Andy is simply the best.
From the first time we spoke to Andy, we immediately felt as if he understood our deal. My husband, Andy, and I all had a mutual reverence for photography -- not only the inherent artistry required in framing a good tableau, but the importance of capturing humanity, in weird and potentially messy moments. Andy does both of these things with grace, ease, and kindness. We brought Andy to New York for engagement photos some six months before our wedding, and the three of us gallivanted around the city taking pictures like we were old, dear friends. Andy has a quality that made us feel at ease -- present and positive, yet unobtrusive. His style is also incredibly unique, and frankly, just pretty epic. On the weekend of our wedding, Andy was available, ready to negotiate inevitable guest drama, and he acted as a grounding force for us amidst the chaos. He took the time to know the major players of the wedding, as well as some of the dynamics at play among them. Everyone caught wind of his infectious good energy, and felt like they could be themselves in front of his camera. And ultimately, he took extraordinary photographs that make us feel like we are right back there. We will revel at them for years to come. The long and the short of it is, Andy's the best. Choosing him as your photographer will be one of the best decisions you make while planning your wedding.From the first time we spoke to Andy, we immediately felt as if he understood our deal.

Let me just say we forgot everything about our wedding, all that remains is Andy!
We met with multiple wedding photographers before choosing Andy. What stood out about him, beyond his raw talent, was that he really connects with the couples he works with. Other photographers were booking several weddings per weekend. Andy doesn't do that, even in the post-Covid wedding frenzy. He only does one wedding per weekend, and that's YOUR wedding. We were planning on having an event the night before, but it got rained out; still, Andy came down early to make himself available. His work is exceptional and speaks for itself, but what you can't appreciate until you work with him is his character, professionalism, and reliability.
His artistic shots, unexpected angles, use of dramatic lighting, and superb editing skills will stun you as you review the photos with friends and family. In reality, you might remember very little from your wedding. All those months of planning go by quickly on the actual day. The photos are what will last. We can't wait to host our next wedding with him. ;)We met with multiple wedding photographers before choosing Andy.

Amazing photographer!
My husband and I got married in September 2020 and while the wedding planning was made more stressful negotiating Covid, Andy was such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. Even before we officially hired him he was thoughtful and answered all questions related to photography and even general wedding planning. Both he and Ryan (his second photographer) were friendly and respectful during our wedding day and navigated the added restrictions from Covid like the pros they are. On top of all this our wedding photos came out amazing and we have gotten non-stop compliments from guests and those who couldn't attend on how stunning they came out. I cannot recommend Andy enough!My husband and I got married in September 2020 and while the wedding planning was made more stressful negotiating Covid, Andy was such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process.

Friendly and Amazing Wedding Photographer!
We got married in October 2018 and had a great experience with Andy (and Ryan). Andy took the time to talk with us before the wedding to get an idea of what we wanted. Him and Ryan were prompt, friendly and professional the entire day. I could tell that the photos were going to turn out great, but I was completely blown away when we received over 500 (!!) gorgeous pictures from our day. It has been extremely hard to choose which ones to print, which in my opinion, is a great problem to have! You can tell that he genuinely loves what he does and we would not hesitate to hire him again in the future.We got married in October 2018 and had a great experience with Andy (and Ryan).

Amazing, Talented and Fun
Choosing Andy as a wedding photographer was easy, my husband had known him most of his life. That said, I knew I would have hired him regardless because I loved his style. Andy was great at asking questions that we hadn't even thought about which showed how experienced he was, that was a huge relief since we didn't know what we were doing for the most part. The day of the wedding he was so on top of things, he worked seamlessly with the venue's coordinator to scout out the best locations on the giant property. He found some fantastic spots that I hadn't even considered, which created some magical shots. Working with Andy and his partner Ryan was awesome, all the guests were commenting on how great they were. We are so grateful to them for making us feel comfortable in front of the camera and capturing all those special moments.Choosing Andy as a wedding photographer was easy, my husband had known him most of his life.

Great Photographer in Stowe, VT area
Andy was a really great and professional photographer. He was prompt on the day of our wedding, and he and his partner, Ryan, were genuinely excited about shooting our day. Despite the crazy weather we experienced on our day, they were able to capture some really captivating pictures of the mountain backdrop, bright greenery, and the unique skyline that was a result of the clearing, inclement weather in Stowe that day. It did take a couple of months to get our photos back, but that seems to be the norm in the industry! We were pleased with Andy's enthusiasm the entire day and night that he and Ryan were on site shooting. They were both very attentive and listened to exactly which shots we wanted to take and when. Overall, an A-Plus experience!

