Services
Andre Maier Photography specializes in candid, reportage-style photography for weddings, mitzvahs and corporate events. There to document, not direct - we capture the momentous milestones of your life, so you can continue to relive them moment-by-moment, with as much exhilaration as if it were yesterday.
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.
A mitzvah is a symbolic milestone in any young man or woman's life. The day they transition into adulthood - gathering family and friends who have guided and nurtured them through their early years - is an occasion worth celebrating and preserving. Andre Maier Photography knows exactly how to do just that.
An event is a way to promote or introduce your brand / product to the public sphere. With all the time, money and resources you've put into that one larger-than-life moment, you need it to make an impression that lasts long after the guests have departed and the decor has been dismantled. That's when a skilled photographer becomes indispensable.
More than just a fun attraction at your event, Andre Maier Photography's luxury portrait booth adds an element of class and elegance through thoughtful lighting, design, and exciting portraiture. Your event may feel like it began as soon as it ended, a whirlwind of friends, family, coworkers, and more - and with our luxury portrait booth, you can be sure to document each of the people who've been a part of your event's success and fun.

I can't say enough fabulous things about Andre Maier. While many of us know him as world-class, top-rated wedding photographer, he is also a consummate professional and a compassionate human being. Planning a wedding during this pandemic has been extremely stressful, with multiple postponements and organizational nightmares. Andre was incredibly supportive during the entire process and could not have been more accommodating in every way. I give him the highest recommendation. We are huge Andre Maier fans!

I reached out to Andre seeking a photographer to capture my surprise proposal. I assumed this would consist of a couple of photos, but Andre went absolutely above and beyond what I had envisioned. He captured photos of us without being seen, from several angles, all while remaining complete inconspicuous. He was very easy to coordinate with, and through his experience determined exactly when to come in to fully capture the proposal. Not only were his shots tastefully composed, they truly captured the moment, without effecting the moment itself. Immediately after the proposal, he took us to a few

My husband and I cannot speak highly enough of Andre! Throughout the whole wedding planning process, he was professional, helpful, and available. His personality is also lovely and we really enjoyed working with him. Andre's photography is outstanding - he knew all of the "important" people on our wedding day (parents, MOH, etc) and made sure to include them /make them feel important and our photos (wedding and engagement) came out great. He is extremely talented and also has a great team (in addition to Andre, we had Dion on our wedding day who was also very skilled and good to work with).

I worked with Andre over 5 years ago professionally and he was always such a pleasure to work with - so nice to not only the Bride and Groom but also all of the staff. When my husband and I decided to have our wedding in NY we knew we wanted Andre to be our photographer, and we're so happy we did! He was so helpful throughout the planning process, which during Covid was not easy. Day of he was the calming force that kept us at ease. He is extremely professional and polite and really has your best interest at heart. We were so eager to see the photos and he sent us over 70+ beautiful pictures the

My wife & I were immediately impressed by Andre's casual professionalism, his small team, and his desire to be unintrusive and tell the story. He runs a small business with a depth of experience and attention to the important details.
We didn't want many posed photos or for the night to feel too stuffy. We didn't want our wedding to feel like The Met Gala; yet, we wanted someone creative, exacting, and who would capture the moments we wouldn't see.
We worked with Theo on our wedding day who did all of that, including get along well with all our multi-generational guests

Working with Andre and his team on our wedding day was everything we could have hoped for in a photographer. The pictures are so great that I don't know how we will choose which ones to put in our album! He is easy to work with, keeps the bride and groom calm and you just know he's going to capture all of the best moments of your special day. Our family and wedding party were commenting on how great he was to work with all day and night and now we have the pictures to prove it. I highly recommend Andre for your engagement and wedding photos!

