Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Set a date with your fiancé. Everything else you will be planning with your wedding will hinge on the date you select. The photographer’s schedule and availability also depends on your date.
Step2
Search through your local online Yellow Pages, or run a standard search of “wedding photographers in the
area.” This will pull up a list of photographers offering their services for your wedding.
Step3
Look through the Web sites of each, noting that particular photographer’s experience in wedding photography. Look at their sample pictures and note the quality of shots they have produced.
Step4
Keep a running list of the pros and cons of each photographer. You will see they likely differ in price, and quality of their final product. Set a list of a few final candidates, and record the contact information you can find on their site.
Step5
Sit down with the final candidates and discuss your wedding. Know what you are looking for going into each meeting, and see which candidate best fits your needs while keeping it affordable.
Step6
Hire the photographer who most impresses you and your fiancé, making sure that person is available for the date of your wedding. If you are hiring a company, make sure you know which photographer will be shooting your wedding.
