One word.... PERFECT!

I honestly don't know where to start with this review but having Andrew as our photographer was like having a friend we'd known for years, he put everyone as ease and made us all feel comfortable. He allowed me to communicate and share with him a few of my own ideas and he took these and made them into a vision. Alongside this he inspired us with his own unique style capturing the most beautiful shots. I've only seen a sneak peak but that's all I needed to see to make me feel at ease and leaving us excited to see the rest, which says a lot as we are a couple that don't enjoy the spot light or cameras in our faces.

I know this seems like nothing now but we was working on a budget and Andrew took this and worked with it to be able to offer us the best package for our day and I know he made adaptation to suit our needs and we are more than grateful.

I came across Andrew James Photography by fluke and I so glad I decided to go with him as our wedding photographer.

Thank you so much for making our day feel that extra special.

Love the Thompson's

Highly recommend!

I can't recommend Andy, highly enough.

Right through from the very first contact, to the final photographs, we were really impressed.

Before the big day, Andy got to know us, and found out our needs and expectations, so that when it came to the day, everything was just perfect.

On the day, he made everyone feel so comfortable - he was warm and friendly, which naturally brings out the best photos!

Before the day was over, he had already sent through several 'sneak peak' photos, and the final, full set of photographs were sent through really quickly too.

The photos were absolutely amazing, the quality was fantastic, and Andy has an amazing eye, for taking the perfect picture.

We couldn't be happier with the final photographs, the cost was very reasonable, and we were so happy that Andy was part of our day, and gave us the most stunning photographs.

Thank you! These memories will last a lifetime.

Mr and Mrs Law!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.


Can’t recommend Andrew enough. From our initial consultation to the final delivery of our gallery, the entire process seemless , personable but professional.

On the day, despite the rain there was a calm, organized presence, while still keeping the atmosphere light and fun.

If you are looking for a photographer the know exactly what you want then look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend Andrew.

Amazing photographer

Great friendly jovial professional photographer. easy to deal with from the beginning to the actual day. Andy responded to emails straight away and answered and questions I had with ease. He arrived really early on the day and stayed until after the last dance, it showed he was dedicated and enthusiastic. I can't recommend Andy enough will defiantly be using again in the future when needs arise, and passing his details to all our family and friends.

10/10 such a lovely guy, can't recommend enough

Andy and his assistant put everyone at ease straight away, they were professional but polite and thoughtful at the same time. They turned up at 8am and stayed all day until after the last dance. They had a laugh with all the guests and made everyone smile. The photos were sent to us within a week and we're better than we could have imagined. Will be recommending to everyone we know

Friendly professional great quality and value

We just wanted a photographer for the ceremony part of our wedding, Andrew James photography got back to me staright away with a price for exactly what we wanted, we got messages and a call from a lovely guy named Robert to discuss what it is we wanted him to capture, he made us both feel at ease as we aren't people who do photos usually, told us where and how to stand for the best pictures. We received a sneak peek of a couple of pictures early the next morning! Great quality photos, easy to access and download photos, brilliant value for money.

100% recommend Andrew James photography

We had the most stunning wedding day yesterday and Andrew was great, we are so glad we chose him to be our photographer! He was so helpful and easy going in the run up and on our day and the Sneak Peak photos we received this morning are amazing, we can’t wait to see the rest. Andrew has done a fantastic job capturing the special moments of the day and making the bright and colourful theme we had gone with really pop in the pictures. Thanks again Andrew, we would highly recommend you!

Me and my now husband booked andrew james after reading all his amazing reviews and I enjoyed looking at his past wedding pics as I thought they were unique and well shot. After talking to andrew a few times over the phone he put us at ease about our big day. Andrew and his team arrived at my my location where i was getting wedding ready all 3 gents were polite and courteous and made all my bridal party feel at ease, we barley noticed they were there. Me and my husband would definitely recommend andrew james photography for wedding's or any other special events.

A must have photographer for your wedding!

As soon as I made my first enquiry, Andrew was super helpful and responded so quickly. He checked in a few times before the big day and made everything on the run up so smooth sailing. He was absolutely fantastic on the day and so many of my guests commented on this. We got our photos back today and were so over the moon with the finished product 🤩

Anazing photos!

From the very start Andrew was so easy to communicate with! Nothing was too much trouble, and he got back to me very quickly with every query I had. Everything flowed so easily on the day, he sorted out all the guests so no one was hanging around for ages waiting for photos! We got our sneak peek the next day (which was lovely!) and then our full digital album in less than a week since our wedding! I can’t fault anything, the photos are absolutely perfect!

5 Star service ⭐️

I can’t say enough good things about Andrew and his incredible photography skills! He flew all the way from England to capture our special moments in Utah America, and the results were nothing short of amazing. His professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Not only did he make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, but he also managed to capture the most genuine and beautiful moments effortlessly.

Beyond being a talented photographer, Andrew is an absolute joy to be around—friendly, dedicated, and truly passionate about his craft. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond to deliver stunning photos, look no further. Highly recommended!
