I specialise in wedding & family portraiture, with a strong emphasis on delivering strong, stylish and timeless images with a personal touch, within London, Hertfordshire, Essex and all over the UK. I love to photograph portraits of families, babies, and children, as well as maternity shoots and of course weddings and civil ceremonies. It is currently the start of December, and feeling pretty cold and wintry.
Thus I thought it would be nice to go back to earlier this year and visit Jon and Imogen's late summer wedding. I had lots of fun when I met this bride and groom back in the spring and when we went. I had lots of fun when I met this bride and groom back in the spring and when we went for their pre-wedding shoot in Trent Park, Cockfosters (sandwiched between the North London boroughs of Enfield and Barnet), and knew their wedding day was going to be much the same - lots of laughter and good times.
This was also a first for me - I've never photographed a wedding ceremony at the end of my road - however, with the marriage being held in the lovely St Mary Magdalene's I was able to walk from home and then scuttle as quickly as my little legs would allow back to pick up my car afterwards to drive to the reception venue of Capel Manor.

Hi, my name is Andy Brooks, and I confess to being absolutely passionate about photography.
I have been taking photographs since my teens and have over the last few years developed a particular style and love for recording people - this has been exponentially increased since the birth of my photogenic but slightly photographically unco-operative son.
Since his birth, I have begun to strongly believe we all have a responsibility to ourselves and future generations to use photography as a medium - after all it allows us to capture particular moments and preserve our memories, whether of our wedding day, our children growing up, or even just normal everyday things.

In this guide you will find details of the types of portrait session I offer, how these sessions work and how much they will cost.
You will be surprised how affordable they are.
I like to keep things simple - have your shoot and then select your favourite images and purchase framed prints or electronic images from the 'a la carte' list.
What I do guarantee, apart from a promise of lovely images and great personal service, is no hidden surprises, no hard sell & since I believe in being totally transparent, my prices for you to see from the start.

Our memories of special events are perhaps some of our most treasured possessions.
Weddings are no different, and your photographs ensure your memories of this special day will never fade.
I approach your wedding photography as a storyteller, with an emphasis on recording your day as it happens and capturing the essence of your wedding in an unobtrusive manner.
We are all different and want different things- that's what makes life interesting (& complicated).
Like people, no two weddings are the same.

I photographed this set back in the Autumn, but have only just sat down to add these to the blog - the wait has been worth it for me though and revisiting these images to compile this post has been gratifying as I had forgotten how much I like these images - so it gives.

When we met to discuss their wedding plans, Andy and Emma let slip their love of lavender.
Thus a plan was hatched between the three of us.
Fast forward nearly a year and we found ourselves meeting one very sunny afternoon at Hitchin Lavender Farm for their pre-wedding photography stint.

When I photographed their Ingatestone Hall wedding a few weeks ago, I was delighted to see the product of our labours (an album) being shown off and enjoyed the guests.
