Booking Andy for our wedding was the best decision my husband and I made. He made us feel comfortable the whole day, kept us on track time wise and the pictures came out amazing! We had a few phone calls leading up to the wedding day where we discussed logistics and photos we wanted to take. You can tell what a professional he is and that it's truly his passion. We even had a few guests tell us during the wedding that they loved our photographer. Do yourself a favor and hire Andy, you won't regret it! 5 stars hands down!
We cannot say enough magnificent things about Andy. I was introduced to him through my MOH's wedding in the Fall of 2023 and knew that he would be an excellent choice for our own photographer. To say that he is talented is the world's largest understatement. Our wedding photos are absolutely breathtaking and Andy completely understood us as a couple. He made us feel relaxed and comfortable and we are lucky to now call him a friend. Thank you endlessly Andy!!!!!!
After seeing photos from a friend of mines wedding I knew that I needed to get in touch with her photographer. Andy was quick to respond to my initial interest and took the time to meet with me and talk to me in person about what I envisioned for my wedding. From the first time I met him I knew that he would do a great job for our special day. Andy kept in touch throughout the planning process and gave helpful suggestions on how the day would run smooth.
Andy showed up right on time when we were getting ready and brought a fun, calming presence into the room. He captured everything from getting ready with the wedding party, getting ready with our parents, first looks, family photos, group photos and even pictures with our dog. He also captured the ceremony that I feel we can relive our vows and first kiss right from the pictures. He captured our friends and family having fun on the dance floor as well as all the small details I put around the room.
I admittedly had a pinterest board of my photos and sent it to him before the wedding. At one point during photos I saw him take it out of his pocket and check off the pictures he knew were really important to me. Andy also knew how important it was to me to be present at my cocktail hour and made a special effort to get all of the photos done before hand and then fade into the background while still capturing moments with family and friends. Andy got some very special photos during our first dances, speeches and parents dances as well. I was so happy when I got the album and so impressed with it because you would have never known he was on the dance floor with us.
Andy edited and returned thousands of photos which allowed us to relive our day over and over again. Andy is not only an amazing photographer he is an amazing person who helped create a memory we will have forever.
If it were common practice to have a professional photographer capture every moment of the average person’s life, I’d have Andy on retainer; not only because of the OBVIOUS talent he possesses, but because of who I have come to know him to be as a person and professional. From the day I first spoke with Andy regarding our wedding, I was immediately at ease by his demeanor. He was professional, yet familiar and welcoming. I knew that he had been doing this a long time and that he knew exactly what he was doing. Andy was always incredibly responsive, while maintaining a light, friendly energy which made me feel comfortable. There was appropriate conversation between first contact and the wedding and I had zero questions for him going in, as everything had been thoroughly discussed prior. I couldn’t have been more excited. On the day of the wedding, Andy showed up slightly before I had expected him, and told me he had been scoping out the venue before his arrival, something I appreciated and did not expect. Andy kept a level head all day despite the stressful, sometimes unexpected events that come on wedding days, not to mention he maintained a sense of humor, patience and professionalism the entire time. Throughout the night, I witnessed Andy catching special moments happening before anyone knew they were happening. Somehow, he was everywhere all at once. I never had to look for him when something special happened. Flash forward to not more than a week after the wedding, Andy begins sending me edited highlight photos from the weekend and I can’t believe how incredible they are. The variety in shots, the tone and color palette of the photos, how he was able to capture the individual personalities of everyone in each photo despite having never met them.. I’ve never been more impressed by a professional artist before. And Andy absolutely is an artist. I will forever cherish these memories of our special day and I feel confident should I ever want another special moment captured, Andy will be my first phone call. Book him!! I promise you will not regret it. Thanks Andy! :)
We are so happy that we worked with Andy for our wedding - he was incredibly responsive, gave us some great ideas to consider during the planning process, and was just all around wonderful. He was prompt for everything, and helped us work through some "game time" decisions during the wedding day. He made the day truly memorable for us, and we love his work for our engagement and our wedding. It was especially great to get to see some previews of our photos soon after the wedding so that we could really retrace the day. We definitely recommend hiring him, he is amazing.
If you're looking for a photographer, call Andy up ASAP. We hired Andy to photograph our wedding after seeing his work from a friend's wedding, and we're so glad we did. From start to finish, Andy was professional, easy to work with, communicative, patient and cooperative. I had outlined a few examples and ideas of what I was hoping for in our photos, and even in just some of the preview shots he sent he absolutely captured what we were hoping for. The photos are intimate, beautiful, not cheesy, gorgeous and capture me and my husband as well as our families/loved ones perfectly in the midst of celebration. We're so excited to see more. Additional acknowledgement must be made that Andy worked solo and absolutely hustled in 90+ degree September heat! He did not feel intrusive and was crucial in capturing so much on our wedding day that we'll be eternally grateful for!
Andy is extraordinary. Hire him for your wedding immediately. He was amazing to work with - flexible, fun, an absolute artist, and from our first intro call my (now) husband deemed him “the right energy for our wedding” - and he was absolutely correct in that assessment.
Andy showed up nearly three hours early, even when our timeline had him with us for 11 hours already! And he put everyone at ease and captured our day so beautifully without any stress, and helped us easily get back on track when we got a tad behind at one point so the ceremony started exactly on time.
