About

Love In Focus provides wedding photography in and around Bristol and the south west.

I believe that being a nice, friendly person is as important as being a good photographer. Everyone has heard the horror stories of the grumpy old man who barks at your guests and bosses you around all day.

AMAZING!!! Sandy was like one of the family on our wedding day - we are so happy that he was there to capture so many moments for us. There are so many things we had forgotten as the day goes by so quickly but feel so lucky to have so many amazing pictures to look back on! I honestly could not recommend him highly enough - he really is the best! More...

Thank you Sandy for our wedding day photos. The pictures are fantastic and really captures the whole day. We loved the idea that you prefer the natural photos and you have captured this perfectly. You were very friendly and professional and would definitely recommend you. More...

Sandy was fantastic during the day and captured a huge range of pictures that told the story of our wedding day. He was at times very subtle and had pictured so many things that we wouldn't have noticed , yet was also able to get some great group shots of the family (even amongst the business). The turnaround time for 5/600+ pictures was fantastic and delivered by surprise in a custom wooden USB stick/storage box which was a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Sandy is a fantastic photographer and very friendly and professional to work with. He took such beautiful and natural photographs of our wedding day, especially considering that due to terrible traffic (because of an accident on the motorway) lots of our guests were severely delayed and our day didn’t go to plan. He was flexible with how to adapt to the situation and got some amazing photographs for us to remember our day by. We would highly recommend him, especially for his unique ability to capture special moments, that as the bride and groom you miss in all the craziness that is your wedding day! Great to look back on our day through his lense. We are totally chuffed with our photus. Thank you Sandy. More...

Sandy was an incredible photographer! He was professional, helpful and reassuring. Throughout the day he quietly managed to get so many amazing shots - looking back through the photos, we keep saying ‘wow I didn’t even notice him there! ’. Many of our guests have commented on how organised Sandy was during the group shots which meant the Bride and Groom could relax and enjoy the day. The quality of the photos is brilliant, we are thrilled with them. There is a good mix of formal photos combined with images capturing special moments of people enjoying the day. We couldn’t recommend him enough! Thank you, Sandy! More...

Such brilliant service from start to finish. Originally I wasn't overly keen on even having a professional photographer but we saw Sandy's photographs and decided to go for it. He was discrete when necessary and called the shots when the time came. He helped us relax into the day and made sure that he caused no stress whatsoever, which meant that he got some really amazing photographs of us and everyone who attended the wedding. Essentially we couldn't have asked for more and his post wedding day service was both timely and professional. I am a very harsh reviewer and would say if I had anything negative but I don't!

Myself and my new wife Jorja were married on 14/10.When planning our wedding, we were about to start the rounds of searching for a photographer to capture our day. We heard many stories whereby people had to look through almost 10 photographers before making a decision as it was such an important role to tender. We were pleasantly surprised that Sandy's Love in Focus page was the first one we came across, because as soon as we saw the portfolio of his previous work, we know he would capture our day the way we wanted to.When we met Sandy he was very professional and down to earth. We said yes there and then, we felt like we were getting a lot of character, talent and personality for our money. We had our pre wedding shoot in order to get used to being in front of the camera and Sandys instructions. The good thing about his approach is that he is very direct, and you need a photographer to be this way, because when you are tumbling through your big day at one million miles per hour, you don't need someone to be mitigating and beat around the bush as you are very time limited throughout the day, so I am sure that if Sandy was not direct then we would not have got anywhere near as many photographs taken. He even managed to calm my Bride when I accidentally ripped her dress! (Grooms, dont do that.) We haven't received our wedding photos back yet, so this is premature, however I will update my review once they are received. However, we did receive our pre wedding pics very promptly and the quality of them was spectacular. Sandy is clearly a very talented photographer and editor. The shots he can foresee are incredible and he had a really great eye for it. Thanks again, and if anyone comes across this review when looking for wedding photography, look no further, Sandy's Love in Focus is the one you need! More...

