About

Andy King is a multiple-time recipient of The Knot Best of Weddings and WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards.

Andy is a Southern California and destination wedding photographer who’s based in San Diego. His brides & grooms are drawn to his captivating blend of photojournalistic & contemporary styles, attention to detail, and notably for his contagious personality.

His work has been described as “fresh and unique” for it’s innovative, edgy, ethereal qualities, and unconventionality. His overall approach to weddings captures spontaneity (natural expressions and moments), giving his art a more genuine feel.

Andy's true gift is his fun, calming, and motivational energy and the ability to really bring out the personalities of his bride & groom, their wedding party, family, and guests.

He travels both nationally and abroad for destination weddings. His travels take him anywhere from San Felipe to Hawaii and Costa Rica to Colombia. The artistry and technical mastery that provide the foundation for his work has gained national recognition.

"I’d say, I’m known for things getting a little weird. It may be a big part of what sets me apart. I’ve somehow always had the ability to get people to loosen up in front of the camera and get them to do things they wouldn’t normally do.

I also tend to have a different perspective on things and what I want out of an image. It’s not enough to just place a couple in a landscape and have them look at each other. I want to get more out of that couple and the location. I’m looking for something different, something real, and something out of our control.” ~ Andy King

Happy Bride!

We already knew this gem of a human for many years as he photographed my cousins wedding and two of my other friends. I was a bridesmaid in one of them and I knew immediately that he would be shooting my wedding. It's a vibe thing. He's hilarious. He keeps things going and doesn't spend an absurd amount of time on cheezy overposed pictures wish I absolutely didn't want. I wanted real and that is what you get. I thank God he was free for our wedding date. We had to change the date and were sooo afraid of not having Andy. Love my boy blue. Thanks KING!

There is no one like him, I can guarantee that.

Many many, Many stars for this outstanding photographer. There is no one like him, I can guarantee that. For starters, he was so helpful and knowledgeable. He helped us pack cars from the hotel to the venue, he pinned all of the bouteniers (spelling?), he arrived early and stayed later then the coverage he was supposed to do, he is above and beyond all expectations of a photographer. He just made my wife so happy, they had a total rapport. Same with my grumpy ass dad. Totally hit it off. We both loved that we got so many pictures back. When we were looking for photographers they were so hung up on only giving us 800 pictures. I don't know where that number coms from, but we had over 2300 hundred edited, beautiful, edited, behind the scenes, creative, posed, and unposed, and moments we didn't even see. We had over 500 off just the reception. That's what we wanted, our family and friends having fun too, not just us. He captured everything. Ver pleased, and forever grateful.

Andy King is the Best

I really wish we would have known about Andy for my sisters' weddings. Unfortunately they both had poor experiences. After spending a full day with Andy and his team we saw what a true professional is. The day and all of the planning was flawless. He is doing what he is meant to do and he shines at it. We are absolutely going to have him photograph our maternity and family pictures in the future. ************************************Stars

Amazing! 1000 Stars!

We hired Andy and his photography and videography team for our wedding, and we honestly could not be happier with our decision. From the very beginning, Andy was professional, friendly, and incredibly easy to work with. One of the things that stood out to us the most was how affordable he was while still providing such a high level of quality and service. He truly gave us so much more than we expected. Andy and his team worked together extremely well, and it was obvious they had great chemistry. They were organized, creative, and constantly coming up with unique ideas for shots while also capturing all of the natural moments happening throughout the day. They worked seamlessly together and made everything feel effortless.

We absolutely love, love, love our wedding pictures. We were completely blown away when we saw them. Every emotion, every laugh, every little moment was captured perfectly. The photos tell the entire story of our wedding day from the beginning all the way through the reception, and there was not a single important moment missed. The creativity was amazing. from the beautiful romantic shots to the hilarious candid moments, they captured every side of our wedding. The reception photos especially were incredible. They caught so many funny, unexpected, and genuine moments that we will be able to look back on forever.

Our guests absolutely loved Andy and his team. Throughout the night, we kept getting compliments about how great they were, how friendly they were, and how comfortable they made everyone feel. Andy’s second shooter, Bruna, was absolutely fantastic. She was outgoing, positive, creative, and such a joy to have there. Both of them felt less like vendors and more like they were actually part of our family celebrating with us. We honestly don’t know how they did it because they worked nonstop the entire day. They were constantly moving, capturing moments, setting up shots, and making sure nothing was missed. We don’t even think they had time to sit down and eat dinner because they were so dedicated to making sure they captured everything. Their commitment and work ethic were incredible.

We cannot thank Andy, Bruna, and the entire team enough for everything they did. They were not only talented photographers and videographers, but they were amazing people who brought so much energy and positivity to our wedding day. If you are looking for someone who is creative, affordable, professional, hardworking, and truly cares about capturing your memories, we highly recommend Andy. We will forever be grateful for the incredible job they did and the memories they created for us.

My daughter's wedding

My daughter recently got married and I wanted to praise Andy for everything he did to make her day special. We did a courthouse wedding and a dinner party in Little Italy. It was lovely and Andy helped make it that way. There were a lot of other bride and groom with their photographers at the courthouse, but Andy shined compared to them. He was so creative and so outgoing that you can see he loves what he does. My daughter was so so happy with the places Andy took them after the wedding for pictures. She was so happy when she talked the whole experience. Thank you Andy!

Just got my Pictures back !

I just got my engagment pictures back! I can believe this is even real life. Andy found a fairytale setting for our shoot based on what we described to him. Not sure how he did it, but there it was. We mentioned in our phone chat that we liked Cactus Coolers, so he showed up with them. He made the experience so special. It's going to be key memory and I can't wait for our wedding!

Andy Gets 10 Stars!

If I could give Andy 10 stars, I would! From the moment Andy arrived, he felt less like a vendor and more like a longtime friend. He was incredibly outgoing, positive, and genuinely excited to be a part of our wedding day. Within minutes, he had our wedding party laughing, our families relaxed, and somehow managed to become everyone’s favorite person at the wedding. Andy actually arrived early and stayed with us the entire time, making sure no special moment went undocumented.  Ourguests absolutely loved him. We had multiple people come up to us during the reception asking where we found our photographer because he was so friendly, engaging, and fun to be around. He somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever being intrusive. When we received our photos, we were completely blown away. Every image brought us right back to the emotions of the day. Andy didn’t just photograph our wedding he capture the feeling of it.  We joked that we wished we could pack Andy in our luggage and bring him on our honeymoon!

Superb! Highly Recommend

Superb! Andy's work is outstanding. My partner and I are a little on the older side and typically very uncomfortqble in front of the camera, but with Andy behind the camera, there was none of that. Such a good guy. There were so many things he did for us that were totally unexpected. We jumped in his Jeep to go after pictures at sunset, he had our favorite jam on the radio ready to go for it. He brought us drinks througout the night, helped the DJ load at the end of the night, helped my grandfather up after what turned out to be an extremely funny momet on te dance floor. We have pictures of EVERYTHING.

We received all of our picture in under 3 weeks, Andy did our picture timeline for us. He gave us great advise for how to handle our family pictures, so that they were actually fun and did not keep us away from our Cocktail Hour.

We feel very fortunate that we were referred to Andy!

All about style

We were drawn to Andy for his editorial and genuine style. My husband and I wanted the real moments captured and he didn’t disappoint. Our pictures are sensational.

Our wedding was a destination wedding and Andy arrived a day early to have a look around our location and meet everyone. It was as if he was family. The entire experience was flawless. :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
