Your photographer must know how to deal with light like this. You would be well-advised, however, to meet with a number of photographers to determine the actual costs of providing you with what you want in the way of wedding pictures before you finalize your budget. Perhaps the single-greatest mistake made when seeking a wedding photographer is to use cost alone as the prime factor in your decision. There is a saying that you get what you pay for, and you must ask yourself if it is truly worth it for you to hire the most-economical photographer you can find. You do not want to be reminded for life of just how cheap a price you paid for your wedding pictures.
Cost is certainly an important factor.
You should not pay more than is necessary for what you want, but quality and reliability have a price, too, and you should expect to pay for them. If the choice comes down to the same price for a mediocre photographer to cover your entire wedding from the bride's preparation to the final dance, and a proven quality photographer for just the ceremony, formals and family pictures, you would be better off to go for less coverage and better pictures. The preparation and reception pictures are usually secondary, and can often be taken as snapshots by family members or wedding guests, but the wedding ceremony and formals must be well-photographed. A mixture of deep shadow and bright sunlight can be a nightmare for all but experienced photographers.
