Whenever I think of photography, I think of Andrea. I have known her for years and have watched her business grow from just her and her camera- to now having it ALL! She exudes high energy, laughter, fun, and love and captures your precious memories in the moment. I have used her for children sessions, mommy & me and most recently our engagement pictures! I cannot help but recommend Andrea to anyone I know that is looking to have pictures done. She’s great with whatever your needs are, flexible and has some creative ideas to bring to the table. You will not be disappointed! Our engagement pictures turned out INCREDIBLE!! And we got many more to choose from than we imagined!

Where do I even start…Andrea and I have known each other for over 20 years starting in 4th grade. While in school we were never considered close friends, but we never had an issue speaking to each other. After we graduated, we would see each other around our hometown, and every time we did, we would catch up, have a few laughs, and go about our separate ways. There were always the occasional “likes” on Facebook but yet we could always reach out to each other and keep in touch.

Fast forward a few years…my fiancé at the time asked me “do you know any photographers who can do our wedding?” It didn’t take me long to think of Andrea and I immediately looked up her business (Whimsical Roots Photography) and sent her a message asking if she could photograph our wedding. As excited as I was when my now husband asked me to marry him, I was just excited when Andrea said “YES!”.

From start to finish, Andrea was nothing but kind, professional, and willing to listen to all of the questions that we had and patient enough to answer them all, and because of our history, it was great to catch up on our personal lives as well.

The day of our wedding, even though I was freezing my butt off outside, Andrea kept my laughing the entire time and even let me borrow her hand warmers to keep me from turning purple. Once we moved inside, she did exactly like we discussed…fly on the wall photography, which was shown in the photos after and made us feel that we were there all over again.

What our biggest takeaway from this experience was, not only how Andrea treated my husband and I, but the number of comments that we received from our guests PRAISING the amazing job that Andrea did. She never pressured them into taking a picture, always had a smile on, and made our guests laugh the night away. Every picture of our family and/or friends, you can see how much FUN they had, and it was very evident by what they said about her and what we saw through the photos.

Words can never describe how thankful we are that Andrea was able to be there on our special day. I am beyond blessed that she has been in my life for as long as she has and that she could be a part of this day, one of the biggest days of my/our life. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being there and for taking such good care not only of us, but most importantly, of our family and friends.

I was so nervous picking out a wedding photographer, but couldn't be more happy I chose Whimsical Roots! Andrea's professionalism and friendliness truly relieved any fears I had and allowed my husband and I to really enjoy our day.

She went above and beyond my requests - even driving a golf cart with us mid-dinner to help us capture some "golden hour" photos!

Our photos turned out beautiful and I loved sharing them with family and friends. I'm so so grateful for her work. I would've been a lot more stressed without her! I look forward to her capturing more important life-moments for my husband and I in the future. Highly recommend!
