Photographers are not vampires, we reflect too!

Yes, photographers reflect from certain surfaces :) and we love it!!!

Sometimes reflections can be annoying and not artistic. But creativity and good-quality photos depend on the photographer being able to see things differently may turn the regular picture into an artistic one.

Water, windows, mirrors or any sort of reflective surface can change an image into a work of art. Using reflections in photography can lead to some amazing effects and beautiful images.  I have a constant craving for reflections.

Have a fun week!

Life of a Wedding Photographer for destination weddings.

Today is one of those days that I'm ready to take a good long vacation.

Most of my friends think that my life is already a good long vacation as a wedding photographer.

I have to admit that they might be right.

Imagine that you have to travel to the most amazing locations for work.

There is not much of a complaint on my end.

The recent destination wedding booking by Eleven Hearts Studios in Cancun, Mexico at Le Blanc resort is a simple proof of that.

I made a small list for my brides to consider for their big day if they are planning to have it abroad. 

• plan ahead
• pick a date while considering the national holidays
• make your guest list in advance
• reserve a resort which is big enough to accomodate your guests.
• choose practical location that doesn't have to be to expensive for your guests
• keep it simple
• check the seasonal changes of weather, make plans accordingly. 
• make sure that there won't be any local festival or gathering at the time of your wedding. 
• Hire a local wedding planner who knows the area and vendors really well.

Henna, weddings and Turkish Coffee.

Turkish weddings are my favorite. There are so many gorgeous details, it's like the henna on the brides hand.

Tracy Mitnick + Ross Levitt | Baltimore

I shot this wedding as an assistant of a great photographer and good friend of mine Cliff Mautner at Radisson Plaza Lord Baltimore. That was such an honor to be around and to see a pro like Cliff at work. He had to deal with difficult light situations all day. At one point he shot the formal portrait session against a huge mirror which is usually a very laborious job because of the reflection. After I got back from the wedding I felt like I attended a really good workshop. Learned so much as usual by just being around him. He is the Light Master.

Can't wait to work together again.