I will also say we had about 215 people at our wedding, and I was initially nervous to hire Andy because he said he typically doesn’t need a second shooter (though was happy to hire one if we wanted) and so many other photographers require it for a certain size wedding. I am so glad we went with our gut on this and hired him alone. My wedding party didn’t realize that he was solo (we had two videographers there too) and were shocked because he somehow managed to be everywhere at once.
We are only two days out from our wedding and he’s already sent us so many extraordinary highlights that we can’t choose a reasonable number to share in this review!
Hire Andy Todes, and we promise you won’t regret it!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Andy. He was by far the best vendor we hired for our wedding weekend. He is efficient and has a beautiful vision for each photo while radiating a sense of calm and bringing a sense of humor and fun to a wedding. Our bridal party was obsessed with him and my maid of honor went on to hire Andy for her own wedding following the amazing experience.
Do not hesitate and book Andy!!
I don’t even know where to begin with having Andy as our photographer for our wedding. No one is better than him! He’s so great that every family member that got married after we did used him. They were so adamant on using him that they were willing to choose a wedding date according to his availability. He had a calming presence the entire day. Sometimes you hardly even knew he was there yet he captured every moment. Some photographers are pushy. Not Andy. He has an art for taking pictures that I have never seen in any other wedding photographer. If you want to go for ho hum wedding pictures, don’t go with him. If you want pictures that look like they could go in a magazine, go with Andy! Doesn’t matter what the season or weather is, he knows exactly what to do. You won’t regret using him!
Andy Todes was the photographer at our son’s recent Liberty House wedding. Throughout the entire planning process, Andy was a pleasure, responding promptly to requests and questions with helpful suggestions, and a general timeline of how the photos would happen on the wedding day. He struck the perfect balance of being organized and efficient yet calm and low key, helping to make a potentially stressful day more fun. On the wedding day his experience, expertise, and adaptability helped navigate multiple challenges (traffic, crowded park, very sunny day) and he was able to take an enormous number of pictures while making it all look easy!
The engagement photos he took were fabulous, but the wedding preview Instagram photos are even better! He definitely captured the joy and emotion of the day by the look on everyone’s faces. The photos were creative, and took full advantage of the surroundings. I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos!
In short, I recommend him highly as a photographer, and would definitely hire him again!
We found Andy primarily through our venue as he is one of their preferred vendors. We are so incredibly happy we got to work with him! We are a relatively laid back couple who is super awkward in front of the camera- Andy gently guided us throughout the whole day and the photos we got are absolutely incredible! He also took very sentimental photos- including some of signs and charms we had made for my deceased father. He also travelled to both the groom and brides getting ready location, church, and reception, and took photos of us outside of our venue in between the ceremony and reception in freezing cold weather (my idea haha)! We are so thrilled with our photos and can't wait to display them in our home. Thanks Andy!
When my now-husband and I started the hunt for a wedding photographer, a colleague from my work recommended Andy, and a colleague of my husband had hired and highly recommended Andy as well. So, it seemed like fate! Their recommendations could not have been more appreciated, because our wedding experience would not have been the same without Andy. We shot our engagement photoshoot in Philly, from the middle of Broad Street to random alleyways to a beautiful bar. With it being our first photoshoot, we were unsure how it'd feel, but Andy made us feel comfortable and gave the perfect amount of guidance. Then, Covid hit and our wedding was postponed not once, but twice! Throughout the chaos, Andy was so flexible and understanding. During such a stressful time, we were so grateful to have Andy along for the ride and be so accommodating with our constant date changing. We had a Covid wedding in 2020, and the only people in attendance were six family members...and Andy! The photos were perfect in every way. When our "big" wedding day finally arrived, Andy was there from start to finish. He made myself and my husband feel like movie stars. Andy took tons of photos of us before our wedding ceremony, countless photos matching us up with different bridal party members and family members, and accommodated every photo request we threw at him. The only thing we are certain about for our future besides one day having children, is hiring Andy to take family photos. He is truly the best in the business and the kindest soul.
Andy is a dream! For people as awkward as my husband and myself having someone with a calm energy such as Andy was perfect. He is such a professional and has such a good eye – he will take posed shots that don’t feel posed he will ask us to stand in certain places because of the light and the photos are gorgeous! For all of you brides who are looking for someone who likes to play with light – run don’t walk to Andy!
Not enough stars out there to rate Andy. He is a star. If you’re considering hiring him , do not hesitate. He gave us the most incredible photos from our wedding day just two days later. Everyone felt like a Hollywood movie star in his photos. We have received nonstop compliments from our wedding guests on his professionalism and discrete ability to capture every important moment. One guest said Andy has spider man sense and was available for every group shot. He made sure to capture us with everyone at our wedding. We couldn’t be more blown away by the quality of his photos. We love Andy!!! We will be reliving the magic of this day through your photos forever.
From the first conversation with Andy, we knew we wanted him as our photographer. He was fabulous to work with!! His personality made us and our bridal party feel instantly calm and comfortable, and we loved that we could just follow his lead and get the best shots possible. We didn't make a list of photos because we liked that he has a "go with the flow" approach, and this made the day feel smooth and natural, and allowed us to try more fun shots that look so great. He sent us sneak peeks right after our wedding, and they were AMAZING! We're so glad we had Andy on our big day.
From the minute we saw his work, we knew we wanted Andy as our photographer. He is extremely talented, calm, and organized. We met with him once we booked and again before the ceremony. He laid out our entire structure and offered great advice for helping to keep us on schedule. We trusted him with a lot and are so glad we did. His creativity is amazing and had preview pictures to us just days after! He was a solo shooter and did amazing! Highly recommend!
