Find your photographer..

It is very  important that you find the perfect wedding photographer because these photos will last a lifetime.
So while hunting for a photographer all you got to do is search and research. Remember wedding photographers can be expensive, but most of them do an excellent job.

Get some help..

Get recommendations from friends and family. Word of mouth really is a great way to plan your wedding. You want people who will be truthful and tell you some of the exact pros and cons of wedding photographers.

The internet gives you loads of information about them. If you are looking for a photographer who does Indian wedding: there are sites that gives you tons of information about photographers,like the indianweddingsite.

Review the photographers work. Usually photographers have a website, where you can see some of their portraits, as well as full wedding coverage.

Of course the pricing of your wedding photos is very important. Many wedding photographers have package deals so that you know how much you will be paying and how many photos you will receive up front. And remember they are expensive. There are some budding photographers who are very good and charge a lot less.

Once you narrow your choices to a few, meet with the photographers to see their work in person. Look through some of the wedding albums they have completed, as well as watch some of the DVD's they may have to offer. Ask Questions such as: How long will you be available to take pictures, Will you have an assistant to take extra pictures, How long after the wedding does it usually take to have the pictures and albums ready?

Ask the right questions:

Be prepared. Before the interview, make a list of all the questions you want to ask. Keep a notepad handy to record the answers, which may inspire even more questions.

make sure they are not over booked for the same day. Request the photographer's schedule for your wedding day. If it looks overbooked, move on to your next choice. If he or she arrives late for your wedding or has to leave early, you may not get all the pictures you want.

Pay attention to the way the photographers present themselves. A professional manner probably indicates you'll get professional photos from your wedding.

Ask the photographer to present an extensive portfolio consisting of his or her most recent work. Find out if the photographer also works in video and ask to see samples.

Have the photographer supply references. Not just letters, which anyone can write, but the names and phone numbers of two or three past clients. Call them for an assessment of the photographer's past work. You not only want to discover how the pictures turned out, but whether the photographer behaved professionally. Remember, this person will be a guest at your wedding.
