Nachdem ich Sommer 2024 schon eine Fototour mit Andy unternommen hatte und von ihm den Tipp bekommen habe, Brügge zur Weihnachtszeit zu besuchen, habe ich das gerne getan. Zum Hochzeitstag waren wir im weihnachtlichen Brügge und ich habe diesmal ein Romantic Couple Shooting bei Andy gebucht und seiner bezaubernden Katie als Assistenz an dem Abend. Es sind wundervolle Fotos entstanden und Erinnerungen für immer! Andy ist immer fröhlich, lustig und wir hatten so eine gute und entspannte Zeit mit den Beiden, das sieht man auch auf den Fotos. Wir möchten Andy sowohl als Fotograf für Shootings in Brügge, als auch die Photo Tour empfehlen! Man lernt sehr viel über Brügge, sieht Plätze die man allein vielleicht nicht entdeckt hätte und eine gute Zeit ist immer garantiert! Danke Andy und Katie!

Foi uma extraordinária experiência estas 2 horas com o Andy. Grande fotógrafo, grande conhecedor de Brugges e da sua história. Depois desta experiência passamos realmente a conhecer a extraordinária cidade de Brugges. Obrigado Andy!

"Shades of Brugge" Photo Tour with Andy McSweeney was just brilliant. My only request is that I had not done a night photo like this earlier so photography would have been better from the start of our European holiday. I went on the tour in the hope of learning at least one new tip and be taken to something perfect photo spots in Bruges. Andy provided lots of guidance and tips during the trip that I will take forward in my photography journey. Also, the locations taken were just awesome with a couple hidden gems. Would highly recommend connecting with Andy if you are in Bruges for a photo tour you will not be disappointed. Thanks, Andy, for a great tour.

We spent a wonderful morning touring beautiful Bruges with Andy. He gave us a lot of information about Bruges, it's history and the way of life for the locals. He showed us a good cross-section of the city, from the canals, to architecture, to some quiet streets with little details that I would not have noticed As two enthusiastic photographers he spent time encouraging us to try some different compositions and spending time showing us some tips and tricks. Andy has real passion and energy for his work and it shows. I would really recommend a tour with Andy.

Op een koude novembermiddag en avond genoten van de bijzondere rondleiding en wandelvierdaagse fotografie. Je ziet Brugge op een andere en intensere manier. Anders kijken naar gebouwen en op andere manier je foto’s maken. Deze combi van rondleiding en fotografie cursus viel in goede aarde bij ons hele gezelschap, van jong tot oud! Ook mede omdat Andy het met zijn humor, enthousiasme en betrokkenheid het tot een compleet feest maakte! Ik raad deze tour van harte aan! Jef van Wingerden

I randomly stumbled upon this tour while on another tour, looked it up, saw he allows you to take a +1 and off we went. I had a great time wandering through Bruges with Andy. Nice shooting locations and good tips for fine tuning some shots. It was nice to see all the options for shots that you can have at a location. And there was some history, tips for maintaining a relation with your partner while being a photographer and some light Comedy thrown in.

I was fortunate to spend a few hours with Andy checking out some of the less-visited places in Bruge a couple of days ago. What I valued most was learning how to make the most of a photo shoot location from all aspects, as well as technical tips and cool history facts. If you like taking photos and wish to see Bruge and improve your street photo technique, I would highly recommend this tour.

I've taken three private tours with Andy at Photo Tour Brugge over the years. Each time, Andy went above and beyond to make the tour a phenomenal experience. He has always taken took into account my experience level each time, my goals, and my equipment. From the first tour (where he focused on helping me learn the basics of using a mirrorless system) to my most recent tour with him (where he helped me with composition and 'story telling'), he's been wonderful and fun to work with. I appreciate how he takes the time to listen to my questions and goals (including as they change during the tour) and adapt accordingly. I highly recommend doing a photo tour with Photo Tour Brugge!

