Andrew and Matt photographed our wedding at Hugh McCanns in May. We wanted the photos to be natural, fun and just to be 'us', not staged or traditionally posed. They turned out brilliantly, we are so pleased. Our guests commented on how nice the guys were too. Delighted I booked them, highly recommend. Cherry & Michael O'Hare

I have used Andrews services twice now and have been blown away by his relaxed and professional approach. For someone who is naturally uneasy with photos been taken Andrew and his team made me feel extremely relaxed and comfortable at all times. If I could give more than 5 stars I would...

Andrew was our wedding photographer last August and we would highly recommend him. On the day Matt and himself were brilliant. They totally put us at ease and take such natural photographs. They make you so at ease as they snap away and from this came the most treasured photos. The cost of the photography is so reasonable and after the day is all over, it's so lovely to remember your special day with the photos. We got a wedding album and a large framed photo for our sitting room and we absolutely loved them. We would give Andrew and Matt give stars multiplied by a billion.

We couldn't have asked for more perfect wedding pictures. Andrew and Matts ability to know exactly how to get the perfect shot everytime is incredible. The relaxed Images they capture are a reflection of how they blend in to the crowd, unseen never missing capturing those perfect moments. The craic with the guys all day was great and they had everyone at ease. We had compliments from all the guests about them before they even seen the amazing pictures.

Andrew and Matt did the photography for our wedding in December 2020 having accomdated a date and venue change due to the pandemic. While searching for a photographer we found Andrew's photography packages to be fantastic value! On the day Andrew and Matt were extremely professional and had us all at ease, the guests commented on how fantastic they were. The photos are perfect, we could not be any more pleased with them. Would not hesitate to recommend Andrew to anyone!
