Beautiful and bad-ass wedding porn from Los Angeles photographer Michael Andrews

July 10th, 2010 - 

This business has paid a fee to be listed on offbeatbride.com because they feel their wedding products and services are in-line with offbeat brides’ philosophies and needs … and I agree. Here’s more info about how advertising works on offbeatbride.com.


Michael Andrews is a wedding photographer based in Los Angeles with a background in photojournalism and documentary photography. So that means he's a bad-ass at capturing the moments as they happen. Or as Michael puts it, "My work is true to the day and the vision of couples I work with. I want to get the real shit, otherwise, why bother doing this!?" Amen brothah!

Check out some of Michael's favorite photos from his offbeat weddings (click on the photos to see more from each one) and take advantage of his special offer…


Michael may be based in Los Angeles but he's totally willing to travel anywhere in the US. I just love this sweet photo from Jericha and Paul's Baha'i wedding in Hawaii.


Michael can just as easily shoot a destination wedding in a tropical location as well as a traditional Buddhist wedding (like Yuko and Kevin's), that took place in a someone's home where almost everything that went on was in another language. Michael said about this wedding, "one doesn't need to speak the same language to see and feel the happiness was present." And that idea is so very apparent in his photographs.


Oh! And you guys have seen his work on Offbeat Bride before, he was the one that introduced us all to the rock candy flower arrangements that blew our minds and inspired a ton of you guys to "rock" those at your wedding. ;)

OFFBEAT DISCOUNT: Free engagement shoot with a booking of any package (which is a $325 value!).

If you've been looking for a wedding photographer who is going to document the heck out of your wedding no matter where you are or what language you speak, then get in contact with Michael Andrews ASAP and leave your wedding moments in good hands.

I'm a previous OBB advertiser.  I want the whole enchilada package now :)
I am a photographer based in Los Angeles, available for travel to most destinations.  My background is in Photojournalism; the majority of my work is unposed and unscripted.  Some adjectives that come to mind are: real, authentic, genuine, and honest.  All overused terms that fail to capture my minimalist and PJ purist nature.  My work is true to the day and the vision of couples I work with. I want to get the real shit, otherwise, why bother doing this!?  I work my butt off, but I also have fun at weddings—if you can't have fun at a wedding you should not be shooting one.  I'm very stealthy and ninja like (despite my chunky disposition) in my all-black wardrobe when I shoot, but I'm chameleon like in the way I adapt to a shoot…….  I **do ** interact with clients and guests when appropriate, but I am generally very hands off in my approach.  I do not interfere with the timeline or much of anything—it's all about the couple, *not me*.
I love non traditional weddings where couples really make it their own :)
I have one coming up this month at a vineyard with wild animals (zebras, camels, other critters)
If you dig into my bloggie just a bit, you'll find Jericha and Paul.  http://mandrewsphotographyblog.com/blog/post/90

Jericha was an OBB and was delighted with me and the photographs I created for her :)   They will be featured in a new gallery on my web site, but for now just on my blog.
On my web site, Tiff and Phil would definitely be another example of my OBB work.
Bring on the OBB's that value photography!
As far as which pictures I want to use, probably one couple from each wedding to show my range of work.
I'm completely open to any ideas about promotions.  Frankly your ideas would be welcome in this area!
I am not a great writer, but I think I covered most of the info you need to get started.
What happens now?
