Enjoy your wedding. I'll handle the photos.
Hello, I'm Andrew. I'm a wedding photographer based in Sheffield, working across Yorkshire and the UK since 2019, from Manchester and Liverpool to Edinburgh.
The idea behind everything I do is in that headline. Your wedding should be something you get to enjoy, not something you spend managing, so I take the photography off your hands, and that starts well before the day. By the time it arrives we'll have talked it through, the timeline will have been planned with your venue and suppliers, and any questions along the way will have been answered on a dedicated WhatsApp thread as they came up.
On the day itself, that means you can mostly forget I'm there. I stay close to what's happening rather than directing it, in amongst your friends and family. The portraits are kept short, a stroll around your venue of choice, so you're back with your guests before they've missed you. More than one couple has told me their guests thought I was a friend of theirs.
Handling the photos doesn't stop when I pack up, either. Each photograph is edited by me, and the gallery you receive is a visual story of the day as it was, without a hundred duplicates, and, if you'd like it as something to hold, albums and prints are made right here in Yorkshire.
That's the same for every couple, whoever you are and whatever your wedding looks like. I'm part of the LGBTQ+ community myself, and everyone is welcome here (except racists and homophobes... you guys can walk by).
If that sounds like what you're looking for, the wedding stories on my website show what it looks like in practice.

Experience
What's it actually like having you at our wedding?
Most of the time, you won't notice me much. I stay close to whatever's happening, keep an eye on what's about to, and only step in when something needs organising, like the group photos. More than one couple has told me their guests assumed I was one of their friends.
We're not comfortable in front of a camera. Is that a problem?
It's the most common thing couples tell me, so you're in good company. Portraits take about half an hour across the whole day, in two short breaks, and they're mostly a walk and a chance to talk to each other properly. If I do ask you to do something, it'll be something simple to do, not a pose to hold.
Do we need to give you a shot list?
No. We'll go through the day together a few weeks before, and I'll ask who matters to you, so I know who to look out for. The only list I'll ask for is the group photos, and keeping that to around five groupings means you're not away from your guests for long.
How do we get to know each other before the day?
Usually with a video call first, or a coffee if you're near Sheffield. Once you've booked, there's a WhatsApp group for questions as they come up, and a planning call a few weeks before the wedding, where we write up a plan for the day together so we're both working from the same version.
What will you wear?
Clothes...
Something I can work in all day: usually chinos or jeans, trainers and an overshirt. I'll be on my feet, kneeling, crouching and occasionally standing on a chair for most of the day, so I dress for that rather than as a guest.
Do you photograph small weddings and elopements?
Yes. A three-hour booking suits a small ceremony and a meal, or an elopement, and gets the same care as a full day. I've photographed elopements in York and Whitby, and small weddings in town halls from Wakefield to Sheffield.
How many photos will we get?
I don't give a number, because a target is an incentive to keep weaker photos just to reach it. I edit every photograph myself, take out the near-duplicates, and keep everything worth keeping, which is always enough to tell the story of your day.
When will we see our photos?
A set of highlights arrives within one to two weeks, along with a few prints as a thank-you, and your full gallery follows within eight to ten weeks. It comes with unlimited downloads and a licence to print wherever you like.
What happens if something goes wrong?
I'm insured, I carry spare cameras and lenses, and two copies of every memory card stay with me until the photographs are backed up. If I were ever too ill to work, I'm part of several networks of photographers I've worked alongside, so there'd be someone I trust to step in.
Do you travel?
Yes. Travel is included within two and a half hours of Sheffield, which covers most of the North and the Midlands, and I've photographed weddings from Liverpool to Edinburgh. For anywhere further, including abroad, we'll agree travel as part of your quote.
