Family Photos on Castaway Cay?

[disneydreamer94]

Are there photographers on Castaway Cay to take family portraits? Not just candid photos with characters and swimming. I am thinking of a photo with the family in white shirts and khaki shorts with the blue ocean in the backround. Is there a spot on the island where a photographer takes a photo such as this? If not, maybe DCL can hire me...

Hi! When we were there a couple weeks ago, there were no photographers doing anything like that....we did have a family photo taken with the ship in the background,(which turned out nice!) but other than that,I am pretty sure it's just character and swimming photos.

Had that exact photo taken on CC in 2004 (white T's, khaki shorts, ocean in the background). It's still my favorite family photo. The photographer couldn't take a lot of time to set it up like a portrait photographer would, so I had to be very quick about setting it up myself. I do remember having to ask a photographer to come with me to where I wanted the shot. (I asked one of the "wandering" photographers, not one that was in a specific photo spot.) Things may be different now; it seems that would be a great place to do something a bit more formal. We'll be back on CC in 2011 and can't wait to get another one just like it. Have fun!!

Thanks for the reply! One more question... were you able to find a spot to take the photo without other people in the backround? I would love to know (for future reference) where the spot is...

There is a nice spot near the Head's Up Bar with the ship in the background but depending on what time of day it is the sun could be factor ( sun facing the photographer). I have seen pics that there were taken over in that general area and I think you can some shots without people....unless they are far out in the water.