We couldn't have asked for a photographer more suitable for our wedding. Andy had the perfect balance of professionalism and creativity and carried himself in such a positive, easygoing manner. He was very accommodating in planning engagement photos and working around our schedule the day of the wedding. He also gave some great suggestions for where to shoot some first-look and family photos after he made an effort to scope out the grounds in advance of the wedding day. We appreciated his thoughtful approach to his work, and our pictures came out beautiful! Thanks again Andy!We couldn't have asked for a photographer more suitable for our wedding.

Andy was our photographer for a June wedding at the Old Lantern Inn in Vermont. We were from out of town, so weren't able to meet with anyone beforehand. He was so accessible and easy to talk to from day one. We are a very relaxed couple and wanted a photographer who was also relaxed, but reliable and able to give us a little bit of direction. Andy was definitely all of those things. He was very creative in his shots and scoped out our venue and other places in the area in the days prior to see where he could get the best pictures. We ended up taking pictures on an old ferry in Lake Champlain with the Adirondacks in the background. I could not ask for more beautiful photos and a more professional, laid back but organized photographer. Highly recommend!Andy was our photographer for a June wedding at the Old Lantern Inn in Vermont. We were from out of town, so weren't able to meet with anyone beforehand.

Andy was an amazing photographer to work with for our wedding day. He met with us a few weeks prior just to meet us in person and to figure out the style we wanted for our wedding photos. Andy is extremely personable and was able to make the wedding day as stress free and smooth as possible. We were able to get all of our family photos done with minimal wrangling and were able to spend most of the cocktail hour with our guests. The photos turned out even better than we could have expected. We are so happy that we picked Andy Madea Photography for our special day and will look forward to revisiting it through his photographs for years to come.Andy was an amazing photographer to work with for our wedding day.

We chose Andy to photograph our fall wedding in the Mad River Valley this past September. Leading up to the wedding Andy was easy to talk with and responsive, and met with us a few months before the wedding to plan. He was friendly and personable, and shared some great ideas with us. He also was totally on board with our vision for the day, and did a fantastic job capturing the important moments, in addition to catching all sorts of candid and fun shots during our reception. We threw a few surprised at Andy (like hiking down to a river and having him chase us around the reception for fun fast-paced group shots) and he was great and really seemed to be enjoying himself! Andy is a great guy who we would recommend to anyone looking for a photographer!We chose Andy to photograph our fall wedding in the Mad River Valley this past September.

Andy photographed our October 2016 wedding in New Hampshire and we were so glad he did! Andy was available throughout the planning process to answer any questions that we had. We were looking for somewhat of a relaxed experience and he was able to accommodate that for us while still capturing the important moments. The final product helped us to relive the day and will continue to do that for years to come. We have many great candid pictures and Andy was able to suggest some really beautiful posed pictures as well. He is truly artistic. Andy was flexible and accommodating as it rained throughout the day. Our outdoor ceremony quickly changed to an indoor ceremony and he was able to adapt quickly and get some beautiful shots. I received many compliments from guests about his demeanor on the day of and received more as we shared the pictures with our friends and family. We can’t thank Andy enough for all that he did to make our marriage special and something we can continue to celebrate forever.Andy photographed our October 2016 wedding in New Hampshire and we were so glad he did!

Wonderful experience!
Andy is an extremely professional, easy-going photographer who is very quick on his feet. My husband and I got married in August in Vermont on a day filled with all kinds of weather adventures. Our guests were so impressed with his ability to seemingly catch all the big moments without feeling intrusive. He is very creative and offered great suggestions for our couple photos that truly highlighted the beauty of our venue. He is also a really nice guy! We loved our final results and which allowed us to relive our day all over again. We would recommend Andy Madea Photography to anyone!Andy is an extremely professional, easy-going photographer who is very quick on his feet.

Still Waiting for Photos from a Wedding 3 Months Ago
The few photos of the wedding on social media look spectacular! We loved Andy's artistic ability from his website. The day of the wedding, he was incredibly responsive and we are so excited to see the results! Unfortunately, the wedding was August 14th, it's November 6th and we are still waiting to see the photos. We were told 5-6 weeks, and it's now looking like 3 months, at least! I'm sure they will be spectacular...and no bride should have to wait this long for the photos from such a beautiful day. We are incredibly disappointed with the few responses we have received from Andy, and most were initiated by us - just asking to be "patient." We had much higher expectations given the cost and the fact that we were told 5-6 weeks.The few photos of the wedding on social media look spectacular!