Hiring Andy was hands down one of the best decisions we made when it came to our wedding. Andy is so talented. We fell in love with all of our photographs instantly. Andy has a way of making you feel so comfortable- he's so easy going and fun to work with. We couldn't imagine working with a different photographer on our wedding day. If you're looking for a photographer that provides amazing, top quality and FUN special moments for your wedding day... look no further!!! Hire Andy!!! :)
Andy is absolutely amazing to work with and his pictures are stunning ! He is so easy going and has such a great personality and still remains professional. He listened to all my ideas for pictures and really captured everything I wanted ! I also want to say on our wedding day, there was a blizzard warning and the pictures we took outside came out FANTASTIC. The black and white photographs are so elegant and classy, they are my favorite ! Overall awesome photographer, experience, and photos !!! Thank you Andy!!
Andy was wonderful! He had never worked at our venue before, but came early to scope out the area and find the best pictures. The pictures we have gotten are better than we could have imagined!
Andy is the absolute best! He shot our wedding in September and our postponed reception in May. His photos are simply stunning. He not only captures the best photos but also has an amazing personality. He is very down to earth, fun and easy to work with. Thank you Andy for your incredible work! Beth and sean
When I started searching for a photographer for our wedding, I had one thought constantly running through my mind – I didn’t want to look back at our wedding photos years from now and wonder if anyone had any fun! When I found Andy, his portfolio was filled with exactly the mix of traditional wedding photos and more playful and candid photos that I was looking for. Simply put, he can do both and he does both with the utmost skill. It would be impossible to complement Andy’s talent in a single review and his photos speak for themselves, but it’s also worth reminding anyone looking at Andy’s photos that even though his final product makes it look “easy”, it is indeed the exact opposite. My husband and I visited our wedding venue a few weeks before our March wedding when none of the trees were green and it looked very different than when we booked it one summer day many months ago. Seeing the venue that day made me worry that we were presenting Andy with an impossible task and may have made a mistake choosing to get married in March. My concerns were unwarranted – Andy’s eye and ability to capture awe inspiring photos no matter what the surroundings is truly remarkable. Andy sees things we could never see – and he sees them fast! Andy was consistently guiding my husband and I into the next photo and was sure to communicate throughout the day to make sure we were on schedule to capture any and all photos we had in mind. Last, but certainly not least, Andy is a pleasure to be around. He’s a professional who gets the job done and he gets it done with a smile on his face. I’ll look back on our wedding for years to come and think of Andy not just as our photographer, but also as a wonderful addition to our very special day.
Andy is the absolute best! We rescheduled our reception to next year but went ahead with the ceremony this year. Andy so easily worked with us to split the contract and secure the new date. We just got back the photos from the ceremony and they are truly perfect! I have gotten so many compliments on the photos. Honestly, when we had to reschedule the reception I gave him all the date options first before moving anything so we could ensure he was available. We cannot wait to work with him again next year!
Andy is absolutely AMAZING. Due to the pandemic I had to reschedule my wedding a couple of times. Andy would be the first vendor I would check dates with to ensure he was available! I heard such incredible things about him through our venue. Hiring Andy for our wedding was the best decision! He is so awesome and easy to work with. He knows the exact spots to capture the most perfect pictures. The quality of the photographs are phenomenal. I would 100% recommend him to anyone!!
If I could give Andy more stars I would... hiring him was by far the BEST decision we made!!! First, he is hilarious so if you're nervous that you'll be awkward when the light is all on you he will make you feel comfortable and at ease. We had a micro wedding at the beach in September and hope that we can have the big celebration next September, in which we can't wait to have Andy back to capture it all again. I literally can't stop looking at our wedding photos, they look as if they should go in a bridal magazine and that is all due to Andy's creative eye. All of our friends/family are obsessing over our photos. Andy did such a fantastic job!
Andy has been our favorite vendor from the minute we spoke to him and booked him!
Not only are his photos just stunning, but he is the real deal to work with. He knows how to both run the show and also take advantage of unique ideas and moments to turn them into amazing photos. We got some of the most unique, fun but also gorgeous engagement and wedding photos I’d ever seen!
My favorite thing about his work is that he is exceptional at capturing both magazine worthy glam shots AND those emotional, special candid moments as well.
Looking through your photos will be an emotional experience as well as a difficult decision as to which photos to get printed on a canvas.
Andy keeps it real. He’ll give you advice on timeline of the day and he’ll set expectations so the day goes smoothly.
And to top it all off, you will feel at ease, in good hands, and have FUN with him shooting your wedding!!
Also, as a COVID couple we had to reschedule our may 2020 wedding TWICE and then ended up having a backyard micro wedding this July 2020 and postponing the big wedding till next year as a vow renewal. Andy was right there with us the whole way- accommodating & prompt in helping with each reschedule AND coming through for our microwedding!
I can not recommend him enough. I did such extensive research on every photographer I came across, and I am SO glad we booked Andy.
BOOK HIM!!! You will not regret it.
