Wedding Photography

I’m a natural storytelling wedding photographer based near Coventry

Weddings - Warwickshire, Midlands and Across the UK

Candid and unposed images

Storytelling Wedding Photographer

With over 20 years in the photography industry, it has provided me with the experience to develop a unique storytelling and natural style. My approach is unobtrusive and discreet, blending in with your wedding guests. Often the best photos I take are when they don’t realise they’ve been taken.

I’ll tell the story of your day, through candid, unposed images known as documentary photography. This allows you to enjoy your wedding day without being fussed. Family photos are important for most couples so I will efficiently direct group photographs and of course some special couple portraits during the day and evening.

Over 20 years of experience

SHOOTING IN Coventry, Warwickshire, THE Midlands and throughout the UK

Full attention and dedicatioN

Full-time job

I’ve photographed nearly a thousand weddings and love being part of such a special day. Every wedding receives my full attention and dedication. This is my full-time job, not a side income like many other photographers. You can expect professional results. I also have several associate photographers, ensuring we’re never short of coverage.

My coverage can span the entire day and evening, from preparations to night shots. Please see my packages below for details on hours of coverage. Couples receive amazing images, providing memories for a lifetime. Full-day coverage includes an online password-protected gallery of 700-1000 edited images for you and your guests to view.

Every wedding is unique, so if you’d like a tailored package with less coverage or are getting married in the low season, Monday to Thursday, I’m happy to accommodate. Drop me an email to discuss.

I’M INTERESTED – GET IN TOUCH

He managed to truly capture the atmosphere of the day

“We had an early wedding so Andy had a long day but he was there from the prep until late into the evening to take some sunset and dusk shots. He managed to truly capture the atmosphere of the day and when we look back through the pictures it is like experiencing it all over again. He was very professional through out the day and we would highly recommend him.”

RACHEL AND RICHARD

Andy, what an amazing, genuine guy.

“Andy is professional, smart and super friendly. Andy is so kind and made us feel at ease throughout the whole day. We had a sneak peak of our photos straight after the wedding and received them within 10 days of the wedding which we were super chuffed with the turnaround. Andy you captured some incredible moments for us, so many compliments about how natural your photos are, you captured every quirk of our relationship and we cannot thank you enough.”

SOPHIE

We would highly recommend him

“We booked Andy for our wedding in November at Warwick House and couldn’t have been happier with the beautiful photos. Andy was professional and helpful and made everyone feel comfortable whilst he was taking the hundreds of photos! We’ve finally managed to choose the photos for our album and can’t wait to see it. Andy is extremely talented and we would highly recommend him”

NIGEL

Friendly and approachable

“What sets Andy apart is not only his photography skills but also his ability to make you feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. He was a calming presence, and his friendly and approachable demeanour put us at ease. Additionally, Andy’s turnaround time for delivering the final photos was impressively fast. Thanks for the great photos Andy!

VASILIS

Captured the day beautifully

“I could not recommend anyone better! Andy took time before the wedding to listen to our vision and what we wanted – which we really appreciated. He was very friendly and we were impressed by his professionalism. Andy comes with a wealth of experience and his expertise was clearly demonstrated by the amazing photos he took.”

Asian Weddings

I cover all types of Asian weddings across the UK, which can be spread over 1-3 days. I tailor a package depending on how many hours or days are required and if you’d like one or two photographers. I’d love to hear from you and about your wedding plans.

FAQ

Have a read through some of the common questions I’m often asked. Anything else? just ask.

My popular Gold package is 10 hours coverage so for most weddings includes the preparations, ceremony, family photos, bride and groom photos, wedding breakfast, speeches, through to the cake cutting first dance, partying and twilight night shots to finish. Plus lots of natural candid shots of guests throughout the day. I do have smaller 4 hour, 8 hour or larger 12 hour packages too. Please see all of my packages above.

Yes, the images will go online for you, family and friends to see. This is password protected. professionally printed photos can also be purchased directly from the gallery and delivered right to your door.

Don’t worry most people dislike having their photo taken and haven’t had professional photographs taken before and believe they are not photogenic. However, with my style of natural reportage photography, beautiful shots are captured without you even being aware I’m there, which can make for some of the best pictures. I do take couples off for some special photos, although I’m very easy going and put you at ease. I give you direction to make it very easy and there isn’t lots of cheesy looking at the camera photos.

I provide an online gallery and you can select your favourites and I’ll get to work on a design for you. Once designed, I send you a PDF design to approve. There is no limit on the number of revisions that you can make. Once you are entirely happy I send it for production in Italy which take 4-5 weeks.

I travel both nationally in the UK and internationally for weddings. In the UK, travel is charged at 40p per mile in excess of 50 miles from my address to the wedding venue. For weddings where a flight is necessary, expenses include taxis to/from the airport, the flight and accommodation.

With our unpredictable weather in the UK, my policy is to always be prepared in case it does rain. I always bring a white umbrella should there be some rain and it can actually make for some great photos as you will see in my gallery. It doesn’t normally rain all day and so there are usually opportunities to get outdoors. However, if it chucks it down all day, then I also have studio lighting which I can easily set up indoors for some professional photos of the bride and groom and the family photos.

I shoot on Canon professional cameras using only the best Canon ‘L’ Series lenses. I always have 2- 3 cameras and lots of lenses, so plenty of spare kits in the unlikely event that one goes down.

Every photographer retains the copyright of the images. However, you have an option to purchase the printing rights of all the images allowing you to print/enlarge the images for your own personal use. This is the USB box set I offer of all the images. Note: Not to be used for any commercial use.

Normally 2-4 weeks after the wedding (depending on busy time of the year), all edited photos will be ready to view via an online gallery which is password protected.

The number of pictures that I take may vary depending on the type and time of wedding, amount of people, the venue, the lighting, etc. I generally provide approx 700-1000 edited images of the day. If the preparations or the evening extension are not required then this may be a little less.

I offer beautiful stylish storybook albums made in Italy by the premier wedding album manufacturer Graphi Studio. I have many samples albums for you to look through. Please see examples of wedding albums here.

I design your album and send out a PDF design for your approval before going in to production. Parent albums, guest books and miniature books are also available.

Here is a list of the popular family/group photos I often cover. I normally suggest 6-8 group photos.

1: B and G with both sets of parents
2: B and G with the brides immediate family
2: B and G with the grooms immediate family
3. B and G with the bridesmaids
4. B and G with the groomsmen
5: B and G with all of the bridal party
6: B and G with close friends
7: B and G with everyone

In all my time photographing weddings, I’ve never had to cancel due to ill health. However should the unthinkable happen, I have my colleague Rich who works on lots of weddings for me. Failing that, I have a strong network of photographers with whom I have worked with previously and can call upon. I will always do my utmost to make sure you are not let down.

Yes. I have both public liability insurance for £2m and £75k indemnity insurance.

For the majority of weddings I tend to work alone. I do however offer the option of having a second photographer for large weddings if you wish to have an extra angle on things or to ensure shots of both the bride and groom preparations. Majority of weddings I work alone and in doing so am able to be very discreet and float around capturing lots of magic moments.

A warm meal or sandwiches helps to keep me working at my optimum. If you decide not to feed me, please let me know in advance so I’m prepared as often some venues like barns don’t offer a bar meals for me to buy something. Please remember, I’m there from preps to the partying so it’s a long day without a decent meal.

Do you have any other questions?

If you have any other questions or concerns please contact me.
