Never choose your photographer based on price alone. "You get what you pay for" & "too good to be true" apply here.
Photographers who have invested time, education & money in learning their craft, in maintaining top-rated equipment, in professional affiliations (PPA, WJPA, etc.) AND liability coverage will have pricing that reflects it.
Low end photographers are either inexperienced, not confident enough in their work to charge like a pro OR don't the reputation to be able to charge what the higher end competition is charging.
And watch out for studios who show awesome image sampls then offer low priced packages that seem to include everything. These types of studios are known as Wedding Mills, and they focus on quantity over quality. They do not have a staff of pro photographers, rather they outsource YOUR WEDDING to any shutterbug available on your date!!

Weddings are the only times (besides funerals) when all the family is in the same place at the same time, and everyone is reasonably well dressed. Take advantage of this by making sure to include family groupings.

It is essential to give the photographer a list of people whose pictures you want taken, when to take certain pictures, etc. We made the mistake that our photographer knew all of that and a lot of people were dissatisfied.
