For those who are not familiar with it, Histamatic is an app for the iPhone that is designed to make modern digital pictures look like old school analog film pictures. It's immense popularity is in keeping with a broader trend that has sparked a renewed interest in low-tech cameras like Polaroid instant cameras. People find a richness and authenticity in the appearance of film photography, much in the same way that purists say that vinyl always sounds better than "too perfect" cds.

Hipstamatic photographs would make a wonderful addition to a wedding with a retro vibe. They will not replace having a photographer taking pictures with a professional camera, because the print quality simply is not equal.

This allows the wedding to be posted to your social network page live as it happens, creating the story of the day in real time online. The app allows the user to play with different lens, flash, and film effects to create artful unique images that will really capture the mood of your wedding. For anyone who wants an original portfolio of wedding pics, it would be great to add Histamatic images into the mix.
