Wedding pictures are a cherished keepsake, passed down through generations, and the only commemoration of the thousands of hours and dollars spent to plan the most important day of your life.

Pictures

Visit each photographer’s website. Carefully review his or her portfolio. Good photographers usually show plenty of their recent work online including full weddings – you will save time by pre-qualifying photographers who have comprehensive online portfolio for possible meeting. Create a list of those photographers. Most important is – see if photographer’s work looks appealing to you.

Full wedding

If you have a chance look at a full wedding album. Don’t get fooled into looking just at one gallery of favorites. Make sure they are capable of creating what you expect at each and every wedding.

Personality

Interview several photographers, and select someone who makes you feel very comfortable. When you “click” with the photographer, chances are your photos will also look more natural.

Budget

Determine your Budget. Photographer fees, prints, albums, etc. generally come to approximately 10% to 15% of the entire wedding budget.
