Dorchester wedding photographer Andy Whale crafts editorial, storytelling wedding photography—discreet, award-winning, and experienced. Genuine moments captured for timeless wedding photos.
I’m Andy — a Dorchester-based, award-winning wedding photographer who believes every wedding is a story waiting to be told. With more than 25 years behind the camera and recognition as a Fellow of the BIPP, my work focuses on an editorial, storytelling approach that captures authentic, unscripted moments. I aim to create images that feel honest and timeless, so when you look back you’ll relive the emotion of the day, not just the poses. My style is rooted in observation and sensitivity. I blend into the background, staying discreet while remaining alert to the fleeting glances, laughter, and tears that reveal the real character of your wedding. This approach lets couples relax and enjoy their day, knowing I’m there to catch the moments that matter without interrupting them. Whether it’s the quiet nervous smile before you walk down the aisle or the spontaneous joy on the dance floor, my priority is to preserve the atmosphere and feeling of your celebration. Working with me is a personal experience. We start with a consultation — in person or via video call — so I can learn about your story, your plans, and what’s important to you. In the weeks before your wedding I’ll support pre-wedding planning to ensure we’re aligned on timings, key people, and the moments you want captured. On the day I work unobtrusively alongside your celebrations, and you’ll receive a thoughtfully curated gallery of images shortly after your wedding. My background includes national and international awards and professional commissions, but weddings remain the most rewarding work I do. I combine technical expertise and a creative eye to produce professional wedding photos with depth, composition, and feeling. From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, I tailor my approach to reflect the uniqueness of your day. If you’re looking for a Dorchester wedding photographer who values storytelling, authenticity, and an experienced, calm presence on your wedding day, let’s talk. I’ll listen to your vision and create a visual narrative that preserves your memories for years to come.
