and he was so pleasant to work with. I cannot say enough about this company! 5 stars!
I really cannot stress enough that this company is absolutely miserable to deal with. Their work is very good, but they are impossible to get in touch with, they are slow to follow up (if they even respond at all), and they are painfully slow to make changes to your proof/album/video. If I could go back in time I would, without a doubt, choose another photography/videography company.
There are no words..these guys are worth every penny! They captured the most beautiful shots I could have ever hoped for! The crew had a tough job maneuvering my super long train and veil but boy did they nail it!! Same day edit was AMAZING! pleasure working with this company you will not be disappointed book them right away if you want talented, personable photographers.
Everyone at FineArt is professional and amazing!! From start to finish they made sure we were comfortable and having fun, they blew me away with everything they were able to do. They are beyond amazing, I know that my photos are going to come out beautiful. I cannot thank Jim, Grace and everyone who helped make our day so Special. Every time I called they never made me feel like i was bothering them, they made me feel like family. They handled my huge bridal party and family with ease. The team is top notch, I would highly recommend them!! I had so much fun and was able to relax knowing they were taking my photos. THANK YOU AGAIN TO EVERYONE AT FINE ART, and to Jim personally, thank you for all your directing skills, you made me so happy.
Fine Art did my wedding last month and their work BLEW ME AWAY! They meticulously helped us plan our big day, and everything went smoothly. The lead photographer, Dean, is an incredible talent and has a sharp eye. The pictures were gorgeous, truly a work of art. I was very particular about some shots I really wanted to replicate and they got them perfectly. The staff is very professional, and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Fine Art for anyone who wants their day captured beautifully in a unique way.
professional
All I can say is amazing ! If you are looking for a photographer look no further. From when I booked to the wedding day Grace and jimmy were there for me every step of the way. Before the wedding we went over a timeline with Grace of what would happen that day in detail. The staff is truly amazing and such a pleasure to work with. My photos from my wedding day are amazing and unique. Jimmy was such a pleasure to work with and the shots he captured are breath taking. I am so thankful that I booked with fine art. Book with them you won’t regret it.
Grace and Jimmy are true professionals! Everything came out exactly how I imagined and then some. Would highly recommend.
Disappointed
We hired Fine Art for our wedding last winter, after all the wonderful reviews they had. The staff here is really nice, but when it came to our wedding photos I was seriously disappointed, there was no creativity behind the pictures and working with them on the album and wedding video was a nightmare. Many of the pictures were blurry and out of focus, the same with the wedding video. We had to wait over a year for our wedding album, pictures, and video.
As a warning, they don't give out digital copies of your engagement photos only printed copies and they didn't give us a wedding trailer that we requested.
I felt like we were working with amatures
Fine Art Photography is the Absolute Best! From consultation to wedding the staff was Fantastic and accommodating. Dean and the other photographer/videographer arrived on time and stayed with us until the wedding was over. If you need a Dependable Professional company Fine Art Photography should be your number one choice! I would hire them again in a heartbeat!
HUGE Thank you to Jim and his team, for the most gorgeous wedding photos! Fine Art Photo really went above and beyond for my wedding day and I can’t thank them enough!!! They gave me the most BEAUTIFUL wedding photos I have ever seen in my entire life. 4,000 proofs & help picking out the best ones! Jim’s direction and creativity really made for the most gorgeous wedding photos
They are the Best!! Jimmy and his team caught every moment of our special day! We had a blast they are funny efficient and affordable, our day couldn’t have gone any more smoothly! Also they are super fast we got married in 02/18/2018 and we are almost done creating our album. My friend who got married in 2015 just received her album! If you don’t pick them you are missing out. Thank you
Wow! This is by far the most comfortable and warm group of people to work with. From the day that I walked into their place for my consultation to the very last minute on my wedding day, their team was very professional. They blew my expectations. My engagement photo shoot was exquisite. I was fortunate enough to have Jimmy work with me. My wedding’s pictures were beyond breathtaking. Dean, Frank and the videography guy(sorry I forgot your name; forgive me) were experts at what they do. They made my husband and I laugh while they were shooting. They made us very comfortable. Thank you so much for all the hard work that your team did for my wedding. I cannot express how grateful and appreciative I am. You guys did such an amazing job. The quality of the pictures and the video were exquisite. The photo favors were great. Everyone had so much fun doing it. I cannot wait to create my wedding album and get the details to fine tune my wedding memories. Thank you again for your awesome team of hard working people.
I needed to add to this review as I received my wedding album today and it is beyond perfect. The quality and fine details in the picture were impeccable. I cannot stop looking at my album. Thank you for yet another awesome and quality delivery of your services. Even though the wait was long, I can truly say the wait is worth it!! I would highly recommend Fine Arts to anyone who needs a wedding photographer. Thank you once again for such an incredible experience and for the highest quality work that you do. I love my wedding album and the mini version too!!
Jimmy was an absolute doll! I cannot say enough about him, his work is breathtaking. He made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable, he spent quality time with us and made the experience Amazing! We cannot wait until he captures the best day of our lives!
