Hey,
I'm Andre
Well since you are here, I guess you'd like to know a bit more about me, what an honor! While I am a professional when it comes to taking photos, I find talking about myself to be a bit harder.
With that being said, I am a happy-go-lucky, extroverted, and artistic individual who believes that capturing moments and living life is one of the best things anyone could ever do. Since the age of 8, when I got my first digital camera, I have been capturing the world around me. Memory is fleeting, but photographs are not, and there was something about that always fascinated me.
Being born in Seattle and spending my whole life here so far, I have loved exploring the surrounding nature and seeing what the world has to offer. The natural world is a treasure trove of inspiration for the times when I am not kicking it back and relaxing. Besides that, I love going out for some drinks with friends or going to try new restaurants. There is NOTHING like an amazing restaurant to make me happy beyond belief. When I am out of Seattle, I love to escape the cold and visit tropical locations such as Bali where I can kick back, relax, and enjoy some fresh fruit.
In addition, I love to dance and make people happy, especially through photographs. There is nothing like someone looking at a photograph that I have taken of them and them going, "WOW!", or texting me how they're running laps in their home because they love the photos so much.
Well, that's all that there is to me, for now. If you've read this far you should probably reach out, I probably have some memories to capture for you!

Wedding FAQ
What kinds of photography packages do you offer?
I offer a variety of packages to fit your wedding day needs, from small elopements to full-day celebrations. Additional hours can be added for $400 (before tax), and you can find detailed pricing and options on my Investment Page. Let’s work together to create a package that’s perfect for your day!
How many photos will we get in our wedding gallery?
On average, I deliver around 100 photos per hour of shooting. However, this can vary based on the events of the day and whether additional photographers are present. I strive to provide a comprehensive gallery that captures the essence of your wedding.
How long does it take to get our photos after the wedding?
Your wedding gallery will typically be delivered within one month. During peak wedding season, this may extend to three months, but I always aim to deliver sooner without compromising quality.
Wedding FAQ
Can we add a second shooter for our wedding day?
Yes, you can add a second shooter to your wedding package for $125 per hour. This option helps capture more moments and different perspectives throughout your day. I usually recommend one for weddings of over 100 people, but at the end, it is up to personal preference.
What are your general travel fees?
Travel within 50 miles round trip from Shoreline, WA, is included in all packages. Beyond that, a fee of $1 is charged for every additional mile of travel. For example:
- A 100-mile round trip incurs a $50 fee.
- A 150-mile round trip incurs a $100 fee.
Some packages include a travel allowance—ask about this when booking!

I recommend outfits that feel authentically you while allowing you to move comfortably. My style guide will help you with ideas, and I encourage incorporating personal touches like favorite jerseys, picnic blankets, or other meaningful props to make your session uniquely yours.
How soon will we get our photos for Save the Dates?
Engagement session photos are typically delivered within two weeks, giving you plenty of time to use them for Save the Date cards or announcements.
Where can we go for the engagement session?
I’m always up for exploring beautiful and unique locations! Whether it’s a forest, a beach, or even an urban backdrop, I’ll help you find the perfect spot. Let’s make it special for you! I have locations that I can recommend.
General FAQ
What kind of photography do you specialize in?
I specialize in wedding and engagement photography but also enjoy capturing family portraits and other special milestones. My goal is to create timeless images that you’ll cherish forever.
What if it rains on our wedding or engagement session?
Rain can add a unique and romantic touch to your photos. If it’s a light drizzle, we can incorporate umbrellas and embrace the weather. For heavier rain, we can reschedule, subject to availability.
What equipment do you use for your sessions?
I use professional Sony cameras and lenses to ensure your photos are of the highest quality. My gear is well-maintained and equipped to handle any lighting or weather conditions.

I happened to come across Andre’s portfolio online and was very impressed. During our consultation it felt like we connected with Andre so easily and were able to convey our wedding theme. He took our simple wants and turned them into a work of art. Andre truly captured our personalities and the classic elegance of our wedding. The moment I received the images I cried. Never had I expected the beauty he captured for us on our day. Thank you Andre for capturing every moment the way you did.

Cannot recommend Andre enough!!!!! We hired him for our destination wedding in Aruba and he got along SO well with our group of friends, I am sure they will be hiring him for their upcoming events. My family also kept asking me where I found him because he made everyone feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera. I also want to highlight that the meetings to prepare beforehand were so easy and he truly listened to everything I want photographed and made me feel heard.

Andre did my engagement photoshoot, and I couldn’t have asked for someone better. From inquiry to receiving our photos, he was professional, kind, and incredibly talented. I inquired last minute, and he was very responsive. He was flexible with scheduling and adjusted for weather... My fiancé and I were shy at first, but Andre made us comfortable (even in the freezing cold, rain, and hail!). He was also very accommodating with our dog, which was important to us. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, friendly, and professional wedding photographer.

My fiancé and I had the best experience working with Andre. He is very communicative and creative. We had an initial meeting describing the photoshoot/style/ideas and then during the shoot he led us and helped us with posing and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Andre is very attentive to details, if you want someone who can not only deliver photos in a timely manner but someone who is passionate about what they do- please book with weddingsbyAndre!

We enjoyed getting photographed by Andre. He is a talented artist with his unique style. We loved his work and professionalism.
We had to reschedule our photoshoot couple of times, he was flexible. We also had to change the location last minute due to weather conditions, Andre recommended the location and it worked out well. We had a great time. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to enjoy the experience.

My husband and I hired Andre for our courthouse wedding. He was highly communicative with us throughout the whole process.
On our wedding day, he was very patient with our family. He helped us by telling us how to pose. Since it was our first time getting pictures taken, he made us feel comfortable.
We are delighted with our pictures. Every time we look at them, we comment on how good of a job he did.
