“What an experience! I chose the photo shoot outing as I had bought a dress with no reason to wear it and thought this would be the perfect excuse! It happened to be about the second coldest day of the year, but Dimitri didn’t let that hold him back for the experience. He was very helpful providing visuals of poses he suggested and being patient with us to get there. Overall I’m extremely satisfied with the whole experience and would highly recommend it!”
