Solo & YOLO Photo Shoot

You. Only. Live. Once.

What better way to celebrate no one holding you back in Brugge???

A solo story, one that will make them wish they were here.

Andy McSweeney is absolutely incredible. My fiancé and I were lucky to work with him for our engagement photos in Bruges. Living in the U.S., I was nervous about logistics, but Andy put all my worries at ease with his constant communication over several months. He went above and beyond by coordinating with the canal cruise operators, helping me choose the perfect proposal spot, and even navigating the unpredictable weather—rain was a real possibility up til the last minute! On the day of the proposal, despite the slick roads from earlier rain, Andy somehow managed to bike safely around the city, capturing stunning shots along our canal cruise. His timing was impeccable, and he beautifully documented the entire experience, making it a moment we'll cherish forever. The photos exceeded all my expectations—I’m proud to share them with family and friends. Beyond the incredible photography, Andy’s kindness and professionalism stood out. He even surprised us with a lovely print of Bruges and other thoughtful goodies at the end of the session, which was such a special touch. His eye for detail and ability to guide us through poses (even when I was too excited to think straight!) made the experience unforgettable. If I could give Andy more than 5 stars, I would—11/10, hands down the best photographer! - 25/09/24

We highly recommend Andy and his lovely wife/assistant Katja for a couples photo shoot! We both really enjoyed the shoot, the conversations, the history lessons of Bruges, and most of all the end result! We wanted natural photos for our 25th wedding anniversary and Andy did not disappoint. He took the rainy weather and my husband's mobility issues in stride and made the shoot delightful. Thanks again to Andy and Katja! - 21/06/24

My now fiancé and I did a proposal photoshoot with Andy and it was great. We got into contact a week and a half earlier and he was always available via WhatsApp for my ideas. He gave good advice on the locations and weather and did a great overall job. We are happy and highly recommend this guy 😁😉 - 20/06/24

Andy shot my fiance and I's engagement in Brugge! He was very helpful in the pre-engagement phase, suggesting locations for a great proposal and pulled off a great surprise on Lover's Bridge. He and his wife were so kind during the session and made us feel so comfortable, and even shared a bit about Brugge as we walked through the city taking photos. Our photos turned our beautiful and will be a treasure for us for years to come. We can't recommend Andy enough! - 10/06/24

My fiancée and I had engagement photos taken round Bruges with Andy and would highly recommend him. The pictures are perfect and Andy put us at ease with his friendly, jovial manner. The hour and a bit we spent with Andy was enjoyable from start to finish! - 06/06/24

Andy does a fantastic job at the engagement session, even though there was heavy rain that day the photos came out beautiful, and he is also a very happy and fun person who knows a lot about the history of witches. I definitely totally recommend it - 07/01/24

Top Photo Shoot questions, answered:

  1. Morning: A start time of 8-10am will offer the very best light & low crowds at the main sights.
  2. Afternoon: Later in the day is better than high noon for more charming late day light.
  3. Evening: Also a top choice with crowds moved on & evening light as the mood.

Contact us to be 100% sure of the right fit.

The interaction you and your photographer Andy will have is aiming to be relaxed and natural, just like the photos.

Expect a bit of this and a bit of that as far as chit chat on where we are in Brugge, a bit of getting to know each other towards opening up a bit for the camera, and of course a few bad jokes from Andy to work the smiles and fun times promised. ;)

Absolutely not! Andy's here to catch the natural and real you...
