Planning my engagement photoshoot with Andy started back in March, and from day one he was incredibly helpful. He guided me in choosing the perfect location and timing, was always available to answer questions, and was completely flexible with any changes along the way. His communication and willingness to help made the whole planning process stress-free.During the session, Andy was unbelievably kind and welcoming. He made us feel completely at home, helped us relax in front of the camera, and made the experience flow naturally. We genuinely had an amazing time with him, and it felt like spending time with a friend.Andy is not only an outstanding photographer with more than 20 years of experience, but also a wonderful person with a fantastic sense of humor. His passion and professionalism shine through in every moment.Whenever we return to Bruges, we will definitely book another photoshoot with him, and we would also love to join one of his workshops or photography tours.Thank you, Andy, for turning the surprise proposal for my fiancée into an unforgettable memory that we will cherish forever.

Mr. Andy was wonderful. I live in Maryland and happen to catch his website online when I was looking for a photographer. Read the reviews and they were all positive. So I reached out and let him know that I wanted to get a proposal photo shoot done in Brugge. Not just on land but on a boat. He helped me pick the best boat rental company and helped me plan for 3 months. It turned out amazing and not only was he the photographer but also a boat guide. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Andy thank you, from me and my now fiancé. Definitely recommend! - 19/06/26
