My girlfriends real-estate partner surprised her, their team and their spouses to an all inclusive stay at the super luxurious and exclusive resort known as Blantyre. The team hit their yearly goal and as a treat we were all invited to stay. Th...e initial invitation was sent out late September and we were told to clear our schedules for the four days, so we did!
When we first got the news my initial reaction, like many, is to check out the property, location, attractions and all its amenities.
As I was researching its pristine facility and it's immaculately manicured grounds, I thought to myself that if were to propose to my girlfriend of two and half years, this was going to be THE place to do it!
I immediately contacted the sales director, Crista Oppenheim, and shared the idea of a proposal at the Blantyre during out stay. Crista couldn't have been more supportive and bended over backwards to ensure that this special moment was executed flawlessly.
The only thing I didn't think to myself was... who is going to capture this intimate moment on camera?
I immediately called Crista for suggestions and she gave me a referral instantly; Dani of Dani Fine Photography.
I called Dani and explained exactly what my vision was, the time I wanted to propose and how I wanted to do it. Dani was super supportive and very informative. She explained to me the best time of day to capture the moment, suggested where the shots be taken and how they should be taken. She gave me an educational crash course that I am extremely grateful for and it was done all in one short phone call. I knew right then and their that this was the right person for the job.
On the day of the actual shoot, Dani asked me to come (sneak) downstairs to ensure the setup was right and I didn't need to adjust a thing. Dani had everything correct right down to the picture frames, décor, candles and flowers. Dani had it all correct right from the start. I didn't need to adjust a thing!
As I snuck my girlfriend down our staircase in preparation for the big surprise, Dani was behind the wall shooting the entire time while not giving herself away until the very last moment when I got down on 1 knee.
Dani took us around the property shortly after the big moment and suggested where we take additional shots. We received our photos in record time I am pleased that the photos came out no less than superb.
I highly suggest calling Dani if you want to work with a photographer who is amazing, informative, professional and, above all, is going to capture that perfect moment.
Thank you again Dani and I am very sure we will be seeing you soon!
Ally and Sean
P.S
Dani was able to work with me and plan everything out with only 4 days notice. Thank you for clearing your schedule!
Truly TOP NOTCH!!!
