ABOUT
Hey, I'm Andy! Nice to meet you.
As a photographer, I understand that photos hold cherished memories that last a lifetime. Whether it's with family, friends, or loved ones, photos capture precious moments that we can revisit time and time again. These snapshots serve as a visual reminder of the joys we've experienced and the people we've shared them with. As such, it's essential to preserve the memories by taking and treasuring photos, especially in a time where the global digital age allows us to store and relive those happy moments with ease.

Why Burlap & Oak
For me, photography is so much more than taking beautiful pictures—it’s the ability to freeze time. A laugh, a touch, a tear of joy… moments that may only last a heartbeat in real life can be cherished forever through a photograph. That’s what inspires me every time I pick up my camera.
I work closely with each couple to truly understand their vision and what matters most to them. My style is timeless yet personal, crafted to reflect your story in a way that feels authentic. Beyond creating images, I want to create an experience -one that feels comfortable, fun, and stress-free.
My greatest joy is knowing the photos I deliver will bring back not only how your day looked, but also how it felt—memories you’ll hold onto for a lifetime.

We will deliver all of the best images of the day without redundancy. It's more about quality over quantity.
