Andy Hardman Photography
At Andy Hardman Photography, I create exceptional images that have a fine art and timeless quality that will bring all those special feels back every time you view them. My versatile style lends itself to on the fly changes with lighting, weather, and most importantly maintaining a fun and relaxed environment. My specialty is capturing candid moments that brings your wedding back to life after the guests have all gone home. I strive to create magnificent portraits of the wedding couple that are as intimate as they are unique. Creating a narrative depicting the magic and excitement of a wedding is my number 1 goal. I constantly hone my craft and have been a wedding photographer since 2004, and hold a Bachelors in Fine Arts in photography. Photography is a passion of mine that I love to share professionally and weddings prove to be amazing events to capture superb images.

"We had the honor of having Andy Hardman be the photographer for our wedding in Portland, OR. A picture is worth a thousand words, but his photographs left us speechless. His expertise and creativity enabled him to adjust masterfully to whatever scenery, lighting, weather, or angle he needed to capture the essence and beauty of that moment. He had a way with people that engaged and disarmed them which resulted in natural and relaxed expressions. Reviewing the pictures the day after with him was very special, especially because time flew and everything felt like a blur! Andy has exceptional skills in perfecting photos. Lastly, not only were his photos amazing, he had great business acumen as well! He was punctual, reliable, generous, funny and professional."
"Thank you with all our love for being with us on our wedding day. You have a relaxed personality and you keep a real subtle balance between being professional and personable. We appreciate your ability to capture moments that were so special and moments that we didn’t even see on the day. They’re not wedding photos; they’re works of art!"
"Andy's captures in his photography more than peoples look, he captures peoples personality and humanity. He photographed my wedding in New Orleans, which was a little cloudy, but managed to use all the light that was available to really capture the mood of the day and the event. He also captured a comprehensive vision of my wedding, with close-ups, landscapes, and portraits of my family and friends. Thanks to Andy I feel like I have a really unique, honest look at an important day in my life."
"Working with Andy for our wedding and engagement photos was fantastic. He was easy and prompt to communicate with for questions, and both my husband and I felt comfortable even though we've never had professional pictures taken of us in the past. Andy worked to capture our authenticity and natural selves. The photos are beautiful, they are all around our living space and will be for years to come! Photography was incredibly important for our husband and I at our wedding; many details of the day will fade but our photos captured laughter, joy, excitement, and love. I highly recommend Hardman Photography; Andy will be our photographer for years to come as our family grows."
“Andy was amazing to work with. Our wedding took place in a rural setting and involved some significant photography challenges including high winds, variable temperatures, and tricky access to and from the wedding site. Andy managed to use all of these challenges to his advantage, highlighting the crashing waves of Lake Superior and capturing photos that maximized the beautiful fall colors and diverse geological features of our wedding location. Andy has a keen eye that led to not only beautiful traditionally posed wedding portraits but also unique shots from a variety of angles and distances. He thought to capture little details as well, including photographs of the rock cairns that made up our wedding aisle. The best shot of the day is a breathtaking shot that we had blown up as a 6'x3' canvas print. We are proud to showcase this beautiful photograph in our home and love the memories of that day that it brings to mind. Andy did a wonderful job documenting our wedding day. I would recommend his wedding photography services to anyone.”
