Being from the UK, we thought it would be very difficult to arrange a photographer for our wedding given that we lived so far away. Claudia was suggested by our hotel wedding planner at the Azul Sensatori and came with the highest recommendation. We paid a small deposit and received confirmation that it would be Claudia who was to capture our wedding memories.

We chose to opt for the three hour package to allow some time before and after the ceremony for pictures. As planned, Claudia arrived a little over an hour before the ceremony was due to begin and took some shots of the bridal party getting ready. Then it was down to the beach for the service. Claudia and her colleague were there throughout the service and for about an hour and a half afterwards. Neither of us would confess to be models, but Claudia demonstrated how to stand and pose to get the best from our pictures. She made us feel at ease and at times during the ceremony, I forgot she was even there which allowed her to capture a great deal of emotion in the shots.

Upon her departure, Claudia advised that our pictures would be posted to an address of our choice by fexex in approx five weeks. At a little less than five weeks later Claudia emailed to say our pictures had been sent and provided a tracking number to enable us to see every part of the journey they took. On arrival we were delighted and a bit shocked at the amazing quality and variety of styles captured. We received a beautiful photo album with lots of 4x6 pictures, some printed 5x7 and 8x10 shots, and a CD (completed with printed label of us and the date of our wedding) with over 300 stunning photos for us to keep. This included various colour, black and white, action, still, traditional and contemporary styles to suit everyone.

Claudia was amazing and really captured our day with pictures words need not describe. I have already looked into making some pictures into large canvases for around the house, personalised thank you cards and a large photo book to cherish. The only problem is there are to many to choose from!

If you are in any doubt about booking Claudia for your special day then please dont be. I would book her again in a flash. Now all of our friends and family that were unable to make the day can re-live it with us.
