The best decision
There's not enough words to describe how amazing Andy is as a photographer and a guy.
Andy's work was amazing so I reached out and I immediately liked his relaxed but professional attitude and knew he was who we wanted to book, not just because of his work but because you could tell he was a cool guy.
He checked in on us in the run up, sent handy guides and videos over and scheduled a call with us to check all the finer details.
On the day he did exactly as he says on the tin, he slipped into the background, captured some incredible memories and made us feel at ease in some of the more usual posed moments.
To say he did all that and then in under 4 weeks returned the most stunning selection of photos. I wanted to cry when I opened them, they were so beautiful.
Andy is an amazing photographer and an amazing guy. If you don't book him you're making an error.-

Emily, thank you so, so much for taking the time to write this. Honestly, reading it has absolutely made my week.
From our very first chat, I knew your wedding was going to be a brilliant one to be part of, and spending the day with you both was an absolute pleasure. Thank you for making me feel so welcome and for trusting me to capture such an important day.
It means the world to hear that you felt relaxed throughout the process and that you love your photos. Knowing they brought such an emotional reaction when you first opened the gallery is exactly why I love doing what I do.
Thank you again for your incredibly kind words — it genuinely means more than you know. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together, and who knows… maybe our paths will cross again at another wedding one day!

Perfect Wedding Day
Andy was brilliant, from start to finish. The information in emails and through meetings was excellent. Incredibly professional and met our brief perfectly. He absolutely delivered some great photos, many of which I didn’t realise he’d taken. He captured the wedding, both pre an during beautifully.
Andy also worked to our budget which was a real bonus.
After event support was also excellent.
Andy was the best choice for us and we would highly recommend him. -

Absolutely brilliant!
Andy has been brilliant from the first communication up until weeks after the wedding. Very professional but relaxed with his communication putting us at ease and giving us confidence that he knows exactly what he’s doing. We were expecting the photos to be good after seeing the work he’s done previously but honestly we were amazed by the photos he managed to get for us. Our wedding was busy with our young kids but the photos he managed to get are honestly just perfect, we couldn’t be happier! He captured the emotion of the day and he really told a story of the day with the photos he got for us. Would absolutely recommend! Thankyou so much!SaywellHQ's reply:
Hi Gemma!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review.
It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your day. The kids were brilliant and brought so much personality and emotion to the photographs – some of my favourite images from the day are from the ceremony with them involved.
I’m so pleased you love the photos. Capturing the real moments and telling the story of the day is always my aim, so hearing that come through in the images means a lot.
Thanks again for trusting me to photograph such an important day, and I wish all of you the very best for the future.

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.SaywellHQ's reply:
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!

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!