When we met Sandy, he asked for 3 words to describe what we wanted for our wedding. We got the day we wanted, and Sandy's photos show that much better than our words ever could. We couldn't be happier with them! From the start, Sandy has been really helpful; he always replied promptly to our emails and arranged to meet us to discuss what we wanted. We had a really nice chat and immediately felt like Sandy was the sort of person we could work with. We had an engagement shoot, which was actually good fun and and a really good way for Sandy to get to know us and us him. It helped us to get more comfortable with the camera, which is particularly helpful if you don't like having your photo taken! Sandy sent us the engagement photos really quickly, and we were delighted with them. He was great on the wedding day - he got on well with our guests, listened to what we wanted and had lots of ideas for the bridal shoot and he also made sure he could take plenty of reportage photos that really encapsulate the day. Sandy emailed us a sneaky peak of the photos and the we got a lovely surprise when they all came through in the post. We absolutely love all the photos and their quality speak for themselves. But we can also recommend Sandy as a really nice guy, who is easy to get on with and that was really important for us, given that you spend a lot of your wedding day with the photographer. Sandy is very friendly and wanted to do what he could to make sure we enjoyed our day and have lasting memories of it. Thank you Sandy! More...

Sandy is great - he understood our nerves about being the centre of attention all day, was unobtrusive during important wedding moments, and was a right laugh during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day.

We got married in June but met Sandy many months before to discuss our Wedding and the kind of photos we were looking for. Our initial meeting was great as we were able to discuss what we wanted to capture on the day but also being able to view Sandy's work. We were also able to have an engagement shoot which was a lovely way to capture some great shots but also put us at ease ready for the big day.On the day Itself Sandy was wonderful and he spent the whole day with us from start to finish in order to capture the whole experience. He put all our guests at ease and half the time they didn't even realise he was taking shots which captured some hilarious moments. I couldn't recommend Sandy enough and we have the most wonderful pictures to look back on.Thanks again Rachel and Mark Searley More...

Sandy is a super creative wedding photographer who really got what we wanted. As well as a natural reportage style, we wanted to have a play with lighting given we were getting married in December when there's not lots of daylight, and he truly delivered! Wow. Thoroughly professional, but really easy to get on with, relaxed, fun and every one at the wedding commented on how great he was and like one of our guests! We've just received our full set and love them, couldn't recommend Sandy more! Thank you. More...

We were over the moon with Sandy's photos. Our family and friends loved them as well and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending him. He was very diligent and friendly, great at getting everyone relaxed for group shots, creative and open to suggestions. Nothing was too much. Apart from the posed for shots we barely noticed he was there. We wanted beautiful, natural looking, reportage photos and that's what we got. More...

Had our wedding recently in Bristol and we were glad to have Sandy taking our photos! He's flexible, reliable and a nice person who always has his mind on what could be the best shot. We are pleased with the results - the photos have captured the day as wonderfully as it was. What we have also really liked is the small wooden box with the wooden pendrive in it: looks great and clearly shows that it stores information very dear to us. More...

We loved the look and style of Sandy's work online and having met him and seen further samples of his, booked him straight away for our wedding. We liked the way he took the time to find out what we wanted from our pictures and were confident that he would be able to deliver.Sandy's easy going nature put us and our guests in the right frame of mind for relaxed stress-free wedding photos on the big day. We also had an engagement shoot beforehand and this helped us think about what we wanted on the day in more detail, as well as get us used to smiling for lots of pictures.The quality of our finished photos is everything we had hoped for and all the special moments of our day were captured the way we wanted. Sandy made sure that all of the formal shots we wanted were taken, as well as blending into the background to discreetly capture brilliant ad-hoc photos of us and our guests during the day.We're delighted and are happy to recommend Sandy!

It was really important for me to have a great photographer to capture my special day. I wanted some one that wouldn't be intrusive but would be able to capture the personal moments as well as having the traditional group photos. I believe that i found that with Love-in-focus photography. After looking through some of Sandys previous work i was extremely impressed with the way he framed his photos and was able to capture the feel of the occasion. Also the way the the photos didn't just look like generic wedding photos but were really personal to each couple. I was so happy with the photos that we got back from the wedding that i asked him back a few months later after the arrival of our son to take a newborn baby shoot! More...
