MountainWed Photography Reviews 

Where do we even begin?! Choosing Andy with MountainWed to capture our wedding was hands down one of the best decisions we made!

When we decided to plan a destination wedding in the North Carolina mountains in just seven weeks, we knew we wanted a photographer who could capture not only the beauty of the scenery but also the adventure, emotion, and authenticity of our day. Andy exceeded every expectation we had!

From the very beginning, Andy was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful. He went above and beyond to help us plan the logistics of getting married in the mountains, creating a timeline that allowed us to enjoy every moment without feeling rushed. His experience and attention to detail made the entire process so much easier.

On our wedding day, Andy fit right in with our family. He was patient, personable, and wonderful with our two-year-old daughter. He captured everything from the intimate moments of getting ready to our ceremony overlooking Linville Gorge and our adventure through the mountains afterward. He made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and nothing ever felt forced or overly posed.

And the PHOTOS?! We are absolutely speechless. The sneak peeks alone have blown us away, along with every single person we’ve shared them with. Andy has an incredible ability to capture not just breathtaking landscapes, but the genuine emotions and little moments that make a wedding day so meaningful. His work is truly art.

We wanted our wedding to be an unforgettable adventure, surrounded by the people we love most, and Andy captured that experience more beautifully than we ever could have imagined. These are memories we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

We cannot recommend him enough and are forever grateful that he was part of our adventure!

First things first, Andy is a phenomenal photographer. We had no prior experience with being photographed or getting engaged, so we really didn’t know what to expect from Andy or from ourselves. Andy worked with us to nail the posed shots while making them look natural, and fluidly captured candids that we didn’t even realize were being taken, and which really show our personalities—that’s a really impressive skill for someone who didn’t know us minutes before. We love the photos so much we are daydreaming
about what else we could do to justify booking Andy for another shoot!

As I put together the surprise proposal, Andy worked with me to choose the location that best fit my desired aesthetic and gave excellent recommendations about what I might want to bring. As the day approached, he shared a video of the hike with a map and pictures to reference key spots, including where to stand so I was lined up with where he planned to be. I had a couple of friends go up ahead of us to assist, and Andy messaged with them as well. Andy’s preparation - both of the plan and of me - made everything super easy and comfortable. He even rented an extra long lens for the shoot, which gave me the ability to change location if people were in our desired spot when we got there.

The pictures we got really showcase Andy’s range of skills, which speaks to why he is the right person to book, regardless of your needs—and especially if conditions are variable. Whether long-range, shallow depth of field close ups, black and white, overcast sky, low light, backlit, sunset, flame lantern, or pitch black with just our headlamps, the pictures turned out incredible! Especially if you’re outdoors, you need a photographer who is comfortable in all conditions. Moreover, Andy was warm, friendly, and excited, which helped put us at ease. We would book Andy again in a heartbeat!

Hiring Andy was one of the best decisions for my wedding. We are beyond grateful for his time, dedication, and crazy talent.

My husband and I dreamed of hiking up a mountain for our wedding but we didn't know where to go. Andy helped us find the perfect location and guided us throughout the whole process. He not only captured the stunning views, but he caught the raw emotion, the excitement, and all the love.

Looking back at our photos, we get to relive every moment. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. If you are considering hiring him, I promise you it will be one of the best decisions you can make for your special day. Thank you, Andy!

Where do I even start?! From the moment we first met Andy we knew he was the perfect person to document one of the most important days of our lives. He was so thoughtful and considerate throughout every step of the process. Very knowledgeable in regard to the Western North Carolina and was able to recommend locations to accommodate all of our needs. The day of our wedding was flawless. We knew based on his portfolio that the photos would turn out well, then they far exceeded our expectations. If you’re searching for a photographer for your special day, look no further. Andy is your guy. Incredibly thankful to have worked with him!!
