Andrea Rodway Photography

e wedding day schedule along with our wedding planner. She thought of the little things that never even crossed our minds and she made sure that we got photos with all of our guests. Especially my 90 year old grandmother who left early and has since passed away. Looking at my photos with her bring me to tears. Andrea's work stands out among photographers because she truly cares about us as people and not just clients. In the crazy time leading up to the wedding she checked in with us to actually see how we were doing and if we needed to vent or just have someone listen. As random as it sounds, even though we hadn't known her for a long time ... her calm presence 1 million percent helped me on our wedding day. We absolutely will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives and we can't thank her enough!

the radar on our wedding day still leaves me speechless. We were truly amazed at her professionalism and work ethic. Everyone absolutely loved her! I’ve already referred two of my bridesmaids! Andrea we love our photos and we can’t thank you enough for making our day amazing! Can’t wait to see you again!

n following her for a long time and FINALLY it was my turn to find my photographer for our wedding day! Her work absolutely speaks for itself. The colors, the lighting, it’s just so romantic and perfect! I love every single image. When I emailed her, she asked to do a quick call and I know it’s so much easier to just email or text. But I loved that she actually wanted to get to know us as a couple. We weren’t in the same state, so we did a video chat and shared a glass of wine virtually! We talked about how we met, what was important to us, and our vision for the day. I loved it. If you want that extra mile, this girl will literally have vendor recommendations, bridal shop recommendations and she met several times with our planner. We just can’t thank you enough. She even drove us around for our engagement session! We took her recommendations on venue choices too because I didn’t want a dark and gloomy reception space. I wanted something that would be romantic and still have that light and airy vibe. I just can’t tell you all enough how much we love our photos. Andrea is such a kind person and we will love these images forever. They’re absolutely timeless and we are beyond happy with them!

tremely relaxed in front of the camera. I was afraid we’d end up with a ton of “Chandler Bing” photos where my husbands smile is absolutely awful. But he looks amazing! Andrea is so kind and warm, an absolute artist, professional, and went above and beyond on our day. She even drove us around herself so we could get to all of our locations we wanted photos at! Our wedding was a day that I could live over and over again and we can’t stop looking at our photos! Thank you so much girl! Love, James and Adam

just say, she wanted endless romance to show in our photos and that’s exactly what we found when we found Andrea on Instagram. I can’t tell you how many hashtags we searched under and how many profiles we viewed until we found her. Andrea’s photos truly speak for themselves. The colors are stunning, we felt 100% confident on our wedding day after our engagement session and she was so sweet and outgoing with our friends and family throughout the day. Not only is she a true professional, but on a personal note (and I apologize if this is too personal) we found out through mutual friends that she and her husband had lost her baby just a week before our wedding. Having recently gone through that with my now wife, we were utterly devastated and couldn’t believe that she was able to smile and completely kick ass at our wedding. You are so full of strength and we can’t thank you enough for being there for us. We are forever grateful and will always cherish our day.

AY. She stole my time, my memories, & my photos. It has been 5 months since my wedding & she has deactivated her social media accounts. Based on recent reviews, I can see why. Our wedding photos were due to us November 31. December 3, she sent us a gallery that had HUNDREDS of photos missing. It is February 1 & she has ignored me for months. She has all the photos of my dress, every photo of my mother & I getting ready. Beyond that, who knows, as the gallery was so incomplete! She asked me for a list of must have photos, she did not capture a single one. There is not ONE single usable formal portrait of my husband & I, we will have to have our photos redone. On the wedding day itself, she was 45 MINUTES LATE, & because of that, she didn’t utilize the scheduled portrait time. In our gallery, she has ELEVEN (yes, 11) photos of my shoes, but not one formal photo of my husband, my son, & I together. How is that possible??? We also got married in a zoo. The location was gorgeous. You wouldn’t know it, though. She told me she “scouted” the location & had a list of places she wanted to shoot, however when we got to the venue, she spent 30+ minutes having our venue coordinator show her around. Not a single one of our photos included an animal, sign, enclosure, etc. There was nothing to indicate our unique venue. It was clear she had never stepped foot there. More than half of the gallery she delivered us was in B&W. This was NOT in our contract or discussed. She did not disclose this because I had mentioned to her I hate B&W photos & she knew if she told us she would only be able to shoot our venue in B&W, we would go elsewhere. She actually told me in an email that she had multiple flashes/lights so she could shoot in every situation. The worst part is she claims to have shot a majority of the wedding in B&W FILM, so the few photos we do have cannot even be converted into color. She has NO photos of our guests or reception, unless they were on the dance floor, nor a single photo of us with guests... even though we did a 45 minute long receiving line. There is one photo of the cake, which she took backwards. We paid for a 2nd shooter (who left early), I’m not even sure if Andrea even got the photos he took. I’m sure he was able to capture some things we haven’t seen. From the beginning we were warned to stay away from her. Our engagement photos were so late we couldn’t send a save the date card. Our first round of wedding photos were so late we couldn’t send a Christmas card. Every single time she missed a deadline, she was sick, her family was sick, someone died, she was hacked. I truly don’t mean that to sound heartless, but either she has the absolute worst luck in the entire world, or all if this was simply not true. On the flip side of that, my brother was in a horrific accident, & she texted me every single day while I was at his bedside, while he was in a COMA, asking me for more money. We were naive. We never thought that we would be disrespected or made fools of. Read this review over and over, I beg you. I have spent hours crying & many sleepless nights praying I will get the rest of my photos. No family deserves to feel this way, have these regrets, or have these moments taken from them! sara.bachman@icloud.com

before. We grabbed drinks and dinner together to go over everything. It was just a wonderful couple of days and we couldn't have done it without her! Saying our vows in Colorado in one of the most beautiful locations on earth was just a dream. My husband and I cherish our photos and when we decided to elope we knew we wanted amazing photos and we got exactly that! I'm still in tears looking through them!

