Andrea Hallgren Photography

icture wise for your special day. We did an engagement shoot to get to know her and practice posing, which was one of the best parts of our wedding planning process. Andrea is also very reasonably priced with wonderful package options. More importantly she is such a wonderful person who made me feel so much more relaxed on my wedding day. Andrea kept an eye on the forecast during the week leading up and called me the day before to form a backup plan in case of rain. Knowing that she was on top of things really set me at ease. She personally went out the day before the wedding and scoped out the locations to look for a back up plans and make sure she was well acquainted with the lighting and scenery. Andrea also went above and beyond with our photos staying longer than we expected at the reception. At first I did not really care about having reception pictures but in the end they were some of my favorite. Our guests also absolutely loved her because she took any group photos they wanted, which made them feel more important and cared for as our guests. She was always very responsive, easy to work with, accommodating, and very fast at returning photos. All in all she is just an incredible person and I am so thankful that she is who I had photograph my day. It’s important to pick a photographer who you get along with and enjoy being around because you will spend your entire wedding day with them taking photos. I could not have picked a better photographer for us for just that reason and I can’t say enough good things about her!

xtremely professional but also fun and helpful. She seized every opportunity to get a great shot! The photos turned out beautiful! Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.

ds. Our family pictures a few months before the wedding were perfect to help us click even more before the big day!! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. We couldn’t have done it without her. A huge thanks to Andrea for her talent, patience, and help to make our day so perfect!!

as so fun. Very professional and trustworthy. Highly recommend. Love her so much! She’s an amazing person.

exactly what we were looking for. I can't recommend her enough; the photos were beautiful and I know we'll love having them forever.

ea was able to capture so many beautiful moments and took a lot of pictures. She was very flexible, easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable. We cannot rave enough about our experience! We highly recommend her!!

so hired her for our welcome party (which we did instead of a rehearsal dinner, the night before our wedding). It was so much fun working with her. We are having trouble picking which wedding photos to put in our album, because we love so many of them. She was the perfect photographer to capture our special day.

the day of our wedding. We planned our wedding from out of state and she worked with us to meet while we were in town or have phone calls when needed. Her photography is so beautiful. It rained on our wedding day, but she managed to catch the little light there was and make our photos look bright and happy. Speaking of rain, she came prepared with umbrellas, special gear for her equipment, and even a sheet for under my train. She made sure to catch all the important shots and herded our family when necessary, but also caught some beautiful candid shots and disappeared into the background during the important moments of our ceremony and reception. Our photos are stunning. Andrea was one of the best choices we made for our wedding day!

autiful photos of the entire day from start to finish.

he had been the photographer for a wedding she was in a few years earlier and said the pictures from that wedding still stood out to her as the most beautiful wedding pictures she had ever seen. I spoke with Andrea and we chatted for almost an hour! She was so easy to talk to and understood exactly what I was looking for. She has a great eye for capturing special candid moments, portraits, and group pictures. I love re-living our day through the photographs.

ons for photos before the ceremony. It was a beautiful, bright day when we started, but after about an hour of photos it got cloudy, windy, and stormy! The lighting completely changed and it poured rain. Andrea was great, and dealt with the weather like a pro. She had us move further under an overhang so we wouldn't get wet while she kept shooting and even got rained on. The best part was seeing the photos later - I can't tell a difference from when we started to when I know it was raining. Excellent quality. For the ceremony and the reception, Andrea mixed right in with the guests and got some great action shots. I've been to some weddings where the photographers are all up in the couple's space and block the view for guests. Andrea and her assistant managed to be at the right places at the right time without intruding. At the reception, I'd be talking to a group of people and think "I wish I could get a photo with them" and Andrea was right there! She gave me tons of photos to review and it's been easy to share them with family. The hard part is picking only a few for an album!

I was going for and helped me navigate through the day with all of the crazy nerves! I couldn't have hoped for a better person to have taking photos of my day!

he is able to evoke all this emotion when you look at her pictures. After browsing through her website, we felt like we knew these people in her portfolio! My family is so very important to me, and I wanted to make sure we had a photographer who would capture those intimate moments that we could cherish for the rest of our lives. I knew Andrea would be absolutely perfect! Along with my awesome parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends, I'm fortunate enough to have my Nanny (Mom's Mom) and my Grand-daddy (Dad's Dad) still living and ready to party! Andrea really captured those wonderful candid shots of everyone that I still look at every single day. For those of you who are worrying about your fiancé and how they'll do in front of a camera, not to worry. My husband is not too comfortable in front of a camera, but Andrea made him feel just fine. She's great at letting your "poses" happen naturally, and her work will definitely not date itself. Andrea's work is classic and elegant. If you're looking for pictures with a T-Rex photoshopped in the background, you might want to look elsewhere. :) From the minute Andrea arrives to shoot your wedding day, she's nothing but genuine. She's cool, calm and collected. A true professional. No matter what wedding curveballs get thrown your way, she's there to help make sure your day is perfect! She's an absolute angel, and I cannot thank her enough for everything she did! Please do yourself a favor and go ahead and check this box off your list, and book Andrea. I know you will not be disappointed.

lle was an out-of-state wedding for us but Andrea was available on email, gchat, and phone to talk about everything before the big weekend. She made great recommendations for the photography schedule that made the day go very smoothly, but she also always listened to what we wanted too. She showed up early on wedding day full of enthusiasm and was great to spend the day with! Even friends in the bridal party commented that they knew she was getting great photos because they saw her all over the place at the reception that night. :) I hope we get to work with Andrea again in the future!

