Testimonials
"Andy captured the day perfectly!"
I have photographed 100+ weddings here is a small selection of testimonials that I have received.
Laura & Tom
"We spent a long time researching wedding photographers before we came across Andy Sidders at a wedding fair and as soon as we met him and saw the quality of his photographs and albums we knew we had found a true gem.
We had a November wedding and wanted a photographer who was prepared to get a little cold and wet if necessary and be able to cope with the reduced daylight hours.
On our engagement shoot, Andy instantly put us at ease and took the time to get to know us. This meant that we were both much calmer on the actual wedding day and we had 100% confidence that he and his second shooter would capture it perfectly. We were not wrong about this, the end result was a set of stunning photos that we are so proud of.
Andy’s relaxed style of documentary-style photography was exactly what we wanted, catching people throughout the day naturally and making suggestions for some amazing photos, whilst also taking some more formal group photos that we asked for. The shots of us as a couple are all genuine so as we felt so at ease (despite this being the part we were most apprehensive about).
Andy handled the whole day calmly and professionally, helping us through the day and working with the venue to keep it all on track.
Many of our guests commented on the day about how much they liked him and how non-intrusive he and his second photographer were.
After we got the photos back so many people have said that it’s the best and most natural set of wedding photos they’ve seen.
We are so thrilled with all our photos which capture our day perfectly - looking through them brings so many memories back to life.
The amazing album he produced and then spent a long time tweaking for us is the best memento we could have asked for and honestly the best quality wedding album we (and everyone we’ve shown it to) has seen.
Dealing with Andy from start to finish has been a pleasure and we could not have asked for more in a wedding photographer. Thank you so much!"
Sally & Riccardo
"Andy is a fabulous and professional photographer.
When we were looking for photographers, it was important to find someone who captured candid moments; we couldn't care less about the stills of our shoes (although he did capture these quickly and beautifully); we desired a discreet photographer who knew how to take movement shots as my family loves to dance.
His attention to detail is second to none. He is the perfect balance of artistry and results. He is direct in his communication and guidance, and we avoided a lot of "awkward couple shots" as a result.
We felt comfortable with him, both in our complimentary engagement session (which only happened four days before the wedding, AND he provided us digital prints two days later so we could display them at the wedding), and for the day itself. We can't commend him more.
After the wedding, he took some time to adjust and perfect the 1000+ shots. I believe he sent the link 1.5 months after the wedding. They're perfect.
We're glad he's so detail-oriented and spent the time to curate the bunches of photos, which he provided in colour and b&w.
He truly captured our special day. There is literally nothing else we could've wanted. He's superb. Also... he loves a good puddle shot! He is willing to "suffer" for his art for sure.
Thank you, Andy!"
Vanessa & Michael
"Andy is the best photographer we could have asked for!
He has a very cool and chilled personality, and that definitely makes him the perfect person to have near you on your big day. He uses natural light so is very unobtrusive, managing to capture lovely looks between people and details we would otherwise have missed.
From the beginning, right through the very end, Andy was super professional and accommodating to our requests. He had the perfect balance of managing us and our guests to get some staged photographs as well as completely blending into the background to get natural shots.
It's so special to be able to look at some of the candid photographs and remember the moment, not even realising at the time that you were being photographed.
The photos are of high quality and captured the ambience and atmosphere of the day perfectly. Many of our guests were also complimenting Andy's approach. We would definitely recommend him!!
Thank you, Andy."
Ciara & Luke
"We've seen Andy photograph at another wedding. As soon as we got engaged we knew it was Andy we would ask to be our photographer based on the experiences we had seen at the other wedding and the photos produced.
We couldn't be happier with our choice.
Our own experience leading up to the wedding, the day itself and contact after has been nothing short of excellent.
Andy really does go above and beyond to get the best photos. Andy managed to capture ourselves and every single guest in natural candid shots which have been a delight to relive after the wedding day.
He captures every moment from the preparation, the detail of the decorations we had made ourselves, the venue, candid shots, formal shots, he scopes out the best backdrops for photos and works with you in such a natural way.
We have had so many comments from our guests about how great Andy was with everyone on the wedding day and also on the photos people have seen since.
We honestly cannot recommend Andy Sidders Photography enough to anyone considering a photographer for their big day."
Michelle & Jamie
"We would like to say a huge thank you to Andy for being a part of our wedding day in June.
He was absolutely amazing, could not fault a thing! Photos are amazing, just received the albums and all I can say is wow!! He captured the day perfectly! I could not recommend Andy enough, he really is a fantastic photographer!
Thank you so much!"
Jo & Tim
Theobalds Estate Wedding
"Andy is meticulous and doesn't miss a single detail from capturing all the personal handmade decorations to every look and glance. Our friends and family enjoyed chatting to him and on the day it felt like Andy was another guest rather than someone there to do a job.
