Organising your special day can be hard work. We have researched and looked at businesses in the area and work with some of them to help you find what you need.
If you prefer a photojournalistic look, don't stop and pose each time you sense a camera pointed your way. Your photographer was attracted to whatever you were doing and is trying to capture the true spirit of your day, not a pose. Therefore, it's best to let your families know that you've hired a candid photographer so that they're not constantly asking him or her to take posed photos.
Plan pictures that are totally you. You may be a fun loving couple, so a picture of the two of you standing side by side isn't something that reflects your relationship. Him holding you from behind, with his chin on your shoulder - that looks more like you and the way you appear in real life. So plan your photos with that in mind. And don't be afraid to say no to your photographer if he or she is coming up with cheesy ideas. Stand your ground and feel free to veto any ideas that make you unhappy or uncomfortable.
Personality plays a very important role in wedding photography. Hire the wrong photographer and you and your guests will suffer the consequences. Does the photographer listen to you? Do they have a controlling personality? Do they abide by the rules of the church, temple, or synagogue? Do they want to steal the show and be the center of attention? Does he have people skills? Does he dress professionally? Do they look and smell clean?
