"When booking a wedding make sure a good rapport is established between you and your photographer. A great rapport means a stress free day for both you and your photographer and most importantly beautiful images."
- Ivan of Images by Ivan Fredericksburg VA

"Look for a photographer with some excitement. Excitement will make great photographs. You want to feel comfortable with you photographer. They are the one professional who will spend the most time with you on one of the most important personal days of your life."
J. Bartolome Photography Somersworth, NH

"Request the studio you choose uses film rather then digital, all film and pictures can be digitized and film is better quality. Request proofs, this way you can hold and look at the pictures rather than a CD. If you have any questions please feel free to ask."
- John Franco of ArtistePhotography Union NJ

"Be mindful when hiring your photographer, does there price seem to good to be true? Well then it probably is. Are you getting professional quality prints, or are they coming from Cosco, Walgreens or worst yet, an average consumer photo-printer that they have laying around? Is your photographer using high quality refrigerated professional film or average over the counter consumer film? In the case of Digital is your photographer using high end professional camera's with 6 megapixels or higher, professional digital camera's go to 14 megapixels!! Remember, your wedding day is a day that can't be repeated, YOU WILL get what you pay for!"
- Kevin Kramer of Advantage Photography, Inc. Commerce Twp, MI

"TIP #1 Most photographers will keep YOUR original negatives/digital files and charge you for every reprint you order. The average cost for an 8x10 photo is between $40.00 and $80.00 and 4x6 prints will cost you OVER $5.00 each! This fee is in addition to what you have already paid! Make sure you get the originals, and the rights to print them. You’ve already paid once, you shouldn’t have to keep paying for years to come. TIP #2 The photojournalists approach is to create a story-telling sequence for the couple to remember their day by. It requires the photographer to be versatile in their skills as they adapt for each moment. This allows them to record the day, yet remain as unobtrusive as possible. The photojournalist CAPTURES the image."
- Eric Limón of Eric Limón Photography Housatonic, MA

"In addition to great photographs, check to make sure your personality clicks with the photographer's personality. He or she will be following you around for many hours on your wedding day. Make sure you will be comfortable with them at your wedding!"
- Jason Hudson of Hudson Photography, AR

"A wedding photographer's personality, sense of humor and style are as important as her technical abilities - make certain you are at ease and able to communicate what you want. Sample photos should show brides with a happy light in their eyes and an elegant mood - no matter what the event costs. A really good photographer can make any affair a grand one!"
- Terrill Province of Province & Company Photography Edmond OK