Hiring Andy to be our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made! Being from out of town and having a New Jersey wedding, he made it so easy to contact him and talk to over the phone to plan everything from the schedule to the photos we had to have. He knew the venue inside and out and knew exactly how to get each shot perfectly. What I loved most about my experience with Andy was that he made me (as an awkward person) feel completely comfortable with posing and having fun with it. To be honest, our photos we took before the wedding ceremony was one of the most fun parts of the day!! That is the number one reason that I would recommend Andy to my friends and family - he made something I was so stressed over become fun and easy. He was also extremely helpful to my parents and family to ensure they got the shots they wanted as well. I loved how he posted previews on Instagram the days after and was able to give us such a full package of photos prior to the date he told us they would be ready. Andy knows what he is doing and will be by your side whenever you need him throughout the day. Great experience!!!
Andy was beyond amazing! He is extremely talented at his art and was so wonderful to work with. Andy made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and gave us direction as we went along to optimize our photos. After our wedding, Andy posted some photos which was such a treat and gave us a taste of what we could expect. He provided us a timeline of when we would receive the remaining photos and when they arrived we were blown away. Each photo was better than the next! We cannot recommend Andy enough!
Book Andy now! I cannot stress the importance of a great photographer for your wedding day. They virtually run the show, all day long! Andy was so much fun to work with. He was calm cool and collected all day. He laughed with us and let us be ourselves. We got married on Saturday and by Sunday, Andy was posting sneak peeks on his instagram!! Now it is Tuesday and I have so many previews. People I show 1. cannot believe I already have pictures and 2. they love the pictures and make comments on how the photographer is so talented. Based off the preview pictures my husband and I already have received, we can 110% say we got our money worth already. Andy was so professional and you could see the wheels turning in his head while he thought about the lighting, placement, etc. Then we see the pictures and it blew our mind that he was able to see how the light would hit us. When he got to our room for getting ready pictures, he noticed my room was dark and my husbands room was brighter. He arranged for the guys to go to the lobby so I could get some great pictures. Andy could have easily made due, but instead he went above and beyond to ensure he had amazing pictures to provide us. Speaking to guests and the wedding party about Andy, they all said they barely even noticed the photographer at the reception. He was able to get some beautiful shots, without getting in anyone's way. I was worried about having only one photographer the day of but Andy captured pictures literally from two different angles within seconds of each other. I can't even comprehend it. The first look was so amazing and personal. My favorite moment of the day. Andy arranged it all and it unfolded so beautifully and he got it all! I don't think I missed more than 8 minutes of my entire cocktail hour and reception. Andy was so efficient with his pictures. I genuinely got to enjoy the party and eat dinner! Trust me when I say, you will not regret hiring Andy for your big day. These pictures are everything! Thank you Andy!!!
Hands down the best photographer out there. Andy was the easiest and best decision we made for our wedding. He is so talented in his ability to capture emotion in all of his shots. He is quick and relaxed which makes a huge difference on your wedding day. My husband and I really enjoyed our time with him. He made us feel comfortable and calm, plus he was able to joke around and have fun with us and our party during our photo shoots. Andy is confident in what to do and, and let me tell you - he gets it done! Thank you Andy for capturing our wedding day in such a beautiful manner! Highly recommend this photographer.
Stop reading this and just book Andy - you will not regret your decision !!!! Booking Andy was hands down the best decision we made while planning our wedding. Not only is he a world class photographer he is calm and collected on the day and puts everyone at ease. My now husband hates photos but enjoyed working with Andy. He kept us on schedule while still managing to take amazing photos . The day after the wedding he was already posting some photos that are just incredible and I’m excited to see the rest.
I don't know how else to put this other than you would be making a foolish mistake not to hire Andy as your photographer. His calm energy and enthusiasm for getting the perfect shot never ceased to amaze us throughout the entire 12-hour day. He exceeded our expectations beyond imaginable and sincerely over delivered. WHEN you hire him--JUST GO WITH IT! On our day, we found ourselves running down 2nd street in Northern Liberties to catch the last rays of sun set when we found ourselves crunched together in an alley way (Andy's idea) -- and all he kept saying was "this is great, do you see that?!" ... and after we got those pictures back--boy did we see what he was talking about! He has an eye for capturing the most amazing colors and genuine, emotion-filled moments of the entire day, and after all was said and done he sent us countless photos THE NEXT DAY like rapid fire. We did not question a single thing he suggested that day because we truly just immediately felt at ease with his patience, confidence and professionalism. With all the other stressors and unpredictability of your wedding day, DO YOURSELF THE FAVOR and make him part of it--you will not regret it!!! Now we are just hoping for another excuse to work with him again!
You're a wizard, Andy! Andy was one of the best decisions that we made regarding our wedding. My husband and I never like pictures of ourselves, so we thought the photography piece of our wedding would be a challenge. After seeing Andy's work we knew that he was our guy. From the first time we contacted him to the end of the reception he was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. The day of the wedding he arrived early and got right to work. He was so patient with the bridal party, the freezing temperatures, and setting up the perfect shots. There were never any awkward poses and Andy's sense of humor really helped ease our nerves. The next day he was already posting pictures on Instagram. To say we loved every single photo would be an understatement. We've received so many compliments on the pictures we've gotten from him so far. We cannot wait to see the rest! Your search is over. Hire Andy!
