Andrew Zinn – FantaSea Event Manager & Professional Photographer

On April 22, 1998 we received a resume from Andrew Zinn responding to our Event Manager opening and he has been a part of the FantaSea Family ever since.

In Andrews’ 10+ years with FantaSea we have watched him oversee many an event on a large scale, he is primarily scheduled aboard events on the FantaSea One, due to the extensive staff and managerial production required.  We’ve been honored to witness his wedding reception held aboard our Luxury Yacht RegentSea – have two beautiful children and transition from Event Manager to Professional Photographer and Event Manager Extraordinaire.

Andrew has an eye for excellence and his photos – whether a family portrait or a yacht wedding – he will capture every emotion you are feeling at that moment.

Fortunate for all who use his services, he truly has the experience aboard yachts to capture breath taking sunset moments and stolen kisses.  He is not just a photographer; he is an artist whose energy and motivation is contagious.

This trait was most apparent to us over the years watching the attention to detail for thousands of events that ran under the direction of Andrew as the Event Manager.

In which ever capacity you have the opportunity, you are sure to experience the best of customer service and polish with a young energy and experienced talent.

Just when we found the time to celebrate the most talked about nuptials this side of the Thames River….it ended.

We truly love our jobs and this is a little inside scoop to show you how much…oh yes…a little late to the party but we threw an intimate black & white wedding themed party to watch Kim K’s nuptials to NBA player Kris Humphries. Operations Assistant Leslie Fernandez dressed the part of Kris Jenner, General Manager Jasmine Lee was Kim K and the other ladies were dressed up as bridesmaids but with wedding veils and ring pop engagement rings.

The menu was fit for our faux wedding too… Although we don’t recommend red wine around brides…our Kim K prefers pinot noir so that was the drink of choice ☺ The evening started off with some of our favorite FantaSea hors d’oeuvres, (tomato basil bruschetta, brie & pear quesadilla, coconut shrimp and Jamaican jerk chicken skewers. We gave Chef Eddie a break on his busy day and ordered pasta for dinner and finished off the evening with Shari’s Berry’s and a “wedding” cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes. The sweets have become a favorite amongst the office staff after having received them as post wedding day thank-you’s from clients.

In the end, we acknowledge that not all marriages last, that you can change your mind and that everyday is a learning experience.  Of course, if there is anything to be learned from this, it’s that we all need a little room to be imperfect and accept the fact that we are. I too had a “starter marriage”.

We still live and breathe the “there is someone for everyone” dream and wish both Kim and Kris the very best, now on separate paths. Let’s face it…these things can happen.

When Olga planned a trip to visit all of California, she never expected her trip to end at her first stop… that’s exactly what happened when she met Dave, now her husband, in Los Angeles.

After googling which hand to put her engagement ring on, Dave presented Olga with his grandmothers ring, a 175 year old family heirloom they will one day pass onto their son or daughter.

To say it was love at first sight for these lovebirds is an understatement; when they read their vows aboard the luxury yacht Dandeana June 10th, the room was overtaken by their undeniable admiration for each other.

Thank you Olga & Dave for choosing FantaSea Yachts as your trusted wedding venue, we are blessed everyday to be surrounded by couples in love, and you are certainly a couple who tops the love meter.
