After receiving a recommendation for Andy Hardman Photography, we checked out his website and fell in love with his work. We felt so fortunate to be able to have him photograph ou...
r elopement! Andy made the pre-planning super easy and that was important to us since we were unfamiliar with the location. Andy is so passionate and energetic that working with him is a blast! He was fantastic at guiding and suggesting shots without making us feel posed and directed. We could not have asked for a better experience and our elopement photographs are incredible! One of the things we loved most about Andy's photography is that he seems to capture a couple's uniqueness and centers his photographs around who they are. I would absolutely recommend Andy and would not hesitate to work with him again! He is the best!!

photos. With this in mind, we set out to find a photographer that we felt could meet this very high bar. We didn’t want just any-old wedding pictures—we wanted an album that captures our personalities, our values, and our love for each other.
When we first reviewed Andy’s portfolio, we were immediately struck by his artistic vision. Beyond the undeniably beautiful photos, we could also see the personality and passion of his subjects shine through. Finally after meeting with Andy and sharing our story as a couple, we were confident we had found the perfect photographer to capture our engagement and wedding milestones. From the jump, Andy impressed us with his dedication to his craft. From stripping down to his shorts to climb into a freezing river to hiking far above us for that perfect “drone” angle, Andy stopped at nothing to realize his vision for us. While our wedding day itself felt like a blur, we were never once worried that the memories would be lost—Andy was seemingly everywhere at once, capturing everything from the most precious and candid of moments (our dog dancing with us on the dance floor!) to the most technical and deliberate of compositions (a perfectly-lit under the veil angle in the middle of a busy street!). Andy not only understood what we wanted from our wedding album, but also who we are as individuals and as a couple. Our personalities and love for each other stand as the centerpiece in each of his beautiful portraits and candid event photos from our engagement and wedding.

a great photographer and we absolutely found one in Andy. He was extremely professional and had great technical and helpful advice. He took photos of everything we wanted as well as plenty of great photos of us that we will be able to have forever. He gave all the helpful tips and tricks to us as a couple to make sure we were looking our best in all of the photos. I could not recommend Andy more.
For every couple that is getting married, wedding is one of the most special moments of your life. It's probably the most happening party that you will throw. Hence, finding the ri...
ght photographer becomes one of the most important piece of planning a perfect wedding. Ours was Punjabi far from home and parents wedding . Finding someone who understood our sentiments and captured all the important moments during the three day event was crucial.
Photography was one the big ticket item on our wedding expense sheet. We came across a lot of photographers who were charging absorbent amount of money to capture our wedding. While money was a factor, it definitely wasn't the only criteria to finding the right photographer. We researched many portfolios trying to find a photographer who captured moments in his pictures like how we would have aimed to capture on our phone😛 The moment we came across Andy's photography, both Palak and I knew we wanted to talk to him and see if he would be interested in capturing our wedding through his lens.
Getting on a call with Andy was probably one of the best early decisions we made. Explaining him what we wanted felt like talking to a friend on how I see myself getting married. Andy had very little to no experience with a Punjabi wedding, but he definitely was ready to take the task on. His excitement to capture our wedding matched our's and thats when we decided that he was the right person to go with. Signing a contract with him was also an easy process.
Ours was a three day event, and Andy was at every event on time. Something that I really appreciated at that time was that he was very flexible with his availability. He made friends with all my guest and was capturing all the fun moments. He helped us find a spot to do a couple photoshoot, and kept trying to capture the pictures that we talked about during our earlier discussions. Every wedding is full of surprises, and so was ours. Coordinating with Andy was always easy. He made sure that both my wife and I were having fun and not stressed about the wedding.
Andy delivered us the pictures in a couple of months, and we absolutely love each and every one of them. He put a lot of effort into editing them to perfection. Retrospecting the whole experience with him, we would say we were super lucky to come across Andy.

