Romero Britto said that “Art is too important not to share,” and we couldn’t agree more. Art brings color, dynamic details and iconic imagery to an otherwise regular (dare we say boring) landscape. This kind of creativity, seen in city murals and public works of art, adds to the beauty of wedding and engagement photos. We love how art adds a soulful dimension to photos as well as playfulness. The perfect balancing act!

Whether indoor or outdoor, colors have a way of splashing joy and positivity within you. They add a cheerful feel to any setting. A wondrous piece of work, telling its tale of artistic aspirations, impactful concepts and intriguing shapes, all with a striking color palette, is what’s so great about art and self-expression. So what better way to bring out your personality in your wedding and engagement photos than by a colorful artistic illustration?

That’s why we’ve put together a list of some truly fabulous murals and public artworks to take your photography a step further.
