wedding photography process
and experience
AN HEIRLOOM IN
the MAKING
Your images aren’t just photographs — they’re a legacy. Like this moment of laughter and embrace, they tell the story of your love with honesty and grace. Each frame is more than a record; it is a piece of art created to honor the beginning of your forever.
From quiet exchanges to grand celebrations, I capture the beauty of the in-between — the way your dress falls, the warmth in your eyes, the tenderness of a touch. These fleeting moments, though small in the rush of the day, become priceless when preserved with care and artistry.
As time moves on, your photographs will become more than memories. They will be the stories your children and grandchildren hold onto, the images that remind you not just of how your wedding looked, but how it felt. This is why I approach every wedding with intention — to create heirlooms that last long beyond a single day.
AN INVESTMENT IN
YOUR MEMORIES
Balancing refined elegance with the soulful beauty of real moments.
For me, there’s never a formula or a script. Every love story unfolds in its own way, and my role is to honor that truth — capturing the authentic connection between you while preserving the fleeting, soulful moments that become your legacy.
A Soulful Approach with an Heirloom Finish
My approach to wedding photography is rooted in presence and connection — it’s about you, your relationships, and the emotions that give your day its true meaning. I don’t impose formulas or chase fleeting styles; instead, I allow your celebration to unfold naturally, stepping in with gentle guidance only when it enhances the moment. What emerges is imagery that feels genuine and alive, a reflection of not just what your wedding looked like, but the spirit of how it was experienced.
Every smile, every pause, every gesture carries its own weight, and I take care to preserve them in a way that invites you back into those feelings for years to come. To me, photographs are not just visual records but touchstones of memory — a reminder of the love, warmth, and joy shared on that day. The collection you receive is crafted to hold both beauty and meaning, an intentional blend of artistry and truth. If what you see resonates with your heart, I would be honored to listen to your story, understand your vision, and thoughtfully document the love you are celebrating.
ICONIC WITH A SENSE OF NOSTALGIA AND BEAUTY
Think refined romance meets modern editorial, with a quiet confidence and timeless soul woven into every frame.
my style & approach
A Style That Blends Elegance With Soul
Imagine your wedding day captured with a blend of timeless sophistication and raw, heartfelt honesty. My style is equal parts luminous and emotive—where refined editorial artistry meets genuine documentary storytelling. Every image is crafted to feel like it belongs in the pages of a magazine, yet remains deeply personal and true to you. I seek out the soft glances, the laughter you didn’t know I was watching, the details you poured your heart into, and the moments you will relive with every look at your gallery. Think cinematic romance, natural grace, and the kind of authenticity that never goes out of style.
An Approach Designed for Ease and Magic
On your wedding day, you deserve to feel present—not posed. My approach is intentionally calm, reassuring, and joyful, guiding you with just enough direction to feel confident while allowing real emotions and natural connections to unfold. I believe in creating space for laughter, intimacy, and spontaneity, all while elevating each moment with an eye for light, composition, and elegance. The result is more than photographs—it’s a visual love story brimming with beauty, depth, and a touch of magic. When you look back at your images, you won’t just see your day—you’ll feel the atmosphere, the energy, and the love that surrounded you.
What to expect...
When it comes to photographing weddings, I pour every ounce of energy, passion, and creativity into your day. I’ve witnessed it all — the belly laughs, the tender tears, the unscripted moments that no one else noticed — and I never take for granted the privilege of being there to capture it all for you. No matter how many weddings I photograph, each one feels brand new, because you are brand new to me. Your love story, your personalities, your energy… they set the tone, and I step in with a heart wide open, ready to celebrate it all. My mission is not only to deliver a gallery overflowing with beauty but also to help you feel fully present so you can soak in every unforgettable second.
Every couple is unique, and that’s exactly how I approach your day. I’ll make you feel at ease, I’ll get you laughing, I’ll guide you when needed — all while bringing my creative eye and a touch of fashion-inspired polish to elevate your portraits. Expect a balance of relaxed, documentary-style storytelling mixed with editorial artistry, all wrapped in light, warmth, and a little bit of magic. At the end of it all, you’ll have more than just stunning images — you’ll have a gallery that feels like you… joyful, timeless, authentic, and alive with love.
With more than a decade of experience photographing weddings, I know how to keep things simple, stress-free, and enjoyable for you. From our first conversation to the moment you receive your gallery, my goal is to make the process seamless. You can always reach out to me with questions or ideas — I’m here to listen, guide, and reassure you at every step. I want this to feel fun, effortless, and deeply personal, because the experience you have matters just as much as the photos you’ll treasure.
On your wedding day, you can expect me to give my full attention to every detail — from the way the light graces your ceremony space, to the elegance of your attire, to the backdrop of the venue you’ve so carefully chosen. I’ll step in with gentle direction when it’s helpful, but I’ll also move quietly in the background to let unscripted moments unfold naturally. The result will be a collection of timeless, heartfelt images that capture the atmosphere, the energy, and the emotions that make your celebration uniquely yours.