We used Fine Art for our wedding in September and it was the best decision we made! Everyone was an absolute pleasure to work with. We had Dean as our lead photographer and Bobby as our videographer. Both were beyond amazing!! A true pleasure to work with. We had some specific photo and video requests and they captured them all and more!! Cynthia and Chris assisted with photography and both were amazing. Cynthia's attention to detail made our pictures come out so beautiful. Dean was beyond amazing-so easy to work with and made taking hundreds of wedding pictures fun, easy and entertaining! It is going to be impossible to only choose a select few for our album because every single picture came out better than the next. Grace was so helpful and accommodating throughout the whole process. She is so kind and took the time to address all of our requests which I am so grateful for! I would definitely recommend Fine Art to any future bride!!
A true family business! They are professional and warm and help you through every step of the way.
I cannot wait to see what amazing photos we have taken! Jimmy's artistic eye captures every little detail. Frank made us so comfortable and at ease that our smiles came naturally the entire day. I was so impressed that after asking only once, Frank had remembered the name of everyone in our bridal party and families. Chris made us laugh, and was always on hand for some candid shots. Lenny, the videographer, seemed to be everywhere with his camera, getting every moment captured. We cannot thank you all enough! We look forward to creating our album!
I used Fine Art Photography & Video for my wedding and I could not be more pleased. From the engagement photo shoot to the actual wedding photos, the photographers were amazing and extremely accommodating. Fine Art Photography captured the best day of my life and they helped make my fairy tale wedding come true!
All I can say is wow amazing the most important part of wedding is your photos! They were expensive but completely worth the money!!! My pictures make me cry and the video I feel like I can relive our fairytale day!!! Love jimmy dean and the whole fine art crew!
THEY ARE THE BEST!!!A++++ My wedding was at Oheka Castle and they are recommended as a vender there. But I was recommended by a few friends and family that have used them too. I took photo and video with them and when I came back from my honeymoon two weeks later, all my printed proofs (2450) were ready along with all the unedited video and a five minute movie trailer of the wedding. Everything is breathtaking. Jimmy, Dean, and Cynthia were my photographers and Lenny did my video. If you can get them to document your event, it would be one the best decisions that you could make for your wedding. Go to their Facebook. They are listed as Fine Art Photography. My photos are there. I love my pictures and video. I love Fine Art.
Great team that had to put up with a large bridal party! Great packages available.
Frank and Cynthia were amazing. They were thorough and professional, and our photos are incredible. Great experience!!
The photographers and videographer were so great!! They were so nice, funny and patient with my drunken bridal party!!! I highly recommend fine art!!
I'm very glad that I hired Fine Art Photography and Video for my engagement and wedding photos and wedding videography. I worked with Dean, Luisa, Frank, and Dean, and they were all fun and highly professional. My engagement photos and Save-the-Date cards came out amazing, and I can't wait to see my wedding photos and video.
Fine art is probably the best photography EVER. Not only do their photos come out amazing the actual photographers were phenomenal! I had Jimmy and Dean and they were incredibly personable, they knew when I was sick of taking pictures and needed a break, and they did whatever you asked them to do. We used them for both videography and photography
they were personable & professional!
We really liked working with Fine Art Photography, although they were more expensive than the other photographers we met with, we liked their work so we decided to go with them. Frank was our photographer for our engagement shoot and wedding. He was so easy to work with and he was also a lot of fun! We received all our proofs and are in the process of putting together our album. The photos came out great, my two complaints are there is not one picture of my husband alone. It would have been nice to have a few of him since there are so many of me! And I wish there would have been more photos of my husband and I alone, some different poses. I guess I could have suggested it, but the day was so crazy and went by so fast. They did a great job and I can't wait to see my album and video! I would definitely recommend Fine Art Photography, my only advice would be to tell the photographer exactly what you're looking for!! Thanks to Frank for making our day fun and for our beautiful photos!!
Jimmy and his crew are absolutely amazing. They are a bit expensive, but the quality of work is definitely worth it and the didn't miss one moment especially with 3 photographers and videographer. They also did our photo favors which was a huge hit and a photo montage. Also with the package was a free engagement photo shoot!
