Professional Lenses & Equipment

2009-07-11T18:22:00.002-04:00

Lorenzo Photography "Always Focusing On You"

One huge difference between a real pro and many others who say they are "photographers" is the quality of their equipment. Of utmost importance are the professional grade lenses that are of the highest quality. You can really see the difference between photos taken with "pro glass" as compared to "consumer priced lenses." The difference is very apparent when you enlarge photos as the cheap lenses used by many who say they are photographers will quickly show signs of image degradation, which does not occur with professional grade lenses.

This is the hard way to find out that someone you thought would provide high quality photos of your important day, actually provides blurry looking photos because they use cheap lenses. This is just another way - so called photographers - try to do weddings, especially for cheap prices because they purchase cheap equipment and have a digital camera, and all of a sudden they call themselves a photographer.

Call a trusted professional wedding photographer in Mentor, Ohio, to provide professional quality photos that will last and last.

Photogtraphers & Assistants

2009-07-09T21:10:00.002-04:00

Lorenzo Photography "Always Focusing On You"

A professional wedding photographer has an assistant for most weddings. An assistant is invaluable as they help with posing, making sure you look your best and often shoot photos different from those of the primary pro. This is a great asset when you hire a wedding photographer. So be sure to ask about a "skilled assistant" that is experienced and is also a good photographer to add a second dimension to your photos. Too many photographers are "one dimensional" they shot the same old posed photos all the time, with only one lens and you get boring old fashioned photos this way.

For new era modern professional wedding photography call Dominic Lorenzo 440-221-9175 a professional wedding photographer in Mentor, Ohio for photos that are anything but old fashioned & routine! Email Dominic at: Lorenzophoto@gmail.com

People & Cameras at Weddings

2009-07-07T19:59:00.003-04:00

Lorenzo Photography "Always Focusing On You"

People who are at weddings and bring cameras are always welcome. But there needs to be some courtesy for the professional photographer as well as the guests with cameras. I never care if someone uses their camera, as long as they do not get in the path I need to make sure I get the photos I need. Sometimes a guest gets overzealous and wants to stand where the pro does, to get the same shot etc. I always discuss this with my clients prior to the event to be sure there is an understanding of what a guest with a camera should and should not do so everyone can have a great time.

To discuss the important details of your upcoming event, call: Dominic Lorenzo of Lorenzo Photography @ 440-221-9175 or Email me: Lorenzophoto@gmail.com Dominic is a professional wedding photographer in Mentor, Ohio.

Planning Your Wedding Photography

2009-07-06T14:39:00.004-04:00

Lorenzo Photography "Always Focusing On You"
When you are discussing your wedding photography plans be sure you are dealing with a reputable photographer who knows the area so he/she can recommend some great photo locations. Many novice photographers do not have experience and have not done photos in many locations, therefore, they don't know the best places to go & what they are like. This is where an experienced professional wedding photographer in Cleveland Ohio like Dominic Lorenzo of Lorenzo Photography can be an invaluable resource. Be sure to consider this among other things like photo quality, equipment backup, the use of 2 photographers for better photos and how much you like his or her work. Be sure to view many photos from weddings, not just a few "good shots" you may be shown. A good pro is "good" from the first to the last photo of the night! For more details call: Dominic Lorenzo, Lorenzo Photography @ 440-221-9175 to discuss the details of your important day.

Black & White Photos. Unlike many photographers I still use film for most black & white photos. See my website: LORENZOPICS.COM for samples. Black & white film look is unique and cannot be duplicated so easily by shooting digital then converting a photo to black & white in post processing. There is a special look to black & white film that is apparent when you see a printed photo that digital just can't duplicate. For your special event call: Dominic Lorenzo, a professional wedding photographer in Mentor, Ohio @ (440) 221-9175 or Email: Lorenzophoto@gmail.com

Park Photos Are So Fun

2009-07-03T13:54:00.002-04:00

Lorenzo Photography "Always Focusing On You"

When it comes to photos at the park, I really enjoy myself. It gives a photographer a chance to be creative and stray from the posed photos. I always liked the non-posed more natural photos when the bride & groom & the wedding party are unwinding outside. These photos are always more natural looking & make for the best shots of the day!

If you like candid & photojournalism type of photos with a creative spin... The call LORENZO PHOTOGRAPHY (440) 221-9175 for a professional consultation about your special day.

What Kind of Camera is That?

2009-07-01T17:56:00.002-04:00

Lorenzo Photography "Always Focusing On You"

If I had a nickle for each time I was asked this! Well I am a Nikon guy, but there are many many good camera systems & manufacturers. You need to see what fits your needs, and what camera is really a comfortable fit in your hand matters as well. Remember - It's the photographer - not the camera in his/her hand that makes the difference when it comes to photography.

A funny story, a city has underground water leaks, after 2 days they can't stop it! They call a specialist, and in 5 minutes he takes a hammer bangs a pipe & WOW- no more leak. The next week the city gets a bill for$ 3,000. They complain - that's a lot of $$ for a 5 minute job - the specialist said well, $ 100. is for the time, the other $ 2,900. is for "knowing" where to hit the pipe to fix the leak!!

