A Story with Andre Agassi at the St. Regis Punta Mita Resort

Andre Agassi needs no introduction. The American tennis player reached the world No 1 ranking, won an Olympic gold medal, and was at the top for more than 20 years. He won eight Grand Slams and was the first to win all four Grand Slam tournaments. So we couldn’t miss the opportunity to document his visit to the St. Regis Punta Mita Resort.

Open: An Autobiography by Andre Agassi

We often forget that a celebrity is also a human being, with a personal life beyond outstanding performance. Books like the autobiography signed by Andre Agassi remind us of the struggle and hard work behind every champion. Yes, it’s fantastic to be world No 1 at the age of 22 but the path to success isn’t easy and comes with a price.

Open: An Autobiography is a bestseller. Written with honesty, the autobiography shows the heaviness of fame, the impact of success on personal relationships, and how getting involved in philanthropy work can change a life. Andre Agassi found his balance doing good for others. To have his book signed at the St. Regis Punta Mita Resort was an honor.

Playing tennis with a champion

In his visit to the St. Regis Punta Mita Resort, Andre Agassi made time to play with his fans. They’ll always remember the game with a champion, his advice, and his kindness. Cheered and photographed, Andre Agassi shared his experience with tennis enthusiasts, creating precious memories and maybe helping future champions.

Meeting a champion is an amazing experience that drives you to work harder, find balance, and fulfill your dreams. Getting to know Andre Agassi at the St. Regis Punta Mita Resort and reading his autobiography made us better understand sports, fame, and life.

Meet the Wirikuta dancers in Los Cabos

Los Cabos isn’t just a place for sunbathing, water sports, and relaxation. It has a rich cultural heritage and is proud to show you its Mexican roots. In Los Cabos, you’ll learn about traditions, beliefs, and legends. You’ll listen to stories about heroes and how to talk with spirits. Powerful spirituality is narrated with every song and dance.

The history of Wirikuta

Wirikuta is a sacred site and pilgrimage place in the mountains of Central Mexico. Huichol Indians do a sacred journey every year, covering over 250 miles and collecting peyote (a kind of cactus) along the way. They believe this ritual allows them to speak with their ancestors and gods. It’s a ritual that brings together families and communities, enhancing cultural values and helping people find strength and meaning. Wirikuta is a Natural Sacred Area protected by UNESCO.

Tradition and magic in the Wirikuta dance

Wirikuta dance is the ancestral dance of the Huichol people. Dancers paint their faces and wear colorful costumes. They look like fairytale characters and move like spirits. In their choreography, you’ll find acrobatic moves, full of grace and energy. Wirikuta dancers are much more than performing artists. They represent spirituality, traditions, and beliefs. They tell stories from ancient times and transport them into our times with dedication and passion.

Where to find Wirikuta dancers in Los Cabos

Puerto Los Cabos, San Jose del Cabo, is the best place to see Wirikuta dancers. It hosts a nighttime show, full of color and symbols, music, dance, and amazing artists. This is a complete experience, both mystical and entertaining, mixing old and new elements, and displaying a spectacular performance.

The best part of traveling is seeing new places and discovering different cultures. They’re authentic experiences that broaden your horizon and make you wiser. Be respectful even when you don’t agree with local beliefs. You aren’t there to judge but to learn. Life is a continuous process of learning and growth.

Discover the Mexican Flavor of Los Cabos

Los Cabos has a lot to offer to any tourist eager to discover a land of contradictions, fun, and traditions. From breathtaking beaches to the busiest destination for private aviation, from serene deserts and mountains to the place with the most chances to spot George Clooney, Los Cabos has all you desire.

But all this package of beautiful landscape, diverse ecosystem, celebrities, and famous vacation destination comes with an authentic Mexican flavor. Name it Land’s End, the tip of the southern Baja California Península, or Los Cabos the place is full of traditions, music, and culinary delights.

