The most natural, fun and meaningful photos!

We had our Wedding at The Shack Revolution on 23rd July and Andrew was one of their recommended photographers, as soon as I viewed his Instagram I knew he would be perfect for our day... what I didn't expect is how amazing our photos turned out to be. Lush images of laughter, love and meaningful moments. We are so, so happy with our photographs. Andrew makes you feel completely at ease and to be honest it was like having another friend at the day - we didn't want him to leave! Truly amazing! Highly recommend 👌

Laid back and professional photographer

Andrew was completely professional on our wedding day. He blended in to the background so that we barely noticed him taking the candid photos.
He was great at prompting us when doing couples only shots, and was very down to earth and put us at ease.
He kept up with the chaos of a large wedding guest list and delivered all of the formal photos we were after.
Andrew's morals of volunteering with the emergency services aligned with ours, and speak volumes about his personal character.
He was an absolute pleasure on the day and we would thoroughly recommend him.
He sent our previews and full album through far quicker than promised, and the photos are absolutely beautiful.

An organically professional photographer who captured our memories perfectly!

Sitting with Andrew for our initial consultations and discussions we were immediately at ease that the photography on the day would be in the hands of a professional. He produced photos beyond our expectations, both with the set pieces we had requested and organic shots that captured the essence of our special day perfectly. Andrew captured these special memories for us wonderfully, and we are forever grateful that we can now share these with our family and friends for life!

The BEST wedding photographer

Simply amazing! If you are looking for a professional, aesthetic photographer look no further!

I found Andrew on Instagram when researching wedding photographers and loved his previous work. From both formal to candid shots, he seemed to capture the emotion behind all the key wedding moments.

Throughout the booking process, Andrew’s communication was amazing. A few weeks prior to the wedding, we had a zoom call where we spoke through the schedule of the day. Andrew was both knowledgable about what would work to get the best shots and also flexible around our plans. When we changed plans slightly at the last minute, Andrew was accommodating to our wishes about locations prior to the ceremony.

On the day, Andrew was friendly, professional and a big part of our day. All the guests commented on what an amazing job he did. Andrew took a range of more formal photos that he had requested, in addition to a range of beautiful candid shots. We were keen to enjoy the day with the guests and avoid spending long periods posing for photos yet somehow Andrew truly captured the essence of the day perfectly.

The following day, Andrew provided a sneak park of photographs that captured the day better than we could have ever imagined. I feel he captured key moments perfectly whilst allowing us to feel relaxed and not miss a moment. The final album was edited promptly. From start to finish, Andrew provided an outstanding service and I feel lucky to have had him as the photographer at our wedding.

Fantastic natural photos

After searching high and low for our perfect photographer - we found Andrew. With good communication and friendly, informative initial zoom call, we found Andrew comfortable to be around and with his background in festivals he was perfect for the candid photos we wanted. On the day, he blended into the guests, but took control of group and organised shots when needed. We had great fun with our photos, both Andrew and our videographer worked together fantastically and we really can't fault his work. We would happily use for family shoots in the future and recommend to others.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
