Looking for something in particular? Here's where to start:
Portrait and Wedding Photographer based in Scottsdale and Nashville, Passionate about capturing JOY, connection, and real moments.
I AM ANDREW WITH ANDREW JADE PHOTO.
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN BOTH SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA AND MIDDLE TENNESSEE.
IN EARLY 2009, I WAS SO UNHAPPY IN MY DESK JOB. I FELT STUCK IN AN INDUSTRY THAT I DREADED, AND IT WAS A TERRIBLE FIT FOR ME TO BEGIN WITH. I WAS NEWLY MARRIED AND MY WIFE EMILY WAS SEEING ME COME HOME DEPRESSED EVERY DAY, THE LIFE AND EXCITEMENT THAT SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH WAS SLOWLY DISAPPEARING.
MY PHOTOGRAPHY JOURNEY
IN MAY 2009 (JUST SIX MONTHS AFTER EMILY AND I WERE MARRIED), ALL OF THAT WAS ABOUT TO CHANGE! WE TOOK A TRIP TO IRELAND TOGETHER AND WE BOTH FELL IN LOVE WITH THE BEAUTY OF THE LAND, THE LOVING PEOPLE, AND SOMETHING NEW WAS BIRTHED. UP UNTIL THAT TRIP, PHOTOGRAPHY WAS JUST A CREATIVE OUTLET, BUT NOW I KNEW IT WAS SOMETHING I HAD TO PURSUE. I COULDN'T STOP TAKING PICTURES AND TRYING TO RECREATE THE BEAUTY I WAS SEEING IN FRONT OF ME... TRYING TO MAKE THE SMILES LAST... TRYING TO KEEP THOSE MEMORIES FOREVER ALIVE.
SHORTLY AFTER WE GOT HOME, WE BOTH QUIT OUR JOBS, SOLD A BUNCH OF OUR BELONGINGS, AND BOUGHT A WHOLE LOT OF NEW CAMERA GEAR. WE DECIDED TO START A PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS TOGETHER. WE KNEW WE HAD TO TRY OR WE WOULD REGRET IT!
AFTER DECIDING THAT WEDDINGS AND LOVE STORIES WERE OUR TRUE PASSION, WE FOUND THAT WE LOVED THE NATURAL ASPECT OF A WEDDING DAY. NO AWKWARD POSING, NO FORCED SMILES. CAPTURING WEDDINGS AS THEY UNFOLD WITH A MORE NATURAL APPROACH. REAL SMILES. REAL PEOPLE. INTENSE LOVE AND RAW EMOTION. PHOTOS THAT TELL A STORY.
AFTER 12 YEARS IN BUSINESS TOGETHER, EMILY DECIDED TO MOVE ON FROM PHOTOGRAPHY, BUT I HAVE BECOME MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT I DO NOW THAN EVER! I NOW HAVE 14 YEARS OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND OVER 450 WEDDINGS UNDER MY BELT.
AS OF 2023, I STARTED OPENING UP MY SCHEDULE FOR FAMILIES AS WELL. SO IF YOU ARE PAST YOUR WEDDING PLANNING DAYS AND INTO THAT SPECIAL SEASON OF RAISING LITTLE ONES, WE CAN SET UP A TIME TO CAPTURE YOUR GROWING FAMILY AS WELL!
EVERY WEDDING IS A BEAUTIFUL STORY UNFOLDING. EVERY TIME I HEAR "I DO" OR WATCH THAT FIRST KISS, I AM BLESSED TO KNOW THAT THE RISK I TOOK 12 YEARS AGO HAS COMPLETELY PAID OFF! I HAVE THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD.
I WOULD LOVE NOTHING MORE THAN TO CAPTURE YOUR STORY. TO CREATE INCREDIBLE, LASTING MEMORIES THAT YOU ARE CAPTIVATED BY.

I specialize in fine art wedding photography, but I also have a huge passion to capture the story as it unfolds. Every wedding I shoot confirms to me that I am exactly where I am supposed to be, doing what I absolutely love to do.

Engagement sessions are my FAVORITE photo sessions! This is our time to really get to know each other and connect. It's also a great way to get those photo jitters out of your system!

Family sessions are so important! This is our time to really capture those moments before they pass us by. Kids grow up so fast, don't let another year go by without saving these priceless moments forever.
