MASHAIDA

id not simply attend and take photos at a photo-shoot; they listened to our story and turned it into something special through their photos. Andrew and Mashaida went above and beyond, making the stressful parts of the wedding go smoothly, while turning the fun parts into something beautiful. We will be forever grateful that Andrew and Mashaida were part of our special day, and would recommend them to anyone (which we already do)!

ss about how to choose a vendor that we can trust to capture our big day. We both wanted authentic, aesthetic and amazing wedding photos for us to cherish for years to come. Undeniably that was a huge task and would require a lot of trust and faith. Once we met Andrew and Ada for the first time, we clicked immediately and their energy is simply contagious and their work is beyond gorgeous. We knew immediately that there will be no better fit than to trust them with this big task. We could not be happier and more grateful with our decision. Leading to the wedding, Andrew and Mashaida have been so prompt and attentive. They were also so kind and helpful in helping us to eliminate any planning stress along the way. We love receiving tips and planning guides from them because we could just tell that they put all of their hearts into every work that they do. We truly felt like they are our close friends that are supporting and sharing our journey with us. Having Andrew and Mashaida at our wedding added so much light and laughter to the day. All of our family, bridal party and guests enjoyed having them around not just as professional photographers but as dear friends. They worked so perfectly as a team and they really have gone above and beyond for us. In addition to their amazing photography skills, they came so prepared with their hidden talents. They were such professionals and did their beautiful work so efficiently and effectively without interrupting with anything. When we saw the photos, we were completely in awe. We always knew that their work is amazing based on their past portfolio and our engagement shoot, but they somehow managed to exceed our expectations even more!! We are seriously so blessed to have chosen Andrew and Mashaida to be a part of our wedding, and most importantly, we truly was able to build close relationships with these two dear friends. Future bride and groom- if you are looking for photographers who you can trust to get the job done beautifully and become amazing friends with, you need to experience Andrew and Ada Photography. Trust me, it will be one of your best decisions as well.

etting to know them prior to our wedding was not only important to us but to them as well. They both bring such positive energy and we loved how they intentionally got to know us and spent time with us. When we saw our wedding gallery for the first time we were taken back to that moment in time. The photos let us relive each moment of our engagement and our wedding. Andrew and Mashaida truly have an eye for capturing priceless moments! I would choose Andrew and Mashaida over anyone else because they are upbeat, genuine people who love the Lord and show it through their work.

otographers around! They make you feel at ease the entire time and truly capture the most amazing shots. It’s not only the formal phots that will remind you how great your day was – it’s also the natural moments of fun, excitement and love. We have received so many compliments on our photos and we love them. I am so grateful for the fabulous job Mashaida and Andrew did on our daughter’s engagement party. Not only dis they capture the most beautiful moments, but they captured the positive vibes and happiness throughout the night. They are punctual, reliable and so pleasant to work with. I would love to hire them for ALL of our life moments. They are the sweetest couple and working with them makes me energized and happy. Thank you both for so beautifully capturing this special moment in time.

ng planning process, except that I knew we needed to have Andrew and Mashaida as our photographers. They were the first vendor we had booked and knew instantly it was the right choice. From the very beginning they were helpful and informative, which is what an overwhelmed couple could always need more of. We requested a specific area to get our engagement pictures done, which wasn't an easy task due to the location. Andrew and Mashaida made it happen, as well as gave advice as far as outfits (Mashaida even helped me put my bouquet together!) We were nervous about getting our engagement pictures done as we didn’t know how to pose or how to look. They were there every step of the way instructioning us how to stand and how to pose. I about lost it when the engagement pictures came in! Absolutely perfect! The same goes for our wedding day. Another reason why we picked them was because I liked that Mashaida would be with us girls while we got ready while Andrew would be with the boys. They captured our day perfectly and matched our vision on how we wanted our day to look. They captured Nick crying as he saw me walk down the aisle and capture me crying as I looked at him. At the end of the night they gave us a sneak preview of the wedding pictures, and this time I actually did lose it. Perfect perfect perfect! We even had one of our groomsman ask for their information by the end of the night due to how smooth everything went. I would recommend Andrew and Mashaida a thousand times over to anyone and everyone.

actly what we wanted. By the time our wedding came around they were friends to us. We were so comfortable with them and our photos turned out amazing. They are incredibly professional and truly kind people. Not to mention they know the wedding business like the back of their hand! I still find myself admiring the photos from our special day. They captured all the details in the most perfect way. Looking through the photos makes me feel like I am going back to the day. I would 100% recommend you don’t look any further. They are absolutely one of a kind!

