Wedding Photography Deciding what you need Choosing the right photographer Other things to consider Let your guests help you capture memories Video Which photos to take?

Other things to consider:
Ask your photographer if he/she works with an assistant at weddings. Many photographers 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. An assistant often keeps track of what photos have been taken as well as making sure that everyone is standing properly and your dress is falling the way it should.

Ask for recommendations from friends and coworkers. If any of them has a recommendation, ask if you can see pictures from the wedding.

Be sure the photographer you select "specializes" in weddings or has several in his or her portfolio. The key here is to choose a photographer who has experience taking the kinds of photos that you need. Choosing a photographer with little wedding experience may get you a better price, but you are taking a real gamble with the finished product.

Make a list for your photographer of all the “must have” and “nice to have” photographs. An example sheet is provided here. This is one of the most important things you can provide your photographer with. It will ensure that you get the photos that you want, rather than just a standard set of photos. Be sure you get input from your parents and from your fiancée's parents too.
