Based in North County, San Diego, we’re a husband-and-wife team with over a decade of experience capturing love stories. With backgrounds rooted in both artistry and storytelling, Andy was the senior staff photographer for concerts and sporting events at SDSU, while Brittney studied Visual Communications at FIDM. Together, we bring a blend of technical skill and creative vision to every shoot.
Hey there, we’re Andy and Brittney!
We spend our days raising our three amazing kids. We’re just two simple people who cherish family laughter, beach days, and discovering new local coffee shops and restaurants.
As we celebrate over 10 years in business, we’re endlessly grateful—not just for the work we love, but for the fact that after a decade of working side by side, we still love each other (most days, haha!).
What began as a shared love for the open road and documenting our travels in high school has formed into a full-time career capturing authentic love stories all over the world.
When we first started dating at the age of 17, we dreamed of creating a travel magazine—something that would capture the thrill and freedom of the open road. That’s where the name Astray was born, inspired by our passion for adventure and the idea of stepping off the beaten path. A few years later and no magazine, we fell into the wedding industry and the name was put to use.
While we absolutely love traveling to epic locations and feeling that humbling sense of how small we really are in this vast world, there’s nothing more fulfilling than connecting with the couples we photograph and building lifelong bonds through the art of storytelling.
With only those memories to hold onto, we came to truly appreciate the importance of capturing life’s moments. What started as a hobby turned into a career by chance, but at its heart, it’s always been about preserving the fleeting moments that mean the most.
Experiencing loss at a young age taught us just how powerful photos and home videos can be.

Probably wearing my Lulu Lemons because leggings are real pants—you can’t convince me otherwise. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me hiking, soaking up the sun at the beach, or hunting down the best açaí bowls.

Total tech geek over here! I could talk about Canon video gear for hours. But above all, I’m a proud father, loving husband, and deeply rooted in my Christian faith. My wife and I love traveling to Mexico to visit family and, of course, track down the best tacos we can find!

"Absolutely breathtaking!!!"
"I followed Astray on instagram well before we were engaged and reached out to them hours after our proposal... :) We just knew they were the first and most important vendors of our wedding and we were so right! "
