I SHOOT PEOPLE AT WEDDINGS
I’m Andreas — the wedding photographer for people that don’t want their wedding photos to look like anyone else’s.
Because what’s the point of that?
You don’t need some “fine art, editorial, cinematic, documentary, timeless, authentic wedding storyteller” — you want someone who sees you as you are, is interested in your story, and who will capture your day exactly as it happens without making it all about them.
DO WHAT YOU WANT.
IT’S YOUR WEDDING.
SOME WORDS FROM MY PAST CLIENTS
“We have been to dozens of Indian weddings, and almost every photographer at those weddings posed or staged these moments. Some would even interrupt the religious part of the ceremony just so they could direct the couple to look into the camera, and I think what they miss out on, that you seemed to really capture, was the humanity and the honesty of this moment in our lives. These moments aren’t for a magazine shoot, they aren’t meant to be picture perfect, and you understood that about us. By just letting go and watching us, you captured the cultural elements perfectly.”
" Andreas, as you know, I had some real reservations with photography. Since the accident I've never liked my left side photographed, but you managed to create such beautiful portraits without my even realizing it, and for that I am forever grateful. Looking back at these photos ten years later reminds me how nervous I felt that day, but you'd never know it looking at how calm your portraits of me look. I'm glad I trusted you"
"When you and I spoke last year, you were literally the only photographer that didn't ask about what brand of dress I had or what "vibe" I was going for, instead, you asked about us and our relationships so you could focus on those people as well, and that Andreas, is why we hired you!"
" We wanted images of us to look back and remember what it looked like from everyone else's perspective, and I think you really captured that part of the day"
"All of the best photos from our wedding are the ones I didn't even realize were being made. Yes, I looked amazing, but these behind the scenes shots are exactly what we wanted but didn't know it at the time"
" You captured his personality perfectly in this image "
"I love our portraits Andreas, but these candid images of my parents are probably my favourite shots"
" I was getting so tired of the usual wedding photos of perfect looking brides. Your work feels real and also kinda funny, and I loved that"
" Love these images you captured, they are so US "
"A behind the scenes peak of a movie is how I would describe your style of photography"
"Love that you captured so many images showing what everyone was doing while I was focusing on my sexy husband"
" Had no idea where you were half the day, then we saw your photos and realized you saw everything happening"
"Well, I was certainly enjoying that night!"
" Well shit Andreas, that basically sums up the boys"

" Andreas captured the real us that day"

" Best. Day. Ever"
" I had the TIME OF MY LIFE that night! "
" Last year I was at six weddings as a guest and I was paying attention to the photographers - they were very obvious in their movement and presence, and at our wedding, it was like having a family friend there. Completely calm and easy going. "
