About
“10/10 Highly recommend.”
Andy was an absolute joy to work with. He was super flexible and open to all of our ideas, no questions asked. He even let us reschedule last minute for better weather!
When my wife and I decided to do an elopement, we weren’t sure if it would feel like a real wedding. Thanks to Andy’s professionalism and relaxed attitude, it ended up being the best wedding we could’ve asked for.
Andy did excellent work scouting the landscape prior to the wedding date. He knew exactly where to find the most spectacular spots to take photos, and we were able to spend ample time at each location.
If you’re looking for a peaceful, stress-free wedding in a beautiful and serene setting, Andy is the photographer for you.

Hi, I’m Andy Wickstrom.
After living and working as a graphic designer in Chicago for more than a decade, my wife and I spent five years living on the road and exploring the county in a small travel trailer. Photography became a way to document where we were, but more than that—it became how we connected, shared stories, and found meaning in the landscapes and people we encountered along the way.
A couple years in, a friend asked if I’d photograph their elopement on a glacier near Squamish, BC. I said yes without hesitation. We flew in at sunrise, landed for a brief 45 minutes, and I watched two people exchange vows in one of the most unreal places I’d ever seen. No script, no timeline—just something real and deeply personal. They spent the rest of the day rock climbing.
That moment stuck with me. I realized there are couples who don’t want the traditional thing—who want their wedding to feel like them. That’s the kind of work I’ve been doing ever since. Helping people mark this moment in a way that’s rooted in place, grounded in meaning, and a little wild.
A few things about me:
I love to get outside and go climbing with family and friends
I have two daughters, Bergen (4) and Holland (2)
I love to play electric guitar
On those beautiful days in Asheville, I love to bike to breweries like @NewBelgium_avl with my family
I’m a little bit of a coffee snob, but I’ve been known to drink gas station coffee in a pinch!
I enjoy learning about film photography and I like to bring the analog cameras along on wedding days, as well
Follow that spark of an idea for your wedding day.
If I’m joining you on your biggest day, I want your focus to be on having fun, feeling confident, and staying relaxed so you can just be in the moment. Whether it’s close to Asheville where I live, or someplace else—no matter the backdrop, my approach is the same.
Things that I never leave at home? A creative eye for epic outdoor adventure photography and a solid plan. I also bring my enthusiastic and friendly vibes. So let’s have some fun, hit the spots with the coolest views, take some creative chances, and document the fleeting but memorable chapters of this experience.
Let your hair down (or bring extra clips if it’s windy), grab those broken-in boots, a celebratory drink of choice, and let the emotion shine through. Does this sound fun or what?!