Andy is the best! On your wedding day (and our engagement photos before!), we knew we needed an approachable photographer who would capture the essence of us as a couple. We found that instantly with Andy who put us at ease and allowed us to be ourselves. What we didn’t realize we were getting as a bonus was a photographer who will go above and beyond to get the perfect shot, the perfect lighting and unbelievable photos. He scaled up sides of rocks, braved freezing cold weather, and made our time as a newly engaged couple to Mr & Mrs unforgettable. Now all we need is a baby so we can have an excuse to work with Andy again!! Xo
Andy has such a great creative vision while also maintaining a perfect balance of professionalism and fun! Andy not only took so much care into every photograph, but he also helped us strategize and get back on track time wise when we had an unexpected issue before heading to the venue. The day was a whirlwind, but it was so great knowing that we would be able to soak in all of the moments when we see Andy's photographs. He immediately posted a lot of photos on instagram (which was an unexpected treat!) and we can't wait to see all of the photos!
Thank you, Andy!
Andy is INCREDIBLE! With all the stress that goes into wedding planning, the last thing you should be worrying about is if your photographer is going to beautifully capture THE BEST DAY of your life. If you think about it, besides sealing the deal with your hunny, photography is arguably the most important part of your wedding because it's the only thing you have to hold onto after the day (which goes by scary fast...) is over. The day lasts 10 hours, but pictures last a lifetime! Let me tell you: if you pick Andy, you will NOT have to sweat a drop wondering if your pictures will perfectly capture your day! I am a planner, but I trusted Andy and let him do his thing all day, and our wedding album is fantastic (like, he somehow made 2 very average people look like movie stars over and over again). He adapts quickly, which is super important because unexpected things come up all day long (ie. weather changes, late family members, wedding coordinator shenanigans, etc.). He did not let anything get in the way of capturing beautiful, artistic, yet bona fide pictures of us and our guests, all while making sure to document even seemingly minute moments like guests' facial expressions and small details of the venue. Andy is super easy to work with (you'd be surprised at how egotistic and pushy some wedding photographers out there are...), humble, and does a great job of balancing his professional judgement with your requests. To top it off, his pricing is incredibly reasonable for the quality AND how many pictures he gives you. If you live in the greater New Jersey/New York/Philadelphia area, ANDY HAS TO BE YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER! Life is too short to plan an awesome wedding and hire an (at-best) mediocre wedding photographer. Give Andy a call, you will not regret it.
A few couples we know enlisted Andy as their photographer for their wedding, and spoke very highly of him, so we felt confident in asking him to document ours.
Immediately after contacting him, we were met with his professionalism. Immediately after he arrived on the day of our wedding, we were met with his eye for detail and easy going personality. All of these things made him a pleasure to work with. Personally speaking, I was nothing but nerves on my wedding day, and I can't thank Andy enough for reminding me to "breathe", and for bringing some calmness to what is otherwise a chaotic day.
Our pictures turned out amazing, and one would think that they were taken by Andy and a team of ten people, considering there was such a large range which caught different backdrops, precious moments, and funny candids; but it was just Andy, doing what he does best!
All of these reviews are such a true testament to the amazing work Andy does. We were so grateful to have had a friend suggest Andy to photograph our special day. From the first phone call to the final photo Andy was nothing but exceptional. Andy has a type A personality with a laid back spirit. Andy brings out a confidence and ease that is reflected in his photos. He makes the environment work for his clients. He seizes the grandest moments and captures the quieter ones too; the ones you might take for granted if it hadn’t been for his expertise and experienced eye. Andy took a rainy day in June and made it into the fairytale we all knew it was. Thank you for the memories, Andy. We will forever have the utmost gratitude. Love, Jessi and Dan
Before I even started planning my wedding, I knew I wanted Andy to be the photographer. I have followed (stalked) his work for about 10 years, and have seen how amazing his work is over the years. My engagement photos, and my wedding photos were better than I could have even imagined! He made the wedding day go so smoothly, listened to what I wanted and had so many ideas of his own. Our families raved about how easy going he was too, and everyone has loved our pictures. Best decision ever going with Andy!
It is SO stressful trying to find a wedding photographer in North Jersey/NYC area as there are hundreds to chose from with all different styles, pricing, packages etc. We found Andy on a few of the recommended sites and booked an engagement shoot to make sure we all got along and enjoyed the shots. The engagement shoot was perfect - still some of my favorite shots ever - so we booked him immediately. His pictures are beautiful and he captured every shot perfectly. Our portraits, group shots, couple shots, family shots, church and reception - there are so many amazing ones that we can't even choose. Andy also does an EXCELLENT job of letting you enjoy your day while he is there in the background and manages to get the perfect shots. I cant recommend him enough!
I can’t even begin to adequately describe how great Andy is. From the first time we met him back in 2016, we were immediately impressed by how laid back, down to earth, and humble he was. After seeing his beautiful work, we knew he was the right photographer for us.
Fast forward to May 2018 during the rainiest week I’ve ever seen in my life, Andy arrived for our wedding day. Not only was he prompt, but he was so positive, optimistic, professional, and unobtrusive. What I loved most was that he really has this amazing presence about him that makes you feel so calm and relaxed - it’s an incredible gift. Given that, he made us feel so confident that despite the incessant rain, we’d get beautiful shots. Well “beautiful” was an understatement. The photos are INCREDIBLE. Every single one of them. We continue to get compliments on them all the time.
I can truly say that having Andy at our wedding was one of the best decisions we have ever made. I still tell people to this day that Andy was one of my favorite parts of my wedding day. He is a true talent in his field and anyone who has the privilege of working with him will certainly agree. Thanks for everything, Andy!
