The Experience

 Kindness. Empathy. Service. Legacy.

 
 
 

 My Core Values

  • I believe each and every person should be treated with kindness no matter what race, gender, sexuality, or religion. I’m here to document YOUR unique story. Love is love. Treating people with respect is what I stand for. Everyone has a place here at the table and are welcome. When I work with you and your partner, I value you two as genuine friends and will treat you with the utmost kindness.

  • Some people are naturally used to being in front of the camera more than others. I’m here to put you at ease and focus on the moments that really matter. I won’t force you to do anything you aren’t comfortable with. Before your wedding day, I really make the extra effort to get to know your personality, your relationship, and your unique story so it shines brightly through the photos I take. When you get back your photos I want you to feel like it truly represents you and your relationship you have with one another.

  • From your first point of initial contact, I want to ensure you feel heard and seen. Throughout my process, you’ll know that I got you and I’m here for you. After booking, you’ll receive a timeline for what to expect from me, vendor recommendations, different tips, and much more. You won’t be left in the dust until your wedding day. I’m here for you every step of the way. On your wedding day, you’ll have someone who anticipates your every need and has your back. You deserve to have someone on your team!

  • One of my favorite things as a kid and still today is looking through old family photographs and VHS tapes. The history behind a single photo, the story it carries, and the people you love most froze in a moment in time. I want you to get back to that feeling when you look at your own pictures from your wedding day. Imagine your grandchildren flipping through your wedding album and you being able to recall everything that happened. Giving the gift of family legacy is truly at the heart of why I do what I do. Nothing lasts, and it’s a privilege that I get to document the people you love most.

 

What to expect

  • Step 01

    You fill out the contract form and you’re keen for me to be your photographer or videographer for your special day. Heck yeah! You’ll most likely hear from me within 24 hours via email with a video message being pumped to document your wedding. We’ll set up an initial meeting at a coffee shop if you’re local or a zoom call if you’re out of town to genuinely get to know you two as a couple. My favorite thing during our first meeting is hearing your individual love story and what makes it special. We’ll also chat about what you value most with wedding photography so we can pick the right package for you and figure out together what makes sense for your wedding day.

  • Step 02

    You want to book! I just ask for an initial deposit and a signed contract to secure your spot on my calendar to make sure no one else gets it! We’ll do this all online so it’s easy and convenient for you. After that is all done, you’ll receive a timeline for what to expect from me. We’ll have a series of meetings and have chats about what you’re envisioning for your wedding. This will help me focus on what really matters to you. I want you to be confident leading up to your wedding day. I’m here for you!

  • Step 03

    It’s wedding day! This is the day you’ve been dreaming of so live it up! I’m there to capture those emotions, all the feelings, and bring your story to life. After it’s all said and done, within a day you’ll get close to 25 photos from me of all the glorious moments. Feel free to share them with family, friends, and everywhere on social media!

  • Step 04

    Beyond the wedding I’ll be giving you updates on the process of your photos/video. I always aim to get your photos back to you before the 6 week mark! Once you get your gallery back, feel free to take in all the photos and slideshow to relive your whole day again. I do a lot of sessions with my past wedding couples so reach out and let’s do it all over again!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! I’m based in Hamilton, Ohio (Cincinnati area) but travel all across the United States. I’ve done multiple weddings out of state and I’m always so pumped when you ask me to document your adventure anywhere in the world! Traveling has been a passion of mine since I was a little kid. I’m not stopping now!

  • I send back all of your photos through an online gallery service called Pic-Time. In your gallery you will have the option to download high resolution or web size versions of the photos. I always send you a slideshow put to music too in order to have the best possible viewing experience. It’s so fun to get your wedding back and relive your whole day!

  • Yes! In a day in age where everything is digital, I think having physical copies of your photos are very important. You have the option to buy prints and make albums right from the online gallery service I use.

  • Most of my packages are based upon hours and the amount of photographers present at your wedding, but each of them have separate goodies in them! I also have ala carte options that will be available such as filming, engagement sessions, video books, etc.

  • Yes, I offer it! I do have confidence that I can capture the essence of your wedding day just by myself, but second shooters can be very helpful. My team can essentially be two places at once and photograph more moments that matter to you. I usually suggest having a second shooter at your wedding if you have close to 150 guests. I always bring someone I trust and that is usually my wife Tori or one of my best friends, Connor. Even though they take the photos, everything will be edited in my editing style.

  • This usually depends on the season, but for weddings I always try to get your whole gallery back before the 8 week mark. I know it’s no fun waiting for your photos, that’s why I always send out 50-75 sneak peeks within a few days afterwards for you to share with your family and friends. For video, there is a bit more that goes behind the editing process in order to tell your story the absolute best I can. I never like to rush and compromise the quality of your film. I always try to give your film back before the 10 week mark. I also send teaser videos in selected film packages! If you'd like your photos/video sooner, please ask me about the rush fee.

  • I always try to take a photojournalistic approach to a wedding day. I want to be there to document what happens so you can relive those moments in years ahead. My photos have an intimate and candid feel to them. I want to bring out the true emotions of you and not make you do anything on your wedding day or engagement session that makes you feel uncomfortable. My editing style is not light and airy, but not dark and moody. I aim for a timeless look that is inspired by film photography.

  • I only take on a few per year, so yes, but these spots are very limited so reach out to see if I’m available!

  • I want nothing more for when you get your photos back to really love them. I really think everyone has the ability to look great in photos, but I want the experience to be more about you having fun with your partner behind the lens. I incorporate more prompts than posing. I don’t want you to feel super stiff and uncomfortable. I like lots of movement so you don’t have to be worrying about what to do with your hands, body, etc. I don’t worry so much about posing, but rather trying to tell a story of your relationship.

  • For weddings they start at $2950 for 8 hours. Elopements start at $1500. Couple’s shoots start out at $400. If you’re planning a smaller wedding and don’t need 8 hours of coverage, prices will be a bit lower! Reach out for details!

  • A signed contract and deposit! Then we are totally official!

 “Andrew was my videographer for my October 2021 wedding. I can not say enough great things about him & his work. My wedding video is beyond incredible, he captured myself, my husband, our kids, friends & family so perfectly. He really truly captured every inch of happiness we had on our special day. I’ve watched my video about a million times and It never gets old, I still cry every.single.time! And beyond the video itself, he is so easy and fun to work with. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable, we forgot a camera was even there! By the end of our wedding, Andrew felt like a friend to us! He is the best around and I couldn’t recommend him enough!”
