Super responsive with info and availability! Worked out great!

3 August 2023

I planned a wedding in Colorado long distance. Between Photographer, venue, DJ and cake, I basically had to go on reviews and had to trust my choices. I had checked into 4 other photographers and ended up picking Andrew Miner with Pinery Labs Photography. I'm so glad I went with Andrew. He was very prompt in following up with me and asked me a lot of questions about what I was looking to capture the day of my wedding. He checked in with me periodically prior to wedding and then week of wedding asked me for timeline and a list of shots I wanted.Day of wedding he arrived a little bit before arranged time. Immediately started with pictures and working with me on my shot list. We tried to do a lot of photos ahead of time so we could enjoy dinner and reception. Andrew was very good about staying in the background taking pictures. He was also very good about photo opportunities and would grab us for a quick picture. I'm amazed at how many he captured in addition to my list.I highly recommend him if you need a photographer for anything! More...

Our first photoshoot with Andrew was amazing! He happily answered every question I had, and told me how everything would work, so I never felt like I was in the dark. Booking was simple and the photoshoot itself was a blast! Andrew is extremely likable and kept my husband and I laughing the whole time. It was also a very pleasant surprise that we got our photos back within a matter of hours! The photos themselves were adorable and I’m very happy with them. The cost was reasonable and affordable, and I appreciated that the payment could be made virtually. Another thing that really stood out to us about Andrew is how creative he is with ideas for poses! I’m glad I know who to contact for our next photoshoot! More...

Andrew was very professional and prepared. He worked within my budget and was very cognizant of my needs. He continually checked with me to ensure he was providing what I needed. He was quick with getting the photos to me (12 hours). The initial 17 photos were not as I wanted and he sent me yet another set which fulfilled my needs. The quality was wonderful. He cropped the ones that I wanted and the entire business was completed within 3 days. He followed up with me to ensure I was satisfied. It was a great experience. More...

I hired Andrew for headshots to be used in a business setting. We agreed on a cost that fit my budget. It was impressive how he managed to work in what I needed and how much I could spend. We met at his home and everything was all ready for the 30 minute session. He took about 90-100 phots in a variety of locations and lighting. He was very professional. He returned the photos to me within 12 hours. The original photos did not meet my needs however within a very shot period of time he sent me another her set of photos. Once I decided on the photos, he cropped and formatted them. The entire business interaction was completed within 3 days. It was a great experience. More...

I booked PLP to shoot a photo memory album for a mountain excursion.


The service was top tier. My group had many logistical challenges and the photographer was patient and professional throughout the entire experience. He literally went above and beyond and we hit the jack pot booking him !

The photos turned out nice and crisp and if I lived here I’d book this team for all of our photography needs . Miner was an all around cool person to shoot with and a pleasant person to spend an afternoon with.

All the best - from the great state of Georgia!

Andrew was great! I found him online while looking into getting photos taken of me and my boyfriend while we were in Denver. Since I am not from the area I needed help choosing a good spot. Andrew knew exactly where to take us and man was it beautiful! This was also the first time either me or my boyfriend have had photos taken so with poses we were lost. He also did a great job posing us and keeping us laughing the whole time! Andrew is absolutely amazing and 10/10 recommend him for your photo needs! I will definitely be going to him for all photos I want/need taken in Denver. Thank you again Andrew!! More...

We hired Andrew to shoot our small home wedding. The reviews on Thumbtack were positive. And the process of sharing our plan and hiring him was simple. His fees are very reasonable. He showed up on time the day of our wedding and made sure at the end of his time that he had taken all the photos we wanted. His attitude is so pleasant and helpful that it was nice to have him there with us and he was very creative taking several shoots that we would not have considered but that we loved when we saw the photos. He took all the family group shots we requested, and he took plenty of candids during the reception. He was attentive to the small details also like getting the place settings, cake, our rings and bouquet. He even noticed that a phone we had set up on a tripod to record the ceremony wasn't recording and started it for us! That wasn't even his job but he saved us so at least we have the vows on video! He promptly sent us a link to the watermarked pictures so we could review them the next day, and we asked him to edit one, which he did. Payment was easy and we are so pleased with the final photos as memories of our special day. We recommend Andrew for your event. More...

We had great time working with Andrew. He came to our house for family pictures and got some beautiful shots. He was patient and creative when working with my little ones, because, oh well, it’s not easy to deal with a 3 year old and a 9 months old baby 😜 He also brought his lights to help with the lighting and we got to see the pictures super fast, that same night!

It was a pleasure meeting and working with Andrew. He responded to my inquiry within a day and explained his services well. During the day of shoot he actually arrived an hour early to scout the area prior and was very kind and professional throughout our session. He made my husband and I feel very comfortable both on and off camera. We were given our results of the shoot that same day which was impressive. My only feedback is it wasn’t exactly the type of lighting/colors I wanted (we did our shoot a little prior to sunset) and we weren’t able to get the raw images (which we could’ve if it was discussed prior). Overall, great photographer. More...

Q&As

Everyone has a fake smile they use when they know someone is taking their picture. The trick to great portrait photography is to help the subject break out of that, and show their genuine self. I do this by infusing each session with humor, silliness, and moving quickly from pose to pose or location to location. Even posed pictures take on the unplanned quality of a perfect candid photo when the subject is genuinely laughing.

Naturally, I start with the basics: time, place, etc. Then, I like to find out what the photos will ultimately be used for, and whether the client has any definite ideas for the shoot. I think a photographer's job includes bringing their own options to the shoot, but, ultimately, the photos must serve the client's needs first. Finally, I'll often send a client away with some "homework" to think about poses, props, and other touches they might like to add.

I love meeting new people, and the mix of technical and interpersonal skills required to help them relax enough in front of the camera to capture their true selves.

This is the third company I've started; the prior two where both Silicon Valley software start-ups. Now that I've left that world (mostly), I wanted to mix my enthusiasm for building companies with my long-time passion for digital photography.

I'm fun to work with, have excellent technical and artistic skills, and I work quickly. That means you'll have a blast during your photo shoot (especially kids), get a lot of shots in a short photo shoot, and get your photos back again within 24 hours: often the same day!

I'm happy to consult over projects online or by phone. For photo editing, I'm happy to work completely online.

Even now that things have settled down somewhat, I still always carry a mask with me, and I'm happy to wear it if a customer prefers it. I also provide several touch-less payment options (Zelle, Venmo, Paypal), and deliver all photos online.

Services

Whether family portraits, graduation pictures, or professional headshots, I'm happy to make sure you look your best. I like to have fun with shoots and get everyone laughing so that you have a good time, and the pictures reflect your genuine smiles.

A headshot is your online identity. So you want it to reflect your best self. My easy-going manner, and casual approach to getting a lot of options ensures you'll have the perfect online presence.

Events are a photographer's paradise! Everywhere you turn, there are people enjoying themselves, laughing, doing silly things, and generally creating all sorts of great photographic opportunities.

Creating intimate images requires a lot of trust. You'll find that I'm patient, relaxed, empathetic, and super fun to work with. I'll help you explore your sensual side in an encouraging environment that lets you feel and look your best.
