“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” — Aaron Siskind
On World Photography Day today (August 19), we spent some time going through the stunning pictures taken by our clients as they enjoyed the surprise trips we had planned for them! In some photos we saw the sheer joy radiating from their happy faces as they experienced a new place. In other pictures, we witnessed the absolute beauty of the countries they visited. Those pictures truly spoke louder than a thousand words, as they revealed so many emotions and stories, leaving us content and reassured that we have been doing something right!
We’ve handpicked and shared with you some lovely pictures shared by our happy clients – some were newly married couples on their honeymoon, some were families bonding together on a holiday, or a father and son who took time off to reconnect while some were couples celebrating their love or milestone anniversaries! Every photograph is special to us, because it symbolizes a memory that got created because we customized a holiday according to a client’s passions and values.