Thank Andy for the wonderful photographs!
Andy’s an incredible photographer and incredibly easy to work with too. You can’t go wrong.
Photos aside, Andy’s presence at our nuptials was an amazing bonus to the beautiful images he captured. The way he engaged with our guests and the moment was genuine, sensitive, pe...
rsonable, and professional.
The flair he has for documenting an occasion is both candid and unique. Hailing from the same region as us, he knew how to incorporate the surroundings in a way that made the people and their emotions shine through.
Would we recommend? If only there were a hundred stars to give..... Thank you, Andy.
We chose Andy as our wedding photographer and couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of our photos and the experience. From our first coffee shop meeting to discuss what we were...
looking for, to our wedding day, to getting our final photos- it was all a great experience! We had some apprehension about posing for photos but he immediately made us feel comfortable! Andy traveled for our wedding and was able to navigate shoots in multiple locations. He also did a wonderful job with our larger group/family photos. The lighting was certainly tricky in one of our locations and he was still able to ensure that we captured amazing photos. We continue to receive great compliments on our wedding photos and feel that he captured our day in a very special way. Chose Andy, you won't regret it!
I can’t say enough about how wonderful Andy was as a photographer for my wedding. While he takes beautiful photos both posed and candid, the candid and freestyle photos he captures...
are breathtaking and completely embody the feeling of our special day. He has an outstanding ability to catch special moments, great and small. It was so much fun to look at our day through his lens. From booking our date with him all the way to receiving our photos, Andy was reliable and communicative. My husband and I both are extremely satisfied with our photos and love reflecting back on such a special day with such beautiful photos. We highly recommend Andy for your photography needs.
We are so happy to have found Andy in our search for wedding photographers. We were looking for a photographer whose style could capture both the drama and lightness of our special...
day. He truly delivered, from our heart-felt first look to when everyone let loose at the dance party. We were especially pleased with some of the wider panoramas that included a nature backdrop.
Andy’s style was very relaxed, which put us at ease from the beginning. We appreciated his reassuring attitude amidst the stress of wedding planning. During the wedding itself he was great to work with and put forth extra effort to make sure we got the photos we wanted (even climbing over a fence on a balcony!). He was also great at catching our young family members’ attention by blowing bubblegum bubbles. We certainly appreciated his easygoing nature. If you are someone who likes more structure, you will likely want to work with Andy ahead of time to plan out things like number and configuration for family photos. He will undoubtedly be very accommodating.
As far as the process, Andy initially met up with us at a coffee shop to talk things through. He was very responsive via email, and as the date got closer he was even willing to meet up with us to search for a first look location and give his professional opinion. A day or so after the wedding we were delighted to receive a few sneak peak photos. The rest of the photos followed in batches as he edited to perfection.
Overall we are very pleased with Andy’s work and would love to hire him again in the future for another big life event!
We were so fortunate to have Andy Hardman capture our wedding day. It was a long day and night, with four locations over 12 hours and he was easy to work with and flexible every st...

He made beautiful images of the sizeable wedding party and kept everyone on schedule throughout. While the formal pictures were wonderful
his candid shots truly captured our friends and family’s happiness and the magic of the day.
Andy captures more than people’s look in his images, he captures their personality and humanity.

dy managed to use all the available light to capture the mood of the day and event. He also captured a comprehensive vision of my wedding, with close-ups, landscapes, and portraits of my family and friends. Thanks to Andy I have a really unique, honest look at an important day in my life.
Andy has an eye for photography that goes beyond the normal and usual. His pictures capture the true essence of that moment in time!

ess to and from the wedding site.
Andy managed to use every challenge to his advantage
highlighting the crashing waves of Lake Superior and capturing photos that maximized the beautiful fall colors and diverse geological features of our wedding location.
Andy has a keen eye that led to not only beautiful traditionally posed wedding portraits but also unique shots from a variety of angles and distances. He captured little details as well, including photographs of the rock cairns that made up our wedding aisle. The best shot of the day is a breathtaking shot we blew up as a 6’x3’ canvas print. We proudly showcase this photograph in our home and love the memories it brings to mind. Andy did a wonderful job and I would recommend his wedding photography services to anyone.
