Hi, I'm Andy 👋
Friendly

Fun
Andy, Where do I start… you are a genius! We absolutely love our photos! You managed to capture the spirit of our day completely. It’s exactly how we saw it but better!
I'm a documentary wedding photographer, based in Leeds, and working throughout the UK. I photograph weddings in an unobtrusive, documentary style. That means I don’t dictate your day or, make you pose awkwardly. Instead, I capture you and your guests being yourselves and enjoying yourselves. :)

Andy Withey Photography Full Description
Being a documentary photographer means I photograph weddings in unobtrusive and observational way. I slip into the background and create images of the bride and groom being themselves with all their friends and family. By the end of the day, all the images come together to create a visual story of how the day has unfolded for people to refer back to in years to come. I prefer this style of photography, as I think people's real character and personality come out a lot more than standing in front of a camera and posing. Of course weddings are an ideal time to get pictures with friends and family, so I factor these into most weddings as well. However for most of the day, you probably won't even relise I'm around and you can just get on with enjoying the day!

The pictures he got were absolutely perfect
Andy did our wedding photography in July. We chose Andy as he did a lot more 'snap shot' pictures which is what we wanted to show the true day/night. The pictures he got were absolutely perfect and everything we wanted. He was very discreet taking pictures. All our guests commented on how discreet he was but how he made sure he was always getting pictures of everything happening. Really lovely guy also.

Andy, Where do I start… you are a genius! We absolutely love our photos! You managed to capture the spirit of our day completely. It’s exactly how we saw it but better because you’ve shown us all the amazing bits that we missed too. I want to thank you so much for agreeing to photograph our special day. We are so so happy we chose you. Everyone complimented you on the day and said how amazing you were and this just cements why.

He has a natural talent
We decided on Andy for our wedding photography as we wanted to move away from traditional cheesy 'posed' photos. It was much more important that we had a record of our big day in a fun way with natural shots. Andy achieved this brilliantly. He has a natural talent at capturing all the moments that we missed or couldn't remember! He was a true gent and many of our guests commented on how at ease they felt. We would highly recommend him

We couldn’t be happier with the photos
Andy was our wedding photographer 2 weeks ago and we couldn’t be happier with the photos he took. He really captured the joy and fun that was had on the day with lots of amazing in the moment photos. He’s a really nice guy, very professional and we can’t believe how quickly we’ve got the pictures back. Thank you so much!

Frequently Asked Questions
(7)

What is your most memorable wedding?

Probably Andrea and Neil’s wedding – my first! They had both seen my street photography and approached me about shooting their wedding with the same approach, just capturing the day as it unfolded. It was a fantastic wedding and real honour to be involved.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Observational. Natural. Storytelling. Unobtrusive. Fun.

What about your business are you most proud of?

Definitely the satisfaction people get from the pictures. Photographing weddings is hugely enjoyable and its a real honour to be a part of someone’s big day. Seeing the pleasure that people get from the pictures just adds to that!

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

Relax and enjoy it!

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

I once went to a party and the hired photographer produced little polaroid style prints of the party throughout the event. It was lovely and people really seemed to value it. So, I now produce little credit card prints of the ceremony and early stages of the day, and put them on display for people to look at during the reception.

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

Speeches...and how you and your guests react to them

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Umbrellas. Rain can provide challenges but some of the best wedding pictures I have seen are taken with the couple under an umbrella, with or without wellies on! As a photographer, it’s important to have cameras and lenses that are weather resistant particularly in the UK.
