When deciding on a wedding photographer, it can be important to determine what you want. There are different types of photography – some like the posed or staged shots – say the bride and groom standing in front of the church looking directly into the camera – while others prefer editorial or photojournalistic style photography. Editorial photos are generally taken from the background; they are taken to tell a story, to capture moments of raw emotion. While this doesn’t mean you can’t have your picture taken in front of your favorite view of the Milwaukee downtown skyline, you ultimately want to hire a photographer based on their skills that will give you the end result you are looking for in your wedding photos.

A Photo Booth for Your Milwaukee Wedding – Yes Please!
By · 1 Comment
I am a huge fan of photo booths at weddings. I think this is the one of the funnest and most interactive wedding favors you can give your guests. What is more personalized than a photo of yourself to take home? Plus the bride and groom get a keepsake memory book out of the deal. Now that the trend is here to stay, the question becomes how do you choose a vendor to go with? Our friends Jordan and Todd at PhotoBooth4U had some insight.

To DJ or Not to DJ – That is the Question
By · 1 Comment
When sitting down with a friend over lunch the other day, she asked the question: “Does anybody even use a DJ for weddings anymore?” I hadn’t really even thought about it as I used a DJ for my own wedding and didn’t really consider not having one or other options. To figure out why a couple should hire a DJ, Ramsey Renno, owner of Milwaukee Airwaves, had some great insight.
