“Weeks prior to going our trip, my wife and I communicated a number of times with Daniel to which he gave us wardrobe suggestions and really was interested to know what images we were hoping to ultimately have.

“Things didn’t go quite as planned (a nice way of saying “camera trouble”) but we made the most of it. I’m more of a hands-on learner and never knew where to start with this camera after moving up from a bridge-type from a different company, so let it languish in a drawer for years. This tour was a great opportunity to figure things out with some expert guidance, and also see some locations I might not otherwise have found. I booked this experience for the beginning of my trip and I’ve been able to use the knowledge I gained pretty much every day since.”

“Undoubtedly, I do not have words to describe how amazing and unique was this photoshooting session. The places, the environment and our amazing photographer were all key elements in order to make this moment unforgettable. On the other hand, there is no doubt that without Giada this moment would not have been possible. Giada is such a nice and surprising photographer that without doubt will make of this photoshooting session an astonishing journey. The locations she chooses and the “unprepared moments” when she starts photographing you (without you knowing that those images might end up being your favorite ones since they were not previously arranged but are full of joy…”

I will forever keep these pictures and remember this trip thanks to Konstantina.”
