Andy Gaines Photography

A review doesn’t do Andy’s work justice! We chose to have a super small wedding and, at times, I felt guilty that we weren’t inviting more people. That feeling was thrown away completely when we got our photos and started showing them to friends and family. There were tears shed as everyone said how the photos made them feel like they had been there with us. We’re so grateful to Andy for that, for capturing our day so naturally that we can relive it with everyone whenever we want. A truly wonderful person and a incredibly talented photographer. Thank you! Liv and Matt xx

Wow, wow, wow.Andy and Abigail are not only incredible artists with their talent they are incredible people. From the 1st call with Andy where he makes you feel totally at ease, you know that your wedding photography is in very capable hands, from the very detailed and professional admin to the most delicious brownies sent as a thank you for becoming a client to the day itself, this duo are perfection.Our wedding was at 3pm yet Andy & Abigail arrived around 10am to begin capturing everything and when I say everything they stayed with us for the whole entire day until the very end around 1am. This is what I call above and beyond, Andy understands weddings, most importantly he understands people, not only would I highly recommend Andy Gaines photography I would encourage it. I would also recommend you allow him to capture as much of your moments how he sees them through his lenses as I can guarantee its magical.

Andy is an absolute gem. Charming, friendly and fun (to us and all our guests) plus incredibly talented. He worked almost every minute of our entire wedding day and captured photos more wonderful than we ever could have hoped. With his reportage style he seems to be everywhere all the time without you ever noticing (or feeling self conscious of the camera), capturing fleeting moments as well as staging shots in a natural, personal way. I truly don’t know how he does it - he’s got a gift for reading a room and understanding people. I couldn’t recommend Andy highly enough or thank him enough for his work. You’re a superstar, Andy.

We chose Andy Gaines as our photographer for our wedding on 08.08.2022 back in 2020 when we first got engaged. We knew when we first saw his photographs that we wanted to book him and after discussions with him over zoom, we knew for sure.Andy’s photos have the most incredible style to them and he manages to capture moments that are very special and unique. As a person, he is the loveliest man who wanted to make us feel very comfortable and who is willing to do everything he can to make the day perfect. We wanted some additional extras including videography from his (equally lovely) wife Abigail and some parts to be videoed in full and he was able to do this for us. He also asked a lot of questions about what we wanted out of our day and out of our photographs and made sure to accommodate those requests perfectly.On the day, both Andy and Abigail were fantastic: very friendly, putting us both at ease and making us feel very comfortable. They managed to be the perfect balance of invisible during intimate moments and kind and welcoming during discussions with ourselves and guests. They were incredibly professional throughout the entire day and Andy seemed to pre-empt every request we had and got photos that we didn’t even realise that we needed or wanted. They managed the day in many respects and kept us on track!They were also able to fulfil all of our requests in an amazing way, for example we had previously told Andy that we wanted photos with everyone but didn’t want to leave our drinks reception when we were having a good time. On the day, they realised that they could solve this problem by having our pictures taken in a spot within the courtyard where the drinks reception was taking place which was perfect.The preview photos that we have now received are unbelievably stunning and have made us both realise how lucky we were to have such an incredible photographer at our wedding. We can’t wait to see the rest and are sure they will be equally as amazing.Overall, we cannot recommend Andy and Abigail enough for their incredible work. If you want a lovely, dedicated and amazingly talented photographer to capture fantastic moments at your wedding while still having the best and most relaxed day of your life, look no further!

Andy came to our rescue when our previous photographer pulled out a few weeks before our wedding day. He happened to be in France at the time which we saw this as a sign from the universe... we booked immediately and we could not be happier we did! Aside from being an all-round lovely guy, he captured our special day perfectly, delivering the exact documentary style of wedding photography we were after.

Andy & Abigail were an absolute joy to work with from the very first enquiry we sent right up until we received our photos. Their pictures are incredible and everyone commented on how much fun they were as well. Cannot wait to see our full final album and video and relive all the amazing memories! Thank you both x

Andy came to France to capture our wedding day in June of this year. We cannot praise Andy as a person or his work highly enough. From start to finish (consult calls, staying long hours the day of the wedding ensuring to capture all types of shots, editing and printing afterwards etc..) he is a true professional. His work is outstanding and we now have such amazing memories of our special day, we cannot be happier with the end result. Our family and friends keep saying: 'whatever you paid for Andy, it was well worth it'! That's a real compliment!Don't hesitate to work with Andy, you won't be disappointed, he is a lovely person, listens to what you're looking for, makes you feel comfortable of the day (I hate getting my photo taken!) and the end result is of a high quality.

What can we say?? ANDY! You are a star! 5+ Stars! You have captured the feel of our wedding day, and we couldn't have done it without you!! You were integral to leaving us with memories that we didn't even know we had. Thank you for the effortless approach... for being there... for capturing the love and everything else! Jonny and I are absolutely grateful.Layal and Jonny

Andy is a photography genius - and the nicest guy. From the moment we confirmed the date, he made us feel relaxed and as if we are the only couple he knows. His documentary style photography captured our day so perfectly and we could not be happier. The photos are incredible. Andy finds the best light and backgrounds - and then subtly takes us aside to capture artistic and unique photos. He is also a ninja - everywhere and nowhere. He added so much to our day and made it feel truly special. Even how Andy delivered our amazing photo slide show video was done with such care and love - and theatre. We could not recommend Andy more highly. He is truly the best.
