Capturing Family Keepsakes in Aruba
Marica Dacey booked a Flytographer session to thank her future in laws for their fabulous family vacation in Aruba. We started at The Hyatt Resort with some group pictures.
“By the time we got to the day of the shoot, Steven and I had exchanged pictures of ourselves and I felt like I was meeting an old friend! He actually had his back to me and my mother-in-law when we met in the lobby and I exclaimed “Hello Steven!” when I saw him. Working with 6 adults, Steven’s bubbly personality loosened all of us up and he had a perfect plan to shoot as many different photos as he could in one seamless trail from our hotel, through the grounds and down to the water.”
After some fun shots, we headed to the Pelican Pier where they had some drinks. Because, really, there are few things better than a cold beer on a hot day in Aruba! “In terms of our photographer Steven, he was nothing short of amazing. He was newly added to Flytographer, and as the other options were booked, I was a little nervous, but trusted our concierge, Tedi, that he would be great. Any doubts I had were immediately squashed when he worked with the same level of service and dedication I saw from Tedi. I didn’t have cell service on the island and we figured out a way via the app whatsapp to go over every detail. Steven had such a great amount of energy via those conversations alone, it felt like I already knew him when we finally met for the shoot. He made us all so comfortable and created such a wonderful environment for us, I do not think we could have had a better result. We had so much fun we were sad he had a booking after us, as we wanted him to come with us to get drinks!”
“Luckily the wind we had seen on previous days was rather calm, but typically something we would have taken into serious consideration when picking outfits, especially dresses. We also had the most amazing sunset which served as an idyllic backdrop for our last photos. Now that we have them, our friends and family who have seen the pictures think they are fake! What a testament to Steven and his talents! The end result of a perfect balance of daylight and sunset photos made us feel like we got double the pictures!”
Marica, you guys were amazing, thank you!
