The Photos 9 months before Unlike flowers that will fade, and food that will quickly disappear, your wedding photos will be enjoyed for generations to come. So hiring the right photographer may be one of the best investments you make. Most important is finding a photographer who fits your needs. Ask friends and relatives to recommend good ones they've heard of, and look for ones who have a philosophy that appeals to you.
Many couples now seek a journalistic style, documenting the day as it happens.
Of course, formal portrait photos are still requested. Since the superstitions about keeping the bride and groom separate before the wedding are dying out, most couples are posing for their formal shots before the ceremony. As most couples do, you'll probably want to know the price up front. Give a ballpark budget figure to the photographer, and start talking from there. Ask if an assistant will be required, and at what cost.