d with would not be able to do our wedding due to health issues. He told us that the only person he would recommend to step in was Andrea. She took the time to meet my husband and I personally to discuss what we wanted and to discuss plans for our wedding. She traveled to Pensacola, Fl to photograph for is. She was there to capture the wedding, rehearsal, and the reception. I have never been happier with my photographs than when I got the nearly 2000 images from the 2 days she spent with us. Andrea captured everything perfectly. I can not recommend her services enough. If we have family pictures taken in the future she will be the first person we call. We can not wait to order a wedding photo album from her to add to our wonderful wedding memories!

shoot and our wedding day and our families loved her. Highly recommended.

at!

r day and how we wanted it captured. At the same time, she and her second shooter (who was equally fantastic) took artistic liberties where appropriate to give us an outstanding final product and allow the day to go as smoothly as possible - capturing every detail we didn't even realize we would want captured. Lastly, our wedding album Andrea designed is truly a piece of art. We ultimately chose Andrea because there is not another photographer in the Nashville area who creates a more outstanding way to preserve our pictures. We highly recommend Andrea Hallgren photography - outstanding quality and service for an extremely reasonable price!

s for herself very quickly and came all the way down to Florida to photograph our wedding. She was down there a few days in advance and was constantly touching base with us leading up to the event. She did such a great job during the rehearsal and wedding and is very good at staying in the background. She made sure to capture all the important moments of our day so that we could remember them forever even though some of the details were foggy due to running around and talking to everyone. She even got several shots of some of the events that we missed due to the whirlwind that is a wedding. I highly recommend her for any photography needs you may have!

de us both feel so comfortable and relaxed. She's the best! She gave us great suggestions and directions that looked natural and not overly posed. Our pictures turned out beautifully and we can't wait to work with her again on her wedding day!

ry one in the wedding party and my family had a good time working with her. In March 2013 my good friend (who was one of my bridesmaids) used Andrea as her photographer as well, and again Andrea did a spectacular job there too!

the requests I asked for and came up with fun and unique ideas of her own. I love my photos and my wedding photo site was beautiful and easy to review/purchase. For a late Oct wedding, my photos were ready to review and delivery in time for Christmas too! :) I felt we put extra effort and money into finding the perfect photographer for our special day and Andrea proved us well!

e happy.

s and enormous selection. The price was very reasonable as well, especially considering that Andrea had to travel out to the sticks twice where my family's farm is located. She made Ross and I feel very comfortable with her. We just kind of forgot that she was there and that we were being photographed and we reverted to our natural selves. None of the photos looks posed or unnatural. Andrea is much more than a photographer though. You will have moments as a bride where, no matter how much you love your fiancé, soon to be in laws, bridesmaids, family, etc, you want to tell them to shove it and go sit in a closet by yourself. Andrea, on a couple of chance phone calls, talked me down off the ledge so to speak. She is very patient and calm and was able to herd the cats on my wedding day so that we got all the photos that were important to us. And if all of that doesn't convince you she is the best choice, I had several friends and bridesmaids tell me they would like to get married again just to get wedding pictures like mine. I highly recommend Andrea and her team.

nds looking happy and natural. Andrea is great at making everybody feel comfortable in front of the camera, and at wrangling families for group shots. Our reception candids are awesome, too. They really capture the mood and everybody looks incredible. We have more than 1,000 photos, and they're all so amazing that I don't know how I'll decide which ones to put in the album.

large wedding party and she was great with making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We also had a lot of kids in our wedding and she was great with getting them to cooperate while taking pictures. :) She captured all of the sweet moments that we wanted plus so many more. We could not be happier with all of our pictures! We would definitely recommend Andrea!

d emotional day. Can't wait to see our pics!

r day, she also was great at making our family and friends feel comfortable in front of the camera. This is key when you have a large wedding party. She and her partner did a fantastic job taking all the shots we requested and creatively capturing the site, our guests, and all of the details and decor we spent so many months preparing and planning out. Having hundreds of top-notch images from which to choose, we feel like our once-in-a-lifetime day was not only successfully captured, but in such a way that exceeded our highest expectations. Thanks Andrea!!

e phone, I felt very comfortable with her and she made me feel like a friend and not just a client! I knew when I met her that I could relax and be sure that she would not only make me feel comfortable to be myself in the pictures but also know that she would deliver quality work. Her expertise is definetly worth what she charges. I am so happy with the results and they turned out even better than I imagined!!! I also hope that we will be able to have her photograph our family when we have children one day! :)

o capture every second of our wedding day. We had a rather large wedding party, and every person that met her commented on how wonderful she was. Her photos are gorgeous!! I want them all!! I had so much faith and was not worried one bit that should would take beautiful photos. She started photographing our day with all of the bridesmaids getting ready, and continued until we left the reception. LONG DAY!! But she was so positive and excited for us all day. I highly recommend Andrea and her staff. I have told all of my friends what a great experience we had. She was an absolute pleasure to work with!

thing on track. She captured every special moment throughout the day. She really does a wonderful job a catching the real emotions throughout the day.

After the wedding you only have your wonderful memories left, along with your photographs. That’s why it’s crucial to choose an exceptional photographer, and Andrea is exactly that! She is the epitome of professionalism, is extremely organized before and during the wedding, and has a wonderful, personal and gentle style while she is shooting. Her eye for detail could not be better and she ensures nothing is missed. Our wedding photographs are some of the best I have ever seen! They truly look like something out of a professional magazine - she is that good! If I could give Andrea more than 5 starts I would! She is absolutely exceptional and you will love her work for the rest of your happily married life!
