Andrew P was an outstanding photographer! We are so impressed with all the pictures he took. He was so enthusiastic about the space and capturing the golden shots. It made it really fun to have him with us on our wedding day. He was attentive and understanding with all the extra pictures we wanted to take throughout the day as well. Andrew worked so hard to make sure everybody was in the right place. He was great at telling us how to pose so that the photos came out looking natural. Meeting with him before the wedding put us at ease. He took really diligent notes and it was very obvious that he was invested in our wedding and the photos we wanted to take. It is so clear that he is very passionate about photography as an art. The photos he took were absolutely stunning!
