Hi, I’m Andrew, the alternative, creative, coffee-powered wedding photographer from the North.

I’m an observer at heart, an introvert with the ability to stand in front of a crowd and tell a joke to get a great smile.

I began my photography journey with a 35mm film SLR and a love of storytelling. Through street photography, I found my love for contrast and dynamic light and took that to my wedding photography style. I've been shooting weddings professionally for 4 years. I still shoot film, I love black and white photography and am looking to bring both to my wedding portfolio in the coming year.
