Photographer Review: Michael Steingard 06.09.09 Majestic Elegance, Dominican Republic

 

I am posting this review in the Dominican Republic thread because Michael goes to the Dominican, specifically the Majestic Resorts, quite frequently. I could not find another thread that was more appropriate. Sorry if it is in the wrong place.

 

We were very pleased with the work that Michael did for us. He is very a professional, friendly, outgoing guy that has a passion for photography and it shows. Although we did not give him too much direction with what kind of pictures we were looking for, he delivered exactly what we wanted (candid photos as well as posing type photos). He organized a plan for the entire day (i.e., who would meet where and at what time), which was described to our friends and family. As he has a lot of experience doing weddings at the Majestic Resorts, he knows how things are run, therefore the plan ran very smoothly. In addition, he knows all of the best areas around the resort to take photos. This is beneficial because less time is spent finding photo shoot locations and more time is devoted to taking photos.

We feel that the pictures of the day (especially during dinner) fully capture the sequence of events and emotions felt during the day. As we did not have a video taken on our wedding day we are truly appreciative of these pictures.

 

Michael also took great care in getting to know our family and friends. We were impressed with how he took the time to learn everyone’s names. He came out to dinner with us every night; it was such a joy to have him around. Our entire wedding group was very impressed with him (including my father in law who was very sceptical about hiring a photographer- he now understands why we did).

 

As we were the only wedding he was doing the whole week he also did an extra photo shoot at no extra charge. He did a group photo shoot of our whole wedding group in the ocean. That was soo nice of him to do as it was not part of our agreement whatsoever. He also spent the WHOLE day with our wedding party, from getting ready in the morning to the disco at night- he photographed everything. We really appreciate that he came out to the disco with us (I’m sure he was getting tired by then) as we love to dance! These photos turned out fantastic!

 

Here is the link to all of the photos he took:

When you see them I am positive that you will agree that Michael Steingard is a fabulous photographer and we would highly recommend him.

 

Thanks Michael!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