The photos look so natural and perfectly capture every moment of our special day. We cannot thank Andy enough for all his hard work and would thoroughly recommend him."
Gary & Simon
"Andy is a star & brilliant at his job.
He took the time to meet us at our venue beforehand, find out what we were like and needed even when we didn't have much of a clue.
He was there early on the day and casually recorded our big day with warm photos for the small family wedding and then casual, non-staged photos of the garden party with our friends and family.
The results were stunning and service after the day excellent. I guess you would say that we were happy!! ..oh & he offered real value for money.
Thanks Andy"
Oana & Tom
"Andy was the photographer for our wedding in June last year.
We couldn't be happier with our choice!
He worked so hard on the day, running around to capture absolutely everything despite it being the hottest day of the year.
He shoots in a natural and candid style which meant the album we ended up with was a true reflection of the day. And his photos were crisp, clear and beautiful. Highly recommended."
Katie & Keith
"My wife and I were so pleased that we chose Andy to be our wedding photographer.
Andy took some amazing pictures of us at our wedding last year which we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
What made the pictures stand out was that he was able to capture the happiness of the day both in the formal and more informal pictures.
Andy was also great at putting us at ease. We opted to have a pre-wedding shoot which is a great way of getting to know him and we learnt how to pose and relax in front of the camera before the big day!
Also, we opted for a photo album and are very pleased with it. Andy gave us the option to edit the pictures and their layout. The finished product is great, very nice quality, both the pages and the binding.
Would we recommend him? Absolutely!"
Em & Ryan
"From the moment we approached Andy about our wedding, he made us feel so at ease and from that point onwards, he went above and beyond to capture our day in the most amazing way.
I know a lot of reviews say similar things but, truly, Andy really does go an extra mile to make you feel completely at ease. From walking for (what seemed like) hours on our pre-wedding shoot to braving the waves on the beach, there was not one moment missed.
Being photographed on one of the most special and emotional days of your life has the potential to cause some uncertainties and anxiety but never at any point of our wedding did Andy ever make us feel anything but comfortable. Even when the bride’s veil went missing 3 minutes before leaving, Andy never faulted in his calm, professional manner. His light-hearted approach and sense of humour was so much appreciated.
We could not believe the beautiful photos Andy captured for us. Every single time we look through them, we notice something else that we adore and another expression or emotion from our day.
The collection of Andy’s photos actually help you relive the day which we have delighted in doing today on our 1st Anniversary. We will treasure them forever thanks to Andy’s incredible visions and talent. Thank you, Andy, for making the whole process so easy and for providing us with the most special photos we could ever have imagined."
Sarah & Dan
"Andy worked tirelessly throughout our Wedding Day to capture every moment of the day from the preparations beforehand, throughout the ceremony and onto the reception and party in the evening and instantly put everyone at ease so as to get the best results.
The photos are all absolutely amazing and so many fantastic natural moments captured, we cannot recommend Andy enough. The only problem has been choosing which of the photos to actually display, we simply do not have enough walls!"
Niamh & Jesse
"Andy was very professional and it was a really good experience working with him for our wedding.
The photos are of great quality and I would thoroughly recommend anyone thinking of getting as a photographer for their event."
Claire & Tom
"We couldn’t recommend Andy highly enough.
Right from our pre-wedding shoot, where he put us at such ease, we were so happy and comfortable knowing what to expect from Andy on our wedding day.
He worked so hard on the day, capturing every moment we could have hoped for. He worked with the weather (the rain) and suggested an alternative way for us to still capture our confetti shot, a moment I’m so happy we still got to have, because of him.
We have just received our beautiful wedding album, which is something we’ll treasure forever.
Thank you, Andy, for all of your hard work on the day, and right up until you delivered our photos. We couldn’t be happier."
Maryam & Adam
"A year on from our wedding day and it’s been wonderful to look back over Andy’s photos, he captured the day absolutely perfectly. It was a day of four different venues for Andy to work with and with quick turn arounds in between we were asking a lot but Andy delivered everything and so much more.
We were really impressed with his efforts to scope out the venues beforehand to highlight some special shots including a secret spiral staircase plus some great open exposure shots capturing the London traffic during our walk down to the party.
Andy was everywhere yet unseen and he certainly worked hard buzzing around getting as many shots as possible. He was super flexible when things changed at the last minute, very professional and fun to be around. We would recommend Andy to you all!"
Joni & Calum
"Andy was absolutely wonderful. We are so pleased with our photos which are just perfect. Andy was lovely to meet and work with. Good humour, open to ideas and a brilliant eye for detail! He'll make sure to get a beautiful shot so just let him direct you a bit, it's very worth it! I don't know how he managed to get the amount of lovely photos he got! Didn't notice him for most of the reception (This is a compliment!) Would absolutely recommend! Thank you Andy!"