We shopped around to 3 places, and there was no question that we got the best price and the most inclusive deal at Fine Arts. We loved the pictures we saw at the office when we went to our meeting, so I am sure that we will love our proofs and video when we get them next week! Photographer said "God Bless America" after every picture which got annoying fast. Also he was a little rude to my Aunt and family during formal photos, but it was a very chaotic time so it may have just been a fluke. All in all though, good experience. Also the staff in the office was extremely nice,
I really loved Fine Art. THey are a big studio and have many photographers, but I was really happy with them from the beginning. Jimmy, the owner, was really accomodating and worked with us to have a package that really suited what we needed. He also took his time with us to discuss all of our options and even showed us pictures that he had of East Wind. I really like him because he gave us ideas of how our idea would be planned out. He was the ONLY photographry place that suggested we see eachother before the ceremony in order to get more pictures in and to have plenty of time and to not rush. He also pointed out the the light would be better at that time. In the end, that's what we did and it was the best idea! His idea allowed us to really share the moment of seeing eachother and get pictures of his reaction, it also allowed us to get most of the pictures done so we got to enjoy our cocktail hour and say hi to everyone then which then allowed us to really have fun at our reception. Best. idea. ever. Outside of that, He wasn't pushy and most importantly, had beautiful pictures EVERYWHERE. Floor to ceiling there are gorgeous pictures in that studio. We did our engagement shoot with them and it was a great experience because we go to see and meet our photographer before the wedding. Our photographer was wonderful! He pays so much attention to detail and really just knows what he's doing. He listened to me when I told him what pictures I wanted and with who and was more than happy to do fun pictures - not just boring poses and portraits. During the reception they were constantly taking pictures, but I never felt that they were in my face - it was really great. They were really professional. The only reason why my rating isn't an A+ is because of a woman at their office. TOwards the end of my wedding planning process, I found her very difficult to deal with. After giving her a specific run down of how I anticipated my wedding day to go and where the photographers needed to be at each point, she didn't get it. She would repeat it back to me totally wrong. I must've repeated myself three or four times. My (now) husband called a week later and it was the same deal. On the day of my wedding right after I was done getting ready, I was talking to my photographer about how he had in mind for my husband and I to see eachother (since we saw eachother before the ceremony) and he told me that the woman in the office had told him that we weren't doing that when I had explicitly told her several times that we were. It's not rocket science, you know? So she really was frustrating. The other woman in the office, a cute older lady is just adorable and she's the one that usually greets you at the entrance of the studio. she's awesome, its not her. Either way, the photographers themselves were great and even with that blip they were ablet o just roll with it and make everything go smoothly. I can't wait to see my pictures!!!
Jimmy and his crew are fantastic! We had our engagement shoot done with them, and hired them for my mom's surprise 60th birthday party before the wedding, and every time the pictures were amazing. My husband and I both have large families and they dealt with the "crowds" and made sure we were happy the entire time. They were always in the background while still getting awesome pictures. Love them!!
We had two photographers and a videographer, I never felt like they were in my face, but were actaully right next to me when I needed them. Our proofs are great, can't wait to work on the album.
My friend used Fine Art Photography for her wedding. I really liked her photographer and photos, so I felt that using Fine Art for my wedding was an easy choice!
I met with the president of the company to set up the photography details for my wedding. I asked for and was promised (both verbally and contractually) the same photographer that photographed my friend's wedding. After all, he was the reason I chose Fine Art for my photos. On my wedding day, a different photographer showed up. When I called to see where the photographer I had requested was, I was told by the secretary that he had hurt his leg and that he would not be able to work that day. I was sad, but I understood.
Later on that day, when taking photos at Westbury Gardens, my bridesmaids happened to notice that the photographer I had requested was also there taking pictures of another wedding!!! They remembered him from my friend's wedding. They said hello! They also asked him how his leg was feeling. He had no idea what they were talking about.
The next day when my friends told me what had happened, I very upset and quite angry!!! Because I was taking pictures with my family, I did not see any of this going on. I immediately called and left a message at Fine Art, that I needed a call back as soon as possible.
After several days and two more messages, I finally got a call back. The president of the company told me that there was a mix up because myself and another bride had similar names and the photographers were sent to the wrong weddings. Supposedly the secretary had lied to me about the hurt leg because she didn't want to upset me. Since I was on my honeymoon, I was told not to worry because they were going to "take care of me," to enjoy my honeymoon and we could talk more when I returned. Upon returning from my honeymoon, I again had to call Fine Art several times before I got a call back weeks later.
I never did get to sit down and talk with the president about this situation. I actually never saw him face to face again! The only time I ever did hear from the president again was when I had to stop payment on my final check. After picking up my proofs and looking through them, I noticed there were many pictures missing. I called to tell them that a box of proofs must be missing, but again I didn't receive a call back... not until I stopped payment on the check, that is. Then the president called every phone number on my contract really quick! He accused me of lying about the missing photographs. The way I was spoken to made me furious! About a week later, he found my missing box of proofs in his car!
Believe it or not, all of this was just the beginning of the many, many problems I had with Fine Art Photography! There were many mistakes made, numerous unreturned phone calls and lots and lots of headaches!!! It was such a relief when I finally received my albums and video! I was so glad to no longer have to deal with these people!!! What a terrible experience!
AMAZING!!!! Jimmy is the absolute best! They make you feel very comfortable, like family. Loved them and the different types of shots they took. Proofs came out perfect! It's hard to decide which ones to pick!
I just recieved proofs from our wedding day and was satisfied with the quality and amount of pictures we were given. Our photographers were wonderful, playful and accommodating to all of our requests. The only downside is that when we were given our proofs they were not in chronological order so I have been spending the last two weeks putting 1,000 pictures in order. Same thing with the website, the pictures are not in order.
They are very professional, on time, happy and makes you laugh! Great company! I got my engagement and wedding proofs so fast. When you are their office they make you feel at home.