THE ANDREA GEDDES WEDDING EXPERIENCE
timeline
01
MEET & DREAM
You can expect to hear from me within 24–48 hours with more information and next steps. My pricing is listed on the website, so once you've had a chance to look that over, we’ll schedule a Zoom meeting to discuss your plans, go over any questions, and see if we're the right fit. To secure your wedding date, a signed agreement and booking retainer are required.
02
let's get excited
Once you’ve booked, I’ll upload your personalized Wedding Guide to your client website. Inside, you’ll find a sample timeline plus thoughtful tips and resources to keep everything smooth—and you excited—as the big day approaches.
03
PLAN & PREPARE
Your editorial portrait session is included with every collection—it’s our relaxed warm-up that builds confidence on camera and sets the tone for your wedding day. About 4–6 weeks before the wedding, you’ll complete a streamlined questionnaire so I can confirm your timeline, finer details, and a refined family formals list. I’ll map photography timings with built-in buffer, scout locations and light at your venue(s), prepare a rain plan, and coordinate with your planner and key vendors so everything stays smooth and unrushed. If you’d like, we’ll also do a quick online check-in 1–2 weeks out to finalize the plan. After you book, your custom, detailed timeline is uploaded to your client website inside your Wedding Guide.
04
the big day
I arrive prepared and calm, with a thoughtful plan and an eye for the in-between moments. I move quietly among your guests to document the real, heartfelt story as it unfolds—and when it’s time for portraits, I step in with clear, flattering direction, tending to posture, veil, boutonnières, and light so you look and feel your absolute best. I keep the day flowing without rush, leave room for joy, and create elegant, timeless photographs that feel like you.
05
YOUR STORY PRESENTED
Within a week of your wedding, I’ll deliver a polished sneak peek—enough to relive the day and share with loved ones. From there, I thoughtfully edit and curate your full gallery, blending honest, documentary moments with elegant, editorial portraits, classic family images, and artful details. Expect a clean, natural edit that feels timeless—not trendy—so your images age as beautifully as your memories. Your complete gallery is delivered in a private online viewing space, with an integrated store for heirloom prints, albums, calendars, and more.
06
ITS NOT OVER
After your gallery is delivered, you’ll receive an invitation to my Newlyweds site—your private hub for what comes next. From there, you can book an anniversary portrait session, commission a bespoke heirloom album that I design for you, or plan future milestones like maternity and family sessions. One of my favorite parts of this work is continuing your story—returning to photograph the chapters that follow and creating a body of images that grows with you.
emotions in frames
From the quiet of your first touch—hands around a doorway, a small prayer, a deep breath—I start with the moments that steady you. Then comes the rush: you’re newly married, walking back down the aisle with linked hands and lit-up smiles. By night, the room explodes with laughter and cheers. I photograph these three parts of your day—the build-up, the ‘we did it’ moment, and the celebration—so you can feel them again every time you look.
your questions answered
How do you collaborate with planners and floral designers?
I see my role as part of a creative team, not just a vendor. I work closely with planners and floral designers to ensure their vision is captured with the same care they put into creating it. Whether it’s styling an invitation suite with fresh florals, photographing a bouquet against natural textures, or highlighting the candlelit reception design, my goal is to create images that honor every detail of the day.
DO YOU OFFER ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS?
Yes — I include what I call an Editorial Portrait Session as part of my wedding photography packages. It’s much more than an engagement session; it’s a relaxed, beautifully styled experience that allows us to connect, helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and creates timeless images before your wedding day.
Do you take on a limited number of weddings per year?
Yes. I intentionally accept a limited number of weddings so that I can dedicate myself fully to each couple. From our first conversation to the final gallery delivery, you’ll receive my complete attention and artistry. My couples never feel like “just another booking” — your wedding is treated as a once-in-a-lifetime story.
HOW DO WE BOOK YOU AS OUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
To book my services, you can contact me through my website. We will schedule a discovery call to discuss your wedding details and vision. A signed contract and a deposit are required to secure your date. Once booked, I'll be with you every step of the way to ensure your wedding photography experience is seamless and enjoyable.
What is your approach to luminous candlelit receptions?
Evening receptions are some of my favorites to capture. I use a combination of natural light, discreet flash, and intentional composition to preserve the glow of candlelight and chandeliers. This allows your images to feel atmospheric and romantic without sacrificing clarity or elegance.

“Andrea, we are still floating on air. Each time we open our gallery, we’re instantly transported back into the joy of our wedding day. Every photograph feels alive — the laughter, the tears, the quiet pauses in between — captured with such grace and intention that we’re left in awe. You don’t just take pictures; you create art that makes people feel truly seen and celebrated.
Having you with us was like having a trusted friend who knew when to gently guide and when to simply let the magic unfold. That ease and authenticity radiates from every frame, and it’s something we’ll treasure forever.
The reactions from friends and family have been overwhelming:
‘These belong in Vogue.’
‘Every single picture is a masterpiece.’
‘I’ve already gone through the gallery five times and still can’t choose a favorite.’

Andrea, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Choosing you as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made. You’ve given us not just photographs, but an iconic legacy of our love — timeless, exquisite, and unforgettable.”