ty photos soon! We can't thank you enough for helping with our timeline as well as logistics through out the day! We love you!

n contract by not providing our photos. She seemed nice but now we are out both our money and wedding photos. She has been claiming she is sick in her sparse updates on instagram but even then she should either delegate the communication to her current clients or do it on her own as we have absolutely nothing as of my writing this.

ype of response back from the photographer. We’ve tried contacting her through phone, text, email, social media, etc... It’s heartbreaking, but it’s the truth.

know. Truly the best!

we wanted. She was the perfect balance between keeping us on track for pictures and going with the flow (especially when our outside ceremony got rained out...she brought cute umbrellas for our photos!) We loved working with Andrea so much we asked her to shoot our holiday card with our fur baby this fall. She is fun, relaxed, totally professional, and worth every penny!

She's so easy to work with, too. We loved having her as our wedding photographer. I highly highly recommend her!

they worked with us that really made the difference. Bonus points to Andrea for the way she helped coordinate the wedding party and keep them on schedule with each part of our day.

to Andrea and she made us feel extremely comfortable being photographed. We absolutely loved our engagement and wedding photos. Since our wedding, Andrea has continued to photograph our family milestones, include maternity photos and family photos. She is more than our photographer, she is our dear friend. We highly recommend Andrea for her professionalism and her ability to connect with her clients. We most definitely plan to have Andrea continue to capture our family memories! Sarah and Dan

red our personalities. Our portraits were absolutely stunning and were even featured in numerous wedding blogs. While her work truly speaks for itself, Andrea managed to add those special little touches that made us, our family and our friends both feel and look our best.

h her during our engagement photo shoot. She was personable and helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She even loved that we brought our pup along for the shoot! At the wedding, she worked very well with our wedding coordinator and helped us stay on schedule. We absolutely loved the pictures. Not only do we love reliving our fabulous day, the quality and details of the photos are amazing! We highly recommend Andrea. We even used her recently for a fall mini session!

yle. On top of all of that, she is fun and energetic and immediately inspires comfort and confidence. Somehow, she still also manages to be invisible when you just want to enjoy your day. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer and couldn't be happier with the memories she created of the day.

lmed with wedding planning and she's on top of all questions and advice which I definitely appreciate. We did our engagement photos in early November and she made my fiancé and I feel perfectly comfortable all day long. She gave us good directions which was helpful in what can be an awkward or unusual circumstance for some couples (in other words, excessive PDA and mushy poses :) ) . She even worked with our pup to get some really adorable shots - since we won't be able to bring her to the wedding - it was so awesome that Andrea was so willing to help us take a few shots with our favorite pup and include her in our celebration. The photos came out beautifully and she worked quickly so that we could even include them in our holiday card and save the date! Highly recommend Andrea Rodway Photography!

ng the romance and magic of the day. She is so easy to work with and made us feel completely comfortable while she snapped away. Her fun bubbly personality had us laughing the whole time.

pe of photos you want to see. She worked effortlessly during our wedding acting as not only our photographer but also as a day coordinator. She placed people in correct tables and made sure that the photos we wanted, was what was being delivered. She really knows her lighting! (our engagement shot was at 8am and the way the sunrise hit us was magically captured) and her angles. Most photographers come take photos and leave but Andrea connects with you on a personal level and continued to stay in touch. We are so happy with her that we have continued to use her for every major event and we can not wait to see her awesome work of art!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

ding photography. Packages starting at $6k- OMG! I found Andrea through a mutual friend and I am so glad I hired her immediately when I saw her 8 hr package for $2k that included engagement photos. ANDREA IS INCREDIBLE! Not only is she a great value, she is extremely talented and she is a great person to work with and be around. Our engagement photos were taken at the National Harbor during peak tourist season; Andrea jedi mind tricked all the tourists to stay out of photos. It looked like we were there by ourselves having a romantic date. She has an eye for natural lighting that made our sunset engagement photos swoon worthy. Our wedding day photos exceeded all of my expectations. The detail shots of the rings and stationary looked like it could be in a bridal magazine. She got amazing bride and groom first look and couple portraits set in romantic cobblestone alleyways of Old Town Alexandria. She knew exactly where to go and even called the uber for us. Everyone knows that family wedding portraits are the worst part of every wedding- Andrea did a fantastic job at herding all the uncles and cousins REAL fast. She paid attention to everyone in the group shots. We even had a group shot of all the wedding guests immediately after the ceremony- she directed it all professionally and calmly. We are so impressed with and would highly recommend her to anyone! We got married on Nov 11 and within DAYS she gave us a sneak peak of the wedding photos so that we could have holiday and thank you cards made. I cannot wait to see the rest of the wedding photos!
