Andrew Gill Photography

I signed up for Unilocal just so I could review Andrew, a decision my husband and I made within two days of our mid-​April 2013 wedding.
When we met with Andrew before the wedding, we told him we wanted him to capture emotions rather than specific shots (okay, we had a few specific shots we wanted) and he did an amazing job. I look at some of the photos I didn’t even know he got, of me and my husband, of us with our siblings, with parents, with nieces, with friends… and you can see the love and joy on all our faces. It was more than I had hoped for and I couldn’t be happier.
Andrew was so professional, and yet so extremely laid back. His prices were the most reasonable I found and his approach to shooting weddings lined up exactly with what I wanted. He rolled with everything that went wrong (it was a LOT) and he got some great shots, even with my wisecracking, never-​stop-​talking, smart-​alec siblings (who were my half of the wedding party). He knows how to get really great photos without being demanding or barking orders and everything ended up looking so natural. He even helped me and my husband out with when giving us tips on when to do what (cutting the cake, toasts, etc), since we didn’t have a clue.
Andrew had a few preview shots out to us within a week of the wedding, and then loaded the rest onto the Flickr Pro account he set up for us, a set at a time (pre-​wedding, ceremony, post-​ceremony, reception, dancing). Everything was loaded up by about 6 weeks after the wedding, and I actually really appreciated the pacing, rather than waiting for everything all at once.
I can’t think of what else I’ll need professional photos taken of, but if I do, Andrew will be the first person I contact.

We used Andrew for our June 2010 wedding in Chicago. I cannot recommend him enough — he is extremely professional and reliable, takes gorgeous pictures and is a fantastic alternative to all the «Big Box» wedding photography options out there, and all at an incredibly price.
We received all our photos within four weeks of our wedding, had full digital rights, and were able to share them with our family and friends while the memories were still fresh. The photos were so great that we opted not to use any of the retouching he had included in our package.
Andrew is also extremely pleasant to work with because he has a friendly, low-​key personality. We felt like he really understood what we wanted and did not try to «sell» us on anything.

I have had the pleasure of working at a wedding with Andrew before and I have to say it is always a pleasure to work with someone who is such a pro, and ALSO a very friendly person. Not always traits that go hand in hand. I would definitely recommend him to my closest friends…

We hired Andrew to photograph our wedding and are incredibly pleased with his services and grateful for his professionalism and flexibility. First the basics — we looked at a few other photographers and we did not find anyone that compares on cost. It wasn’t even close. So it was affordable to work with Andrew, but also very smooth. He met with us in person three times and I am sure would have more had we asked. He was very responsive to emails and never set a limit of the number of contacts, which is something we have heard other vendors do. Andrew is personable, intelligent and very easy to work with.
My wife and I also relied heavily on our vendors for advice on how to structure the wedding evening — they are the pros after all — and Andrew was always game for giving us advice on what works best.
When we returned from our honeymoon Andrew had setup a Flickr account for us to see all of our photos. The quality is outstanding. The quantity is huge. And he gave us full rights to the photos. We could not have asked for a better experience with Andrew.

I was fortunate enough to work with Andrew for the first time this weekend (I am a wedding DJ). I noticed a few things that really stood out about him.
1) He was came the site visit with me. I have never met a photographer at a site visit before. This showed a very high level of professionalism on Andrew’s part. He was willing to go above and beyond for the bride and groom (they were a great couple!).
2) On the night of the wedding, I don’t think I ever saw him not shooting. I am certain the bride and groom are going to be very happy with the variety of work they receive.
3) Andrew was very personable. He worked very hard while being laid back at the same time. I believe this sets a great mood for the bride and groom… especially in those shots right before and after the ceremony — where the time can be a little tense :)
Oh…and he works for NPR… so he has some hipster street cred

I hired Andrew Gill to manage a 3-​camera shoot of my comedy show, Don’t Spit the Water (
)! He assembled a fantastic crew, was able to interface with the theater’s sound board, and delivered a fully-​edited masterpiece. The whole cast was very happy with the taping, and the cost fit our budget.
If I had to come up with a word that rhymed with Andrew Gill’s last name, and also conveyed one of his relevant traits, I’d use the word, «Skill.» Gill has a lot of skill when it comes to photography and videography. If I had to come up with a fictional location based on another fictional location that might convey where Andrew Gill was born and raised, I’d say he was born and raised on Skilligan’s Island. His photography and video services provide a «Three-​Hour Tour» de force.

Andrew is a fantastic photographer. He shot my wedding last summer and I could not have been happier with the results. He worked well with many family members to get great posed pictures, while also unobtrusively capturing the spontaneous moments. His laid back demeanor put everyone at ease. He posted the pics on the web and provided us the the proofs incredibly quickly. I would highly recommend Andrew if you are looking for a photographer who will really capture the feel of the day and for a reasonable price.