I am not even sure how to begin telling you how amazing Andy is! Firstly I cannot thank Andy enough for capturing our day so incredibly perfectly, I don't have the words to describe these photos. Looking at them truly brings me back to our day, I can feel the emotion in the pictures! Secondly I have received sooooooo many compliments on these photos. How beautiful they are and that they belong in magazines, and it is so true, all of his work belongs in every bridal magazine! My husband HATES photos, but Andy made it so easy for him and the entire wedding party to feel at ease. I honestly have not found a single photo where anyone looks cheesy or uncomfortable, everyone looks so natural. His photos have a lot of character and capture the fun and love you feel throughout the day. These photos are exciting to look at and he is sneaky at getting every shot with out you even knowing sometimes, which is just amazing. He fit in the moment he got there, joking and making everyone feel comfortable. He truly treated us like we are his only clients, even though he has so many. He does whatever he needs to, to make sure he gets the shot, while staying patient and calm and going with the flow. I will truly cherish these photos for a lifetime and am so grateful to have them. I could not have dreamt up a better photographer, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Where to begin? Having Andy be a part of our day was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. He wisely advised us early on that the day would not go like planned, and it certainly did not. With the weather changing by the second, a lengthy ceremony and presidential traffic issues, Andy's professionalism, experience and relaxed attitude helped a very stressed-out bride get through the difficulties. I also appreciated seeing the sneak peek photos the days after the wedding. I know the conditions weren’t ideal but I had no doubt that he would take fabulous photos and am so pleased already! We appreciated how Andy supported us in a broader capacity by handling the various personalities and making sure our day ran as smoothly as it could - we enjoyed every second of it!
Andy was the most amazing photographer for our wedding at Liberty House! He made taking pictures feel fun and easy and it was such a pleasure to work with him. He is so creative and has the best ideas for how to capture the most special moments - from pulling a funky couch from the restaurant to use for our photos, to taking us outside for sunset to capture the incredible lighting, to making our friends and family feel so comfortable posing and taking pictures in the heat. Andy was able to capture shots that I didn't even know were possible to capture - he is so quick and pays such close attention to detail and emotion. His photos of our wedding literally blew me away - they are absolutely stunning, breathtaking, beautiful. I love how the colors in his photos are so vivid and bright. He is SO good at what he does and he was not only fantastic on our wedding day, but throughout the entire process planning and leading up to the wedding. His passion truly shines when he is taking pictures!!! His work is so impressive and his photos are beyond beautiful and the absolute best quality. I recommend Andy SO SO highly!!!!
If you can dream how you’d like your photos to look on your wedding day, then Andy can make them a reality. We love our photos! Andy was amazing to work with and worth every penny. You will not be disappointed.
Choosing Andy to be our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. It began when I saw a friend’s wedding photos a few years ago. I knew right then and there that their photographer was special, as his photos not only made my friends look like movie stars, but they captured their emotions so vividly. Flash forward a few years later, Andy was the first person I wrote to when I secured a wedding date. Take one look at the photos on his website and his ‘about’ and you’ll just instantly love his work and approach. His artistry, vision, and how much he cares about what he is doing is evident immediately. If you look at the way everyone is looking at the camera, you can just tell they really like the guy behind the camera!
We met with Andy a few months before the wedding and I instantly wanted to be his friend-- he was so warm and easy to talk to. When he arrived on my wedding day I was excited to see him and to get started. And wow, did he just go! We were fighting the sunset on a winter day, and the sun was coming through the trees and it was just ...click! click! click! Andy made sure we got many shots of the two of us, and then made sure we got every photo we wanted with family and wedding party before losing the light. He was on fire! It was so much fun, so easy, so joyous. And let me tell you…the pictures are beyond. I feel like he captured us so perfectly, the subtleties of our relationship, the love of the day. That continued into the ceremony photos and the action packed hilarious shots of everyone dancing. They’re all just brilliant and stunning! What he gave us – photos we will treasure forever—is just such an incredible gift, and working with him on this most important day was an absolute pleasure. I know our paths will cross again because so many of my friends and family will want to hire him to do their weddings. I can't recommend him enough.
I had the distinct pleasure of working with Andy twice before our wedding day. I was in the bridal party of two of my best friends who both used Andy as their photographer. I already knew his photos were gorgeous, but being able to get an inside look into Andy’s personality and how he works was what sold me on him.
Andy’s laid back nature and wicked sense of humor is exactly what every bride needs on her wedding day. He puts you at ease, but keeps things on schedule at the same time - no easy task. He made us laugh and smile (completely naturally!) the whole day. He takes chances and is spontaneous and creative so you don’t end up with run-of-the-mill, overly-posed wedding photos. Not everyone is used to having a million photos taken of them (I know I certainly wasn’t) and yet Andy didn’t make it feel like it was some over-produced photoshoot. We felt like we were all just hanging out (except, it was our wedding day!)
And the photos... I mean, COME ON. They are simply stunning, so filled with pure emotion and captured our day perfectly. They are magazine quality photos. They run the gamut from dreamy and ethereal to raw, almost gritty, emotion. The words I write here will never do them justice so please go have a look for yourself.
Andy sent us a few teaser photos from our first look and I swear to god it looks like he took the same picture from but two completely different angles. HOW DID HE DO IT?! The answer: he’s a ninja. A photog-ninja.
But in all seriousness, Andy is the real deal. His photos are stunning and the guy is seriously a blast to hang out with. Book him. Now.