Mexican cuisine is at home in Los Cabos

Mexican cuisine is famous all around the world but here you can find its most authentic flavors. Local ingredients such as corn, potatoes, beans, avocados, tomatoes, agave, cacao, cactus, and chili pepper are the stars of this exquisite show of aromas and colors.

From homemade slow-cooked meals to street food, Mexican cuisine is diverse, rich, and spicy. Don’t miss the famous tacos, quesadillas, and tamales but also the least known barbacoa carnitas and chiles en nogada. Watch out for sauces and salsas as jalapeño pepper is often one of the ingredients. If you want something to put out the fire, try champurrado (a chocolate-based drink) and not the tasty Mexican wine. Leave the wine for romantic evenings and special events.

Embrace the Mexican tradition of music, dance, and crafts

Mexican music is passionate, dramatic, and melancholic. The songs are about love, freedom, country, or legends. We all heard about Mariachi music, usually played at weddings and parties. But you should also discover the Ranchera music, closer to traditional folklore, and the Norteño music, with its accordion and bajo sexto.

In terms of dance, Mexico is a colorful and rich destination. From the Danza de los Viejitos (Dance of the Little Old Men) to traditional dances performed at specific holidays, Mexican dances display exquisite costumes and masks. Similar to music, every dance has a story and a deep meaning.

Mexico is also renowned for its amazing handmade products including ceramics, textiles, masks, and dolls. Emerge into a complex fantasy of fairies, stories, legends, heroes, spirits, and more.

Let’s start the fiesta!

The list of traditional Mexican flavors wouldn’t be complete without a fiesta. A fiesta is a holiday or a festival that includes a party. Decorated streets and houses, traditional music and food, and many joyful people ready to celebrate are the main ingredients of a fiesta. Los Cabos has its own festivals and events that end with memorable parties. And if you’ve never enjoyed a piñata, here is the place to try this new experience.

Los Cabos didn’t forget the Mexican flavors that made it a popular destination. Traditional food is present almost in any restaurant, traditional music is the local entertainment, and reasons for a fiesta are found really quickly. Discover a unique atmosphere and have an authentic cultural experience in Los Cabos, Mexico.

Tips for Party Pictures to Last a Lifetime

Studio Eminence is always happy to be part of your memories. Whether you plan an anniversary, a birthday party, or the craziest thematic party ever, we capture all the details in great images that will last a lifetime. Each party has its story. It may be romantic, fun, elegant, touching, eccentric, or all of them. Either way, it’s timeless and so should be your pictures. Here’re the best tips for outstanding party photo albums.

Take pictures before the party

Follow the entire narrative of the party starting with preparations, table arrangements, and décor and ending with the cake. These details are important because they add to the party’s charm and give you feedback for future events. Besides, you’ve invested so much energy and love in every one of them that they deserve a place in your photo album.

Individual portraits and environmental shots

You have a party for a specific occasion and party pictures should capture the entire atmosphere. Each participant will want to be found in the album. An experienced photographer will capture candid shots and individual portraits as well as group photos and the general mood. You may have props, a photo boot, or dedicated places for group photos. There are many elements you can play with to create a special and unique party.

Capture the sparkle

Each party has its highlights. Fireworks, singing moments, cake arrival, or invited artists are just some of them. The party photo album needs to include all these moments and they can be a handful for an amateur photographer. To make sure you’ll have sharp clear photos in low light conditions, book a professional photographer. Discuss with the photographer before the event and mention all the special moments of the night.

Take pictures after the party

Maybe the juiciest moments of an event are in the after-party pictures. New friendships, old friendships, sunrise hopes and promises, and the memory of a great moment spent together create a nostalgic and touching mood. These morning pictures will warm your heart and strengthen your bonds. It’s the perfect time to gather the entire party for a group picture.

Party pictures are fun and emotional. You’ll never get a second chance to celebrate the first or the 50th anniversary of your marriage, your 18th birthday, or the first summer holiday spent with your friends. Each moment is unique but we can always recall it by looking at old pictures.

