A growing number of hotels and resorts are offering sessions with photographers to chronicle guests' vacations. Travelers want to record memorable moments without ruining them stressing about focus and flash. They want more sophisticated shots to share on social media. And vacationers realize that an iPhone may not catch that perfect surfing or skiing triumph.
In May, Jumby Bay, a Rosewood Resort in Antigua in the Caribbean began offering a "Together Package" for couples that includes a two-hour shoot with a professional photographer. Earlier this year, the Sanderling Resort & Spa in Duck, N.C., launched an "Everlasting Memories" package with a family photo shoot and a YouTube video of the session (a disc of images is guaranteed within a week).
