Create Wedding Photos for Your Future Pleasure.
As soon as they're engaged, many women think first about how to make their wedding social media worthy. Resist! The pressure is ridiculously great today to make yourself and your relationship look a certain way online.

Everyone you created the photos for will have moved on through countless weddings. Your wedding photos are for you, for the walls of your home, for your albums, for your children. Triumphs on social media are short-lived. With Daniel Photo Pro, our mission to be in the top 10 wedding photographers drives us to create photos that will bring tears to your eyes years from now. Keep it real.

First Dance...A Wedding Tradition that Seals the Union!
Everyone waits with anticipation at the wedding reception for the First Dance. It's a well-loved tradition, and also one that the bride and groom often do not look forward to! However, the First Dance is the spark that puts the sparkle in the union of two souls who have now become one. That's one reason everyone loves it. Even for those couples who aren't especially fond of traditions, the First Dance should not be missed. It's not just for you. Especially for older people, the First Dance brings back memories of happy times and the great loves of their lives. So dance with smiles on your faces and joy in your heart because it's a one-time dance and the camera is watching! In our quest to create the best wedding portrait photography, we've found that first dance photos can be transformed into truly memorable photos.

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.
