Hi, I 'm Andy, I am a documentary style wedding photographer based in Cheddington, Buckinghamshire. Most of my weddings are in Herts, Beds, Bucks or London but I cover weddings all over the UK.
I love photographing natural & un-posed moments like a congratulating hug from your best friend or family or the thrill on your face as you are plastered with a barrage of confetti!
I don’t want your wedding to feel like one long photo session. My priority along with capturing great photos is keeping you with your friends and family as much as possible.
Throughout the day I try to be discreet as possible while not compromising on the quality of my photos. I don’t want to be obstructing your guests' view of the ceremony or speeches as I appreciate they would rather see you than the back of my head!
I have photographed over 100 weddings including destination weddings in Barcelona and on the West coast of Ireland.
I am a recommended supplier at a number of venues including Rothamsted Manor, Shendish Manor & Pendley Manor in Hertfordshire.
I would love to know more about your wedding plans! Contact me to schedule a Zoom chat or schedule a meeting

Andy is a brilliant photographer and we couldn’t have wished for a better person to shoot our wedding. He was excellent.
We met Andy at a wedding show and from the minute we spoke to him he made us feel at ease and happy to spend time with us discussing what there was on offer. Andy stood out from the rest with his candid photos that showed people in their natural environment and not all staged. We loved his work and booked him.
After we had booked Andy, he was professional and replied to questions quickly. He made us understand the packages fully before we made our decision and wasn’t pushy to make us spend more money. He worked with our budget and we couldn’t have asked for more.
We both thought that the pre wedding shoot we had arranged was going to be awkward, but little did we know, Andy had scoped out the place we were going and so he could spend time with us as a couple to get to know us instead of working out where to have our pictures taken. We laughed so much our nerves had disappeared and the pictures were flawless.
On our wedding day, he captured the traditional shots of both Bride and Groom getting ready but also some amazing natural shots of everyone involved in the big day. Throughout the entire day he was faultless and captured some truly amazing photos of the ceremony as well as the fun had on the dance floor. He captured moments of our day that we will treasure forever and went beyond all of our expectations. There were so many comments from family and friends about how comfortable he made everyone feel.
We had some rain on our wedding day yet one of our favourite pictures of the day is my wife, her father and bridesmaids walking towards the venue all holding umberellas. Andy managed to capture the fun and laughter of this moment as well as the true beauty of my wife. Andy worked with the wedding coordinator to make sure that everything we had asked for and more was possible on our special day.
We received our wedding album just before Christmas, hand delivered by Andy which was a really nice touch and it was better that expected. Everything about the album was amazing. The presentation box, the USB and protective box was all matching showing how much attention to detail Andy goes into.
We cannot recommend Andy highly enough and can not thank him enough for bringing our memories to life.

Dave and Kerry Stephenson Wedding, Pendley Manor
Andy is an excellent photographer and on our special day he took so many wonderful photos whichwe will cherish for all of our lives. He arrived on time and having pre-planned all of the photos with us, was able to go to work immediately. He responded to our guests requests for photos we had not thought of and during the ceremony, pre-drink reception, reception and evening was unnoticeable as he went about his work. His photos are a mixture of formal and informal which work really well together. some of our favourites are those taken on the grand staircase at Pendley Manor Hotel.
Andy, you really helped to make our day so special and if we ever need a photographer again, you would be top of our list. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
Thank you so much.
Dave and Kerry Stephenson.

Couldn't have asked for any better!
Andy is a totally amazing wedding photographer. From the organisation and pre wedding shots to delivering us the final product and making our photo album he has been professional yet friendly. His eye for detail is amazing and the shots he took capture our wedding day perfectly. Neither myself nor my husband are particularly fond of having our photo taken but Andy's confidence and manner made us feel at ease and relaxed, and the pictures reflect this. He had thought through every aspect of our day before hand and managed to capture it all without us even noticing! The pictures are up all around our house and I still look at them daily, 4 months on. Thank you Andy!
