The exceptional Andy Kerr Photography has been on fire this year, winning no fewer than three prestigious awards (International Wedding Awards – UK winner, Luxlife’s Best Emotive Wedding Photographer in London and the Home Counties, and Prestige Business Awards UK Wedding Photography Company of the Year). Andy says, “I’m beyond thrilled to be acknowledged by these awards. This is due to my passion for giving couples incredible, magazine-worthy images that are authentic, dynamic and emotional memories, allowing them to relive the excitement of their day every single time they look at them.” As well as the quality of the photography itself, the judging panels also recognised the Andy Kerr Experience that all couples receive. He elaborates: “We believe the experience should be as memorable as the images themselves, and as special as the couple. From the first point of contact through to the wedding, and afterwards, we offer our couples a wonderful customer service – a stress-free journey that they thoroughly enjoy and remember forever.” As one couple recently pointed out: this was the highlight of their wedding planning.
