An Absolute Star!

As a couple who don't have many photos of themselves, we were nervous about getting a wedding photographer. One thing we noted in recommendations for Andy was that he was a wedding photographer for people who don't like having their photos taken.

We can also attest to this fact as a lot of our guests were surprised with how many candid photos were taken without them realising!

He kept us updated throughout the process, his blog was really useful and he was really responsive with emails, answering any questions we had super quickly. His experience with weddings meant he was really helpful providing advice on how the day should run. He gave us an idea when key photography moments should be happening in the day and the most practical way to make sure they're captured well (his advice for the confetti shot helped it go smoothly).

What worked well for us is that he doesn't do a lot of formal photos and helped us narrow down the important family photos, so we were able to capture those moments without spending too long telling people where to stand in hot weather.

The turnaround for the online gallery was really prompt, and we were able to see all of the photos by the time we were back from the honeymoon. We adore our wedding photos- they truly captured the atmosphere of our special day!

We ordered a framed wedding album and two parent copies. Andy was helpful throughout the process, providing his recommended layout but was also open to our requests to change photos, which took the stress out of putting together a layout ourselves! We absolutely love our album and keep flicking through it, and the parent albums were very well received.

In our introductory call with Andy he advised the most important thing is having vendors you get on well with, and that is something we definitely got from Andy!

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!

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.

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”

We were so pleased and amazed with how great Andy was!

Andy captured our wedding back in August so beautifully. We had a very small and intimate wedding but even with fewer people round he managed to blend in so naturally with all our guests. The photos he captured were truly spectacular and he got all the magical moments of people truly enjoying them selves! If you’re looking for someone to capture those truly natural moments then I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you so much Andy for everything! You really were amazing!

Really pleased!

So pleased with Andy’s style and the final pictures. We got exactly what we were hoping for. Andy was the right level of communicative in the run up to the day and post event, not over the top but we felt very ‘in the loop’ on where he was at. The photos are great and we can’t wait to have some printed!

Simply the best!!

What can we say other than thank you. We are so happy that we chose Andy to be our photographer, he was just brilliant. Throughout the day not only was he incredibly professional but he was so helpful and friendly. The experience he has and knowledge he offers is invaluable. The images he has created for us are breathtaking and we’re struggling to choose a handful of favourites as there are so many.

Best wedding photographer we could ask for!

Andy was the best wedding photographer we could have asked for. In the lead up he made sure to understand what we wanted from our wedding day and made sure to be on the same page as us about how the day would look and was quick to reply to emails. Then on our wedding day he was SUPER! He helped us to keep the day on schedule, was so helpful if we needed to ask him any questions, and made sure that all of our formal shots were done quickly but to a high standard. He was a big part of making us feel at ease on our wedding day while also getting some amazing shots. After, we didn't have to wait long either to receive our wedding pictures which we really appreciated. Genuinely, couldn't recommend enough!

So happy with our photos!

Booking Andy as our photographer was one of the BEST choices we made when planning our wedding. Not only is Andy professional and so friendly, he is also so helpful with everything, nothing was to much.
We only had such a small wedding but Andy still made just as much effort as if it was a big wedding, everyone kept commenting on how helpful and friendly Andy was.
The photos he captured are beautiful and we will cherish them for a life time!
Thank you so much Andy!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
