We highly, highly recommend hiring Andrew as your wedding photographer. Not only do we absolutely love the photos he took, but he was so flexible and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Very professional and kind in all of our interactions. Our families, wedding party, and guests also had nothing but incredible things to say about Andrew and his team. We are truly blown away with the end result and would recommend his services to anyone!

I truly cannot recommend Andrew enough! He was the absolute perfect amount of “there” throughout the entire day- never intrusive or bothersome, but somehow always exactly where we needed him to be and completely on top of everything. There are so many things I would have completely forgotten about in the excitement of the day, and I didn’t have to worry about any of them because he had it handled. He reminded us when it was time for sunset photos, reminded us to cut the cake, and even noticed when we hadn’t gotten photos with certain family members yet. He kept us on track without ever making the day feel rushed or like we were being pulled away from our guests. I had specifically asked to keep the formal photos quick because we wanted to get back to the party, and he was amazing. He knew exactly how to pose us, gave clear direction, and got so many great shots incredibly quickly. We never felt awkward or like we were standing around forever taking pictures. And somehow, after all of that, he sent us sneak peeks the very next day and they are absolutely beautiful! He was professional, organized, easy to be around, and genuinely made our wedding day easier. He was awesome from start to finish, and I truly cannot recommend him enough!

dding day, Andrew was so kind and helpful. We appreciated how he was laid back and flexible, but also gave good direction to get different shots and helped keep things moving. We have gotten endless compliments on our wedding photos - clear, bright, and a great mix of staged photos and candids. Andrew is truly worth the investment!

capture the day from every angle. The quality of photos is amazing. Andrew found so many great candid moments to capture, took care to compose beautiful, classic images of my wife and I, and captured the day with grace and beauty. At no point does any moment look forced, nor is there any overdone editing. When people say they want authentic, natural photos, this is it! The pictures are such incredible memories of our beautiful day – and hopefully yours will be as well. And as a bonus – Andrew was quick with editing and compiling the galleries for our engagement shoot and wedding.

ect and easy to work with and incredibly timely and efficient with his work. Andrew took the time to get to know me and my husband and asked all the right questions to prepare us and him for wedding day. Andrew was there the whole wedding day taking amazing pictures and capturing our day with his partner. Two days after the wedding we received some sneak peek photos and two weeks to the day following the wedding we received our full album after being told a 2-3 week wait time and having holidays in the mix. The pictures are incredibly breathtaking and capture our day so amazingly. Thank you for sharing your amazing work with us Andrew! Highly recommend Hager Photography!

My husband and I truly could not have picked a better person to photograph our wedding day, because not only did he capture every moment of the day perfectly, he managed to capture...

exactly who we are as a couple and people among our closest friends and family. We have not only the classic, beautiful, posed shots with our loved ones side by side but also the absolute best candid photos that follow us through our day from start to finish. He was subtle in his approach (truly a fly on the wall!) but definitely went above and beyond to make sure he got every moment on camera, from the littlest nieces and nephews dancing it out on the floor, our teary-eyed faces during the speeches, the rainy bliss of our ceremony, the decor, the food, even our final dance together. All the guests raved about his style and the amazing photos he took! We also had the opportunity to work with Andrew before for our engagement shoot and it was wonderful to have a sense of his style beforehand and gave him a chance to get to know our preferences for the big day. He was so flexible and accommodating with our vision, plus provides incredible value with what he offers. We really couldn't recommend his services more highly!

and he made my husband and I feel so comfortable. The photos came out better than I could have imagined and he got every shot I asked for and more. An even bigger bonus is all of the photos were sent to us in just 3 weeks! An incredible turn around with such high quality. I couldn’t recommend Andrew more!

Brendan A

he day of the wedding was an amazing experience! He captured every moment effortlessly! Most photographers that we've dealt with in the past are always in your face and take away from the experience, but not Andrew. So many times you didn't even know he was there, but was able to capture the essence of the moment and memorialize it for us! A man of his word! He told us we'd have the final pictures by X date... and he delivered! And OH BOY!!! We were not expecting to see such amazing photos. We were both blown away! Do yourself a favor and hire him, you won't regret it! We're definitely going to hire him again for more events and I will be recommending him to anyone needing a superb photographer!

He came early to both the ceremony and the reception, happily traveled 90 miles across MA from one to the other, and made even our more photo-hesitant guests and family members feel at ease. He was responsive to every email and was very flexible as we were figuring out how to plan a pandemic wedding. He even gave some helpful suggestions for how to organize the reception and make sure we had all the photos we wanted! Furthermore, he edited our photos FAST - we received the highlights just a couple of days after the wedding and the rest of the collection two weeks later.