How to Plan the Perfect Marriage Proposal

The history of marriage proposals is long and complicated. Today we don’t have rules and social standards anymore and we’re free to propose any way we like. But this adds the fear that we’ll ruin the special moment by bad timing and insufficient planning. The truth is that a marriage proposal is a failure only when your partner says no. Otherwise, as clumsy and emotional it might be it’s a story to tell your grandchildren. Here are some ideas to help you plan the perfect marriage proposal.

Keep it a surprise or not

Some people like to be surprised and some don’t. If your partner is a romantic and dreams at a fairytale proposal, you may want to consider planning a big and glamorous surprise. But if you enjoy more intimate moments, open talks, and serene atmosphere, you may want to create just that and skip kneeling, rose petals, and Mariachi. Despite what you see in movies and read in novel, we’re different people with different tastes. Choose what suits you and your partner and forget about anything else. The right way to do it is your way.

Choose a beautiful location

A beautiful location improves the quality of the moment. It may be a new location, you’ve always wanted to visit together, or it may be your favorite holiday destination or weekend getaway. Location builds a strong narrative as it adds stories and creates atmosphere. For example, you’ll always remember the place where you first met, the destination of the first holiday, and the place where you celebrated the first anniversary. You’ll definitely remember the place where you proposed, so choose a good one!

Book a professional photographer

A professional photographer provides high-quality pictures and videos that will help you relive this moment. You can share them with friends and family. Whether you choose to be a surprise or not, a professional photo session completes the experience and captures your love and emotions. It can happen on a secluded beach or in a luxury resort, over a glass of champagne or in the sunset light. It’s a unique moment and you deserve to be in the spotlight.

If you plan a big surprise proposal, the photographer can help with planning and details. Then they’ll hide quietly so that your partner doesn’t suspect a thing.

A marriage proposal shouldn’t be hard work as you do it for the love of your life. But it can be stressful and emotional and sometimes it’s better to ask for professional help. Studio Eminence is always happy to be part of your big moment and share with you this amazing memory.

Experience Happiness with a Sportive Photo Session

Not all professional photo sessions are family portraits, romantic sunsets, and marriage proposals. Although these moments bring us happiness and create unforgettable memories, some people choose to reach happiness by stimulating endorphins production in other way, a sportive way.

Sport shouldn’t be only a holiday activity but a way of life. It’s healthy, fun, and social. It keeps us fit and happy. There’re so many different sports that you can’t complain there isn’t one right for you. And what better way to remember a vacation than to try a new sport? Choose one that matches your fitness level and let a professional photographer capture the moment.

At the beautiful locations where Studio Em is present water sports are at home. You can choose from a wide range of activities and have a wonderful time with your family, friends, or by yourself. Sport activities connect you with the environment and with other people. By the end of the day you’ll be happier, healthier, tanned, and ready for the next adventure.

Sportive photo sessions for low fitness levels

If sport is a rather rare activity in your agenda, try something gentler with your muscles and joints. Snorkeling is perfect to explore the beauty of the nature and spend a day with a new activity. You can also try swimming, beach volley, or aqua gym. These mild activities will get you in shape without injuries. In addition, they are social activities and you’ll definitely have fun.

Sportive photo sessions for medium fitness levels

If gym is not a stranger to you, an outdoor activity will boost your energy and endorphins levels. Try beach jogging in the morning or doing your daily yoga routine on the beach. Connect with nature and fill your lungs with salty air. It will be quite a change from your usually indoor activities. You can also try SUP, kayaking, and scuba diving.

Sportive photo sessions for advanced fitness levels

You may think sport enthusiasts can’t find anything new and exciting, but it isn’t true. Studio Em’s photographers can capture a surfing adventure or an outstanding SUP yoga performance. They can follow you in a sailing expedition. They definitely can capture how much you enjoy the sun and the sea.

A sportive photo session is a double win. You’ll enjoy a fun activity, make new friends, and discover a splendid holiday location. In the same time, you’ll have gorgeous pictures to remember your adventures. Besides, everybody looks good tanned, happy, and enjoying life.