g with Mashaida and Andrew took stress off our shoulders because not only were they our talented and reliable photographers, but they also turned a stressful experience into a friendship. If we could put “Andrew and Ada Photography” and the whole experience into words we would say they truely went above and beyond all of our expectations.

us. Their images are candid and timeless. We had such an unforgettable experience with them from the first skype meeting, to the all day engagement experience, and finally to the wedding day itself. We feel like we've gained life long friends whom cherish our special day as much as we did. I highly recommend them!

ht our wedding experience to heights we could never have imagined. The details are below. The Pre-Wedding: Andrew and Ada pride themselves in getting to know their couples. They care, and, without a doubt will go the extra mile to ensure that their couples are comfortable and ready for their special day. Beyond the regular questionnaires, meetings, and phone calls, Andrew and Ada spent a day with us in Sedona capturing our engagement shots. This came as part of the wedding package. Although we were initially unsure if we needed an engagement shoot (we had professional shots taken during the actual engagement), spending almost a full day being photographed really helped my husband and I anticipate the wedding day. Not only did we begin to understand how the wedding photos would be shot, but the engagement session also rekindled the excitement of getting married that we had been losing from wedding planning stress. The Wedding: Andrew and Ada divide and conquer. Ada spent the morning working with my girls and myself while Andrew looked after the guys. Not only was Ada the voice of encouragement behind the camera, but she was also there in spirit. She understood how special the day was for me, and did everything in her power to ensure my happiness. Although out of her repertoire, she also carried emergency bobby pins and safety pins to solve my day-of problems. Andrew and Ada understood what we wanted that day by asking the right questions. They learned both what was special to my husband and myself, and also why those details were special. They helped us take a step back from the craziness of getting married and appreciate the fact that on that day we were committing to each other for the rest of our lives. The Photos: Of course, none of the above would matter if the pictures didn't look good. The pictures were delivered timely and are of exceptional quality. Their website is easy to navigate and you have the option of printing directly from their site. The only problem I have is choosing which photos to print. That is however, a problem I embrace. Before we chose a photographer, we were told that you get what you pay for. Having gone through the process, I can only agree. Words of advice? Get an idea of what you want your wedding to look like and then find the photographer whose shooting style suits your vision. Wedding photos were a priority for us, and I have only the highest of praises for the photographers we chose.

heir kindness and charisma! Their work spoke for itself. I could tell that they take "personable" to the next level with their clients. Once we hired them to take our wedding photos, we all drove to a chosen destination to spend the day taking engagement photos which warmed us up to the idea of having a camera in front of our face with a stranger on the other side. They took their time to get to know us, and we could not have appreciated that more. The photos were so stunning and painted a beautiful picture of the day. On our wedding day, they knew exactly how to work the bridal party and guests to give us the shots we wanted. The time and effort that they put into their clients is a reflection of who they are as people, as a couple, and as business owners. I truly believe that customer service wins clients, and I would recommend them to anyone I know! We've even requested for them to take our family photos with our newborn son!

ll do anything beyond your expectations to make it possible! A friend of mine, Erin Feser, referred them to me. I checked out their blog and website, and fell in love with all of the photos from their couples’ photoshoots. Each wedding preview and engagement shoot was so captivating, I found myself frequently checking out their blog for updates on new compilations to look through in anticipation to one day see my story being told. I believe that they have such a unique talent in not only capturing beautiful pictures, but can capture the emotions and love story of a bride and groom and tell their story so well. Andrew and Mashaida are two of the most genuine people I have ever met. Before I even committed to Anywhere and Sometime Photography, Mashaida offered me so many artistic tips for a budget, and emailed me links of places and ideas to check out for my theme. She worked with me to meet my needs and budget, and truly wanted to help as much as she could. Both Mashaida and Andrew are passionate about what they do because of their passion for serving God. Their faith is far larger than any fears they may have, and I really admire that in a new couple starting out a new business.

t and space led to much more vivid and engaging scenes than we had seen in other wedding photographers work. I was hesitant at first, to allot so much of our budget to professional photography, but Andrew and Mashaida delivered a product far beyond what I imagined/hoped for. I am so happy that both myself and my family were wrong by wanting to cut corners on photography. Andrew and Mashaida were by far the best investment we made on our wedding; They were not paid enough! Our first encounter was at the Sugar Bowl in Scottsdale and the ensuing engagement shoot. That morning, I was not excited...but they made it so much fun, and not in any way stressful. Andrew is such a cool, down-to-earth guy, who is easy to talk to, and Mashaida is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. They gave the entire time, in each situation, and made us their top priority in every single moment. I spent days looking for, researching, and contacting other photographers and photography teams, and personally, I feel that Mashaida and Andrew have no competition.

