    Fantastic photographer, even better bloke

    Andy's process is immensely detailed whilst being easy to navigate. As most peoples weddings are their first (!) it can be a bit of a minefield. Andy has an established process using video calls, pre-recorded instruction videos and a detailed FAQs page to help get through all the unknown.

    On the day, Andy isn't just the photographer but also like an adviser for the day, very well versed in the order of the day and helps you make the most of it. As a groom, he was a calming presence and fit in great with me and the best men while we were getting prepped for the day. At the top of the aisle, he directed me and the rest of the wedding party so we were always in the right spot.

    The end product is authentic, honest and super high quality. The photos captured really show the reality of the day, and we've looked back over them hundreds of times since the big day!

    Would recommend Andy to anyone who will listen - really good bloke and so glad we chose him for the day.

    Hey Jake!

    Thanks so much for such a lovely review! Weddings can feel like a bit of a maze, so I’m chuffed the process helped make things a bit easier. I had a brilliant time with you guys on the day – from the prep with the lads to keeping things on track at the aisle.

    Knowing the photos bring all those memories flooding back (hundreds of times over!) honestly means the world.

    I couldn’t be happier that you chose me to capture it all!

    Amazing photos and a wonderful service

    Andy has been absolutely fantastic from the first email to looking at our photos for the first time. He was extremely calm on the morning of my wedding which was helpful as I am a generally anxious person. He blended seamlessly into the background of our wedding which made it easy to almost forget we were having our photos taken. I absolutely adore our photos and will treasure them always. I am a plus size woman and he really made sure to get the better angles as well as making me feel comfortable all the time. He was easy to get along and joke around with. The quality of our photos is next level they're amazing. He noticed lots of little details that I didn't even realise he was taking photos of them which were a nice surprise when we got our photos back. His style of photography is perfect for people who don't love being infront of the camera and/ or prefer a more candid approach to the day. He was always in the background rather than taking loads of posed photos which I much preferred as an introverted person. I wanted the photographs to represent the actual day and not be a performance. We definitely achieved that so thank you Andy!
    We can't recommend him enough and if I could give ten stars I would.

    SaywellHQ's reply:

    Hey mate!

    Thank you so much for the lovely words - means the world to me that my photos can mean so much to people.

    I loved the day, loved that everyone was there for you guys and was immersed in the day, we got a great set of images that I will always love looking back at.

    Thanks so much again for letting me capture the day - it was a real pleasure x

    A Seamless Experience with a Truly Professional Wedding Photographer

    From the very first interaction, Andy exuded professionalism and warmth. Planning a wedding from abroad came with its challenges, but he supported us every step of the way, giving us the confidence and reassurance we needed to let go of any pre-wedding jitters.
    He coordinated directly with the venue, which lifted a huge weight off our shoulders. On the day itself, his presence was felt but never intrusive—he managed to capture every moment beautifully while keeping the spotlight on us as a couple.
    Our guests were already confident the photos would be stunning, and they were absolutely blown away when we received them. His communication was clear and consistent throughout, and he delivered the final photos promptly, exactly as promised.
    Beyond his skill and professionalism, he’s simply a genuinely nice and friendly person who matched the atmosphere of our wedding perfectly. We never felt intruded upon, and neither did our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

    Amazing - Recommend!!

    I knew I wanted a photographer from the very beginning of planning the wedding and honestly, it is worth it, and if you're undecided on whether to have a photographer on your day, here are our thoughts:

    Andy is amazing! From our first online call to the big day, Andy had shown professionalism throughout. He will talk you through each step and provide you with all the important updates.

    My husband and I are quite camera-shy and can be awkward in front of a camera. At the same time, I wanted to have a selection of photos of just us, for memories. So we also had the option and opportunity to take some "just us two" photos for 20 mins (Those photos came back amazing!) Andy has made us and my family feel so comfortable on the day.

    Andy is great, professional, and everything you would want from a photographer!

    SaywellHQ's reply:

    Hey Jan!

    Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm so pleased that you love what we got, I think we got a great set of images, and I'm excited to see how the wedding album comes together!

