When I was searching for photographers, many of the ones I came across were a lot of flash and not enough substance. Everyone used a ton of filtering and unsightly vignetting. I wanted photos that would not only look great when I first saw them but also when I saw them for the 100th time. When I came across Andy's photos I was delighted to find someone with a very clean and great eye! Following up to and after the wedding, Andy was always very responsive and happy to discuss with you what exactly you want for your wedding day. He definitely helped ease my mind. On the day of, all my guests were coming up to me and saying how great and friendly Andy was. I coudn't have asked for better! If you're looking for photographs that will look great for a lifetime, go with Andy!

We were lucky enough to have Andy as our second shooter with Marie Garrison as our main photographer. Andy was a ton of fun, very comfortable to be around, super efficient at posing us, and got really incredible shots. We are so happy with how all our photos came out with the two of them working as a team.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Andy and Faith. We booked a package that included engagement and wedding photos. Both events were fantastic! Our photos are beautiful and it was difficult to pick our favorites! From our guest sign in book, to our portrait and wedding albums all final pictures and products were beautiful and completed quickly and professionally. Thank you! We highly recommend Andy Sams Photography'!

Our wedding was photographed by Andy and Faith just over one year ago. My wife and I are still in awe of their marvelous work, and remember fondly their professionalism, enthusiasm, and grace.

I found no wedding advice to be truer than that the special day has a way of flying by. Try as you might, you will struggle to accomplish your every plan, greet every guest, remain calm enough to enjoy yourself, or recall all of the details. I really believe then that there is no more important decision than your wedding photographer. When we received our photos from Andy, we were absolutely floored by his ability to actually capture the feeling (the atmosphere!) of the day - the happiest day of our lives.

To think - of all the planning, effort, and expense of our big day, our wedding photos will be the most enduring, cherished keepsake. We are so grateful to have worked with Andy and Faith. The passion they bring to this work is transcendent.

If you're even considering working with Andy, I highly recommend giving him a call for a meeting. You won't need to look any further.

Congrats in advance!

Seriously, look no further for your photographer. Andy and Faith were absolutely amazing. I can't say enough amazing things about them. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! Working with them was so much fun. We just got out photos back and I'm getting to relive our day over and over again because of all the amazingness they captured! They were there for every moment big or small. So happy with their work!!!

Any one looking for a photographer should choose Andy. One thing that really makes him stand out, is he gets to know the couple first and that helps him capture all of those moments that you want to remember. He talks with you the week of the event to make sure he gets every photo that will be important to you. He was very professional and everyone at the wedding said that him and Faith did a fantastic job! He was so wonderful to work with and we are beyond happy with our photos. They are breathtaking and so professional. I HIGHLY recommend him for your event! You will have amazingly, beautiful pictures after.

We came across Andy Sams Photography through a preferred vendor list from our reception venue (Westwood Country Club) - boy am I glad we did! After interviewing about four other wedding photographers, I knew the instant I left my initial meeting with Andy, that I wanted him and his wife to capture our wedding. Andy was so easy to talk to (like we had been friends for years) and was really in depth in our first meeting. I felt like he really listened to me and got a great feel for the type of wedding I wanted to capture.
We used Andy for all our of photography - Engagement photos, bridal portraits, and the wedding/reception. What I loved was, he was always on time to every appointment we had and always came with a game plan. For our engagement photos, we gave him a general area in Austin that we wanted to have them done and before our appointment he went around the area and scouted out potential locations - we loved every single one of them! It was 90 degrees outside and my husband was in jeans and a sport coat, so him being prepared really made my husband happy :) My bridal portraits turned out beautiful and he did a fantastic job at putting me at ease (since taking solo pictures can always be a little awkward :). As far as our wedding photos go, he and his wife (Faith), captured every moment beautifully. I love their photo journalistic approach to photos - everything seems to flow perfectly. The photos were stunning, hilarious, (some) embarrassing, etc. - everything I wanted to remember from my wedding. They did an incredible job capturing not only all the events and everyone at the wedding, but also the decor and atmosphere of the wedding. I had 300 people at my wedding, so it was very hard for me to get around and speak to everyone and capture everything that was going on. Looking through my photos, it was like I was reliving the wedding all over again - literally gave me chills. I would recommend Andy and Faith 100 times and then some :)

Andy and Faith are beyond FABULOUS! Andy was very fast to respond to emails through out the whole planning process and fast to get my photos back to me. He called me up, because I live in Houston and my wedding was in Wimberley, and we chatted before I committed to using him. That right there was very nice because he got to know me and I got to know him and what his personality was
like. He is super personable and flexible. He did outstanding at my bridals in Austin, TX and worked with me through all the hiccups that day, When it came time for the big day, he and Faith were there early and ready to go! They work so well with people and really make you feel comfortable and like you can be yourself. The quality of his photos was what really drew me towards using him for my photography. They are so clear, crisp and vibrant. I am super picky about my photos and he did an AMAZING job! I would recommend using Andy Sams Photography to anyone I know that lives in Austin or surrounding areas. I also would recommend them for your destination wedding if you are from out of town. He made living hundreds of miles away EASY! I may have to drive up to Austin to do family photos with them once a year!! That's how much I LOVE their work!! If you chose to use Andy Sams Photography you will be so happy you did!

Andy and Faith Sams are a phenomenal team and true professionals. The package we chose had engagement photos with Andy first and then our wedding had both Andy and Faith. I highly recommend getting a package that includes engagement photos because an afternoon with Andy will put to ease any concerns you might have had about choosing a photographer. The photos come out beautifully (both from engagement and from wedding). The photos are taken with a full knowledge of composition, lighting, and knowing the limits of the camera. The focus in the photos is crisp and the editing is done with a subtle hand. Andy and Faith take photos that will stand the test of time rather than using photography gimmicks that will look dated in a few years. Outdoor shots come out perfectly with non-washed out backgrounds and indoor photos look so natural that you'd never guess a flash was used. Andy and Faith are very warm and inviting, get along well with the guests, and are such professionals at what they do that you won't remember seeing them, but once you review the photos, you'll realize that they captured all of the moments you wanted captured: not only the big moments from the ceremony and reception, but also warm candid and portrait shots of all of your guests having a wonderful time. I can't recommend them enough!

Andy is absolutely a DREAM to work with! My only regret is I should have paid for a few extra hours to have him come earlier on my wedding day to capture even more of the BIG DAY! Throughout the ENTIRE planning process Andy was quick to respond to emails, hop on a call with me and make great suggestions for the wedding. He is great at helping with the timing for the day. I received my photos in less than six week after my wedding which compared to some of my friends, they had to wait a lot longer than that. Andy and his wife, Faith are talented photographers and really know how to make you relax and have a good time while taking photos. Andy is extremely flexible and made it so easy to pick him as our photographer. If we need a photographer in the future for family photos or another event, he will be the first person I call. I would recommend him to any and everyone looking for a photographer!
