Andy Piper Photography

Hey — I’m Andy. Based in Esher (West Molesey/South West Surrey), I specialise in wedding photography and I love doing it. I approach every wedding the same way: as a storyteller who wants to freeze the real, unscripted moments you’ll laugh about for years. My work sits firmly in the documentary and candid camp — I stay unobtrusive, let the day breathe, then step in for a few short, natural portraits so you get those classic images without feeling like you spent the day posing. Why choose me for your wedding in Esher or across Surrey and the South East? I’m an award-winning photographer who cares more about atmosphere than awkward posing. I’m happiest capturing nervous prep-room jokes, the quiet looks, the chaotic family photos, and the unfiltered party moments that make your day uniquely yours. I want to celebrate with you — not just photograph you — so you’ll often find me blending into the guest list and shooting from the heart of the action to catch the best party photos. My approach is relaxed, direct and practical. After we’ve had a chat, I’ll learn the important bits—timings, must-have family shots and the parts of your day you most want to remember—then get out of the way to document everything else. When it’s time for portraits, we’ll go for a short walk around your venue and I’ll encourage natural conversation and movement, which makes for the most genuine bridal and couple shots. I work quickly on group photos so you can get back to your guests, and I keep an eye on light so I can grab those golden-hour moments when they happen. I’ll also happily photograph an engagement shoot if you want to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day — it’s a great way to relax and plan the vibe of your wedding photos. If you’d like more coverage, I can arrange a trusted second shooter to add extra angles and detail. If you’re looking for a wedding day photographer in Esher who brings humour, honesty and a love of candid storytelling to your wedding photos, let’s talk. I’ll bring the camera — and probably a love of engines and good music — and you bring the party.
