Andre was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. During the initial consulting window, he was incredibly patient and accommodating of my busy schedule which made timing a little difficult. He was clear and concise about what his process was, and took the time to get to know me and my fiancée. In the days leading up to our proposal shoot, Andre was incredibly communicative and patient with my last minute barrages of questions and adjustments as I nervously tried to make sure that every detail of my upcoming proposal was perfect, which really helped put my mind at ease. Finally, the big moment of my proposal and the session we had afterwards were wonderful. We loved working with Andre and appreciated his eye for setting and posing, which culminated in a breathtaking photoshoot that my fiancée and I tear up with joy looking at.
Andre's work ethic, professionalism, responsiveness, and just overall kind-hearted nature helped make this important moment in our lives so memorable, and we could not be more appreciative.

Andre did a wonderful job with our wedding photos! They turned out beautiful! He is really easy to work with and very friendly from consultations to taking pictures day of. He also finished up our photos quite a bit faster than expected. Would highly recommend him! :)

Had an absolute blast with Andre! He was super communicative, and fun to work with. He listened to what my wife and I wanted, what our vision was. He arrived to the location early to scout out the area and ended up finding an area that worked far better than what my wife and I found. He was energetic and was able to capture our special moment perfectly! Super well priced for his work too!

Andre was AWESOME, and we would highly recommend him to anyone! He photographed our February wedding and his hard work, clear communication, humility, professionalism, and joy make him an easy person to hire for your special occasion. Please read on for more details...but for real, keep reading!
Andre was very professional but was also relaxed and could laugh and have fun with us. Despite it being freezing outside, with lots of sun and snow on the ground, he captured great pictures. This was no easy task, considering chilly people, lighting contrasts, and squinty eyes, but he rolled with it! The indoor pictures were equally great! He beautifully captured me and my husband, despite my pasty-white winter skin next to my dark, West African husband. If you know, you know! It can be difficult to get good pictures with the contrast, but Andre nailed it! I am not a social media gal, and I am admittedly unnatural posing in front of a camera (my husband is much better!), but Andre guided us and helped us relax and enjoy the process! We were impressed by all the moments he captured as the only photographer that day. He was really discreet during the ceremony, so we didn't even notice him, which allowed us to be present and focus on each other and those around us. We especially loved the couples, candids, and gifs he captured!
Andre's work ethic and communication are unmatched. He communicated excellently before, during, and after our wedding! Right after our wedding, the poor man didn't have wifi, so he used that time to edit our photos, and HE GOT THEM BACK TO US WITHIN A WEEK. We weren't expecting to get them back that quickly at all! We were definitely spoiled at the expense of Andre's lack of wifi, but it just speaks to his character and work ethic that he used that time for editing! Thank you for that, Andre!
This man truly has a God-given gift as a photographer and artist. If you check out his portfolio, he has a wide range of skill and versatility, capturing travel, artistic, lifestyle, wedding, engagement photos, etc. To be able to do this is really an incredible gift, and we are so grateful he captured photos that we get to admire for the rest of our lives and share with our family and friends! Thank you thank you thank you, Andre!

If you are looking to have the most beautiful pictures of your big day, Andre is the right choice. We LOVED working with Andre. In our first call I told him that I wanted the pictures to capture our emotions, and that is exactly what we got. He is super nice, fun and did an amazing job guiding us and making us feel comfortable. Lastly, even when he anticipated the pictures to be delayed, we received them faster than expected.
