Choosing a Wedding Photographer

This is probably one of the most, if not the most, important day of your life. In making plans for your wedding, the selection of the photographer is the most important for two reasons:

  1. Your photographs will be the only permanent and lasting record of your eventful day -- something you want to be proud of and share the rest of your life.
  2. You will spend more time with the photographer than any other person involved with your wedding.

The photographer should be the first to see you for photographs at your home, or in the dressing room at church, and should be nearly the last one to leave long after the florist, baker, caterer, etc., have left.

Here are some guidelines to follow for choosing the person who will spend your wedding day with you:

1. Choose a studio that is known for specializing in weddings.
