Andrew Dawson Photography – Capturing Love Since the ’90s

Your wedding day is one of the most special moments of your life, and my goal is to capture it beautifully, just the way you’ll want to remember it. At Andrew Dawson Photography, I’ve been documenting love stories since the ’90s, combining decades of experience with a genuine passion for creating meaningful, heartfelt images and films.

As an award-winning photographer, I know how to capture the big moments—the vows, the first kiss, the first dance—but also the little things: the nervous excitement before walking down the aisle, the quiet smiles you share when no one else is looking. My approach is all about storytelling, and I offer photography, videography, and hybrid packages to make sure every detail of your day is preserved, whether through timeless images, cinematic films, or a blend of both.

But it’s not just about the pictures or videos—it’s about making you feel at ease. I take the time to get to know you as a couple, understanding what makes your relationship unique and what’s most important to you. Many of my couples tell me they loved how relaxed and comfortable they felt during their day, knowing that I was there to capture it all without ever feeling intrusive.

Having worked with couples across the UK and beyond, I bring a wealth of experience to every wedding I photograph. I’ve been fortunate enough to win awards along the way, but what matters most to me is creating memories you’ll treasure forever. Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, I’d be honored to tell your story.

Let’s create something truly unforgettable together—because your love deserves nothing less.

Free Couples’ Photoshoot – No Strings Attached!

I’m excited to offer you a chance to create beautiful memories with a FREE couples’ photoshoot! Whether you’re engaged, celebrating your relationship, or just want some stunning photos together, this session is my way of sharing what I do best.

  • Bring your pets or children along for some extra special moments—everyone’s welcome! 🐾👶
  • A selection of professionally edited images to treasure forever.

There’s absolutely no obligation, but if you love your photos and feel a connection with my style, I’d be honored if you’d consider booking me as your wedding photographer.

📆 Spaces are limited, so don’t wait! Let’s create something amazing together.

Hire this photographer- you will not be disappointed

I chose Andy after seeing his beautiful work online, and I could not be happier with my decision to have him capture our special day.
From our first meeting he was so involved, he met with me in person and we chatted about my wants for the day and he showed me his previous work. Communication was excellent.
On the day Andy arrived early, he ensured all photos I’d asked for were executed and his warm and friendly demeanour was appreciated by all of my guests.
Then- the best part- on the day when he was due to leave, he suggested an idea of champagne spraying and this is one of my favourite photos of the lot.
His turnover time is faster than any wedding photographer I have heard of, less than a week for 490 images.
I cannot recommend Andy highly enough! Thank you so much for capturing memory’s we will cherish forever.

Excellent Photographer

What drew my partner and I to Andy's portfolio initially was his style of photography and his ability to tell a coherent story through photography. After deciding to have him as our wedding photographer, at no point did we regret this decision. He kept the both of us calm, comfortable and reassured that we were in safe hands.
Our engagement shoot was creative and simple; not too many thrills which is what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, he kept the whole situation cheerful without getting in the way of anyone (myself and my bridesmaids) getting ready or having a good time. He was able to capture fantastic images of everyone which he was able to show before the first dance on a screen which he provided. A fantastic talking point and a pleasant surprise for all. At no point did we feel stressed or that we were pushed for anything we did not want to do. We just got to enjoy our day while Andy and colleague did their thing.

Well organized and reliable photographer

Excellent throughout the whole day. Understands exactly what you're after and has great ideas. Provides a great 'live slideshow' service during the evening with photos from the ceremony. Andy even visited our venue weeks before to look for the best photo spots. Couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Would 100% recommend.

Andrew is Amazing!

We hired Andrew to photograph our wedding in September at Stanlake Park after using him for our Engagement shoot.
From initial meetings to the actual day, Andrew was just so organised accommodating and knowledgeable.
He gave us so much advice and reassurance that our day would be perfect, and it really was!

It rained on our wedding day, and organising our families for photos was a bit hectic but Andrew took all the stress away and handled it like a absolute pro.

We are absolutely besotted with our wedding photos, and all our guests have said what an amazing and talented photographer he is. We've given his website details to quite a few of our friends who ahave weddings next year.

If you're looking to hire a photographer, Andrew is 100% your person!

Thank you Andrew for capturing such a magical day with such stunning photographs.

Priceless..

Andy is an excellent photographer, he listened to everything we requested in regards to our wedding photos. He all had lots of suggestions to enhance our vision. We felt totally comfortable and very secure, when Andy was dealing with our requests. His amazing attention to detail meant that we were ecstatic with the photography album choices that Andy presented us with, post wedding. I would recommend Andy to everyone who is getting in the World, if I could. Thanks Andy..

Rivervale Barn Wedding

Hi Andy,
Our sincere thanks for these beautiful photos, that absolutely captured the most heartfelt and happy day. We have no idea how we will pick our favourites for an album, though we definitely have one or two that we cannot wait to have framed and in our home.
There is so much of the day that is a blur and it is lovely to relive the day through these images. You managed to get fantastic shots from everywhere and were so discreet – your attention to detail is outstanding (I love you got the Just Married flags in the sunlight!).
All the best to you and your family Ben, have a wonderful weekend.

Our New Forest Wedding

I would highly recommend using Andy for any and every occasion you wish to have photographed. He photographed our wedding and the photographs he provided were simply stunning and exactly what we wanted.
Andy has such a relaxing and friendly presence he made us both feel so at ease when we were getting our photographs taken.
We had him the whole day and he arrived promptly in the morning to capture both of us getting ready and my arrival at the church.
Apart from our group photos he was the invisible man but managed to captured every moment of our wedding in such a natural way, nothing looked staged and nothing was missed.
He has such a great eye for photography he captured some lovely quirky photos which we always have now to remember and cherish from our wedding. I will definitely be calling on Andy again in the future for family photographs.

Amazing Wedding Photography!!!!

Andy and his son were awesome!!! They literally put everything they had into making sure we had all the photographs we could have hoped for from our special day. From dawn until the end of the night, they were up running around getting photos from all angles. We had such a fun time whenever we met Andy including our first meeting, our pre-wedding shoot and most importantly on the wedding day.

Andy is such a lovely chap and really made our day special and has given us photos that will live with us forever. You will not be disappointed if you choose him for your wedding and he was a pleasure to work with throughout and very reliable.

We can’t thank you guys (Andy and son) enough and hope to see you soon.

Fantastic Photographer

When we asked Andy to be our photographer for our wedding, he was superb in regards to the months of organising and understanding what we were after, leading upto the big day.
He took time to visit us, get to know us and we felt confident in what he does.
On the day, he was extremely organised and especially accomodating in what we were after, there wasn't anything he wouldn't do to help us make our day so special. The extra time that he offered towards the end of the night, was extremely generous and very kind, it topped off an amazing day.
When we received the edited pictures, we were so pleased with the quality and standard that was produced.
Would highly recommend Andy, he was truly amazing!

Andy went above and beyond and captured stunning images that we will forever treasure!

Andy was recommended to us by a friend and did not disappoint. We knew as soon as we met him that he would be professional, as he was asking us for details we hadn’t even thought of. Andy arrived early in the day to ensure he had time to capture everything and discuss and tend to our last minute requests. He was also so accommodating, going along with all of our personal and logistical requests, which included a boat trip from the service to the reception. Andy even supplied an additional photographer to ensure all of the images we requested were captured. He left no stone unturned and we couldn’t have asked for more. The images he captured and edited were stunning and we can’t thank him enough. Book with confidence, you won’t be disappointed.
