What people say about me

andrew stears

‘Getting married was by far the best day of our lives, the lead up to the wedding day was a challenging and stressful one, especially deciding who to go with as a photographer. We both knew that these photos would be our picture memories for the rest of our lives, finding Andrew was an absolute blessing. Not only did we find such a professional young man who would help us with what we needed, we also found a friend in this man. His photographs are of an outstanding quality. He is extremely professional in the way he moves around during the wedding, half the time I wasn’t even aware beautiful pictures were being taken. He exceeded our expectations and had ideas that we didn’t know we needed. His creativity is so exquisite and his personality is vibrant. I can honestly say going with Andrew was one of our best wedding decisions, we cannot wait to have another excuse to need Andrew as our photographer again. Thank you, Andrew’

‘From the moment we met Andrew we were confident in his photography skills and his professionalism.
We met up at a local cafe and he showed us some beautiful examples of his previous work on his laptop. He then went on to explain the process that would happen before the wedding and on the day itself, and he was very knowledgeable and reassuring. We discussed with Andrew what shots would be important for us to get – in our case we wanted a photo of all of the wedding ceremony guests lined up along a grand staircase in the venue. On the big day Andrew certainly delivered! The first thing I saw as my wedding car approached the venue was Andrew with his camera darting about, getting shots from all angles! During the ceremony and reception afterwards he got involved and got some really spectacular photos, and also some subtle ones of the guests enjoying the day. Everything was carefully thought out and delivered. Shortly after the wedding day we heard from Andrew that he had finished going through our photos and we arranged to meet up again. My husband and I were delighted to see our special day all over again, captured in beautiful detail. We couldn’t recommend Andrew more, as from start to finish he was absolutely brilliant! He was always easy to contact with any questions, friendly and is obviously very talented at what he does.’

“Andrew is fantastic.
He was extremely straightforward to work with, happily chatting on the phone and via WhatsApp prior to our wedding day.
On the day itself we hardly knew he was there – and the results speak for themselves. He was so efficient for our family photos, without making us feel rushed, and he spent the rest of the day taking wonderful candid shots of our guests.
We are thrilled with the results and I couldn’t recommend Andrew highly enough.”

What a pleasure it has been to work with Andrew! He was engaging and professional from start to finish and did an amazing job of capturing the essence and people at our birthday function. I highly recommend Andrew for any photography work – 5-Stars!

“I asked Andrew to do the photography for my new website and whilst I gave him a brief he took the challenge on and went way over and above any expectations I had. He made the day fun and generated so many brilliant photographs that captured me, my personality and what I do. The way he created a relaxed environment for me and my clients to be themselves in was wonderful, allowing the shots to be natural and authentic. Andrew is a magician at what he does and no matter your event or requirement he really is the the best person for the job. And more than that he is a great human being. Thanks Andrew”

“Andrew was absolutely incredible! From the initial conversations to helping run things around on our wedding day you could not fault him. His photography is stunning and I have had so many photos printed out of his including making them all into a photo book. Amazing, friendly, kind and funny – you just feel so comfortable around him and the shots all turned out beautifully. For any photography needs I will be using Andrew in the future. Thank you again for making our day so so special and capturing all the lovely moments. You were super orgainsed and I didn’t feel like I had to worry that moments wouldn’t be captured. Thank you so much again Andrew!! You are our photographer for life and I have already passed your details on to friends and family”

‘Organising a wedding can certainly be stressful and time consuming, so finding professionals that make everything run smoothly and effortlessly is priceless! Andrew was great from the get go. He was easy to contact, made us feel in safe hands, accommodated some of our slightly more awkward shots and was a delight to have with us during our big day! Everything ran so smoothly and I didn’t realise 90% of the pictures were even being taken. Andrew managed to capture everything perfectly for us and we are beyond chuffed with the final photographs. Friends and family have not stopped commenting on how wonderful they all are. Andrew is very talented and has a great eye for capturing all those special moments. We’re so glad we had the pleasure of having Andrew as our wedding photographer and we will be highly recommending his services to everyone who asks in future!’

From the very beginning Andrew was such a pleasure to have photograph our day. He was friendly, down to earth and a true professional, we hardly noticed he was with us on the morning of the wedding. We wanted candid photos that weren’t too staged, Andrew was great at taking pictures just at the right moment. He was always on hand to help with everything, even driving one of my bridesmaids to the venue when the car didn’t show up! On the day your brain is over all the place, talking to everyone and time runs away with you, Andrew was great at organising timings and positioning everybody to get the best photographs without rushing us.
I am so pleased with the photographs and thankful of how many little details Andrew photographed throughout the day.
If you are looking for a photographer that works with you every step of the way, who produces great pictures and is a laugh, definitely book Andrew! You won’t be disappointed!

Thank you!!
