Experience That Makes Every Moment Effortless

When it comes to choosing your wedding photographer, experience matters — and it’s something you deserve to know from the very beginning. While many photographers work across multiple genres, weddings require a unique skill set. On average, seasoned wedding photographers capture about 25 weddings per year — hands-on experience that translates into confident, seamless coverage and beautiful, effortless images on your big day.

At Andrew Samplawski Photography, weddings are our true passion. With over 600 weddings photographed, we’ve built a reputation as one of the most trusted wedding photographers in the Chippewa Valley — including Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, Hudson, Duluth, Cadott, Stanley — and beyond, from San Diego and Denver to Myrtle Beach, New York, and Hawaii.

Our team brings over 65 years of collective experience in the wedding industry, staying current with trends, techniques, and best practices — all while focusing on creating a refined, stress-free experience for every couple.

From intimate elopements to grand celebrations, our experience allows us to anticipate moments, manage timelines seamlessly, and capture every emotion and detail with artistry. The result is a collection of images that are not only polished and true-to-color, but also timeless, authentic, and full of life — memories you and your family will treasure forever.

Familiarity Makes Your Day Effortless

Knowing your photographer has experience at your venue can make all the difference.

Andrew is well-respected throughout the Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, and greater Chippewa Valley wedding community, with strong connections to venues, coordinators, DJs, florists, and other trusted partners.

The ASP team prioritizes collaboration with every professional involved in your day, ensuring smooth communication and a photography experience that feels effortless, seamless, and beautifully executed.

Having worked at countless venues, we know the best spots for stunning images — from the well-known “hot spots” to the hidden corners that make your photos uniquely yours. Being on a first-name basis with venue staff adds a layer of professionalism and confidence, helping your day flow naturally.

Every venue comes with its own opportunities and challenges. For example, a large dance floor can be captured from multiple angles to showcase both the energy of the crowd and intimate moments between you and your partner. By analyzing the space ahead of time, we ensure every detail — depth, dimension, décor, and emotion — is thoughtfully captured.

At Andrew Samplawski Photography, weddings are our specialty — they are the heart of our business and the foundation of everything we do. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of working with amazing couples and creating timeless, refined images that tell their unique stories.

Andrew is the heart and face of the company, bringing the same passion, precision, and artistry to every wedding as he did when he first started. He personally trains every associate photographer on our team, working alongside them for at least two years and multiple events each month to ensure they embody the ASP style and standards.

When Andrew is booked for another event, our trusted associate photographers are fully equipped to capture your day with the same elegance, care, and refined vision. Every gallery receives Andrew’s personal touch in post-production, guaranteeing that your images reflect his signature style, artistry, and polished aesthetic. You will also know who will be photographing your wedding before your day, as they will be part of your engagement session — ensuring comfort and familiarity ahead of time.

It’s important to know exactly who will be capturing your day. While your event may be scheduled through a representative, the person behind the camera is what truly matters. Meeting them in advance allows you to experience their personality, professionalism, and approach firsthand. It’s also wise to understand contingency plans in case of illness or unforeseen circumstances, giving you peace of mind that your wedding will be beautifully documented no matter what.

At Andrew Samplawski Photography, we understand how exciting it is to relive your wedding day. Couples can typically expect their full wedding gallery within 8 weeks of the celebration. Each image is thoughtfully edited to create a consistent, polished, and timeless look, while preserving the authentic emotion and story of your day by Andrew himself.

Your gallery is delivered via an easy-to-access online platform, allowing you to view, download, share, and print your images.

From the first look to the last dance, every cherished moment is captured with care so you can relive your wedding day and share your memories with family and friends.

While sample images can be beautiful to browse, nothing compares to experiencing a complete wedding gallery or album. Seeing an entire wedding from start to finish provides a true sense of how your day will be captured — from the quiet, intimate moments to the grand celebrations and everything in between.

As you review a gallery or album, pay attention to the photographer’s artistic style and whether it aligns with your vision for your own story. Notice how key moments are documented — walking down the aisle, exchanging rings, your first dance — as well as the unscripted, candid emotions: guests laughing, tearing up, and sharing in your joy. Ask yourself if the feeling captured mirrors the emotion you want to treasure for a lifetime.

It’s equally important to inspect printed images, as technical corrections made digitally don’t always translate to physical prints. At Andrew Samplawski Photography, we proudly share complete album samples and a range of product options so you can see exactly how our signature style translates into tangible keepsakes.

Andrew believes wedding photos are meant to be held, shared, and cherished. Phones get misplaced, screens are small, and batteries die — but a beautifully handcrafted wedding album allows you to relive your day, display it in your home, share it with family, and pass it down as a treasured heirloom. Your wedding day deserves more than pixels; it deserves to be celebrated in a way that lasts a lifetime.
