Step 1
Get references from family and friends. You'll find when you ask around that even though only a few may have gotten married, many more attended weddings. Listen not only to suggestions, but warnings.
-
Step 2
Interview photographers and review their portfolios. Depending on how well-established and popular a photographer is, you may have to pay for his time. It's worth it when choosing the best wedding photographer. pay close attention to his personality, not just his portfolio. He'll need to be both pleasant and professional throughout one of the most exciting, and tense, days of your life.

Step 3
Get a reasonable estimate from each wedding photographer before signing any contracts.Get estimates for the wedding, the album, and any additional pictures you want taken. If you can't afford the best wedding photographer, it doesn't matter how many people recommended him or how brilliant his portfolio is. He won't show up, and you won't have any wedding pictures. As you narrow down your list of potential wedding photographers, make sure they're within your budget.

Step 4
Even the best abstract photographer still can't please a couple with traditional tastes.Choose the wedding photographer whose style best suits your personal taste. Once you've found a few great wedding photographers within your price range, choose the one whose personal style of photography best matches your own style. You won't be any more comfortable in a weird wedding portrait than a wedding gown you don't like, so choose carefully. If there's one shot you absolutely demand, now is the time to demand it, and make sure your first choice for a wedding photographer doesn't balk or try to talk you out of it.
