Tips for choosing a photographer

Always speak with the photographer and definitely try to meet with them prior to booking your event. Be clear about what you want to accomplish and advise them about what you do not like so they can avoid it. Make a list of the things that you would like to have. Don't drive yourself crazy about what you can afford to have. Just list it. Decide what you would like in each category -Prints? -Album?-Enlargements or additional albums for special people? -Enlargements or wall portraits for myself? -Do I want the photos on copyright-free DVD so I can make reprints?

You will likely spend more time with your photographer on your wedding day than with any other person (other than your new husband or wife). You really want to select someone with a personality that will make all of the event and together time as comfortable as possible! So how do you tell if they are right for you? Just look at the way he or she communicates with you. Is he or she patient? Friendly? Easy to be around? Do you feel comfortable with him or her?
