photography Your wedding pictures are priceless; they are among the most vivid reminders of your wedding. Begin searching for your photographer early to ensure their availability. Our membership listings are an excellent way to find your photographer; most of them have Web sites where you can see samples of their work. Another effective way is by word-of-mouth referrals, so ask various wedding vendors. Wedding photography is very demanding and is both an art and a science. It requires a professional with the proper equipment, the right skills and a pleasant personality. In choosing your photographer, think about your personal style and how you want your wedding day to be captured. Do you love the classic look of black and white? Are formal portraits your style? Do you prefer lots of candid shots? Do you want a combination of all of the above? Ask your photographer what style they use. An important issue for you to consider is whether the person whose photographs you are looking at is the one who is going to photograph your wedding. This may be a factor if you’re considering a large studio with many photographers on staff or if a wedding planner is providing a photographer for you. Ask prospective photographers for clear information on fees, because they can vary considerably, and be sure to ask about refund policies. Some photographers include a CD in their pricing, while others keep the photos and charge for reprints and enlargements. Advances in technology also allow photographers to upload images to an online photo gallery. If you choose this system, you will be able to view your prints online and purchase prints on the Internet.