Andy was absolutely a wonderful teacher and guide. The evening that we had the tour it was raining. Andy made himself available for the next morning, the experience exceeded all of my expectations. We also managed to have great conversation through out our tour. I would highly recommend him for your next visit to Burge

The Tourguide as you want it to be !! Andy McSweeney picked me up at the collection point. He informed me of how the tour would look like and he showed me the locations which were interesting to take photo's from. Also showing the examples from his tablet, to see the variety . There was plenty of room for questions and ideas. The passionate Andy,also told me a lot about the history of Brugge as well, which I found a bonus. Andy is guy who is really passionate about his photography as well as a person who is easy to approach and very likeable. All in all, had a nice photo tour in Brugge, with future (photo) visits for sure !

Wir haben zwei Touren an einem Tag mit Andy unternommen. Die erste am Morgen und die zweite abends als es bereits dunkel war. Beide Touren waren super interessant und Andy hat uns mit seiner lustigen und inspirierenden Art Lust gemacht, künftig wieder mehr zu fotografieren. Und das mit einem anderen Blick für die Bildkomposition...

We had a wonderful walking photo tour with Andy. It was raining but that disintegrated stop us from learning a lot and having a great morning

We were looking for a photographer to take a couple of family photos during our holiday in Brugge and Andy ended up being much more than that ! We had a very pleasant moment learning about the city and its secrets, and great pictures to go along with all that !

Andy gave my wife and I an amazing tour of beautiful Brugge AND helped us capture some incredible and unique photos of the lesser known parts of town. We learned a little history from a local, got some photo tips, and had a lot of fun on this tour. Highly recommend.

Brugge, photos, and fun: what more could you want?

I took my second photo tour with Andy this summer. After a group afternoon tour a few years ago, this time I decided to take the plunge with a private evening tour. It was definitely worth it! Andy is a very approachable and fun guy. You get great advice on composition and technique. It is self-explanatory that he knows the right spots and times, as he has lived in the city for many years now. I can recommend Photo Tour Brugge wholeheartedly to people interested in photography (no matter what their skill level is) and will join again once I am back in this beautiful city!

Andy's photography tour in Bruges was exceptional! He not only guided us through the city's picturesque streets but also shared his passion for photography. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience truly memorable. If you're looking for a fantastic way to explore Bruges and learn something new, I highly recommend this tour.

Get some great shots of this incredibly picturesque city! I was the only one who showed up for the tour, but Andy still ran it just for me, which was awesome! He was super nice and really knowledgeable about Bruges, sharing interesting facts about the city while taking me to some incredible spots. His tips on using my camera were super helpful, and I learned a ton. I came away with some great photos. Highly recommend if you want to improve your photography and explore Bruges from a unique perspective!

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!

가이드따라 다니는게 싫어 혼자 여행 다니는 중인데 숙소에서 photo tour 리플렛을 부고 망설임없이 바로 신청했다. 일단은 개별 투어라 최대 4인까지인것이 좋았고 브뤼헤의 Hidden Alley를 안내해줄것같아 미리 설레었다. Andy는 스마트폰을 들고 따라나선 나를 위해 폰의 기술적 테크닉을 알려줬딘. 알고보면 간단하지만 Andy가 아니었으면 난 폰을 바꿀때까지 그 기술을 써먹지도 못했을 것이다. 사진 구도잡는 법, 강조할것과 비워둬야할것등에 대한 설명과 Andy의 사진을 본후 흉내내어 사진을 찍었다. 확연히 이전 사진과는 차이가 났다. 너무 신이 났다. Andy의 사진들은 그림같았고 좋은 카메라로 찍어 스마트폰으로는 따라할수 없었지만 Andy에게 배운후 찍은 사진들을 인스타에 올리니 지인들이 사진이 너무 멋있게 확 달라졌다고 한다. 영어설명을 다 알아들을수 없어서 그게 좀 아쉬웠지만 Andy의 참고사진을 보면서 사진에 대해 다시 생각하고 뭔가 풍경의 구도를 잡는 눈이 높아진거 같다. Andy에게 감사하며 늘 행복하길~~ Andy와의 투어중에 찍은, 완전 생초보인 나의 사진을 부끄럽지만 올려본다.
