    10/10 recommend

    We had a wonderful experience with Andrew as our NYE wedding photographer. From the beginning, he was helpful in talking through the wedding day plans and helping us talk through some of the logistics too. I feel like he really took the time to get to know us and help to make our wedding special.

    Wedding day, he was very willing to take charge and helped play timekeeper too. He was very professional and seemed to just like what he does. We enjoyed working with him and are so appreciative of our photos!

    You spend a lot of time with your photographer on wedding day, so make sure to find someone awesome. 100% would work with Andrew again.

    Look no further for your photographer!

    Andrew (and his other photographers) were incredible people to work with! Andrew is not only an incredibly talented photographer but such a supportive person that truly made our engagement photos and wedding day photos exactly what we were hoping for and more! With being incredibly timely with getting our photos back to capturing our special day in such a fun way that we can look back on for forever, we could not be more thrilled with our time with Andrew and his photographs!

    Such a Talent!

    Andrew Hayden truly exceeded our expectations in capturing the most special moments of our lives. From our engagement session to our wedding day in 2022, Andrew's talent and professionalism shone through every step of the way.

    During our engagement shoot, he went above and beyond—proactively monitoring the weather, coming prepared with a creative vision, and remaining open to our ideas. In just a short time, he delivered so many stunning photos, including some absolutely adorable shots of our French bulldog that we’ll cherish forever.

    When it came to our wedding day, Andrew’s work was nothing short of incredible. Every time I look back at our photos, I’m reminded of how thoughtfully he captured every meaningful detail and emotion. His guidance in structuring our timeline ensured that we got all the pictures we dreamed of while still having plenty of time to enjoy our day. He struck the perfect balance—easygoing yet assertive—making sure everything ran smoothly and everyone cooperated.

    Andrew wasn’t just our photographer; he felt like part of the celebration, even sharing in the fun during our reception! The turnaround time for our photos was impressively quick, and the sharing process was seamless.

    I cannot recommend Andrew Hayden Photography enough. His artistic eye, friendly demeanor, and absolute professionalism made him an essential part of our wedding experience. We’re so grateful for the memories he captured so beautifully and will treasure them for years to come.

    Andrew Hayden

    Andrew is the BEST! I really can’t say it enough. Not only are his photos amazing, he helped to work on a timeline for the day, and really brought an energy of a friend being with us to celebrate which allowed him to capture the true emotion of the day. I always get comments on my wedding pictures and for great reason, his work really speaks for itself! Couldn’t recommend Andrew Hayden Photography enough - exceptional quality throughout!

    Beyond our expectations

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Andrew, his attention to detail was truly unmatched — he captured every special moment, big and small, with such care and creativity. From the way he framed each shot to his ability to catch the most candid, emotional moments, it was clear he has an incredible eye for storytelling. He made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process, and his professionalism was evident from start to finish. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning, and we will cherish them forever.

    Wedding Photos Worth the Investment

    Andrew and his second photographer Stephan were amazing. I first happened upon Andrew’s work through a friend who used him for their engagement photos, their photos were beautiful so I reached out to her for his contact information and have not once been disappointed in that decision. Andrew made me and my now husband extremely comfortable during our engagement photos. As people who are not entirely sure what to do with our bodies, he made all the photos we took look so natural and perfect. He was warm and friendly from the beginning making us feel comfortable to be ourselves while he was behind the camera. He stayed with us the entire wedding day as well. His second photographer Stephan was also amazing, and my family had a ton of fun joking around with the both of them during the wedding day. Our pictures are exactly what I hoped they’d be, and I love looking through them and get so many compliments on the ones we have hanging in our house. You’ll love working with Andrew!

    Incredible!

    We couldn't be happier with our experience with Andrew as our wedding photographer! From the very start, he made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to enjoy our special day without any stress. The photos he captured are simply stunning—he has an incredible talent for posing us and keeping everything clean and elegant. The emotions from our day shine through beautifully in each shot, all without feeling forced or cheesy. As professionals in the hospitality and wedding industry, my husband and I highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a skilled photographer. We would hire him again in a heartbeat!

    Not your basic wedding photographer!

    Andrew Hayden is such a fantastic photographer! I have some basic knowledge of photography so I knew what I was looking for. Andrew Hayden treats wedding photography like art- as it should be. He pays attention to details when organizing a shot, noticing the small things that can make a photograph awkward or distracting. He is great at making everyone feel comfortable. My husband and I do not enjoy taking photos and with his help we have the most gorgeous photos from our engagement session and our wedding! He will not ask you to take photos that do not "feel" like you or feel uncomfortable. Andrew is a guy you want to spend your wedding day with! He is so calm, cool, and collected. He gets the photos you know you want and need yet respects your time so you can actually enjoy your wedding day! Andrew created a timeline that worked flawlessly on our wedding day. Andrew's photos do not have a generic filter thrown on each one. You can tell he takes the time and pride in editing each photo to make them beautiful. He edited some the day of our wedding and had our sneak peeks within 48 hours of our wedding! Andrew keeps up with the trends with wedding photography yet has a timeless elegance to his photos. Andrew Hayden photography is wonderful. I cannot recommend him enough!
