I am the mother of a recent bride whose wedding Andy photographed in early June. The pictures are stunning. I can’t give enough praise to this man – he was so discreet, polite, courteous but, above all, an excellent photographer. That day can never be regained, but lives on in these breathtaking pictures.

We engaged Andy for our wedding ceremonies last year because we felt comfortable and relaxed when dealing with his professional approach. The photographs turned out fantastic, beyond our wildest expectations. He has a quietly confident style that is not disruptive to the event. He is very calm in his setup and dealing with people, as well as gifted with a fantastic eye.

Our wedding day photos by Andy conveyed more than words could structure. It showed how stiff and nervous we were before and during the church ceremony. In contrast, how joyful, ecstatic and beaming our faces were after professing the ‘Yes, I do’ followed by a passionate kiss. These are emotion in pictures.

We certainly had no regrets choosing Andy and his team for our wedding. He captured the essence of... our wedding in the most beautiful way. He was extremely easy to work with!

The greatest photographs are motivated by feelings and that is exactly what Andy Lim managed to... capture in our family portrait.My sons were down from overseas for Christmas holidays after the long lockdown. Just two days prior to them flying back, my hubby proposed that we have a family shoot. I was totally clueless on how to get anyone to do the shoot for us at the eleventh hour. I quickly googled and managed to find emotions in pictures by Andy Lim. I loved the reviews shared and called the number. My call was answered by Andy himself. After I explained the situation to him, he was very accommodating and understanding. We arranged an hour session for our family portrait the next day and since my home is by the lake, I proposed to have the shoot there.Andy Lim arrived on the dot while I had a difficult time getting my four young sons ready for the shoot. None of them were keen and worst of all, none wanted to go to the lake. I had to give Andy a big last minute surprise by asking him to use my home for the family potrait. He was quick to agree and identified some nice spots both inside and outside the home for the photography. He managed to get the whole session going with loads of fun and banter. To my surprise my sons were very cooperative and managed to pose naturally with Andy's guidance. It was truly meaningful for their 88 year old grandmother as well. Andy portrayed his skills and talent by making her really comfortable and the centre of attraction in all the photos. We are thrilled with the results of Andy Lim's work. I am so glad we had the family potrait. Thank you Andy for making it a memorable moment for my family and I.I highly recommend Andy Lim's personalised and professional service.read more
