“We had a wonderful time. As a couple it is difficult to take pictures together when we travel other than selfies. It was a fun experience and our photographer Michael was so patient and friendly. We were in Carnival costume so was stopped every few minutes by other tourists wanting to take our picture. He patiently waited as we were celebrities for a few minutes. The gondola ride was so amazing. I can’t hardly wait to see the pictures.”

Marco came prepared as my returned tripod was not available so we used his Fotopod miniature tripod which with my DSLR Canon camera. He taught me how to take night time photos in Manual verse AV and how to set my camera's timer in coordination with my Manual settings to achieve some spectacular nighttime photos.