Candid & Spontaneous Photos

2009-06-30T17:35:00.000-04:00

Lorenzo Photography "Always Focusing On You"

If you like "candid & spontaneous" photos for your wedding event, than you came to the right photographer. LORENZO PHOTOGRAPHY does a limited amount of "posed photos" instead we concentrate on the more relaxed & natural candid style of photography.

This is the type of photography I specialize in the natural, fun & emotional expressions that will be seen in the photos I take for you.

The University Circle area of Cleveland, Ohio has a lot of nice places for wedding photos. One of my favorites is the Italian Cultural Gardens of Cleveland. It has beautiful curved stone steps, stone walls, and of course the fountain! It is a great photo location surrounded by nice grounds for some shade, some nice trees, and there's that great shot overlooking the brick patio from the balcony above. It is close to the freeway and easy to get to. There are a host of other cultural gardens there as well to suite the many ethnic origins that Cleveland is made up of.

For some Italian Cultural Garden photos see my website: LORENZOPICS.COM and enjoy the photos. Remember Dominic has worked in many locations such as: University Circle of Cleveland, Landerhaven weddings Executive Caterers, Lamalfa weddings in Mentor, Lavera Party Center, weddings at The Patrician, and many others.

Fall Weddings

2009-06-26T14:33:00.003-04:00

Lorenzo Photography "Always Focusing On You"

Weddings held in September & October can be some of the nicest events of the year. Weather conditions are often favorable - not too humid, not to cool but comfortable considering the dresses & tuxes that you will be dressed in. One of my nicest fall weddings was at The Holden Arboretum in Kirtland, Ohio in October. See The Ferrante wedding gallery on my website: LORENZOPICS.COM to view the photos. It was very picturesque and the weather was really nice so everyone was comfortable all day long. This made taking the photos on the grounds of the Arboretum a pleasure, as well as having Mike & Brenda to work with as they are easy going & fun & their photos reflect this. This is the type of wedding photography I really enjoy.

So if you are still in the planning stages of your wedding, consider a fall wedding as the weather and surroundings can really round out and make it an extra nice event!

Wedding Event Pricing

2009-06-24T22:54:00.002-04:00

Lorenzo Photography "Always Focusing On You"

There is a lot to consider when you look for a photographer for your special day. There are a lot of "so called" photographers out there who try to convince you they are a professional, and they undercut the market just to try & get the job. Things to be aware of before the to good to be true price comes along.

First, be sure to view "enlarged" photos of 8x10 size to truly judge photo quality
Remember anyone can make a photo look good on a website, it means very little.
Backup equipment: Many non- professionals don't have back equipment, so what happens if their flash stops working?
Insurance, does the photographer who gave you the "dream price" have insurance?
Do their poses look professional such as the formal photos? Many amateurs or inexperienced photographers lack the detail needed to professionally pose people and this can really cheapen the look of your photos.
Lens quality: Makes a huge difference in photo quality when you enlarge a photo. Do they have "pro grade" lenses, or do they use the consumer priced lenses? How many lenses do they have- will all your photos look the same because they only have one lens?
How many weddings have they done? Three or several hundred?
Don't trust the most important day in your life to a "wanna be photographer"

Give Dominic a call at: (440) 221-9175 and work with a skilled pro!

Planning the Pre-Ceremony Photography

2009-06-22T09:48:00.003-04:00

Lorenzo Photography "Always Focusing On You"
When you are planning to have photography before your wedding to get those cherished photos there are some important things you need to consider: First, be sure you arrive in plenty of time so you don't rush to get ready, (that is never fun) Secondly, be sure all the important people who you want in your photos are there on time. As for flowers, don't forget to have your florist deliver your flowers for the pre-ceremony photos as well. Check out the ceremony location ahead of time to be sure there are accommodations for you to get dressed and have pre-ceremony photos. Bring a portable fan as some venues do not have air, or if they do many dressing grooms become warm because of all the people inside them. Bring plenty to drink especially if it's a wedding during the warmer weather. Have a designated person for "touch ups" of your hair and makeup to be sure you will look your best the entire day! Allow some time before the ceremony starts to relax and get ready for your important day. I hope this information is helpful, and as always for questions call: DOMINIC LORENZO , LORENZO PHOTOGRAPHY 440-221-9175 OR EMAIL: LORENZOPHOTO@GMAIL.COM

Another Photo Tip

2009-06-17T22:49:00.000-04:00

Lorenzo Photography "Always Focusing On You"

When you are photographing a subject who is back lit by window light behind them, the proper way to expose for this would be to meter the outdoor light and use "fill flash" to fill the subject to balance the exposure. You need to experiment as it can be a little tricky to learn the correct amount of "fill" needed to balance the exposure properly.

Photography Event Tips

2009-06-16T20:32:00.001-04:00

When you are photographing any event you plan, be sure to do the following before you start:

Be sure you have enough batteries
Charge all batteries fully
Check your backup equipment cameras, flashes etc for proper operation
Have extra CF cards
Clean your lenses - check for smudges etc
Have a plan of what photos you want to capture
Be organized & be ready for that unexpected photo
Have fun!
