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!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer! From the very beginning, they were incredibly professional, warm, and easy to work with, making us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera.

The photos are absolutely breathtaking. They captured not just the big moments, but all the little details, emotions, and candid moments that made our day so special. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the entire wedding all over again.

We were blown away by the quality, creativity, and attention to detail in every single photograph. Our friends and family have been raving about the photos, and we honestly can’t stop looking at them ourselves!

If you’re looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what they do, we couldn’t recommend them highly enough. They were such an important part of our wedding day, and we’ll treasure these memories forever

Deserves more than 5 stars

We don’t know what to really say other than we highly recommend Andrew and his team. They went above and beyond for our wedding, capturing every precious moment, got every single shot we wanted and more. The video was just the cherry on the top. Thank you again so much for capturing one our most important chapters of our lives. Waiting to choose a date for our wedding when Andrew was available was truly worth it 💜
Thank you again from Mr & Mrs Goodwin

Friendly, professional and talented

After looking at so many photographers, trying to find the right one, the one that’s photos made me feel something, I am so glad that I found Andrew!
His photos are creative and beautiful.
Andrew was always so responsive and helpful from the moment of enquiring, to booking and then up to the day.
On the day Andrew and Jamie were at the venue early to get a feel of the place, they were absolutely incredible to work with and have such talent. They were fun and understood exactly the vibe we were wanting. He provided so much than I expected, with the drone shots and smoke bombs. I cannot recommend him enough.
We got a short video and well as photos and I could not be happier with either.
Thank you so much guys, I wish you continued success in both of your futures, it’s very much deserved ❤️

July wedding

We had Andrew photograph our wedding in July the whole day was fantastic and the photos and videos we got back from it caught the day beautifully.
It was so easy and comfortable throughout the day getting all the photos that we wanted and so many more that we didn’t know we needed until they came through.
The whole process from booking was easy and seamless and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a photographer !

Mr & Mrs Wellings ✨

Where do I even begin… we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photography team to capture our wedding day. Andrew James Photography were absolutely incredible from start to finish.

The communication from the moment we booked was brilliant. They were always so helpful, reassuring and approachable, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. They made the whole process feel easy and stress-free, which meant so much during such a busy and emotional time.

From the very first moment on the wedding day, they made us feel completely at ease. They picked up on my tongue-in-cheek humour straight away and completely embraced it, which allowed us to relax, be ourselves and enjoy every second. They had us laughing throughout the day, while also capturing all of those beautiful, emotional and unforgettable moments.

The photos are more than just pictures — they tell the story of our day. They captured the laughter, the happy tears, the little moments we didn’t even realise were happening and all the love that surrounded us.

Looking back through our photos feels like reliving the best day of our lives, and we are so grateful that Andrew James Photography were the ones there to preserve those memories for us forever. Thank you for making us feel so comfortable, for joining in with our fun and for giving us photographs we will treasure for a lifetime. ❤️

The best team!

We hired Andrew and Jamie for our wedding, and all we can say is WOW!
From start to finish, they were absolutely amazing. They brought so much energy to the day while remaining incredibly professional throughout. Nothing was too much trouble, and their passion for what they do really shines through.
They were keeping a close eye on the weather all day and always seemed to be one step ahead, making sure they captured every special moment. They were full of creative ideas, but at the same time kept us excited by not giving too much away!
The little sneak peeks they showed us on the day were absolutely stunning, and if they’re anything to go by, we already know our photos and video are going to be incredible.
Not only are they exceptionally talented, but they’re also genuinely lovely people who made us feel completely comfortable and helped make our day even more special.
We honestly can’t recommend Andrew and Jamie enough. If you’re looking for a photography and videography team that brings talent, professionalism, creativity, and great energy, look no further!
Thank you both for everything—we can’t wait to see the final results! ❤️📸🎥🥂

Couldn’t recommend enough! 10/10

We came across Andy through my now husband, who knew him from work, so choosing him for our wedding photographer felt like a natural decision — and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made for the day.

Andy and Jamie were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They were warm, friendly, and approachable, with the ability to put everyone at ease. Their relaxed approach meant they captured the most genuine moments of the day — beautiful, natural photographs of people enjoying themselves without feeling staged or pressured.

They truly went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience!
There was a quick turn around for our photographs and the final results are stunning.

I can’t recommend Andrew James photography highly enough, and I can’t wait to see the finished photographs that will help us relive such a special day. 10/10.

Andrew why can we say! Thank you! As someone who doesn’t particularly enjoy having their photo taken you made the whole day relaxed and comfortable!

Fantastic photography for our wedding

We recently had Andrew as our photographer at the wedding and he was brilliant from start to finish. Clear and easy communication with him prior to the wedding. During the wedding he made us feel at ease and having just received the wedding pictures, we are delighted with the results. Overall a fantastic experience with Andrew and could not have asked for a better photographer at our wedding, would highly recommend

Amazing wedding photographer!

We’ve just had our album back from our wedding just a week ago - the pictures are STUNNING and capture some really beautiful and special moments. Having Andrew as part of our day was seamless, it felt like he was one of our guests. He’s so friendly and fun and he clearly loves his job; he was really invested in what he was doing and made the effort to make us feel comfortable and at ease. I would 100% recommend him for your day and beyond. Thank you so much for giving us such a special package of pictures we can look at forever. Vicki Phillips ❤️

100% recommend!!

Andrew was amazing from start to finish with our wedding photography. His second photographer Rob was also brilliant and lovely and would highly recommend his photography. Andrew made everyone feel extremely comfortable and made himself blend into our family and friends. He was able to work his magic in the pouring rain and was able to make our ideas come to life. Our family and friends also have said how lovely and friendly Andrew and Rob were and shared how they had gone above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy and comfortable behind the camera.

If anyone is thinking of hiring Andrew for photography for their wedding or event I’d choose him 100% again and again !

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!
