Talented guy and really easy to just talk to about what you want with no pressure. His photos are clearly put together with time and effort and being independent seems happy to do whatever we wanted.

Report
We got Andy and Kenny to photograph our wedding in October 2018 as well as getting our engagement pictures taken, and we couldn't be happier with their work. They were so friendly and professional, made us feel extremely at ease, and we can't wait to receive our pictures from the big day.

Andy always dedicates a lot of time in his consultations to make sure he captures exactly what you want in his photos. He has done a couple of projects for my business and has also photographed a friends wedding and all photos have been brilliant. The photo books and presentation of everything is done with class and thoughtfulness. I would highly recommend Red Manhattan photography

I have worked with Andy on many shoots, involving detailed and lifestyle products. His work is always of an extremely high standard, and he has a meticulous eye for detail. His professional approach is a delight to work with, and always goes above and beyond the brief. I look forward to working together again in the future.
