Sheri was our wedding photographer last November (this review is long overdue) and we couldn't be…read morehappier with the results. She was able to capture the exact style we were looking for, with a good mix of portraits, details, and candid photos. We had a night ceremony, which made me nervous about the lighting, but she was still able to get beautiful shots. The pictures speak for themselves, but on top of amazing shots, Sheri and her second shooter were professional, on time, and very easy to work with. I highly recommend Swanky Fine Art Weddings!

We began shopping for a wedding photographer with what we thought was a generous budget. However…read morethe more we shopped around the more that we found we had greatly underestimated the cost of a wedding photographer. We searched endlessly through wedding sites for a photographer who had the right background, style and experience with no luck. We were referred to a photographer who was well out of our budget but happened to refer us to Swanky Fine Art photography stating the owner is usually willing to work with different budgets. I contacted Sheri at Swanky Fine Art and never looked back. Sheri made our entire experience fantastic from start to finish. Sheri was very creative and easy to work with. Her genuine nature and good energy made it a perfect fit for us. She kept the lines of communication open and stayed on top of all the important details such as timeline, must-have pic list, etc. The day-of went smooth and flawlessly. Sheri and her assistant delivered on every expectation we had for the big day. When we received our photos, it was delivered in the most thoughtful handcrafted package. We were more than pleased with the final product. Sheri went above and beyond our expectations. We really feel that she went out of her way to ensure top quality was delivered. It was a true blessing to have found her. Swanky Fine Art perfectly captured our special day of beautiful memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you!

Melody, the office manager was super nice and helpful, answered all my questions and was great about follow up. Knowing I had a 2yr old, they demonstrated their knowledge and experience with this age group because they were able to provide the pros/cons of each setting and the best time to get the most cooperation. On the day, we got a call that morning from Melody to remind us and let us know where to meet exactly. Thank god...cuz my phone crashed, with all my notes! Although the promo was for 1-hour photog session, we were done before then but still got a ton of pictures to choose from. Kristi was sweet and professional. I liked her instantly. We went and saw our proofs just the other day. The studio was small but yet the way they had it set up, it was roomy and comfy. We went through each of our pics on a huge screen and gave them thumbs up or down on them. I felt like i was sitting at home going through our own albums. It was that comfy! From the proofs, some the images were pretty pose-y, while others were so natural that Kristi was able to catch. I just wish my little guy was smiling in more of the pictures. Too bad with the retouching they'll be doing, they couldn't retouch them to add smiles to my little grouch! I've never done professional photos before, so I can't give you a good comparison to cost. But it seemed pricey, based on my limited knowledge of what Asian shops do for much less cost. But KSE has beautiful photo boxes that you can load with 23 or so photos, and the photos will then go into a book. But to get the book, you have to buy the photo boxes. Since we already had thousands of photos, we just chose a few family shots and pair shots. I wanted more but aside from our own database, our wallets just didn't permit me spending needlessly! =( But I think I'll be happy with what we chose. Can't wait to pick them up! Note to anyone going to the studio with child in stroller....the studio is on the 2nd floor , so you have to go up 2 flights of stairs. There's no elevator. Thank god my stroller was light and didn't add to the weight of a sleeping 2yr. old. Bring quarters for street parking or go down towards the residential area and try your luck parking there.

I got my hair and makeup done (by Annie Vandyke) at the studio before my session which added to my confidence (along with a glass a champagne :) The photo session was fun! Kristi demonstrated how to pose, so all I had to do was copy her. The images turned out fantastic! I took my fiancé to the ordering session and he loved the photos, it was difficult to narrow down our favorites. The photos were truly pieces of art. I am so happy to have found Kristi, having this experience right before our wedding was a perfect reminder of our romance. Thank you Kristi!

I have three Pioneer Mulberry 12" X 12" E-Z Load scrapbook albums which I love from Archival USA…read more com. I love the simplicity of their scrapbook covers in Mulberry paper. The quality is indeed longevity as I hope to leave my mark in history with my collection of scrapbooks telling my story. Their albums and refills are not easy to locate among craft retailers like A.C. Moore; Michael's Arts and Crafts; or Joann's as they don't carry all Pioneer products... thus four stars. In addition, Pioneer's Mulberry 12" X 12" E-Z Load scrapbook albums does not have a large capacity to uphold many pages with expansion... total disappointment as I rather insert more plastic sleave pages rather than constantly purchase a whole new album. N.B. With expansion of adding plastic sleave pages, the plastic dust jacket cover to protect the album's cover would not fit the album.

The team not only accommodated me, they calmed me down, supported me through the chaos, and made sure I had exactly what I needed. The manager -- possibly the owner -- was hands-on and deeply embedded in the operations, and you can tell there's a real commitment to care, service, and integrity. This isn't just a camera store -- it's a team that genuinely cares about supporting producers and the film industry from a heart-centered place. I felt that in how they treated me, even when I wasn't the easiest client to deal with. Their patience meant a lot. I'll absolutely be back -- and I'll be a lot more organized next time. They also carry a great selection of high-quality, professional-grade gear (I'm not running an indie setup, and I'm a stickler for using the best). One note for fellow producers: if you're new to brokering your own insurance (like I am -- this is my first solo production and first time juggling multiple production roles), be aware that they don't accept Thimble. So plan ahead on that front. Definitely recommend. Morgan Mercer

The day of the pick up, it wasn't available because it was rented out and they had me down for the following week. I spent three hours, all of which was on the clock, tracking down the same lens in ShareGrid. I Didn't get all the shots I needed and it cost me an extra few hundred dollars last minute. I sent them a follow up emails, stating this, and they didn't bother to respond. I'm 1/2 a mile away from them and would've rented from them continuously, but not after this mess up. All would've been forgiven had that got back to me, but no such luck. Their loss.
