Authentic Moments is the perfect name for Andrew's ability to capture the little moments you never knew you needed on camera. — Emily

See Your Day Anew

You’ll be deep in the moment on your wedding day—or tucked away somewhere—and that means you’ll miss a lot of it. The laughter from across the room. A stolen glance. The fall of a happy tear. You want someone who's out in the thick of it, capturing it all for you to relive and treasure later on.

That's why I strive to be both ubiquitous and invisible. I shoot quietly, from a distance, and with a sharp eye for timing. That way, I can preserve the real story unfolding around you—the one you weren't even aware of in the moment.

What to Expect

We’ll start with a short consult to get aligned on the details, and I’ll send over the booking paperwork. The week before the wedding, I’ll check in again to make sure nothing’s changed. On the big day, I’ll arrive early and do my best to be both ubiquitous and invisible.

The next day, you’ll get a handful of highlight shots to share. Two weeks later, I’ll send over your edited previews so you can choose favorites and request any edits. When everything feels just right, you’ll settle the balance and I’ll deliver your final gallery.

Reflections from my past couples

Actual quotes from past clients on my Google profile

Beautiful! Andrew was wonderful to work with. From the consultation to the wedding day he was communicating with me the entire time. My photos captured the day in a way I didn't expect. As a bride you wonder how everyone else experiences your day. Andrew captured it all and left us with wonderful memories. I HIGHLY recommend any bride to work with Authentic Moments. You are truly in great hands. Thank you Andrew :) — Ayla

I doubt you’ll find a better photographer. Andrew was hands-down our favorite vendor for the event. We booked Andrew for our Photography for my Groom’s Reception at the Inverness. This guy knows what he is doing and takes exceptional pictures. My favorite part of his work is how he takes the close real images of joy, shock and fun the guests had at our event. Andrew takes pride in taking the most authentic parts of our experience and was able to capture it so well.

His attention to detail is unmatched. During staged photos with the couple, he directed every guest on how to pose to create the best picture. Me, my bride and all the attendees were amazed at the quality of Andrew’s work. Best part about working with Andrew was his quick turnaround. We received our pictures from him a week after the event. We had events for our wedding in two separate cities for our marriage and he was by-far my favorite vendor of this experience. — Sohail

I've worked with Andrew 4 times in various capacities, and each time have had an incredible experience and recieved amazing photos. I first worked with him for marketing photos for the business I work at, and we use them all across our website and flyers. He did a great job capturing the movement and emotion of the group.

The next times I worked with him were all for couples photo shoots, and he was so fun and easy to work with, striking the perfect balance of staging us to get good pictures, and letting us be silly and dance around to get poses we wanted.

Lastly, I worked with him for my wedding. The photos I have are so meaningful to me and I love the way they turned out! Working with such a large group of family and friends, he was efficient in getting everyone in place. We got lots of compliments from guests about the candid photos he got as well. "Authentic Moments" is the perfect name for Andrew's ability to capture the little moments you never knew you needed on camera. — Emily

Andrew did such an incredible job with the photos for my wedding, they are all so crisp and lovely, and told exactly the story we wanted to tell. He was great to work with, both in listening to our ideas and in showing his own creativity. Would happily give more than five stars! — Sarah

We hired Andrew to shoot our small home wedding. The reviews on Thumbtack were positive. And the process of sharing our plan and hiring him was simple. His fees are very reasonable.

He showed up on time the day of our wedding and made sure at the end of his time that he had taken all the photos we wanted. His attitude is so pleasant and helpful that it was nice to have him there with us and he was very creative taking several shoots that we would not have considered but that we loved when we saw the photos. He took all the family group shots we requested, and he took plenty of candids during the reception. He was attentive to the small details also like getting the place settings, cake, our rings and bouquet. He even noticed that a phone we had set up on a tripod to record the ceremony wasn’t recording and started it for us! That wasn’t even his job but he saved us so at least we have the vows on video!

He promptly sent us a link to the watermarked pictures so we could review them the next day, and we asked him to edit one, which he did. Payment was easy and we are so pleased with the final photos as memories of our special day. We recommend Andrew for your event. — Janet

Andrew was amazing. When we first met with him we knew he was going to do great. He shared ideas and pictures from the past weddings he had done and also allowed us to share our own ideas. He made the picture taking fun, easy and stress free.

We originally booked him for four hours and thought that would be too long. Then time got away from us and we asked him to stay longer. He did so with no problem. We got our pictures back so fast and they turned out amazing. There were just a couple that I wanted edited and he did them. He is quick to communicate and respond to emails and texts. He was willing to travel far for our wedding for a low cost.

Our overall experience working with Andrew was wonderful. I would highly recommend him to anyone having either a small low key wedding like ours was or a fancier ceremony. — Denise

Andrew was an incredible addition to our special day. Amazing pricing, very communicative, and a wonderful person to work with. Not to mention the photos came out absolutely incredible. Thank you for everything Andrew. Now our day will remain with us forever! — Madison

Andrew was absolutely AMAZING to work with! He was incredible and helped keep us all on track during the our wedding and made sure that we got all the important moments we wanted. The photos came out beautifully and I am so happy that we will be calling him again to do our family pictures!!! — Tia

I planned a wedding in Colorado long distance. Between Photographer, venue, DJ and cake, I basically had to go in reviews and had to trust my choices.

I had checked into 4 other photographers and ended up picking Andrew Miner with Authentic Moments Photography. I’m so glad I went with Andrew. He was very prompt in following up with me and asked me a lot of questions about what I was looking to capture the day of my wedding. He checked in with me periodically prior to wedding and then week of wedding asked me for timeline and a list of shots I wanted.

Day of wedding he arrived a little bit before arranged time. Immediately started with pictures and working with me on my shot list. We tried to do a lot of photos ahead of time so we could enjoy dinner and reception. Andrew was very good about staying in the background taking pictures. He was also very good about photo opportunities and would grab us for a quick picture. I’m amazed at how many he captured in addition to my list.

I highly recommend him if you need a photographer for anything! — Jodie

Andrew was amazing, he was ready for whatever was thrown his way. He was prepared for any type lighting and request from our bridal party. He was very kind and the turn around to get my pics was fast! They turned out so beautiful I'm so happy that I have pictures of everything from our special day. Authentic Moments would be an amazing choice for an event photographer. 5/5 would use their services again! — Chris

100% recommend! I found him at the very beginning of my wedding Journey (about a year before) and he never stopped communicating and was along the way with me the entire time! I am so grateful for the pictures and beyond! — Meghan

Andrew is a delight! Our wedding pictures turned out fabulous. He used our requests, gave us lots of ideas, and captured what we wanted for joy and happiness. — Patrice

Andrew took awesome pics of our wedding, accommodated our needs, and was easy to work with. Thank you — Nick
