Andrew Davies Photography is a wedding and commercial photography company based in the north east of the UK and covering the whole of England, Scotland and Wales. They are also available for assignments and events outside the UK on request.
We are professional photographers ie - full time, this is our career and our love and we do not have other jobs which would interfere with the amount of time we can spend on our clients images. We are also fully insured so if something was to go wrong on your big day then there would be no need to worry, an important consideration !
Andrew and his partner Ruth are joint owners of the company and both experienced photographers covering weddings and photographic work nation wide.
With over 5 years experience in Weddings and over 15 years experience of fine art and landscape photography coupled with a skill and passion for digital editing and qualifications in software engineering and computing Andrew brings a wide and varied technical and lifestyle experience mix to the world of photography. He has also worked in commercial photography producing photos and designs for clients such as:
Evening Gazette, PD Ports, OBC Shipping, AV Dawson, Psyche, Prestons of Potto, Institute of Shipbrokers, Middlesbrough Council, Tees Vallery Regeneration, NightOwl, G2 Fireworks... to name but a few of the commercial photography north east projects.
Andrews partner Ruth has been assisting with weddings for over three years and has gained all the qualities and competancies of an excellent photographer and her own unique style and viewpoint which adds to the great mix especially with weddings that they produce.
Working together or seperately with their assistants they can cover up to two weddings in one day and all the post editing and production work is carried out by Andrew to ensure consistency of the final product.
The prinicpals and outlook of Andrew Davies Wedding Photography are to provide a natural, modern and relaxed approach to your wedding day, allowing it to flow as it should and capturing every important moment to be treasured by generations to come.
Andrew and Ruth are full time photographers and their business is their passion, investment in equipment, training and new products puts them at the forefront of the wedding photography field. Their work is home based allowing him to cut out the additional costs and risks associated with studio ownership and pass on these savings to clients , it also allows them to concentrate solely on weddings during the wedding season, with approximately 2-4 weeks of work in processing and editing going into each wedding. See this page for info on what happens during wedding photography editing
Unlike some Andrew does not spend his time chasing round irrelavant photography qualifications which can mostly be gained by sending off a bunch of average shots and some money to a company though there are exceptions such as the MPA who do provide fantastic photographers, nor does he frequent glittering award ceremonies held by companies who sponsor themselves. His work stands on its own and his clients will happily vouch for this. In the time he is not working on clients material andrew is out taking photos , from landscapes to urban decay, seascapes to light painting, the real photographer needs experience and the wider the range the more competent the photographer.
Equipment too is a major consideration and a lot of time and money goes into the purchasing and training in use of new equipment. He and his assistant photographers are equipped with the latest full frame digital slrs, these are a necessity as a Pro wedding photographer as they facilitate usage in low light which is paramount as flash cannot be used in certain wedding situations and other lighting can give a fake look. Some Semi-pro and amateur photographers still use the crop sensor cameras ( or consumer cameras ) which the general public tend to buy too for their hobbies, this is fine, but if youre employing a pro surely you want pro equipment too? Our cameras are 21 million pixel full frame SLRs and our lenses are all from the Canon L Series which are the only lenses that canon pro shooters will use. Our lowest light lens is the Canon 50mm F1.2 which is capable of shooting in the equivalent of a couple of candles in a room without a flash and is the fastest lens of its type currently available. We do also use flash technology during the day to fill in harsh shadows, and bounce flash techniques to minimalise the fake look flash can produce so making the images as natural as possible.
Wedding Photography is not just a business or a job, to be ahead of the game and produce these sort of results takes passion and a love for what you do, this website contains losts of information and images to help you on your journey in choosing your photographer and the facebook page also contains many more excellent photo galleries to inspire you in choices of everything from cars to cakes.
