Information For SaywellHQ Wedding Photographer
As a Documentary Wedding Photographer, my work leads to a collection of
photographs that really capture the feeling and emotions of your wedding
day.
I'm Andy, a Nottingham wedding photographer who specialises in candid, natural, relaxed and unposed documentary wedding photography, believing in an un-invasive subtle approach to photography to capture the natural beauty of your day.
Weddings are not only an important day in a couple’s lives, but a beautiful prologue to their stories. It marks both the beginning and end of a phase of their lives, as they leave their separate lives behind and begin a new life together
Second to a photographer, I am a storyteller, and extremely passionate about photography, and believe the mark of this new chapter needs to be told in the best possible way. My goal is to capture natural, beautiful, fun and unposed wedding photos, giving you a comprehensive story of your wedding in whatever format it takes!
I believe a wedding should flow. It is a day to be enjoyed by everyone, meaning a lot to not only the bride and groom but all their loved ones too. It’s this that carries my passion for wedding photography; I follow the day as it happens, capturing all those special moments of not just the bride and groom, but friends reuniting, surprise family guests, and every joyous hug and tear shed.
It’s these moments that build your wedding day to leave you with special memories you will cherish.
Acting discreetly, I capture the preparations as the bride and bridesmaids prepare for their special day; the tears as your dress goes on, the laugher as you squeeze into the car, to arriving at the altar as the groom’s head turns and sees his bride for the first time.
I believe that these are the priceless moments of a wedding that should be captured and treasured forever; a father walking his daughter down the aisle, the moment you say ‘I do’, and the joyous celebration as you walk back down the alter hand in hand.

If you are looking to get married in a Church, always check with the Vicar or Priest about their restrictions on photography. Some allow full access others do not allow photos at all!
Surround yourself on your wedding day with suppliers and people you feel comfortable with, for example, a photographer might be with you 12 hours.. you need to have a good feeling about them.
Make sure you fully understand what you are paying for - don't get stung by people charging you extra for things that should be included! It's like buying a car and being charged extra for the windows

SaywellHQ Wedding Photographer Reviews
Andy, well.. what an absolute fantastic man.
We’ve been on journey from booking our original date, postponing through lockdown, constantly keeping in touch and checking in one another & then to the actual day!
Andy is more like our friend than our photographer, we’ve had some giggles and the odd swear word between ourselves.
He’s down to earth, friendly, just a normal, down to earth, friendly human being, who you can have normal chats with.
When I first met Andy I said I don’t want to be standing around posing for photos all day & straight away we was on the same vibe.
Nothing is too much trouble, and how he works? Christ all mighty in 30+ degree heat this man works his socks off.
What is even nicer and a testament to Andy is how many family & friends from our Wedding said Andy was amazing, he works so hard, that man didn’t stop, how brilliant is Andy. Honestly the list is endless of compliments for this guy.
We’ve even had people ask us to pass on his details just from our wedding.
I wish I could put into words how thankful we are Andy came into our life & especially for our biggest day.
By the end off it Andy was one of our family (poor bloke)
Thank you Andy for looking after us so well.
All I can say is your photographers are the biggest part of your day, pick wisely and tbh pick Andy.
Andy you will forever have a place in my f&@*king heart.

