SaywellHQ Full Description
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! With my style and my experience, I will bring these special memories to life for years to come, in a creative, honest, and beautiful way. 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. I like to be honest and clear with my prices and whats covered, no confusing pricing structures or bespoke packages here, just one price. >>Coverage from £600.00< My commitment and promises to you No fake smiles. No interfering with your day. An Individual approach to each wedding. My absolute best efforts, skills and dedication, before, during and after your wedding. Honest and true images of your day. 100% guaranteed to be free from cliché!!! Please take a look around a few of my most recent weddings, have a read of my blog and check out my Instgram, Facebook or Twitter feed to see what I'm like! One last thing - I PROMISE I WON'T MAKE YOU SAY "CHEESE"!

Fantastic photography

Andy was simply fantastic. Neither my partner nor I are very good with photos, but Andy was great at going through all aspects of the day and listening to what we wanted. He kept things ready relaxed and all our friends commmented on how great he was, and the photos were great. No long line ups with everyone posed, but great candid shots, with real smiles. Can’t recommend him enough.

A joy to work with. We worked together on a wedding last year and he captured the day perfectly.

SaywellHQ the perfect choice for a relaxed wedding

SaywellHQ is the perfect choice for a relaxed wedding. We’d like to thank Andy for taking such fantastic photographs – they captured the day perfectly. From the very start where the guests were arriving, all the way through to the evening 80s band, the action shots really showed how much everyone enjoyed the moment. We love the way they tell the story of the wedding and how natural they all are .. I even have my eyes open on all the pictures, which is a first. No photographer has ever managed that! Being the Bride and Groom, we spent most of the day chatting and laughing with friends and family, so missed a lot of the action which Andy took – he saw all that we missed and a lot more. Friends and family we've shown the photos to are really impressed and comment on how natural everyone looks. Thanks for putting everyone at ease. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Andy, he captured our day beautifully. We definitely recommend SaywellHQ. Thanks

I can not recommend him enough! Thank you Andy x

Andy was a natural photographer we came across after searching on google. We loved how his images told the story of the day and knew instantly that’s what we were after. From start to finish he’s been great and we are delighted with our images from our December wedding. He really managed to capture the day without being in peoples faces and I can not recommend him enough! Thank you Andy x

Thank you for capturing our special day!

Andy was great, from the first meeting to confirming details for the big day, his experience was obvious. He knew how things run and which questions to ask us! On the day he was always there to help out. But also melted into the background and we've had so many compliments on the photos. I would definitely recommend Andy to anyone looking for an innovative documentary-style wedding photographer. Thank you for capturing our special day with a smooth finesse!

It was so nice seeing a lot of the bits we missed

They look amazing, thank you for a great Job and helping make our day enjoyable. We loved what you’ve done, it was so nice seeing a lot of the bits we had both missed, one of the best ones I think is Claire’s dad with his tongue sticking out coming through the door, brilliant shot. We really can’t recommend you highly enough for how you’ve captured our day

Andy really was amazing at capturing moments

I’ve had a genuine phobia of photos ever since I was a small child, so the thought of having someone taking photos all day for my wedding filled me with terrible anxiety. Thank god we found Andy. He listened to my worries and ask questions to really understand what we wanted and how to make me feel more comfortable. He explained the best way to organise things and was really flexible throughout the day. The guests thought he was great, and commented on how friendly he was and how relaxed they felt. We didn’t want lots of staged photos but there was no fear of missing people out, as we discovered. Andy had taken loads of candid shots, all of our friends and family were there, not posing or standing awkwardly, but laughing, talking and being themselves. Andy really was amazing at capturing moments we might have missed, in fact, there is one photo of my parents that I will treasure forever. I may not have been the easiest bride for Andy, but I may just be the most impressed. If you are reading this review and wondering wether to book him, then do it...you won’t regret it!