Sarah-Jane & Richard
"Andy, thank you so much, you were fantastic on our special day, so calm and organised. Richard and I have some truly amazing photos to cherish. Everything you did for us was very professional even down to the detail on the USB. We recommend you highly."
Nicola & Michael
"We can't thank Andy and his second photographer enough for our precious photos that captured every moment. Andy especially has been amazing and patient with all our requests in making our album perfect. I have received so many comments from friends that they would choose Andy for their weddings as our photos are so beautiful and natural. Andy had some challenges with getting all our shots captured in a limited time but he did it with complete chillness and style."
Natalie & Phil
"Andy was a delight to work with from the day we enquired about our wedding. He was happy to answer any questions we had and helped us get the best out of our wedding photography. The pictures are amazing considering the majority were not posed and captured the atmosphere of the day perfectly. Choosing a wedding photographer is difficult but I cannot recommend Andy enough."
Claire & Phil
"Andy and his colleague Gene shot our wedding in July and we couldn't be more satisfied with the whole experience. Even before we had signed anything, Andy talked through things with us at great length and we could tell he was very attentive and eager to provide us with the best possible service. This was proven when we had our pre-wedding photoshoot and he was willing to get down in the mud to get us the best shot!
The wedding came and Andy and Gene were shooting from morning to evening to get everything in, and delivered exactly the shots we wanted, getting all the 'essentials' and some lovely candid, natural photos.
We’ve not yet sorted the details of our album, but so far the process has been great, Andy being very flexible to tailor it to what we want, so we don't doubt that it will be a very fine finished product.
Going with Andy as a photographer was the best decision for one of the most lasting mementoes of the day. You certainly get your money's worth!"
Davina & Andrew
"Andy was fantastic to work with from the moment we booked him! He is so professional and lovely to work with, he manages to be everywhere he needs to be on the day and makes sure everything runs smoothly and calmly!
All of our guests commented on how wonderful he is and how nicely he came across. Both our engagement and wedding pictures are just perfect, what we loved was the way he has captured lovely and natural moments when people didn't realise he was there.
If you are still deciding on a photographer for your big day, don't go anywhere else! Really can't recommend Andy highly enough, thank you so much for capturing our special day perfectly xx"
Ellie & Sam
"Thanks, Andy for our incredible wedding pictures, you captured all the details and moments of our day, we couldn't have asked for more. You were so easy and friendly on the day, which several of the wedding party commented on. We can't thank you enough and would certainly recommend you."
Kerry & Chris

"The photos were absolutely fantastic… We are so happy with them and would like to thank you for a fantastic and professional job you did for us on the day."
Siobhain & Tomas
"We can not thank Andy enough for the exceptional job he did on our wedding day. The photographs captured the day perfectly from the smallest details through to being inclusive of all of our guests. He was calm, fun and professional at all times. We are thrilled with our wedding album and the two we gave as gifts to both sets of parents. We would not hesitate to recommend."
Helen & James
"Andy was excellent, so professional and completely went above and beyond. We are so happy with our final photos and our printed album. Andy was extremely professional and the second photographer he had was also amazing. We couldn’t have asked for more. On the hottest day of this year both gentlemen acted amazingly and got the finished product desired. Thank you so much. We will forever remember our wedding as it was and that is down to you. Thanks!"
Erica & Adam
"We loved having Andy as our wedding photographer. He was relaxed, friendly and professional throughout the day and the pictures were fantastic. What more could you ask for!"
Ruth & Simon
"We would highly recommend Andy as your wedding photographer, he really captured the atmosphere of our special day and we couldn’t be happier with the photos. He was incredibly friendly and helpful from the start offering up ideas and suggestions on getting the best shots from the day. Andy arrived bang on time and was really unobtrusive as he mingled round our guests which made everyone feel comfortable leaving us with the most relaxed, fun images from the day. Thank you Andy."
Natasha & Dan
"Andy really is a talented photographer... on the day, Andy and a second photographer (brought along by Andy) could not of worked any harder to be exactly where they needed to be for all of those key moments... Andy captured the true essence of us and our day. I could not of asked for any more... fabulous all the way and I'm looking forward to using Andy again to capture all future key moments in our lives... seriously guys, only dedication, experience and true love for photography captures pictures like Andy did. They were stunning!"
Amanda & Luis
"Our experience with Andy was superb from day one. He made us feel extremely comfortable and his friendly, confident manner was excellent for getting great results. We love our engagement and wedding photos, they are beyond beautiful, and we were so pleased we chose Andy as our photographer. I have already recommended him to friends/family and will continue to do so."

Jane & Chris
"Thanks Andy for the great memories you captured at our wedding. The way you managed to get all 100 guests together was impressive. Highly recommend."
