I’m Andrea! Or Andie if you like that better!
One of my favorite phrases is Collective Effervescence which means "the intense, euphoric, and electric energy experienced by individuals when they come together in a group to share a common purpose"
I've always been sucked in by this emotion, curious about it, wanting to find it in every part of life. Live music, sports, sharing joy in someone's accomplishments.
But where did I find it in the most meaningful capacity? WEDDINGS.
What better common purpose is there than YOUR LOVE?!
it's so nice to meet ya!

my philosophy
Your only job on your wedding day is to show up and exist fully in it!
When it's time for couples portraits, we're not disappearing for an hour to check off a shot list. We're stealing twenty minutes, just the two of you. You get a second to breathe together while I get to catch everything that happens in that moment.
Family photos get done fast and efficiently so you can get back to your people. And everything in between - the cheers, the hugs, the totally unexpected moments nobody planned... that's what I live for.
You've waited a long time for this day. I'm not going to be the reason you missed it
Here's what i really want for you:
I get to show up as the most genuine version of myself: creative, curious, and in my element. In return, I get to witness people at their most human. The emotions of a wedding day are so real and visceral and I can feel every single one of them. I'm present in a way I rarely am anywhere else.
But there's this other thing that happens too! Even in the middle of all that presence, part of my brain is already thinking about the future. About a couple sitting together 40 years from now, or a kid flipping through an album of ancestors they never knew but recognizing exactly how that moment felt. That's the legacy of it.
That's what I'm actually protecting when you see me bouncing around on the dance floor and flitting from one place to another
wedding days wreck me in the best way
✧ I'm basically if REI and Hot Topic had a baby and gave her a camera
✧ I have gotten emotional reading Isaac Asimov
✧ If Mr. Brightside comes on at your wedding, I will be bouncing around your dance floor
✧ I was homeschooled. This explains the...everything
✧ I'm working on hiking as many 4000-footers of New England as I can!
✧ I get extremely passionate at Settlers of Catan and still lose. Every time.
✧ Live music of any kind is my fuel, but metal shows are home to me
Let's break the ice!
FUN FACTS
"When you should "forget" there's a photographer there (like during your ceremony) she fades into the background seamlessly.
When you are interacting with her (like when it's time for family or couple's photos) she's fun and disarming, allowing everyone to be themselves"
- Andrew & Alison, Rhode Island
"Andrea made our wedding SO MUCH FUN"
