Weddings are busy, beautiful and yes, even stressful events. And in the hustle and bustle of everything which makes a wedding, well, a wedding, you can suppose something could easily get missed. That's understandable, however, you want to make sure that 'something' doesn't come under the course of missed photographs. That is why probably the most important aspects of wedding ceremony planning needs to be the selection of your photographer. Remember... long afterwards the cake has been eaten and the wedding dress is pushed towards the back from the attic, you will still be looking at the wedding pictures and remembering the joy of your personal day.

Most professional wedding photographers have a check-list they go by; one the bride and groom are usually inspired to complete before the wedding. If not, be sure you provide the photographer with a list of what photos you would like taken. If you're unsure of what you should use in that list, you'll find photo check lists in bridal magazines and websites such as shutterfly.com or knotforlife.com. Not using a checklist is asking for trouble... and missed photo ops you may never have again. To avoid this unfortunate mishap, make sure to select someone (the bride's mom, a favorite aunt or sister in-law) who will be responsible for working with the photographer; a checks and balances system, in ways.

Owen and Melissa might have benefited greatly from doing this; things got so hectic that they ended up without a single shot of only the two of them! Thank heavens for cropping tools on photo sites!

Other ideas to bear in mind when hiring the wedding photographer include:

   Examining their portfolio. Would you similar to their work? Are they creative? May be the lighting and exposure right?
   Ask for references-and follow up by contacting a couple of of them.
   Remember that not all professional wedding photographers need to be 'professionals'. There are many hobby photographers whose work is high quality and definitely wedding-worthy. Ask family and friends for suggestions, speak to your local photography club or the photo-journalism department of the nearby college or university.
   Make sure the photographer fully explains what you're getting for the money. Are you currently getting full rights towards the photos? The length of time is included within the price? Just how long will it be before you receive your photos?
   Get it in writing. This includes receipts for payments made along with a 'contract' for what you will get in return for your payment.
   Feel confident with the photographer. Do they pay attention to what you want?

The wedding photographer will in all probability take up a fair amount of the wedding budget. That's why you should get just as much for the money as possible without compromising the quality of your photos.
