It is essential that you choose the right wedding photographer as you will only get one chance of getting the perfect photographs of your wedding day.
Spend time finding the right person for you. They must be confident about what they do and also be able to put you at ease and make you feel comfortable to get the best results.
Experience is everything in the world of wedding photography so they can cope with all the potential problems like bad lighting, using the best background and dealing with shy guests that don't particularly want their picture taken!

It is essential that you view their portfolio to see the picture quality and that their style of framing the photographs is what you are looking for. Make sure they show you lots of different photos from many different weddings and not just a few select ones of their choice. |

Ask for references from satisfied customers. Some past clients may even be happy to be contacted about the service they received. A recommendation from a friend is also a good sign. |

A local photographer will know all the churches and venues in your area so that gives them an advantage as they know the best locations for taking the best pictures. |
| |
|
Have a list of photographs you want taking including the names of your bridal party and guests. This will make sure nobody is left out on the day. |

A popular style of wedding photography is called 'Reportage', this is where informal pictures are taken throughout the day to capture all the magic moments as they happen in real time. |

|
Some black and white images mixed with full colour photographs is a great combination. |
| |
|
Have your lipstick, blusher and powder close to hand in case you need to top up your makeup between poses. |
| |
|
Make sure the photographer has at least two cameras in case one of them breaks down. Most also have insurance to cover the cost of doing a second shoot in case of a problem caused by them on the day. |

Photograpy is a popular hobby but don't be tempted to use a friend or relative with little experience. |
| |
|
Many photographers now have websites where you can view your pictures online. This is a great way to choose the photos you want in your final wedding album. It is also simple for friends and family to choose and buy the photos they want. |
