Revel in Romantic Red

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 on a background of white is an ideal color for a wedding as evidenced by these vibrantly alive pictures at the Italian Cultural Garden in Cleveland.

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 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. Do they look eye-catching or overdone and cluttered? Weddings are short, photos are forever!

Spectacular Photography under an Overcast Sky? Yes!

Sunsets do indeed make dreamy photography.  A sunny day can result in photos that convey a couple’s happiness. Surprisingly, great photography can happen under overcast, even turbulent skies.  Passion, strength and the power of love to last can be created under a stormy sky. Drama and contrast that show details often appear in photos shot outdoors on an overcast day.  So if your engagement session or wedding day is overcast or even rainy, don’t panic! Daniel excels at seeing a couple’s love deep within their souls regardless of the weather.

Why Great Photography Takes Time?

Why Great Photography Takes Time?

Although photography is one of the costs of the engagement and wedding experience, there is one aspect of photography that makes a huge difference. It’s not money, it’s TIME. It’s the willingness of the bride and groom to take the time to let the photographer creatively experiment in the present moment with all of the elements around them.  Light, shapes, angles, color, emotion, all of these and many more are part of the creative process in the photographer’s mind. He tries one thing and then sees something else that might add another dimension to the photo. That ability comes from having taken thousands of photos over his lifetime. Patience is rewarded with photos that bring tears to the eyes because they are so uniquely you and express what is so very meaningful to you.  When it’s time for photography, take lots of deep breaths and give yourself the gift of time. This is often why the very best photos are sometimes created during the engagement session and after the wedding.
