Andrea of The Observatory is a true artist. We knew Andrea was the right photographer for us after our first meeting. Andrea’s photography style and portfolio make her stand out and not only is she talented, she’s also beyond friendly and made working with her a lot of fun. Andrea guided us with her recommendations to create our wedding day timeline which kept us organized throughout the planning process. We can truly say everything went according to schedule which made us very happy, and relieved! Andrea and her partner Stephen put everyone at ease and captured our special moments from getting ready, to our First Look, to our church ceremony to our reception. We can’t recommend Andrea enough & are so grateful to have worked with her!

Andrea was my dream wedding photographer! She was incredibly thorough in all the upfront planning and flexible on the day of when we asked for any additional pictures, changes, etc. She prides herself on capturing the day and not being part of the day - and she does it! She was there but never obtrusive and got everything we asked for. She delivered all of our photos on time and they are amazing. It was so great to relive the day through her lens. In addition to all the standard bride/groom/family snaps, we asked her to really focus on our family and friends so we had amazing photos of all those dear to us. She did not disappoint. The smiles, joy and laughter come through on every shot. Thanks Andrea!

OMG...where do I begin! The documentary style of Andrea's images were so stunning that I had to order ALL 887 photographs! It took me hours and hours to get down to 200 images to put in an album. The funny thing is that I hardly remember them being at the wedding..that's how descrete they were:) AND, they are such nice people. Worth every dollar paid.

It is always such a pleasure to work with Andrea. Not only is she an incredible photographer, but also a beautiful soul! Her pictures always tell a story, it's never an effort to feel them. She also always seems so calm and focused, which I think plays a big part of why she captures the perfect photos!

Andrea and her associates are simply fabulous. I love working with each and every one of them. They are professional, courteous, and kind people. They actually look at the timeline and work with the couple and the other vendors at the wedding. And the photos - oh the photos. So beautiful. There is nothing else to say!
