Nontraditional Wedding Photos

Every engaged couple wants their wedding photos to be truly memorable. They interview photographers, scour wedding magazines, and spend time and money to look their absolute best for the big day. The bottom line? They want more.
     “Couples are looking for exclusivity in their photography,” says Molly Michel of Mthree Studio in Milwaukee. “They want to commission an artist and get a unique interpretation of their day. They want someone who can create moments, looks, feelings, and art about their life.”
     A new wave of wedding photography trends is making it even easier to ensure one-of-a-kind photos for every couple. Photographic effects, coordinated pre- and post-wedding photo shoots, as well as photobooths and video, are growing more popular in Wisconsin. Local photographers are taking note.
     “Good photography artists are always expanding the way they see, using fashion, location, and design as inspirations for pictures,” says photographer Ari Rosenthal, based in Shorewood.
     “Ultimately, good photography starts with hiring a photographer who knows how to create good exposures without enhancements. Adding textures and other treatments should bring artistic value to an image, not cover up flawed technique.”
