No wedding day could be complete without beautiful floral arrangements, whether they're placed in the garden where you'll exchange your vows or on your table, they're a glorious and indispensable part of your day. They'll play a wonderful role in your wedding photography too, so it's important that they look fresh and vibrant.

2. Request to see a complete coverage of the photographer's work - that is, ask for a picture or online portfolio of an entire wedding for which he or she was hired. Many wedding photographers hire an assistant who is also a photographer - keep this in mind as you'll be viewing the works of two professionals shooting the same wedding - the price paid will be greater than for a single photographer.
3. Choose an overall photographic style that suits you, whether photojournalistic, candid, formal posed portraits, artsy with added dramatic flourishes, color, or black-and-white for a romantic, classy look - or select a blend of a number of styles. Which can the prospective photographer deliver?
4. Consider the photographer's personality. Decide if you share a vision and will get along well. Remember, the photographer will be your shadow before and during the event.
5. Check prices, including those of packages offered and numbers of prints included. Remember, it may be worth it to invest in a good photographer if it means that the memories of the day will be captured perfectly or near-perfectly.
6. Schedule a follow-up meeting to determine the specifics - the shots you want and don't want, the shooting schedule on the day of the wedding, and organizing a "shot list" to make sure you don't leave out those other important people.
Make sure you find out how you'll gain access to your images. Does your photographer sell you prints from an online website or can you buy the digital images and make your own prints? Does your photographer retouch your images for you? Is there extra cost involved?

Hints for Finding Your Photographer
Experienced wedding photographers charge more than your uncle or your friend because they know what's involved and they take precautions on your wedding day, carrying extra gear: camera bodies, lenses and flashes. Most are also able to bring a portable studio in case you need or want to shoot indoors. Professional photographers bring lights and umbrellas - amateurs use the camera mounted flash. They give very different results!
1. Ask family, friends and recent newlyweds for recommendations, and ask to see their wedding albums. If you find a style you like, contact the photographer and set up an interview.
