an absolute delight to be around and truly helped make our wedding day feel special. They were fun, upbeat, and had a knack for getting everyone to smile. To top things off, they even stayed for an extra hour, for which we were extremely grateful. However, when it came to the product delivered, I couldn't help but feel a little let down by both the photography and videography that I received after the event. While the contract stated that I wasn't allowed to edit the photos, I was surprised to see that they looked unedited, with no touch ups or lighting/color corrections made. Furthermore, I wanted to add digitals to the middle tier package rather than just receiving a printed album, but was informed that digital copies are only included with the lower package and add-ons were not negotiable. Therefore, I was compelled to compromise on quality due to financial limitations preventing me from getting the top tier premium package. When I finally received the original digitals, I was disheartened to see that they were only suitable for social media sharing, which made it difficult for me to display them in larger formats such as my website or slideshows. I had to keep asking for months before larger versions were provided to me. To add to my disappointment, there were no clean shots of the back of my dress or the full bridal party without any distractions in the background. This left me feeling dissatisfied, as I had hoped to have beautiful shots to cherish forever. Turning to the video, I had a similar experience. Andrew did not allow me to see the uncut footage, and I was only presented with the edited versions, which were not as good as I hoped for. I was disappointed to learn that there was no footage of our first dance, the wedding party grand march dance, or the ring bearer and "flower man" going down the aisle (which I will never see because I was out of sight waiting to walk down the aisle myself). While I appreciated the 30-second preview, all the video versions had at least one uncut speech, leaving out many poignant moments from some and dragging out others that could've been shortened, and there was no "best of" moments version. Overall, I am left feeling upset even now 2 years later about the final product I received, despite the wonderful experience we had with Andrew and his team. While I still follow his work on Instagram and believe in his talent, I feel that I didn't quite receive the level of quality product I had hoped for. I hope this review helps others make informed decisions about their wedding photography and videography services.

nvinced him to come with me to a meeting with Andy and by the end of our meeting he was sold! Not only did he want to use Andy for our wedding, he wanted something other than the lowest tier package! Going home he still vocalized (for days) about how much the photographer was going to cost...until we had our engagement photo shoot. The experience had him laughing, a man who hates being in photos. The photos themselves looked amazing and we left feeling better than ever about our decision. Our wedding day went flawlessly and both photographers had on masks the entire day. We haven’t received our wedding photos back yet but we did get a slideshow preview at our reception, which our guests raved about! If you’re on the fence about who to use or how much money to spend, just remember, at the end of the day the photos are what you’ll have to help you look back and remember your special day. Oh, I almost forgot all the extra little things he did. Like carrying my dress, my veil, and any accessories really. He also called me the morning of before he arrived to check in and make sure I was doing okay and had what I needed. A small detail but it meant the world to me! I could go on and on, but if I haven’t convinced you yet...you should just schedule a consult with him, you won’t regret it.

motivation caused him to forget a few of the items we needed for the photos. We were prepared to make it work but Andrew was so calm and flexible and told us he would wait so that our vision for the photos could be possible. When we came back, Andrew’s support and professionalism made it feel like we had arrived there on time! My fiancee was so surprised at how the time flew by and how much fun we had.!Andrew’s relaxed and positive attitude was so infectious it made us enjoy every moment. The photos we saw just off of his camera screen display were amazing. We cannot wait to see the final edits!
