Artisan Photography

Tim photographed our wedding in July 2014. My husband and I did not have to worry about one single thing all day. The overall photography experience was outstanding. Several members of the wedding party commented on Tim’s professionalism and clear, skilled directions. We received our proofs and slideshow in one month. The slideshow brought me to tears, and my husband also said he felt, «very emotional,» watching it. Tim captured moments and emotions we never thought were possible to capture on film (especially because we hardly noticed Tim was there). Our photos surpassed our highest hopes. Thank you, Tim Pastor and Artisan photography-​STL.

Timothy was the photographer for my May 2014 wedding. I was a long-​distance bride – living in Brooklyn, planning a St. Louis wedding – and the folks at Artisan were responsive and patient with my questions. When the wedding grew closer, my fiancé and I filled out a survey meant to plan out exactly what we wanted from our photos, which made me feel prepared. Timothy also helped me plot out the day’s timeline in terms of photography – he went above and beyond to make a long-​distance bride feel a little more in control. On the big day, Timothy directed the wedding party and our families well – knew good spots for portraits, told us how to stand – but was personable and made us feel comfortable. I love the finished product: a mix of portraits and natural, non-​posed photos. I highly recommend Artisan for your wedding!

Tim took excellent pictures of your newborn daughter. We had some pictures taken at the hospital by a photographer but they were done poorly. So, we booked some pictures with Tim because his photos looked good online. The photos are wonderful. Tim was patient with our newborn and we got some additional pictures with our toddler. You can always book at JCPenny but you get what you pay for. On the other hand, you don’t have to pay 1,500 for a newborn photo shoot like some photographers… so I think its a happy medium.

Tim is an AMAZING photographer! He just shot our wedding on April 27^th and I am so happy with the shots he got. His style and quality of work is excellent! He is also very friendly and easy to work with. During the time I worked with him, I could see that he cares nothing more than making his clients his top priority. He also offers great discounts on his prints, photo books, etc. for a certain time period after your event. He is a little more expensive but when it comes to your wedding, I will pay the little bit more to get the superior quality that Tim offers. Highly recommend!!!

Tim shot our engagement photos, as well as our wedding day. I can’t say enough positive things about him! He traveled from STL to KC to shoot our wedding and the extra cost for his travel was completely worth it. He takes plenty of shots of everything so you have more than enough to choose from AND 99% of them are awesome, so it’s kind of hard to choose a few favorites. We hired an extra photographer for our wedding day who happened to be Tim’s wife, Heather. They are both extremely professional and patient. If you’re waffling between Tim and another photographer because of price, I would say stop deliberations and call Tim at Artisan – totally worth it!

Yes, they are a little pricey, it’s hard not to admit that. But, I have to say, the pictures turn out beautifully and they quite honestly have some pretty quick turn around on their prints.
After my sister had her first baby, she and her husband wanted to get the whole fancy package of «naked baby doing cute things.» (I know you know the type). We had heard good things about Artisan and seriously, people were right. The photographer was completely patient with the crabby baby, and kept taking shots till he knew we had a lot of good choices. Also, they were very professional in the way they treated the baby, my sister and my brother-​in-​law. You get to pick your favorites from an array online and you can send the links along to your family and friends so they can choose which pictures they want to order as well. (or they can just ooh and aaah over how cute your baby is).
They do weddings too, but that is not my experience. However, considering how wonderful my nieces pictures came out, I can’t imagine that the wedding or senior pictures they would do would come out any less perfect. I mean, my niece is incredibly adorable, but the photographer really was great.
