The style and photographer you choose will not only affect the appearance of your album, but also the flow of your big day! You can hire in Pittsburgh Photo Booth from Annie O'Neill Weddings.  Few basics about wedding photography styles can make sure that you find a good match. 

"Traditional" or "Classic" Photography 

This style of wedding photography is most likely what you've seen most: poses are extremely formal, staged, and consist of men and women standing in a number of configurations with the wedding party and family. The photographer typically have a checklist of combinations, and the photos will maintain a fairly limited range of settings because the photographer will want to work efficiently to check on off every pose on the list, and moving guests around can be a challenge. This style can ensure that everyone you want photographed is at a picture, and they know they're being photographed at the time. You shall have the posed pictures you want, but the photographs may lack spontaneity. 

Photojournalistic Photography 

A popular option lately for wedding photography is the photojournalistic style. Photojournalism is telling a whole tale with images. Therefore, the photographer with this style will make an effort to convey the group of events during the day through photography. This style of photography is much less formal, and while the photographer will capture key moments common to all weddings likely, he or she shall not intercede to stage photos to ensure that everyone has their picture taken. Also, many of the images will be candid, so people might not know their picture is being taken at the right time. This is a less predictable style, but it allows for more spontaneity and movements in the pictures therefore. 

"Illustrative," "Contemporary," or "Fashion" Photography 


This style is the most nebulous of the marriage picture taking styles, unlike traditional photography, groups are not staged into collection poses and given a countdown to the flash. Unlike picture journalistic photography, the professional photographer is involved in creating and directing the plans and setting up of the themes. Unlike either, the photographer's artistic side will show more, and creative lighting and grouping can dominate the appearance of the photos. While the photography can be fun, the look of the photographs will be neither spontaneous nor traditional, so the photographer's viewpoint can take center stage. This style may also be time-consuming and take the party away from the guests.