We absolutely loved working with Andy. We had so much fun shooting our engagement photos with him. He is so good at what he does-- he made us feel comfortable and captured our personalities so well. On our wedding day, he was early to the hotel, rode to the venue with the groomsmen in ubers, coordinated last minute with our videographer, and captured insanely beautiful moments throughout the day and night. We highly recommend Andy!!! Our friends and family are blown away by the photos we have seen so far. Can't wait to see the rest!
I️ cannot express enough praise for the photography master/ninja that is Andrew Todes. He not only worked within our budget from the jump, but he was able to give us EXACTLY what we wanted and then some. Andy’s expert eye for an exquisite, sun rich, photo was beyond perfect. He was efficient and quick, but the shots he captured surpassed our expectations. One of the many many things that sets him apart from other photographers was his ability to essentially disappear during the ceremony while miraculously taking a few of our most favorite shots. I’ve never been so excited about wedding photos, and it’s not because they’re from my own wedding, but because of the attention to detail, mood, and personality Andy captures in each and every picture. We could not have asked for a more perfect photographer for our special day. Yes, he may be a ninja and a master photographer, but the man is a true artist and will be worth every. single. penny. We love you Andy!! Thank you for letting our perfect day now live forever!
If I could go above 5 stars I would in a second. I found Andy on a post on Hobokengirl.com. There was a lineup of pictures, and I knew from the one picture I saw that he was my photographer. Once I saw his site, I was hooked. He did an amazing job with our engagement photos, learning about us as individuals and as a couple to incorporate that into our photos. We got some of our favorite shots balancing on some chairs at our favorite pier. Then came the wedding. Where do I even start? We talked beforehand about necessary pictures, first look, and ideas that I had. He made sure to get all of them. He was so cool and collected the day of and made me feel calm when we were having some trouble with getting to the first look space. I could tell just with posing and acting natural for the photos that I would love them. Less than 24 hours later, the samples started popping up on instagram. WOW. I'm simply speechless. The photos I have seen have been truly beautiful and unique. I can't wait to see them all!!! I want to relive my wedding just so I can work with Andy again and see what else we can photograph. Simply a fantastic, charming, talented, individual. I won't work with anyone else. So keep me number, Andy!! Also, (which I'm a bit sad about because I just love chatting with him), I didn't notice him at the wedding, but I know he got great shots. My husband and I even said to each other, "did you see Andy?" And we didn't, but we know he saw us. Andy, the biggest most heartfelt thank you Ron and I can possibly express. Thank you for being such a huge part in our wedding. We can't wait to work with you again!
We were so happy to have booked Andy Todes for our wedding day! Throughout the entire planning process, and on the day of our wedding, he was a pleasure to work with. We had a very tight schedule for pictures on the day of the wedding and Andy was sure to keep us calm and comfortable while still making sure we were on schedule. Andy's has a great artistic eye and his portfolio of pictures is amazing! We were blown away with each and every picture he took of us. We highly recommend Andy for your wedding photography!
You are probably reading this because you are searching for a photographer. If that is the case, stop what you are doing (right now- seriously!) and call Andy immediately. It will be the best wedding decision you make!
There is a reason why Andy is such an in-demand photographer. With over two decades of experience behind the lens, he has an incredible eye for light and color, and hands down he takes the most beautiful photos (don't believe me? Give his Instagram a look). He is personable and professional, to boot!
Hiring the right photographer is essential to any wedding. After all, once the cake has been eaten, the electric slide has been laid to rest and the flowers dry up, the only things you are left with are the tangible reminders- like photos. What makes Andy so special is the fact that he can take a plethora of different photos that will evoke the emotions of your wedding-- every single time you look at them. It's incredible. He had us at four different locations in less than 45 minutes- and every single shot he took looked nothing short of fantastic.
Do yourself a favor and let Andy take your photos. You will absolutely not regret it.
Andy is amazing - he is incredibly talented and professional but also a lot of fun to work with, which is so important on your wedding day. He was game to try anything, including scaling rocks and joining us on a midnight boat ride. He has an editorial eye so you end up with unique and high-end photos that could be straight out of a magazine, instead of just the traditional, slightly stiff looking wedding photos you so often see. He has a keen sense of humor that comes out in his photos and adds an extra element of joy to those memories. Andy has an incredible way of making people feel comfortable and drawing out their personalities and genuine emotions, which I think is why I love our photos so much. They aren't full of frozen smiles and awkward poses, which can be especially common with people like me who aren't that comfortable in front of a camera! I can't recommend Andy highly enough, you will not be disappointed.
As I was looking for a wedding photographer, most portfolios I looked through were fine, but nothing special. Then I saw Andy's--and I was smitten. The color, humor, and emotion in his photos made them stand out from all the rest. My husband agreed!
We chose not to hire a videographer because we felt confident that Andy would capture the day perfectly on camera -- and he did! Our wedding photos are absolutely BEAUTIFUL and we've received endless compliments. Andy is a true artist, with an uncanny ability to capture every moment, reaction, and emotion.
Beyond the photos (which speak for themselves), Andy is incredibly kind and professional. He arrived early and started shooting right away. He's non-intrusive and fun to work with (which was very important to us, since my husband generally doesn't like getting his photo taken). This is evident in our photos--all the smiles are massive and genuine, not posed or forced :)
I should also mention that Andy brought along a second shooter for part of the day, and while her photos aren't of quite the same quality as Andy's, she was INCREDIBLY helpful for coordinating our first look and making sure all the logistics went smoothly. We were very pleased with our decision to have a second shooter during the bridal party photos. For the rest of the evening, having just Andy was plenty sufficient!
