Andrea Simmons Photography

s in May of 2023. From our very first conversation with Andrea she was polite, professional, willing to work around our schedules and accommodations and overall just a pleasure to work with. We traveled across the country for our engagement photos and Andrea travelled to meet us, and showed us some areas she knew of to take photos. They turned out beautiful, as did all of our photos in all of the venues she shot at. She put us at ease at we really had no idea how to take "good" photos and directed us to help bring out the best in our shoot. After the shoot, she edited the pictures in a very short turnaround and presented them back to us well before we expected to see them. We had so many compliments on our photographer and everyone wanted to know who took our photos. The months leading up to our wedding we had multiple conversations with Andrea about timelines, what photos we wanted, what type of candid photos we liked and so much more. She provided us a full booklet of her previous wedding work with different venues, ideas, tips and tricks to get the most out of the photos and common wedding timelines and multiple options on how to fit in everything we wanted. When it came time for the wedding, she reached out about a week before letting us know that she had booked herself for 8 hours of shooting on our wedding and only charged us for 7 hours, she said it was her mistake and to think of it as a wedding gift. We would have gladly paid for that time, but Andrea continued to go out of her way to be the best vendor we hired for the wedding. On the day of, her and her partner were fantastic, got thousands of great photos, shot us at the venue and as well as our first look location and another venue close by. The edited photos we got back were incredible, and we are still getting compliments on them and people wondering who took our photos and how we found such an awesome photographer. My advice to anyone planning a wedding or a special event is this. The day flies by and you're hopefully left with great memories and great photographs. If you book with Andrea, I guarantee you won't have to worry about the photographs. Dealing with wedding vendors was a nightmare for the most part, but my spouse and I both agree that if we had to do it again, Andrea would be the very first call we'd make, as she was far away the best to work with. She is not just an incredible photographer but an excellent editor, with a great eye for detail and lighting / shot location and can make any sort of setup look absolutely stunning. She is worth every penny and so much more, and I would recommend her and her work for any occasion you want to remember. You may find cheaper and you may find more expensive photographers, but I bet you won't find any better.

wedding photos when we came back up in October 2012. And I can only say that they were breathtaking. We had a dark romantic wedding and she was able to capture every aspect of my vision. She had our previews the next day and an extended preview within days to come. She was attentive professional and overall amazing and I couldn’t say anything better about her she was amazing!

gaged in 2017 I knew I had to reach out to her and WOW she has just gotten better and better! We did an engagement shoot with her and with that little preview we could not wait for the wedding day! My husband and I met with her to discuss how the day would go and she really put our minds at ease, we knew she was going to catch every moment. I always thought I would have to bring a huge list to give to my wedding photographer so that I would get all the right photos, but with andrea I really had no worries! She is professional yet so down to earth and easy talk to. Our wedding day (5/26/18) was 90 degrees and humid, she came early and even stayed longer than she was supposed to! I truly can't thank her enough!!
