I am a photographer who loves people. I love capturing soul, sparks of personality and the many faces of love. I live for the moment and the best moments are those that are genuine. As a wedding photographer I get to capture all of that and it makes me very, very happy.
Hi, I'm Andy

My Approach
Bob Dylan said “if you want to keep your memories, you first have to live them”. I want to capture your wedding day as you and your closest loved ones live it, each wonderful moment as it happens, when it happens. With that in mind, my approach will focus on a candid photography style. This means I will blend into the day, making your guests relaxed and at ease with me so I am able to capture those seen and unseen moments with no contrived posing, false smiles or intervention.
Other styles of photography I blend into the day are portraiture and fine art. This will allow me to give you a wedding album packed full of authentic emotions and moments of all your amazing guests celebrating the awesome you!
I am a great believer in presence and enjoying the moment.

“Booking Andy for our wedding was the best and one of the most important decisions we made. Wedding Photos are the one thing you can keep forever and pass on to the great great grandkids! It is important that they are right! Andy didn't just get it right, he shot a fairytale. Smashed it! Andy was professional from start to finish. Delivered amazing, memory-filled photos and on top of all this, he is an amazingly warm, funny and caring guy. A joy to be around”

“Andy not only captured our day perfectly, but was also great to have around. A lot of our guests after the wedding commented on how easy going and funny he was to have around. We are reminded of his work daily, as we walk past our pictures in our house - they bring back so many happy memories and we thank Andy for that.
A great photographer, and an even better guy to boot. Would not hesitate in recommending Andy to anyone for their big day.”
"A great photographer, and an even better guy to boot"
Aaron & Rachel
"Andy came all the way up to Scotland to capture our wedding for us and we couldn’t be happier with the end results. His style has a really personal feel, capturing not only the main event but all of the little intricate touches that go into the big day. Being able to capture a brilliant picture is only half the job of a good wedding photographer though, the other half being personable, flexible and seamlessly fitting in with the whole day, whilst still capturing every image possible. It is here that Andy really does provide the complete package as not only are his images perfect, but he’s a very genuine guy who is so easy to get on with we felt like we’d known him for years on the day. We couldn’t recommend Andy more highly and the fact that his pictures of our wedding have featured in The Times, Perfect Wedding magazine and numerous other websites show that there isn’t a better wedding photographer out there"

Pieter & Maureen
Andy was an absolute star from start to finish. We really wanted a low key, super relaxed, fun wedding without all of the fuss of the standard formal wedding photoshoot that you see time and time again and Andy delivered big time.
Andy came to the venue before the day and did a walk around with us. We went through all of our options which was extremely reassuring to know that he was on the same page as us, it also helps that he's actually pretty funny so this made life very easy! On the actual day, we barely noticed that he was there and 99.9% of his shots were all natural of people laughing and having a good time. He kept the group shots to a minimum for us and there wasn't any fuss to get what he wanted to shoot.
Andy really went the extra mile for us and I couldn't recommend him enough. He was professional, fun and his photos are exactly what we were after so we couldn't really have asked for much more. Fully recommend.
