After our first email correspondence with Amy we knew we were in the right hands as she immediately helped us organize all of our travel ideas and wishes into fun, tangible plans and bookings to look forward to. Amy and Bethany are incredibly creative, knowledgeable, and flawlessly organized travel designers, helping us plan each day with interesting dining reservations, wine and architectural tours etc.. excursions as well as opportunities to relax at the spa, while shopping, and by the sea/pool. They also went above and beyond and secured us the best options at each hotel we stayed at and helped us select ideal tour options. Charm & Awe's coordination, great ideas, and excitement for us for this trip was reflected in every interaction, especially in their availability and kindness in answering our many travel q's and the beautifully detailed digital itinerary they put together for us to reference before and while traveling. Amy and Bethany turned our overseas honeymoon dreams into realities and made each stage of the planning and travel process exciting, collaborative, and stress-free.

Suzanne has a real gift for explaining things and was extremely patient. The workshop was so much fun. We got handouts that I now keep in my camera bag for easy reference. We were given assignments and instructions before each activity. We had time then to practice then gather back as a group. After the class we went for coffee and had an opportunity to share our photos and get feedback from Suzanne. It was the best photography class I've ever had. I can't wait to take another when I return to Boston. I highly recommend the Curious Soul Photo School!