Trupz & Sam
"Truly unforgettable; not really sure how words can ever describe how Andy has captured each and every moment in his photographs from our wedding. He made us feel comfortable in our own skin from the pre-wedding shoot up until the wedding day itself, always putting us first before everything else. He truly enjoys photography and will always put in more than 100 percent. A friendly person and a joy to work with. Thank you so much for our beautiful photos Andy, we cannot wait to start working on the album."
Nisha & James
"Andy provided the perfect wedding photography service for our wedding - we could not have made a better choice. The pre-wedding advice he offered for how long to allow for photos was spot on and really helped with planning. On the big day he was organised and very charismatic which put everyone at ease (particularly the Bride & Groom!) The photos were fun, efficient and high quality and really captured every part of our wedding day."
Emma & Sandeep
"Andy - you are not just professional but so friendly. You captured our day beautifully and so naturally and we cannot wait to see our final album. You were fantastic! You were so patient and we felt you went above and beyond to catch every moment perfectly for us on our special day! Thank you so much."
Natalie & Craig
"Andy's professionalism on our wedding day was amazing and his experience allowed us to actually fully enjoy having our photos taken. The photo sessions did not take up too much of our time meaning that we were able to relax with all the guests and didn't feel we were being dragged from one photo location to another. The results speak for themselves: beautiful group and family shots that capture what our day was really about! We are especially pleased about all the detail shots that were taken and would recommend Andy to any bride and groom who'd like to have a professional photographer with creative ideas."
Agi & tom
"Andy did a fantastic job as our wedding photographer. He was very professional and also very calm and kind which was great as I was very excited but also a bit nervous. He was very punctual too. He knew which would be the best spots for the photos, the perfect lights and had great eyes for the details. This is the reason why I don’t have one favourite photo of our wedding but about 50! I love looking at our wedding photos again and again. I would very much recommend him as your photographer for your big day!"
Ellie & Andrew
"I cannot recommend Andy enough. He was not only professional, skilled and passionate throughout both our engagement shoot and wedding day, but he was also thoughtful and considerate to our actual needs.
Prior to the wedding, I was concerned about the getting ready photos and having someone extra around, but he just got on with it and it was as if he wasn’t even there!
The actual photos are amazing and beautifully put together into an album that we constantly look at and show others and we will cherish it forever.
Thank you, Andy, for capturing our day so perfectly."
Chelsea & Tom
"We LOVE our photos!
A huge thank you for your help in making our day so special."
Laura & Shane
"We would like to thank Andy and his team for the amazing photos we got for our wedding! They are stunning and we love them thank you, Andy"
Jacqui & Marco
"Andy Sidders was/is the best find in photography. He turns up with a lovely smile, a relaxed approach. Made me laugh with his ease as I got ready.
He spent the entire afternoon and evening taking amazing photos for our wedding and our friends. I hate having my picture taken. Andy somehow took lovely photos of me! Now that is a first!
He helped make our day extra special.
Thanks, Andy"
Rebecca & Aditya
"Thanks for the photos. Rebecca and I both are very pleased with how the photos have turned out and we feel all the photos put together captured the wedding day perfectly. The collection is just the way we imagined it to be and we are very grateful for your effort.
Di & Si
"Andy did the photography at our wedding at Theobalds Park, Ridings Barn. He was absolutely brilliant, very professional and was very relaxed with everyone when taking the photos of the day. We were very impressed with the photos we got and they were delivered really quickly after the day. We felt he really captured the atmosphere of the day and we would highly recommend Andy to everyone for their photography."
Rachel & Frank
"Andy captured our wedding perfectly. He dealt well with the fact that we don't like having our photos taken! He was lovely and friendly and did a great job of subtly getting us all into position for group shots. The end result was delivered quickly and beautifully finished. Highly recommended!"
Kimberley & Joe
"I don't know what to say! I will start by saying thank you Andy!
Andy is passionate about his job and puts in 100 percent!
The photos are amazing! Andy was so friendly and so easy to get on with!
We can't wait to work with Andy to create our wedding album to treasure our memories forever where Andy was kind enough to capture!
I highly recommend!"
Jacinta & Nick
"You were absolutely fantastic on the day and we were so grateful that you were our photographer for our wedding!
Thank you so much for your generosity, patience and hard work, it can’t have been easy getting all of my family and our friends to just stand still and have their photo taken, but you did manage this, like herding cats I suppose!
Thank you too for some really very nice photos!
Also, many of the guests commented on your pleasant and professional manner, thank you!"
Fran & Malc
"Thank you so much for the amazing photos of our wedding day, you guys worked so hard all day and really managed to capture every magical moment in such quality, we love the photos, amazing work, can't thank you enough!"
