My wedding photography approach...
I hear all of the time that couples are wanting a wedding photography experience that is authentic, fun and unobtrusive. Couples are entering a new era of weddings that are less Pinterest oriented, more Presence oriented. If you are a couple seeking a photography experience wherein you can be yourselves, relish in the love surrounding you while being certain that you will end up with artful imagery, you have landed in the right place.

I'm Andrea, owner and primary wedding photographer with Whimsical Roots Photography. What started as a fluke encounter behind the lens at my very first wedding in 2014 has evolved into a passion and privilege of photographing love stories each weekend. I've experienced tremendous loss in life that has resulted in a desire to document every fleeting interaction that I witness. This is especially true at weddings where families and friends come together to celebrate a day that will only transpire once. I pride myself on anticipating fleeting moments and live vicariously through my couples & their families, experiencing all of the wide ranging emotions of a wedding day right alongside them. Truly, I cry at every wedding. I'll call your mom, mom & your dad, dad and I will give your grandma a big hug at the end of the night. Everyone says it, but I mean it, I will be your friend and I care about you, your love story & the memories you make on one of the most important days of your life.
​
With over 10 years of experience in the wedding photography world, I can say that style and skill are intermingled. I leverage a variety of approaches to curate imagery that tells the entire story of your day. This means that I know when and how to use posing, prompting, lighting, angles & the scenes throughout the day to create compelling photos that can make you laugh, make you cry and make you wonder how exactly I did it. Of course I love to act like a fly on the wall, waiting for a big laugh or a tearful hug but I also know when to take a director approach to make the magic happen.
For me, it is not about volume. It is about quality connections and relationship building. I am selective about the couples I work with and the love stories I document. I'm looking for my people... if you are a couple who values travel & culture, bold, flavorful food, gorgeous florals, history & architecture as well as intellect & humor, I think we will be a great match.

I appreciate you finding me and I seriously can't wait to hear from you!