ts, an engagement party, a bridal shower, the rehearsal dinner, welcome party) and out of all the photographers we used throughout the year I can honestly say that the experiences we had with Andrew and Mashaida each time were unparalleled. First off, they make you feel incredibly comfortable. So if you aren't used to having your photograph taken, they will make you feel at ease and beautiful. Personally I hate to get my photo taken, but they don't make it seem like a chore at all, in fact it's always been fun which is such a foreign concept to me. And they make you feel heard - If you tell them what you like, don't like, or if something is important to you to photograph, they will listen, take that to heart, and they will remember it. Trust me when I say this is a unique quality that other photographers don't have. Secondly, they know how to pose you. If you see pictures on Instagram and think "Man I wish our photos could look like that," don't worry! They will tell you exactly what to do and your photos will be great. Thirdly, they capture the best moments. We have had multiple photographers now that could not capture special moments the way that Andrew and Mashaida do. They have an eye for it. And I don't know how they do it, but they make even the most candid moments look like something out of a magazine - it's truly amazing. Usually in a reception on the dance floor, all the photos turn out awful because the photo was snapped while Uncle John is belting the words to Don't Stop Believing and Aunt Claudia is fixing her dress and your cousins are mid-blink, but we didn't have a single one of those at any one of our events. They were able to capture moments when everyone was smiling, embracing, dancing, in the most flattering ways. Lastly, their photography skills and quality of photos are amazing. The way they focus on composition while still capturing these raw moments is fantastic. Every single photo in every gallery they've sent us has been great. There hasn't been a single "Eh, this one's okay but we'll just use the other one" moment when we scroll through our galleries and that's really rare for me and my husband because we are definitely not photogenic. Mashaida has such an artistic approach (she's also an extremely talented artist) that makes all the photos they take look incredible. The way that they know how to capture light (even in the worst-lit, indoor locations) is so unique. When we saw the photos from our engagement party, one of the first things we thought was "Wow, you'd never think that these were taken inside!" The lighting was insanely good. I don't know how they did it! We so wish we could have used Andrew and Mashaida for our wedding but they were already booked for the day. They would have been able to capture our first look much more sincerely, but luckily we were able to use them for our engagement party, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, and welcome party. Our guests have always been so impressed when we use them for an event. They always comment on how professional yet sweet and fun to work with they are, and they are always even more ecstatic with how the photos turn out. I have recommended them to all friends needing a photographer and I would definitely recommend them for your wedding day.

ey come with so many special details crafted especially for you, like Mashaida’s gorgeous hairpieces. Not to mention they offer so many tips and details about wedding planning itself! They are so on top of what they’re doing that the only thing they really allow you to do is enjoy your moment which is more than anyone can ask for. When our gallery came back, I was brought to tears. I was stunned at how beautiful our photos were and we couldn’t believe they were ours to keep forever. There are so many things you will not catch a glimpse of on your wedding day and they will be there to capture those special little moments. They captured the story of our love, especially on the wedding day in a form of storytelling. We knew we would get more than just photos from them, but they gave us an experience we will never forget.

us throughout the planning process and really got to know my husband and I well. This made a huge impact because we felt so comfortable with them when it came to the wedding day. It also helped them to capture what was most important to us! Thankfully, they did not overly stage us so the photos came out looking natural and authentic to who we are as a couple. Most importantly, they allowed us to take a moment to get away from all the beautiful chaos of a wedding and just cherish the moment and commitment we were making to each other. My husband and I both agreed that taking photos with Mashaida and Andrew were one of our favorite moments of the wedding because of that very reason!

values and beliefs for us in their work. With Andrew and Mashaida, we did not have to worry about anything. They captured so many candid photos and were always within reach to take specific photos of us with our guests. When the gallery came back, we were speechless and in awe of how beautiful everything looked and their attention to detail: our expectations were exceeded! We would absolutely recommend them because every bride and groom deserves to have someone as talented as Andrew and Mashaida be a part of their wedding and I know they will treat every couple as well as they treated us. They are beyond professional, experts at their craft, so delightful and loving. The absolute best! Investing in such phenomenal photographers is worth it, these photos are a gift to ourselves.
