About

Photos full of vibrant colors and emotion!

Aloha! I'm Andy and I'm an Oahu-based couples and wedding photographer focused on the connection found between two people.

Whether it's on the wedding day, a more romantic day-after session, or even sessions celebrating anniversaries, my goal is to help you connect and to capture those moments as life-long memories.

Shooting weddings for over ten years now, I know how the days flow and have lots of insights into making a wedding day calm and memorable. I also have learned how to create space for real connection.

My images have won multiple international awards and honorable mentions in a variety of contests.

I love the islands and I'm more than excited to share some of my favorite things to do while you're here

Reviews of Andy Stenz Photography

Andy Stenz is a fantastic photographer and human being, and if you have a reason and the opportunity to book him for your wedding (or even just for a fantastic couple’s photo shoot), you absolutely should do so immediately.

We first heard of Andy Stenz through our caterer, Chef Jack’s, who recommended him highly. He met us for coffee to talk about his style and his mindset regarding wedding photography, and we had such a good time chatting with him that we stayed almost 2 hours for a 1-hour meeting! It was just so fascinating for us to talk to someone so knowledgeable (he knows the wedding industry inside out), warm (he encouraged us to do our own thing as much as we could), and engaging (we had so many interests in common that it was like meeting an old friend!).

We loved working with Andy because he is engaging, entertaining, intelligent, thoughtful, and warm on a personal level, which you want in a photographer for such an important event. His work is stylish and he works hard to make sure he has the perfect shots, which can be purchased in numerous forms (albums, prints, canvases). He has tons of ideas for how to make the day all about the couple and helps make the day perfect beyond just the photography--really, he’s a man of all trades! We deeply appreciated his advice on several matters that we asked him about. Everyone loved him on the wedding day, from children to grandparents. His knowledge and skill are both very strong, and I wish we had unlimited money because we would fly to Hawaii for an annual (well, okay, maybe it would be every 5 years) photo shoot with Andy. He’s the best professional and the only person we could have imagined taking photos of us on our wedding day. I could go on and on about his skills and how wonderful he is, but I don't want you to spend any more time reading this review. Just contact him and book him already for a beloved session or wedding!

Andy is an amazing photographer and a beautiful person. He worked smoothly with our busy day, gave us time to celebrate during our day and helped support us in so many little ways. How many times does your photographer come to the rescue when you need a track for the guarder toss? Andy even made the day extra special for our families with short beloved sessions with our parents. We really could not have asked for anything more and it all comes from the fact that Andy loves his job!

Andy is way more than just a photographer- he's an awesome person who can photograph your wedding day while also helping out with the schedule to keep everyone on track and organizing people for group shots- He got a lot of great shots on our wedding day that were made possible only because he had the vision and the drive to make them happen! We were blown away by how many of the photos we got back were our favorites! We loved that Andy always had time for us- we didn't feel like "just another client" to him- in fact, he was so helpful and quick to respond to our emails that we felt like there were no other clients. Andy felt more like a great new friend than a wedding photographer. He's still the only person we refer to by name; everyone else was "the DJ" or "The florist", but Andy has always been just Andy. :) Before we chose our photographer we worried a little bit about being "stiff" in our photos, but Andy made it so easy for us to feel relaxed and comfortable having our photo taken! We loved how fun the experience was.

Andy did a phenomenal job for our wedding! He was professional, yet fun and laid back. If you want a no-stress photography experience, go with Andy! Neither of us like to be photographed, but Andy made it easy. His photos are fantastic, and you gain a friend in the process. Thank you, Andy!

Andy is an amazing photographer. We just got our engagement pictures back and they were amazing! Not your standards stiff engagement shots. He asked us questions, had us play games and captured the true emotions in our relationship.
I cannot wait to see how he does with the Wedding!

My wife and I were blown away by Andy's work. His kindness, sound advice, and responsiveness are only out-shined by his professionalism and photography. He captured the emotion of the day in ways we would never have dreamed possible. He even somehow managed to capture the beauty of my wife in a photograph, which is practically impossible to do with any bride. We'll be hiring him again, and again, and again.

Andy was fantastic to work with and I would highly recommend him to any bride looking for the best photographer in Milwaukee! His pictures turned out truly amazing and he was very friendly and outgoing. His photos captured everyone in the moment and they showed emotion. We loved all our photos and have had many complements from our friends and family.

We also did an engagement photo shoot with Andy which gave us the opportunity to get to know him and his style. I would highly recommend doing that. He used those photos to make a guest book which turned out awesome.

Andy is all around a great photographer who can capture your special day. His photos turned out beautiful and was a pleasure to work with on our special day. Thanks Andy!

You couldn't possibly go wrong by hiring Andy for your photography. I was SO happy with the photographs and got so many compliments from people. I would say he will exceed your expectations. He has a talent for getting the most natural looking photos out of couples. I honestly can't say enough good things about Andy's talent!

My Mom, who tends to shy away from pictures, said it best during the preparation on our wedding day: "He's so nice and just so comfy, I didn't even realize he was there...I really like him!" After being to many weddings, and sadly seeing photographers who tend to be more obvious and intruding on the ceremony, I really wanted someone who would do an awesome job, yet not take away from the biggest day of our lives....and that someone was Andy! He caught special moments, that in the craziness of your wedding day flying by, I didn't get to let soak in, and moments that I had even forgotten about...but now have them all in print! Besides his great attitude, he does phenomenal work! We couldn't be happier with our pictures and experience!

If your looking for a photographer who is energetic and laid back. Andy Stenz is the photographer you should pick. We had people at our wedding who complemented how full of energy and fun Andy was during the entire day of our wedding. It was a pleasure to work with him. He wasn't just a vendor but felt as though he was part of the wedding party. I give Andy 5 STARs and I would give more if the scale was bigger. Thank you Andy

I worked with Andy at a wedding I had officiated during the summer of 2016. Andy is a TOTAL professional, and by that I mean that he is approachable and friendly, does not draw attention to himself, took amazing traditional and creative shots! He is very relaxed when he works and that helped to put me at ease, but it is clear from looking at the bride and groom's photos that his confidence and style relax his subjects and allow him to capture the beauty and spirit of the moment.
