There are lots of photographers in many different price ranges.
You should meet with as many as possible before making your final
decision! Here are some tips.
1. Meet with as many photographers as possible - make mental
notes about how comfortable you were (or weren't) with each. Remember,
your photographer will be with you during your ENTIRE wedding
- it's important to like him or her!
2. When you meet with the photographers, be sure to look at their
portfolios. Ask if you can see pictures from a complete wedding
in addition to selections from various weddings.
3. Make sure the photographer matches your style. Do you prefer
more candid shots? Black and whites? Ask the photographer about
his/her preferred style and look at samples. Ask if there's additional
cost for black and whites.
4. Get price lists and be sure to verify whether or not this
price list is the one that will apply to YOUR wedding! It's good
to book as early as possible, but if you are 6 to 12 months out
from your wedding, the photographer may raise his/her rates between
the time you book and the day of your wedding.
5. Before signing the contract, be sure that ALL costs are detailed
in writing. Don't sign a contract with an open ended price. Make
sure that prices for reprints are included, as well as every aspect
of the agreement.
In addition to costs and the package selection, the contract should
include things like: date, arrival time, length of shooting time,
fees and overtime charges, a list of all locations where photos
will be taken and when.
Other things to consider:
Ask your photographer if he/she works with an assistant at weddings.
Many work alone, but if you are having a large wedding with blended
families it might be a good idea to hire a photographer with an
assistant to keep track of it all!
Ask for recommendations from friends and coworkers. Ask if you
can see pictures from their wedding!
Be sure the photographer you select "specializes" in
weddings or has several in his or her portfolio.
Make a list for your photographer of all the *must have* and *nice
to have* photographs. Be sure you get input from your parents
and from your fiancee's parents too!
Let Your Guests Help You Capture Reception Memories!
Table cameras are tons of fun! Your guests will capture moments
your photographer can't. When you return from your honeymoon, you'll
enjoy looking through candid pictures of practically every guest
at your reception.

financially? Offer to develop some or all of the cameras after the
reception!