Professional yet relaxed enough to put as at ease

On the wedding day itself we couldn't have asked for more. Andy arrived and immediately set to work capturing the morning with my wife and bridesmaids getting ready. The shots were well composed and conveyed the story of the morning. For the ceremony itself Andy put us at ease before the formal proceedings and also took candid pictures throughout. He knew instinctively who the important people in the party were and managed to get all of them into the album. At the reception Andy really came into his own. The essence of the day was that it should be relaxed and informal with a good party at the end. Again, the candid shots were the best, and when we reviewed the photos we were very happy with the quality and the feeling that we were back there again. Towards the end of the reception Andy arranged to print off a few small keepsake photos which we weren't expecting and was a nice touch. After the day Andy put all the pictures on his website but still the good service didn't stop! He went round to my Father in Laws house to drop off a framed print and also came round to deliver our own DVD which came in a lovely presentation box. We can't recommend Andy highly enough, he was professional yet relaxed enough to put as at ease, always there yet never imposing and provided great service from start to finish. If you are looking for a photographer stop your search now and get in contact with him, you won't regret it!

He captured so many special moments

Andy is without a doubt an incredibly kind, thoughtful, detailed, intuitive, methodical, knowledgeable and excellent photographer. We found Andy through his website and from the moment we contacted him, Andy was helpful and honest. He captured so many special moments throughout our wedding day - moments we didn't even realise we were in, until we saw the photos. Andy is very light-footed (you really won't know he's there!) and true to his candid, documentary style, he really followed our entire wedding journey. Andy spent a fair amount of time speaking with us before the wedding and the photos show that he got to know us and what mattered to us. We are so grateful for our wedding photos and we are very thankful we chose to work with Andy. He even makes a good cup of tea! So many of our wedding guests have commented on Andy's professionalism and talent. Thank you Andy, we are very happy you were part of our day and that we chose you to tell our story.

He went above and beyond

Had a great feeling about Andy from the start! He was easy going and relaxed and understood perfectly what we wanted. He went above and beyond by visiting the venue first and getting a feel for it. On the day he really fitted in beautifully - he could have been one of the guests! He captured the vibe and the atmosphere perfectly - what stands out from his photos is how happy everyone was. Over the moon with the end pictures! Thank you.

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Wow - that's a tough question! Every wedding is different - people, venue, weather - all can be good or bad! My first wedding will always be special as it totally made my head spin.. I've been fortunate to photograph many different types of weddings from Asian, outdoor forest weddings, big church weddings, small village hall weddings and even a wedding on a bus... I can honestly say that I have yet to shoot a wedding day I didn't enjoy - each one is unique.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Honest, True, Candid, Fun, Cliche Free!

What about your business are you most proud of?

The kind words received from my happy couples, genuinely takes my breath away when people take the time to leave reviews, send thank you cards and recommend me to their family and friends.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Make sure you fully understand what you are paying for - don't get stung by people charging you extra for things that would normally be included! It's like buying a car and being charged extra for the windows! I do not limit the number of photos I supply from your day!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

A flash mob of guests singing the couples favourite song - they had no idea!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

The first step - we always have a chin wag on the phone so we can get a vibe for each other and make sure that my style works for you. I'm always totally honest; and if my style doesn't fit with what you are after I will always let you know and give you some advice on other options. If after the phone call you wanted to book me to cover your special day; I will send you a booking form, then complete a wedding contract and after a £200 deposit is paid - you are all booked up. Around 6 weeks before the wedding we meet up (typically at the venue) and discuss the final details, timings etc.. Around a week or at the latest two weeks after your wedding I will upload your photos to your secure online gallery - from here you can download, print or share.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Being a documentary photographer, I don't work to a shot list - but I have photos in my mind that I always look to capture.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Nothing! Rain is just a bit of water - get a brolly and have some fun!

Describe how you got into photography.

I got into photography when my wife got a DSLR for her make-up blog and I was forever using her Canon 600d; so I was told to buy my own...
