About Us
Vanessa + Rob
Guided by award-winning photographer, Amanda Sudimack for two decades, Artisan Events® creates timeless, inspired love stories. Our natural, candid images are curated for you in elegant hand-crafted books because we know every detail counts.
We believe in many things—our clients, composition, rapport, journalism, the moment, our reputation, and most of all your experience. And we believe in beautiful design, in-sourcing, collaboration, fine materials, and cutting no corners. Whatever capacity you choose to work with us, we deliver work we’re proud to create.
Our talented team is honored to tell your story—with warmth, respect, and exceptional professionalism.
