Location Spotlight: Renaissance Cleveland Hotel
Do you yearn for a touch of drama in your wedding photos? Some brides yearn only for tradition, some want a style that's hot today, and some brides want a bit of dramatic flair in their wedding experience. Drama, done well, creates emotion in a photograph. It is evocative of memories of dramatic experiences in one's past like unforgettable sunsets or first kisses. Knowing in advance whether or not you and your betrothed want drama in your photos, helps you narrow down the choices for your venue or at least places to do the photo shoot.
The Renaissance Cleveland Hotel downtown is an example of a place that offers architectural elements that make dramatic backgrounds for wedding photos. Any venue with a grand staircase is ideal for brides because long wedding dresses look so elegant when the fullness of the dress can be used. Black and white photos also add depth and drama to the scene. Another way to create drama, if architectural elements are unavailable, is to use creative staging and lighting in a single element such as the shoes below. Dramatic photos have a timelessness to them. Take a look at our website and you'll see several examples of drama.

Showcasing Your Tattoos in Your Cleveland Wedding Photos
A tattoo is a different kind of lifemate. It will always be with you like the person you are marrying. Your tattoo was chosen to express to the world for all time, an idea that is deeply meaningful to you. It may be as important as hair and makeup in your wedding planning. If you want your tattoo to show prominently in your wedding photos, choose a dress that works with it. Your tattoo can add beautifully to your wedding attire.
The importance of your tattoos to your wedding photography
Your tattoos are self-expression, and they have to be visible. They help your photos to be real and reveal your personality without you uttering anything. It can be a sleeve, a small symbol, or even matching tattoos with your partner, every piece will bring meaning to your pictures. In some cases couples fear that their tattoos will appear too extreme in a formal portrait, however when photographed with the correct angle and lighting they actually make your wedding photos to be unique.
An experienced photographer such as Daniel Photo Pro, a trusted engagement photographer Cleveland couples often choose, knows exactly how to highlight your tattoos without taking away from the love and connection in the moment.
Wearing Clothes That Show off Your Tattoos
The way your tattoos look in your photos is heavily dependent on the type of clothing you wear. Outfits with low backs, shorter sleeves, or open necklines are very effective in case you want them to be seen clearly. Even the smallest tattoos may appear impressive when put in the right perspective. There are couples who dress according to the style of their ink and there are those who dress in a more soft manner allowing the tattoos to provide contrast. Your wedding day outfit must be comfortable and reflect your style and it must be able to make you display the aspects of your tattoos that you like best.
Hiring Your Photographer to Capture Your Story
The communication with your photographer is good and can lead to natural and meaningful results. Instruct your photographer on the most significant tattoos to you and how you would wish them to be. You can also think out some poses that will bring your tattoo into the limelight, holding hands, touching your shoulder, or hugging your partner in a manner that will expose the design. These scenes appear quite authentic and contribute to the narration of the story of your ink.
Whether it’s during your wedding day or an engagement session Cleveland couples often use to express their personalities, clear communication helps the photographer understand the meaning behind your tattoos. Once your photographer knows the story behind your tattoos, they will be able to make wedding photographs that are personal, emotional and enduring.
Revel in Red for a Romantic Wedding
Revel in Red for a Romantic Wedding
Red is the color of romance, love, and passion! Throughout history, it has been associated with fire, longing, energy, sexuality, and joy - the intense emotions in life. So red, interspersed with white and gold, is an ideal color palette for a wedding. Red also symbolizes courage and strength, two traits needed for a long and meaningful marriage.
“Even a touch of red in a photograph, pulls the viewer in to look more deeply at the image,” explains wedding photographer Daniel Ivan.
Color, shape, and symmetry are all important in creating images that are unique and compelling. As you create the decorative elements for your wedding, take the time to look with a critical eye at your creations and imagine what they’ll look like in a photo.
Weddings are short, photos are forever!

The Wedding Dress Train...Essence of Elegance
The Wedding Dress Train...Essence of Elegance
Why is it that the train of a wedding dress makes such a statement? Why does it add elegance to even a simple dress? In part, it's because of a very long and dramatic history. In medieval times when it began, the wedding dress train was an indication of wealth and power. In modern times, it's not so much about wealth; it's more about style, elegance, and a strong sense of self. All brides want all eyes on them when they walk down the aisle, but one dragging a ten-foot train is really making an impact! A wedding dress with a train also adds a variety of elements to the wedding photography.
On the most memorable day of your life so far...TAKE THE TRAIN!