Andre is a gem- he is lovely and kind, and also an incredible artist. The pictures he took for my wedding are unlike any other wedding photos I've ever seen before. They are so artistic and artfully done- he had people pose in unique ways that were at the same time natural. In particular. in addition to the bride and groom photos, he captured the personalities of the children in my family amazingly. He also was able to get the big family pictures in a way that made them gorgeous instead of the cheesy/staged pictures you often get from wedding photographers. Additionally, Andre listened to

We used Andre Maier for Photography for our wedding in June 2012 and he did a FABULOUS job. We used his partner Cody as our actual photographer and he was impeccable. I told them that as the bride, I didn’t… want to see our photographer, and that is exactly what we got. Cody was not intrusive or in the way but still managed to get stunning pictures. Andre was very helpful when it came to planning out wedding album, and I couldn’t be more happy. I highly recommend Andre as your wedding photographer!

Andre was everything we were looking for in a photographer. Picking a photographer for our wedding was shaping up to be the most contentious decision out of all of them, until we met him.
We met with several photographers and looked through many portfolios in trying to find the right person. My first priority was to find someone with a great eye whose portfolio I thought was exceptional. My fiancee's (now wife's) first priority was to find someone with whom she would feel comfortable all day, because that's what happens on a wedding day. And both of us wanted someone who had

We could not have been happier with Andre Maier as our photographer for all of our wedding events. We worked with him for my sister's wedding two years ago after a poor experience with a different photographer at her engagement party and we could not believe the amazing improvement working with Andre.
We went with him again for both the engagement and wedding photos for my wedding a few weeks ago and my husband and I were over the moon with the results. Not only were the images lovely and everything we asked for, but the day of the wedding Andre and his day-of partner Theo were so much fun

Andre Maier Studios is an exceptional choice who did an absolutely outstanding job with our wedding. We worked with Gregory as our actual photographer, for both our wedding and engagement shoot. He is a great guy who had a lot of fun with us and our wedding party. He genuinely seems to enjoy working with everyone and really puts you at ease and makes the entire experience of posing for pics a relaxing and enjoyable time.
Andre edits all of the photos himself and they all looked stunning. We really cannot say enough about both Andre and Gregory. We will definitely work with them again in the

Andre was fantastic. From the moment I got on the phone with him, I knew he was the photographer for us. He is professional, yet relaxed. You just know you're in good hands. I didn't once have to worry that something from my must-shoot list would be forgotten, and he was never too intrusive when taking candid shots. He recommended different areas in the city that would be good for photographs, and they came out beautifully. It was so wonderful to view all the photographs and see all the things we missed--particularly the shots of our guests having an amazing time on the dance floor. He

From our first meeting with Andre Maier we knew that he could capture our wedding- with natural & beautiful non-posed photos that told our story. We were thrilled with the results. Cody Raisig was on-time, professional, efficient and in complete control, without being pushy. He managed to corral my large family seamlessly and made us feel comfortable in the posed shots. Cody caught all the big moments from the perfect angle without us even knowing that he was there. The hardest part will be choosing our favorites for our album- there are so many to pick from!

Everything with André was amazing, from our first meeting, until we got our albums!
We booked André for our wedding. He was not pushy like some other photographers we spoke to, and was very understanding of our needs and boy did he deliver!
We didn't even know he was at the wedding for the most part! We got many candid shots of our entire ceremony and reception, and we also took posed photos with friends and family. Each photo is purposeful and well placed. The album truly does tell the story of our wedding.

What can I say about Andre? How about: every single person who has looked at my wedding album says it is the most impressive album they have ever seen. I of course agree :)
Working with Andre (and a second photographer, Gregory) was such an enjoyable experience. I have no idea how he was able to capture the shots that he did because I didn't feel "photographed" throughout the day - with exception of the posed formal shots that we did before the wedding. Our wedding pictures are just beautiful and really tell the story of the day.

Andre 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.

To say Andre is amazing is an understatement. He was the photographer for our wedding and was absolutely fabulous.
Not only are his pictures unparalleled but he was so much fun to have at the wedding. We knew he was there but he was never in the way. Everyone at the wedding said the same thing. He listened to all our requests and was never pushy. He actually was there while I got ready and was never once annoying or in the way. We would recommend him to anyone.
