YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

I am a Professional Photographer with over 25 years of experience behind the camera. Photography has been my lifelong passion, and I'm excited to bring that love and expertise to my wedding photography. Over the years, I've captured countless moments across different genres, from family shoots to portrait work and documenting the beautiful, spontaneous moments that make weddings so special.

My Professional Journey  -  As a Fellow of the BIPP (British Institute of Professional Photography), I have dedicated my career to mastering the Art of Photography. My work has been recognised nationally and internationally, with over 20 awards, including the prestigious New York Photography Award. These accolades represent years of hard work and a deep commitment to the craft of photography.

While I've had the privilege of working with world-renowned brands like The Royal Ballet, The Royal Opera House, Conran Design Group, Fortnum & Mason and capturing images of celebrities. However, nothing quite compares to the joy of photographing a wedding. Weddings are filled with emotion, excitement, and authenticity—the very qualities I strive to capture in every photograph. My ability to capture these emotions sets my wedding photography apart and makes it a valuable addition to any couple's special day.

Let’s Make Your Memories Last a Lifetime!

" With years of experience behind the lens, I’ve honed the skill of blending into the background, ensuring your day unfolds naturally while I discreetly document the story as it happens. Every wedding is unique, and I believe your photos should be too. My goal is to create a visual narrative that is as individual as your love, filled with the joy, laughter, and even the occasional tear that makes your day unforgettable.

So, whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, you can trust me to not just take photos, but to capture the very essence of your wedding with honesty, creativity, and a keen eye for detail."  -  Andy

"We met with Andy before the wedding to discuss what we wanted. We discussed the shots that were important to us especially a picture of my husband’s face as I entered the church. We also discussed important people that we wanted photos with on the day. Prior to the wedding Andy also spoke to our vicar to discuss the church and how he was planning to work. Unfortunately, our vicar was against Andy taking photos during the ceremony, but this didn’t stop him from getting the shot of my husband when I walked in!  Outside the church he made sure we got all the group shots, then we spent time with him inside the church getting photos of just us."   Laura
