One of the most important vendors that Bride and Grooms look to hire is a photographer. It is important to meet with different photographers to see their work, to see if your personalities match as well as their price point.
Before meeting with the photographer, make sure to look up reviews and speak to friends and family who may have used them in the past.
Make sure to communicate the most important photos that you want the photographer to capture. Also communicate when you want to stop formal photos and start with candid shots.
Lastly, a signed contract stating services hired for, start and finish time as well as must have photos is strongly recommended.
