Weddings are busy, beautiful and yes, even stressful events. As well as in the hubbub of all things which makes a wedding, well, a wedding, it's not hard to suppose something could easily get missed. That's understandable, however, you want to make certain 'something' doesn't fall under the course of missed photographs. That is why one of the most important aspects of wedding ceremony planning must be picking a your photographer. Remember... long after the cake continues to be eaten and also the wedding gown is pushed to the back from the attic, you'll still be looking at your wedding pictures and remembering the industry of your special day.

Most professional wedding photographers possess a check-list they're going by; one the bride and groom are usually inspired to complete prior to the wedding. If not, make sure you provide the photographer with a listing of what photos you want taken. If you are unsure of what you need to use in that list, you can find photo check lists in bridal magazines and websites such as shutterfly.com or knotforlife.com. Not using a checklist is requesting trouble... and missed photo ops you may never have again. To avoid this unfortunate mishap, make sure to pick someone (the bride's mom, a popular aunt or sister in-law) who will be accountable for working with the photographer; a checks and balances system, you might say.

Owen and Melissa would have benefited greatly from doing so; things got so hectic that they ended up with no single shot of just the two of them! Thank heavens for cropping tools on photo sites!

Other tips to keep in mind when hiring the wedding photographer include:

   Examining their portfolio. Would you like their work? Are they creative? May be the lighting and exposure right?
   Ask for references-and follow up by contacting a couple of of these.
   Remember that does not all professional wedding photographers need to be 'professionals'. There are many hobby photographers whose work is top quality and certainly 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 your money. Are you getting full rights to the photos? How much 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 which you are receiving to acquire your payment.
   Feel confident with the photographer. Do they pay attention to what you would like?

The wedding photographer will in all probability take up a fair amount of your wedding budget. This is exactly why it is important to get as much for the money as possible without compromising the quality of your photos.
