oops double post!

Ok so have gone through this whole thread again, great pics

Me and DF want to do another shoot and can't really narrow it down. We are not really keen on GF or BC as we find that they are not to our tastes (but don't take that the wrong way because the ones we have seen on here look great, they are just not for us).

We feel AKL doesn't have alot of locations and may not be interesting enough for us (again please don't take offense to my comments they are not directed at anyone who has done these shoots).

Last but not least is WL, I noted down someones post on locations and others shoots looked pretty good, but again does it have enough locations to make it fun?

We did a shoot at Poly last year and had so much fun, our PP photographer had alot of fun with us too and was fantastic (Shannon was her name). The locations we posed in were different each time and didn't look too same-y.

So would WL be a good location for us? We like natural shots, get involved with the PP photographer etc.

Thanx

Oops nearly forgot. I wanted to share some of our fav PS pics with you guys

We stayed at AKL last December and loved it. Not so sure that there would be a ton of places for photos those.

We opted to have pictures made at WL. The photographer was a grumpy old man who didn't want to honor the $25 coupon I had for the session. It took about 15 minutes (and several managers) to get that worked out. He turned into a grumpier old man after that. There were a lot of places to take pictures though....inside, out by the waterfalls, ,by the rocks and then on the beach. Some of them turned out GREAT!

Thanks for the response. We are staying at AKV for our upcoming trip and I have a toddler so I wanted to do the pictures there for convienence, however I was not crazy about the exterior photo's so I was hoping there were some nice interior locations....I guess it is just wishfull thinking.

Thanx for that, looks like AK is out for a shoot, as much as I love the look of the resort. I'm sorry your experience was bad

The WL shoot does sound good, but I don't know if I could put up with a grumpy photographer. I think I would have to request someone else if that happened because these pics are kinda once in a lifetime for me and DF, as we couldn't really have a fun photoshoot in the UK that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg.

Forgive me if this has been answered already...
My understanding is that if I pre-order the CD I will get one photo session for $70 and an additional time slot for $25, correct? Do these have to happen consecutively, or can I book an additional session at a different resort on a different day? Thanks in advance!

Just got back from the world yesterday and had a 5:30pm photo shoot at the Poly..... LOVED it! Got some great shots! Here's a few of my faves:

 

[matt&jakesmom]

Your pics are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I have pre-purchased the photo pass CD but there is no mention of getting the photo session for $70. Do I need a code or certificate or is it just an automatic thing that they do?

 

[Blaze12]

I think I am going to do this for our christmas trip. Any suggestions on which hotel has the most 'christmas' feel to it during december for the photos??? I did not really see any holiday ones.

Your pictures are AMAZING!! Thanks for sharing them!!

 

[Stefy]

Jenna you pics are lovely, I love the Sunset Point one, thank you for sharing Poly really is a fun place for this session isn't it

 

[Jenna319]

Awww thanks guys!! Ya I'm very satisfied with them.... in fact, I had originally purchased the $50 package before the shoot, and then after seeing the pics, changed my mind and did the $100 cd instead! It was just too hard to pick just a few! I wouldn't have even known about doing the resort photo shoot had it not been for the wonderful disboards!

 

[yrdlyprincess]

Jenna your pics r great, I was wondering about the Poly, we had them done @ GF b4, and love yours! I was thinking about what time to do & lighting...we will probably do 4pm-- we will be down in Nov.

 

[Jenna319]

We did the last session of the day, 5:30pm and it worked out perfect! It had started to rain a little beforehand and I was worried I'd have to cancel bc I wanted pics outside but the rain held off and the lighting was great! Have a great trip!

 

[RadioFanatic]

we're getting our pix at poly on sunday, 9/27 at 9:30 am. It will be interesting to see how it compares to our WL pix last year that we took at 4:30 pm.

 

[Blaze12]

Radiofanatic-

Let us know how it goes?? I am going to book, but I have to do morning, I hope the lighting is not too bad!

 

[RadioFanatic]

definitely! I actually picked morning based upon the recommendation of the poly photographer I made the appointment with.

 

[RadioFanatic]

Well, we did our photo shoot at 9:15 am yesterday. As I said, we picked am based on poly's recommendations. I'm not sure why he did though because for all the pix on the beach, the sun was in our eyes which made us squinty. And with the brutal heat, humidity and a 19 month old, it was a much tougher shoot this year than last year. We got some shots but not as many as I would have liked. I'll post some and compare between last year and this year when I get home. Also, don't be late to your shoot! They turned away a family reunion who was 20 minutes late to their shoot because they were so booked. Boy, was that a scene!
