Wedding Photo Pro Tip: Use Nature as Your Backdrop
Wedding Photo Pro Tip: Use Nature as Your Backdrop
Most couples when planning their wedding photography think of the venue and what the wedding party will be wearing. Little thought is given to the background, or backdrop as photographers call it. If you want photos that are different and extraordinary, think about the backdrop early in the process. In any season, even winter, there are places and spaces where nature can provide the beauty and drama that make photos memorable.
Mountains or even little hills, great glorious trees, water - whether in a great lake or a little pond - always adds depth and drama. Reflections in still water give a timeless effect to the photo. There is something compelling about the combination of primordial nature and the brand-new beginning of a marriage. It takes more time to plan and to execute photography that incorporates nature on a grander scale, but the resulting photos become art for the walls of the new home, not just photos in a book.

Yearning for a Traditional Wedding? Go For It!
Yearning for a Traditional Wedding? Go For It!
If you long for a traditional wedding, then create one! Disregard what magazines, friends or influencers say is “trending.” It’s your dream! The beauty of a traditional wedding is that it celebrates your religious or cultural background and provides a bridge to your future. Do what feels “right” to you and your betrothed. Don’t get caught up in the social media madness that everything in your wedding has to be curated. Weddings are all about creating new branches on a family tree. Be authentically you.

Be One with Your Wedding Bouquet
Be One with Your Wedding Bouquet
Most brides choose flowers that will go with their overall wedding theme. Weddings require so many flowers - for the bride and bridesmaids, the wedding venue, the reception, etc. Often the bridal bouquet is just a bigger version of the bridesmaids’ bouquets. We suggest an alternative! Coordinate the flowers all you want for the entire wedding, but customize the bridal bouquet so that it enhances you, the bride!
When you walk down the aisle, the first thing people see is the bouquet you’re carrying, followed by your smile, then your entire dress. The flowers you are carrying should complement your dress, your skin, and your hair. They will be part of your unique look both to the guests and especially in the wedding photos.
When you choose your dress, plan your bouquet too so that it blends beautifully with your radiance as a bride.

Show Who You Are Not Just What You Look Like
Show Who You Are, Not Just What You Look Like
Most graduating seniors focus on their appearance for their senior photos. The whole idea of senior photos is to preserve a record of who you were at this pivotal time in your life. It’s essentially the launch of the rest of your life as a grownup! What will matter, years from now, is the spirit and zest for life that you exemplified when you were a senior. That’s what will thrill you. How full of promise and potential you were as a vibrantly alive human being.
Work with a photographer who cares as much about who you are as what you look like. You’ll have photos to remind you to live up to your potential!

Does Your Photographer Thrill You?
Does Your Photographer Thrill You?
We often speak with couples trying to find the “right” photographer or one that “fits”.
Anyone can buy a bunch of equipment and become a wedding photographer, but that does not mean great photos. Excellent photography captures the emotion, color, spirit, and special moments of a wedding. It comes from the eye, experience and passion of the photographer. That’s what sets Daniel Photo Pro apart. Daniel loves and lives for photography.
That’s why we encourage and offer free engagement sessions. Daniel wants to see you through the lens of the camera. Some people always look good in photos, others need the photographer to discover how to capture their best look.
As far as the nuts and bolts go, we offer packages to meet the wide variety of needs and budgets, but it works best when we hear what you want so we can customize for you. In the end, it’s about the photos and whether or not they will thrill you. Ours will.
