You've got your dream dress,your dream venue and the flowers are sorted but your wedding pictures are the one way for you to remember that very special day. With the high costs professional photographers charge for capturing your special day, you want to be sure that you've got the right style, price and package. After all, your wedding is one day, but the photos will last a lifetime.- Choose a photographer or photographic studio. It is suggested you look at three portfolios. A website is an excellent way to view the photographer's images and styles.

Go with your gut. Meet your photographer before agreeing to any price, because you have to actually like the person that you are going to spend quite a few hours with in the next coming months. I love to meet my clients and be able to go through their likes and dislikes, what they feel comfortable with and it give them a chance to feel comfortable with me. Wedding fairs are great to meet your potential photographer and have a good chat before you make your mind up.
Photography packages and prices. Don't be scared when your photographer gives you a quote and it seems a lot of money for just one day. You have to take into consideration the amount of time one wedding can take for a professional photographer. I know for myself, it can take a weeks of prep and editing time and not to mention consultations,negotiations and marketing. It's not just one day of work and it is a hell of a lot of responsibility to make sure you are taking the best
photos possible in such a short time frame.