Our wedding was in the evening and he caught the atmosphere and light with incredible results.
We have had so many compliments on our photos, they are countless. What a memory of our day and delivered with speed, professionalism, and above all, we hardly knew Andy was there on the day.
He had clever lighting and was mobile constantly taking every opportunity.
His reportage claim could not be more true. If you want to have a lifetime of fabulous memories documented by the minute, then book Andy because he truly delivers.
Just WOW WOW WOW, and thank you.
To think we would not have this record would be a travesty, you simply cannot take it in on the day and remember all the moments that involve you, never mind the ones that don't!!!
We couldn’t have asked for a more professional and thoughtful experience.
With the pandemic is wasn’t the easiest of experiences however Andy made the day so calming and the photography ran so smoothly.
The photos are exactly what we wanted, mainly documentary style. Often photographers can charge a lot of money for their services and I feel we got an even better service for a fraction of the price.
The pictures are beautiful and we can’t thank you enough.
He was able to capture our wedding in the most natural way with photographs that truly tell the story.
On top of this he contributed significantly to the smooth running of the day. Others have mentioned his professionalism and this is very true, all logistics and details were discussed in depth.
Moreover, Andy helped us feel relaxed and that enabled us to be all the more present for our wedding day - safe in the knowledge that Andy was capturing it for us to relive at a later date.
Thank you so much Andy.
As a couple, we’re not particularly fond of being photographed.
However, Andy’s relaxed, documentary approach put us both completely at ease! In the end, he really managed to capture us as we are when nobody else is watching – laughing, being silly with our friends and family.
Moreover, Andy’s attention to detail is second to none. In our gallery, he recorded every perceivable aspect of the day – from the calamitous vegetarian entrée to the groom’s bejewelled sneakers – for us to relive, year after year.
If you’re looking for a photographer to capture your wedding day as it truly is, from start to finish, then we simply cannot recommend Andy highly enough.
There are no attempts to sell you what you don’t want, and he is clear about his vision and the documentary-style photographs of the day you will receive. He captured our wedding day perfectly, expertly piecing together all parts of the day and all of the emotions that came with it - the quality of the photos really do speak for themselves.
Andy works with the utmost professionalism: his communication was excellent from start to finish and his relaxed approach and fun personality really suited us and allowed us to enjoy our day safe in the knowledge that he was on the ball.
In fact, he was one of the few people we knew we could really depend on, and we knew this within about 10 seconds of meeting him.
If you are after formal photos involving lots of posing then Andy is not for you, and he will tell you this, but if you want a selection of beautiful natural photographs that document the day then look no further.
We would recommend him in the strongest possible terms to anyone.
He took time to find out what we wanted from the day.
He helped out with a kitchen incident during bridal prep & was like a ninja on the day.
We hardly saw him at all during the day, but the pictures he took were amazing!
He was so unobtrusive, but really captured the feel of the day!
Would highly recommend!
Fortunately for us, Andy happened to have a cancellation on the day of our wedding. It was fate!
From start to finish the communication was great. We knew what to expect every step of the way and whenever we had any questions or requests, the response from Andy was prompt.
Andy's photography style meant that we could just get on with the day, without having to keep stopping to pose for photos.
Andy's presence was known, however due to his amazing, friendly, calm and pleasant nature, he did not make anyone feel uncomfortable. Infact, nearly all of our wedding guests mentioned how lovely and funny Andy was.
We received our wedding photos 2 weeks ago now and they are truly amazing. Every tiny detail (even things you wouldn't even think about ) were captured in the photographs.
When looking through them, we have really been able to relive our wedding day and all the emotions and feelings we felt on the day.
Andy went above and beyond to accommodate us and to make sure we were happy.
I would highly recommend SaywellHQ.
You will not be disappointed.
Thank you so much Andy.

Andy, you were amazing from start to finish!
We honestly can’t thank you enough for everything you did, it was such a fantastic day and you made it feel so relaxed, you were there taking photos but you were never in our faces.
Our photos are absolutely amazing!!
You have literally captured everything and even the atmosphere! They are incredible!!!
The photo film is just perfect too! We had so many laughs watching it... and we’ve watched it so many times already!
The way you shoot, I must say, is so different to other photographers. Some are so set in their ways of traditional formal photos but it was noted by many guests how much running around you did to make sure you got the shot and it has honestly shown in the photos too!
It’s a lot for one person to capture but you so did it!!!
A huge thank you to you again! From Alex and Paul 6.08.21
He provided loads of great photos and really helped to add to the day as a whole.
He is very good at making all the guests feel comfortable which results in some great action shots along with the posed formals.
I would recommend Andy for any of my friends weddings and we both feel like we made the best choice for a wedding photographer for our special day.
The full package is excellent from a very accessible online library where we can download any photos we like along with the added extra of the audio files really help us capture our day once it was all over.

Meet the Key Person
Hello! I’m Andy, a wedding photographer based in a little village called Newton in Nottingham. I pride myself on not being a ‘traditional wedding photographer’, you won’t catch me climbing up a ladder bossing your guests around, I won’t make everybody stand in a ‘love heart’ shape group photo, I won’t make you do a piggyback. I work in such an unobtrusive way that you’ll hardly know that I’m there. I’m not a fan of traditional, awkward or stiffly-posed wedding photography if that’s your bag – that’s cool, but I’m not the photographer for you. But, if you want a set of images from your wedding day which captures the emotion, the feelings and the true story of your wedding day – I’m the guy for you! I’m not one for writing about my personal life I think my Instagram page can give you a great insight about me as a person and what I’m up to – mainly telling the cats to get off the sofa or me running through the countryside. If you have liked what you have seen on my website, and after having looked at my Instagram page you think ‘he’s ok, doesn’t seem a dick’ then please get in touch to arrange a chat about your wedding plans and how I might fit for you as a wedding photographer. Hopefully, I get to speak to you soon, but if not, I wish you all the best for your wedding! -Andy-
