Kind Words
“Andy [MountainWed] absolutely made our wedding weekend. Although we would’ve loved to do a true adventure elopement, we knew that wasn’t possible for our loved ones. Andy suggested alternatives so we could have our cake and eat it, too!! We trusted him on locations, never having been to Asheville before. Booking our entire wedding around him was the best decision we could’ve made!! He’s not only an incredibly talented photographer, but a genuine good time. What’s cooler than sharing a craft brew, under a rock in a river, while wearing your wedding-day-best, with your photographer? He also works great with dogs. He picked up on how much my dog meant to me and snapped so many wonderful pictures of her to incorporate her in our big day. We’ve gotten SO many compliments on our wedding photos from people we don’t even know. Book Andy! You won’t regret it.”

“Andy [MountainWed] is truly a magnificent artist! We never imagined we'd see such incredible photos of ourselves for our Engagement Shoot. His knowledge of local photogenic spots and natural lighting, combined with his agility to climb anywhere for the right angle, makes him a fantastic choice for a mountain shoot! Fun fact: we had so much fun just hanging out with him during our shoot at the Chimneys that we'd consider any good photos to just be a bonus to that amazing time we had......but of course, we were completely blown away when he finished our gallery! Of note: We are two women and felt completely comfortable, celebrated, understood and respected the entire time we were with Andy. In a vulnerable situation like this, it was very important to us.”
— Sarah C.
“We could not have asked for a better experience! Andy [MountainWed] is talented, responsive, and professional. We loved his energy and enthusiasm, even in the bitter cold. We were blown away by our photos. They were even better than we had hoped for. Highly recommend!”
— Kendall M.
Andy [MountainWed] is incredible, we are beyond thrilled with him and his photos. We were stressed and a bit scattered pulling our elopement together last minute. Andy helped find a location for the ceremony, helped put together a rough timeline of the day to keep us on track and have the best lighting for the ceremony and pictures, and truly just felt like one of our friends hanging out with us. We can be a goofy and awkward bunch of people, and Andy loved it and went with it. We are not posey people, and our pictures turned out perfect. Natural, fun, in the moment with some of the most amazing lighting and views of the mountains. Highly recommend his services. Thank you, Andy :)
