Amazing photos to treasure forever. We wanted a simple informal day to celebrate our wedding and asked for photographs to reflect that. Andrew delivered that perfectly, he was extremely professional while making sure he captured all the important moments and even managed to get our 3 year old to work it for the camera! Thank you for giving us exactly what we asked for. We couldn't be more pleased or recommend Andrew enough.

100% professional and reliable. He made it easy to be photographed which we hate. It is very rare for me to like any photo of us but we absolutely love every single one he took. He made us feel so relaxed and not posed at all throughout the whole time and he was fantastic with our young puppy. I recommend him to everyone we know.

Our photos are all amazing, Andrew was friendly, helpful and has a tool for everything, this was invaluable. He took a mixture of possed and natural pictures. Chatting to guests took time to get the pictures we wanted. Thank you.

We are so lucky to have met Andrew Davies and have our small wedding and reception captured by him this summer in Great Ayton. Andrew has supported us throughout our special day by suggesting best locations, best timing and capturing just the right moments. He is truly talented and delivered beautiful pictures. We have also ordered some albums from him for us and family and I know I will cherish them for ever. I would happily recommend Andrew Davies Photography to anyone who would like to capture their special occasion. Many thanks, Renata and Tom

Not sure how to put into words how amazing Andrew is, from the very first email to the wedding itself. He was the most helpful photographer from showing my brother how to tie his tie to being the calm in the mad rush around, helping out where possible without being asked, kept everybody calm and cool with his little hand held fan which was a god send! To capturing the most amazing photos! I would definitely recommend Andrew to anybody and everybody you are one in a million, it honestly felt like we had a family friend rather than a photographer with us I can not thank you enough for it. Simply amazing

Andrew Davies Photography recently did our covid secure wedding, and despite the limitations of masks and guests, there was no question that the end results were outstanding. The photos look stunning, some very clever and creative ones, the use of snow as confetti turned out incredible and is probably one of my favourites. Throughout the day he was courteous and professional. Would highly recommend and re-book in a heart beat. Can't thank him enough.

Andrew and David recently photographed myself and my husbands wedding at Matfen Hall. We booked him after attending a friends wedding which he photographed knowing first hand just how fantastic and capable they both were. The photographs produced were absolutely perfect. We were made to feel at ease and very comfortable on the day. They managed to capture everything and more. The quality and attention to detail is second to none. Choosing a favourite is easier said than done as there was so much choice. Andrew was always very prompt in responding to emails and very professional. It's obvious they take pride in what they do. I would highly recommend.

Andrew photographed our wedding in August 2019. Our whole experience with him was effortless. We outlined exactly what we wanted on the day which was an easy, simple process. We wanted a relaxed day with some formal shots. Andrew and his colleague were friendly, subtle and very professional. We barely noticed them throughout the day and the photographs we received were natural and beautiful capturing our wedding perfectly.

Our friends and family were also very impressed with them. We are thrilled with the edited photographs and now have the hard task of choosing ones to display! Thank you Andrew for capturing our day so beautifully! We cannot recommend you enough!

Both Andrew and his colleague David attended our wedding as our photographers and i am over the moon with the outcome. Both guys were very friendly and put you at ease on the big day. you didn't even know they were there. they were very respectful not to get in guests ways. we asked for our photos to be very natural and candid and the results were fantastic. From start to finish Andrew's customer service has been second to none, he responds to emails very quickly and helps in any way possible. we recently received our wedding album back and the quality is outstanding. the way Andrew has designed our album and the lay out is everything we asked for and more.

Myself and my partner spent weeks looking for a photographer who was fairly priced and took fantastic photos, then we came across Andy. When we met Andy before the wedding we were assured that our big day would be captured perfectly. On the day he made everyone feel comfortable. He managed to get fantastic shots without being pushy at all. He even helped me to suprise my husband and offer advice on the day. Lastly we were both very happy and surprised at how many photos we got and all edited! Overall perfect photography package in terms of both quality and value for money.

The reviews and experience is what led us to book Andrew as our Wedding photographer. On the day Andrew was professional, kept us calm, blended in with our guests and got some amazing shots of everything we asked for. The edited photos are stunning, Andrew captures the day so perfectly, whilst we have staged shots theres also natural shots which we love. It was only when we received our photos that we realised how much detail Andrew captures in his photos, from the venue, us and our guests right down to the smallest detail in the decorations.We are so thrilled with our photos and looking forward to sharing them with family and friends.

We chose Andrew to be our photographer for our wedding in July of last year and it was the best decision we could have made! He was absolutely amazing! From meeting Andrew on day 1, he was so professional and genuinely interested in what sort of people we were and what would make our wedding special for us. He made sure he included every single detail in our special day and nothing was too much trouble.

Every photo he took, showed the thought he had put into it before taking the shot and for us that felt really personal and genuine. On our wedding day, Andrew had an assistant with him (David) who was also amazing and a true gentleman. We can't thank you both enough!If you are looking for a photographer to capture every aspect of your special day then we would strongly recommend Andrew and David! Two massive thumbs up from us! Fabulous photographers!

Andrew and David were an excellent team to have on our wedding day - both professional as well as being very friendly and fun on the day, they clearly enjoy what they do. They were very discreet that often we were unaware of their presence. We were unable to meet Andrew in person prior to the wedding, however it was very easy to organise the day with him through email and over the phone. We asked for just a few specific family shots and let them take the lead during the rest of the day - and they came up with some great ideas, capturing the whole day with our guests very well.

The result has been a mix of lovely natural shots of everything that happened during the day, and some shots of us around the venue - really capturing the day beautifully. We love the photos - thank you! Highly recommended.

We've struggled for some time to find the correct image as the hero picture of our corporate branding. But Andrew's photography was everything we were hoping to find and more. He was swift to respond to a very urgent inquiry that made a seemingly impossible project possible. We couldn't be happier with the quality and professionalism, and would highly recommend anyone to be in touch with Andrew if they're after stunning visuals.

In addition to expertise in photography, some of the most important requirements a bride and groom need in a wedding photographer is trust, reliability, experience and comfort in front of the camera. From beginning to end we had all of this with Andrew. Before our wedding day, we met with Andrew a few times to discuss the wedding packages, expectations and requests. On each of the occasions Andrew was professional, understanding and had experience, options and a response to any questions we had.

We met at the venue to discuss ideas and he again provided us with details of possibilities. On the day of the wedding, he was not only prompt with timekeeping but also very comfortable with the guests. Andrew captured the day from start to finish, many of the photographs were taken as portrait and formal, and many others of moments that could not be captured by us due to everything going on. Our families and guests are impressed with the end product almost as much as us. We have so many great memories captured thanks to Andrew, it is difficult to find a favourite. Highly recommended, very competitive and a really nice chap.

We have used Andrew Davies Photography (Middlesbrough) for our wedding and also for private tuition as budding amateur photographers ourselves.
Andrew provides an excellent service and his work is of an extremely high quality, his friendly informal approach puts you at ease as he goes about his work.

They done a FANTASTIC job every guest commented how proffesional they were and they also let the guest get photos too and didnt rush them. They j...ust became part of our day. When we got to view our photos we fell in love with every one and i still watch the dvd of the photos everyday. We have finally decided on the photos for our album which was the hardest part as i struggled to get it down from 135 photos, just looking forward to seeing what our album is going to be like but i know that it will be perfect.

One of the guests from my wedding booked Andrew to do their wedding which was at the weekend and i could tell they will have fab photos too. Would recommend Andrew and Ruth to anyone who wants a photographer.
