Why Create a Photo Album in These Days of Phone Cameras?
Why Create a Photo Album in These Days of Phone Cameras?
The hundreds of photos that people take of their children, crowding their phones with documentation of every event, has made the old-fashioned idea of a simple photo album more precious. Imagine that you’re a young adult and you want to look back over your childhood days. Either you scroll through hundreds of photos with none more important than another, or you hold a book in your hand with carefully selected photos that capture the spirit of your childhood without the sheer volume of photos. It’s the difference between looking at a mountain of trees of every kind, versus a singular tree in all its beauty. Phone cameras are a blessing, but curated photo albums that you can hold in your hand, allowing you to take your time thinking about each picture, are more meaningful.
Yes, photo albums take a little time and cost a little money, but they last for decades. Your photos on your phone may or may not last. Everything in technology is subject either to loss or inaccessibility. So this Christmas take a little time to select a handful of photos that are truly special and preserve them in a small album. You’ll be surprised at the wonderful gift you create.

What Does Love Really Mean to You?
What Does Love Really Mean to You?
Why we love is such a mystery! Especially when it comes to the one we have already married or are engaged to be married. Why one person and not another who might be very much like the one we love? Why is the one we fall in love with often very different from the one our family and friends feel suits us? What is it about the one we love that makes our heart lift a little when we walk into a crowded room and see him or her? Falling in love can happen in an instant or take a long time to percolate. Regardless, most people find themselves at some time in their life “falling in love” in a way that is almost unstoppable.
It is the Christmas season, a time when we think more of the ones we love and how we might communicate or show them our love. It’s a good practice to pause and think about why you love your fiancé or wife or husband. It’s also a good time to think about all whom you truly love whether a child, friend, parent, or grandparent. Christmas is a time for sharing. Please tell us in a few words or sentences why you love someone deeply. You need not share who it is if you don’t want to. It will be enriching for all who see this post to see what being in love means to others. It can be difficult to put feelings into words but just try. You’ll probably be surprised how good it makes you feel.

Will You Remember Every Moment of Your Wedding Day?
Will You Remember Every Moment of Your Wedding Day?
Science has proven that memories are interwoven with emotion. You are likely to remember the “wow” moments of your wedding day – taking your father’s hand, walking down the aisle, the “I do” words, the kiss, your entrance into the reception, the first dance, etc. There are, however, many little experiences and scenes of your wedding day that don’t feel important at the time, but later on, when you see the pictures, the meaningfulness of the moment comes back to you. In relationships with family and beloved friends that are part of your wedding day, the individual moments are sometimes far more special than the major events of the day.
At Daniel Photo Pro, we know that little moments mean a lot. There are pictures a photographer takes that are un-posed and unexpected that add a wealth of emotion and meaning to the wedding day long after it’s over. Those are the photos that capture the elusive ideas of love, friendship, pride, and joy. Let your photographer be there for everything and you’ll be surprised by the photos that become your favorites.

How to have a Purple Wedding!
How to have a Purple Wedding!
Purple is a color that invokes mystery and magic. People either love it or prefer to live without it. If you love purple and are planning a wedding, marry the two together and create a Purple Wedding! Purple is so interesting because it combines the calm of blue with the fire of red. That’s often a combination of couples too – one is calm and quiet and the other is energetic. Purple also reminds people of opulence, creativity, wisdom, grandeur, and an independent spirit. Purple makes a good thematic element for a wedding because the color is so alive and vibrant. Guests will feel the energy and possibilities of magical purple. If you’re a purple person and your beloved is one too or is okay with making purple your theme color…go for it!

Food, Drinking & Dancing Go Together in a Wedding!
Food, Drinking & Dancing Go Together in a Wedding!
If the celebration of your brand new marriage is going to go on late into the evening, remember that you must plan to feed your guests over time! The cake and pastries are important for the theme and beauty of the event (and for the photography), but partying guests need real food to sustain them. Providing food in plenty also cuts down on the alcohol costs. The more people drink without food in their stomachs, the drunker they get, and the more they drink! If you’re having a reception without a full meal, at least have plenty of healthy snacks trays so that guests can stay full as they drink and dance the night away.
Food trays that include protein, sweet potatoes, salmon, avocado, berries, oats, and even bananas are good to eat before or during drinking. Do a little research so that you balance creative snacks or theme foods, with foods that are best for eating along with drinking. Be careful of overly salty snacks. It’s very important for people to stay hydrated while drinking alcohol so be sure to have water readily available. Keep those water pitchers full!
And brides…don’t forget to eat! If you’re too excited to eat a meal or worried you won’t fit in your dress, plan ahead for some healthy nourishment during the long day. You want to end the wedding still looking radiant from love, not alcohol!