A++ all around. I cannot recommend Andy highly enough!
We loved working with Andy on our wedding day. It rained and I was bummed but after seeing the photos, I'm so glad it rained!!!
He was calm, professional, and rallied a lot of people together in a short amount of time for the photos.
I'm going to have a hard time putting my album together b/c there are so many amazing shots --thank you Andy!
Besides saying yes to my groom, I think hiring Andy is probably the best wedding decision I made! I will say, it was both incredibly easy and hard. Easy because one look at his work and I knew it was like nothing else I had seen, the colors and life he captured were unmatched by any other photographer I met (and there were a few!). Hard because I was very concerned about not having a second shooter. At the end of the day, I realized that I wouldn't miss what I didn't have and that the images Andy captured would make up for that 1,000-fold. Thank goodness I came to that conclusion because Andy is amazing. We did an engagement shoot and he completely indulged my vision for a camping themed shoot with our puppy and we adore the photos. We were both immediately comfortable with Andy and I went into the wedding day confident that he would capture the day perfectly. Now I haven't seen all our photos yet, just 20 or so preview shots (which he posted within 2 days of our wedding, the best) but every single one is frameable. I can't imagine how many wonderful things he captured and I cannot wait to find out. He was always responsive and extremely punctual. He showed up an hour early on our wedding day (and we had him booked for 10 hours!) and instead of waiting until his clock started, he immediately started shooting. He captured all of our decor and invitation suite before I even knew he was there! He also made a special trip out to our venue for me because it was new and I wanted him to see it ahead of time. Above and beyond! If you are scared, as I was, about the second shooter I urge you to still go with Andy. He will see things that no one else will and you will get more amazing photos from just him than two other photographers, I promise. He was an absolute pleasure on our wedding day and such a calming presence. I look forward to finding an occasion to hire Andy again.
Perhaps I should start by saying that my husband and I have received an unbelievable amount of compliments on both, our engagement photos aaaaannd our wedding photos (by Andy).
To be frank, cameras never did like me and so, I always hated the way I looked in photos. Simply, I lived with the thought that I am better looking in person than I am in photos. So naturally, for my wedding I needed someone who could capture my best angle, kind of find my light, if you know what I mean… So, after browsing the work of hundreds of photographers on one of these wedding websites, I bumped into Andy’s work and felt in love with it right away. I wasn’t aware that I was looking for a certain style of photography until I saw Andy’s work. But I figured that he was the photographer that I had been looking for. A couple of days later my now husband and I met him, liked him, and agreed that Andy’s work was the best we had seen. Andy brought his portfolio to our meeting and I couldn’t stop thinking about how cool his photos were—they weren’t just beautiful.
Mel surprised me with an engagement photo shoot and it was fantastic. Andy was incredibly easy to work with and got some really beautiful shots; they turned out youthful, fun and actionlike. But the best part is that each photo reflects our love story and or an emotion. After that, Mel and I couldn’t wait for our wedding photos. I went from hating photos of myself to loving them (at least the ones that Andy took). On September 9th, 2012, Andy was there to shoot our wedding photos. He was there super early, scouted the area and got to work. Every picture of our wedding that we have seen we love and I couldn’t be happier for our decision to contract Andy Todes Photography. Although Andy’s work speaks for itself Mel and I recommend him based on the work he did for us this year, which is, I think, synonymous with edgy skilled photography and professionalism.
Andy's work speaks for itself; it's amazing. There's just something about his photos that captures the mood and beauty of the moment. Andy was accommodating and flexible to work within my limited budget. He was confident in his ability to make my camera-shy groom feel comfortable in front of the camera. It has been a pleasure working with Andy and I highly recommend his services.
Andrew Graham Todes Photography offers distinctive wedding photography. Andrew is a real perfectionist and brings an artistic eye to his photos. The pictures are just beautiful.
Andy is so great I could kiss him! Our wedding was July 4, 2010 and originally I was planning to use another photographer but she was booked. She lead me to Andy and I couldn't be happier about it. He treats you as if you are his only client even though he is booked solid. On our wedding day Andy didn't miss a thing. While the girls and I were getting ready Andy was there and he fit right in, joking and talking to us throughout. He makes you so at ease that after a while you forget he is snapping pictures of you, which in my opinion is absolutely amazing. I mean how many people can have a camera in their face and not be nervous? But Andy makes that all possible. From the moment he showed up until 10 hours later at the end of the reception Andy was attentive, accommodating, and just all around wonderful to work with. I have my pictures back now and am still thrilled with Andy and his work. Our wedding pictures are stunning and no one else would have been able to pull it off. Even my husband, who can be uninterested about this stuff, was amazed. I can not wait to make our final picks and have him put together our album. From the ones I've seen he will do another amazing job with this too. If you are looking for the BEST, call Andy. Don't settle for anyone less on your wedding day. Andy is a gem!
Andrew has now done three weddings for our family and has done an amazing job each time. He's the type of photographer that you don't even realize he's there and yet finds a way to get get all those important shots. As busy as he is he makes you feel like you're the only bride/groom/wedding on his mind! Thanks Andy! A++++