    See you guys soon!

    Shottle hall 12/6/25

    We had the pleasure of having Andy Saywell HQ as our wedding photographer at Shottle Hall, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we booked him, Andy was professional, friendly, and incredibly informative. He made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process, which really helped put us at ease on the big day.
    Andy blended in seamlessly and captured everything without being intrusive — exactly what we were hoping for. His calm and organised approach made everything run smoothly, and we always felt we were in good hands.
    We would absolutely recommend Andy to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who’s not only skilled behind the camera but also genuinely lovely to work with.
    Thank you for capturing our special day so beautifully. We are over the moon with how our pictures turned out.

    SaywellHQ's reply:

    Hi Holly!

    Thank you so much for the fantastic review - means the world to me that you guys are loving the photos.

    We got a great set of images, and I cannot wait to get designing the album!

    Andy – A. True Professional



    From the moment we booked Andy as our wedding photographer, he was an absolute legend. His communication was exceptional from the start, keeping us informed and up to date every step of the way.

    After completing his detailed questionnaire, we had a follow-up meeting with him to go over everything. Andy took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, and the entire process was seamless. His calm and professional approach kept us relaxed throughout, knowing everything was in safe hands.

    On the big day, Andy proved to be a true master of his craft. As a seasoned professional, nothing was too much trouble for him. He provided plenty of notice for the formal photo timings, ensuring everything ran smoothly without feeling rushed.

    We chose Andy for his candid photography style, and he absolutely delivered. His ability to blend in with the guests meant he captured every moment naturally, often without us even noticing. The result? Priceless photos that perfectly tell the story of our day, beautifully presented in an album we’ll treasure forever.

    We can’t recommend Andy highly enough. From beginning to end, he delivered a 5-star experience. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s talented, professional, and genuinely a joy to work with, Andy is the one!

    SaywellHQ's reply:

    Nick!

    What a review - thank you so much!

    And a massive thank you for booking me and allowing me into the day, you and Sam made it so easy for me to do my thing and it produced a great set of images that tell the story of the day.

    Look after yourself, and thanks again for the fantastic review!

    Incredibly talented photographer for natural shots!

    We couldn’t recommend Andy more. He has captured so many beautiful moments between ourselves and guests throughout the day, looking back at the photos feels like reliving the day and all the emotions that we experienced.
    Andy has a knack for capturing special moments in a way that feels natural without a hint of cringe! He made us feel totally comfortable and relaxed – and usually we are very camera shy.
    He is a truly talented photographer and somehow managed to go unnoticed when weaving through the crowds. The images are an exceptional quality and he has captured guests, the venue and the mood of the day beautifully.

    SaywellHQ's reply:

    Hey Hannah!

    Thanks so much for the amazing review and kind words - it means so much to me that you guys love the images!

    Saywell HQ was the BEST choice for our day!

    After seeing another couples pictures at our venue we just fell in love with Andy’s work and knew we had to have him capture our day and we were not disappointed! Everything Andy did was incredible we had guests say to us after seeing the photos how beautiful and natural they were. He never once asked people to pose (not his nor our style either!) he was there but you almost forgot at times as he was never in your face with a camera. If you want someone to capture the raw true emotions of the day then Andy is the one! He made us feel very comfortable and kept in touch with us with every step of getting our images back, which by the way was so quick compared to a lot of other people! We waited 31/2 weeks and I had friends wait 12 weeks from others photographers! Honestly can not recommend him enough. We over ran slightly and he stayed that extra time no extra cost, no moaning. He had to help direct drunk people with sparklers to be able to get our sparkler pictures. Even our little ones who don’t often take well to people they don’t know thought he was, in the words of a 3 year old “nice man with a camera and Santa beard”

    SaywellHQ's reply:

    Hey Courtney!

    Thank you so much for the kind words, I totally forgot about the drunk people with fire sticks... that was some fun trying to direct that!

    It was a great day wasn't it, you guys having the singing waiters, and the magic made for some great photos - which I loved capturing!
