NYC and LA Wedding Photography
The story of your wedding — relaxed, deliberate, beautiful
The best day of your life — your wedding day — will play out in a delicious blur of happy tears and Champagne toasts, congratulatory embraces and heels-off dancing. Love-drunk, you may be too busy reveling in the moment to stop and appreciate the tiny details of this day you worked so hard, for so long, to create. That’s where André Maier Photography comes in… With you every step of the way — from morning makeup application until the final sendoff — our aim is to capture the magic of your wedding, exactly as it happened. Natural, beautifully crafted portraits that don’t have to take long to make and journalistic coverage of every moment, emotion and memory. Our role as photographers is to document the complete story with stealth, spontaneity and creativity, for a photo collection that preserves the elation and emotion of your big day. We always aim for an deliver a fun, easy, drama-free experience.
OUR PHOTOGRAPHERS
André’s co-photographers have each been handpicked because their photography styles, personalities, and philosophies closely mirror his own. As wedding photographers, they are as calm and unobtrusive as they are skilled and experienced. Each has trained and shot alongside André for years. With any one of our photographers, couples can access the same relaxed, unscripted, and beautiful wedding photography. Couples always know which wedding photographer they will be working with in advance, and André edits and retouches every photo and handles the creation of every wedding album. You can see each of our portfolios below:

TESTIMONIALS
“Planning our wedding was as painful as purchasing an apartment in NYC. The most rewarding outcome (that required the least amount of effort) was working with Andre. He completely captured the event without being intrusive. The wedding party and guests all looked natural and spontaneous–no cliche, staged shots. He immediately gave us high resolution files at no additional cost. We are so proud of Andre’s work.” — Daryl & Hootan
“André was amazing to work with from the moment we met him. Our initial consultation made us sure that he was the right photographer for us. His photojournalistic method was exactly what we were looking for. At our wedding he couldn’t have been more perfect. We didn’t even know he was there — the mark of a brilliant photographer. And then when we got our photos (only 3 weeks later!!!!) we were thrilled. They truly told the story of our wedding day. We would recommend him to anyone.” —Sara & Chris
“Andre was amazing throughout the whole process! When we met with him before our wedding he impressed us with his laid back, relaxed attitude, his focus on candid shots and of course the quality of his pictures blew us away! We knew right away we wanted him to shoot our wedding. When our wedding day arrived, Andre was very inconspicuous — I actually only noticed him once throughout the whole day (except for our posed family shots) yet he captured every single moment of our special day! When we got home from our honeymoon our prints were on my email already- and they brought tears to my eyes! Needless to say I would highly recommend Andre if you are looking for amazing photos for any special occasion!!” — Valerie & Greg

wedding party portraits don't just have to be one row of people not knowing what to do with their hands.

Gorgeous setup at the iconic Philadelphia Museum of Art. Such an amazing venue for a wedding or just about any celebration.

is it worth braving wind and drizzle for the classic shot on the "rocky steps" outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art (swipe to see it)? YES! It's a question I get often about rain plans and what do to with bad weather. Sometimes - actually, many times - the unexpected will get the most memorable moments, photos, and memories... And if it's just not an option, we'll always find great spots inside your venue as well.

Going to high school in Germany, a very large part of our history teachings were dedicated to the Holocaust. It was to instill a shared responsibility for the actions of our previous generations, to be aware of and to reject antisemitism and other racial or ethnic bias, and to remind us to never forget. We can never let atrocities towards Jewish people - or any other people - ever happen again.
It is so sad and shocking to see what is going on in Israel. My heart goes out to the people of Israel and so many of my friends here in NYC with friends and families there. ...
