I worked with Israel at the Fairmont Orchid to orchestrate a surprise proposal photoshoot masked as…read morean ordinary session. The entire process from booking, to planning, and finally executing was so smooth. I was very appreciative of their accommodations to book over 4 months ahead of time and their secrecy to ensure the proposal was a surprise. On the day of the shoot, Israel discreetly informed me of the plan for the photos and how to progress into the engagement. Israel's talent with photography should not be understated. He has a keen eye for framing, using the environment to amplify his subjects, and profound creativity in shot composition to capture memories in the most authentic way. My fiancé and I are extremely grateful for his professionalism, skill, and warm attitude that made us comfortable the entire time. I would STRONGLY recommend working with Pacific Dream Photography in any way that fits your photography needs, but, particularly with Israel who captured our important day better than I imagined.

My…read morehusband and I found ourselves feeling quite exhausted by the experience that I shouldn't have booked so late in the day with small children. However, when we received the photos from our session just 24 hours later, we were truly amazed. The images showcased us as the happiest and most beautiful family. Let me set the scene on the real image 2 exhausted parents side eyeing each other and their kids running around in the sand. We've lost complete control of them and are actually trying to control 3 children under the age of 5. They are losing their exhausted minds, while our photographer made miracles happen, capturing the essence of our time on the island. The photographer worked wonders, and it was evident that she dedicated hours to editing our photos. We left the beach that day feeling the onlookers rethinking any thoughts of having children but in contrast, our family appeared in the photos as if we were living our best day on the island, radiating joy and warmth. Going in know it's not cheap. Put it in your budget because it's something that you will have FOREVER. Remember that they are very good at what they do. In my case I checked around and it's just a little less than most but better quality and EXCELLENT customer service. Went in just wanting one family photo and I bought all of them on the thumb drive. The pictures were not taken recently but I still have them and I'm going again to have them taken so I'll update again. The reviews are still good so I wanted to add. Still no buyers remorse. Still get compliments on their photos.

It was important to me to record this life event with professional photographs. I contacted Bob Fewell, and he graciously agreed to perform this service for us. He was very professional and used his brand new state of the art digital SLR camera. He took us to a lovely area and spent nearly three hours with us. He was so patient and kind especially with our two young grandchildren who were easily distracted. He did a beautiful job and now we have very special memories of our wonderful week together. He charged a flat fee and then provided us with two CD's, one with RAW and one with JPEG photos, which we own and can reprint as we wish. I am so glad we arranged to do this and highly recommend Bob!
