It sounds like a simple task to take photos of that special day. However, more than you realise, there are a multitude of things to think about regarding your wedding photography. You will have only one chance, so make sure the photographer you hire is professional.
One of the worst mistakes you could make would be to get a family member or close friend to be the wedding photographer. Even with proper equipment it is not easy to record the day’s events. There are stories of Uncles not pressing the right button and would be happy couples relying on other relatives or friends for that elusive shot. Not ideal I’m sure you will agree.
It may be now that we should have decided that we may be far better off employing the services of a professional wedding photgrapher to capture the day. Again we need to be careful and bear some important points in mind. The first is who we will employ and what he or she will look like. In an ideal world, you will want somebody who is smart, professional and will blend in with guests. First impressions count so when meeting prospective photographers expect them to be smart and well presented, they should be as they are trying to win your business. You also want someone who you can relate to and feel comfortable with as they will be able to draw the best out of you and your guests. When viewing wedding photo samples, you may be advised to see an album in its entirety, rather than samples across various weddings. Seeing a whole album will give you a far better feel for quality and consistency of work that the best shots pulled out of several different ones.
Many photographers may approach the day as only another wedding with lacklustre images. Others may have more of an artistic flair and will capture the day as a whole, attempting to produce a narrative. When looking back at photographs it is may be the little things like getting ready that really bring the memories flooding back so it’s not just the photos outside the church that may be important. Think about the story and not just single images for something contemporary.
Wedding photography should not be left to chance, try to find a photographer who will record your special day in a way that you will enjoy for years.

Help answer the question about Wedding Photography
Wedding Photographers: my wife wants to start "dabbling" in wedding photography. What's the minimum equipment?She has a Pentax DSLR camera – what I'm really wondering is, what are the specs of the lenses she'll need to get started, and what are the specs of the flashes she'll need. Not wanting to go full-time, just wants to make a little extra money as she's home with our new baby daughter.
Hey "Sam C," I'm 1/2 mexican, and 1/2 asian indian,so you're racial slurs missed the mark. Try again.

A high price doesn't guarantee quality. Conversely, a lower price doesn't indicate lower quality. 'Digital negative' is a file format is a lossless format that was agreed upon by industry leaders. It preserves as much of the original file's information as is possible. Basically, it's as close to a RAW file as you can come without the hassle of manufacturer-specific compatibility problems arising 10 years down the road. Think long-term: Today, it's easy to open a jpeg with anything, but with computers, 10 years can make the difference between a DVD and an 8-inch floppy disc.
As for references- not examples. If they're established, you may also get some advice from the management of your reception location, local churches, wedding planners, etc….ALL these people form a network- and they DO develop opinions of one another, regarding who's easy to work with, whose work they like, etc.
DO NOT underestimate the human factor when choosing the photographer. This person is going to be hovering around you for the entire day- a day already filled with stress. If you click with the person, it WILL show in your photos….conversely, if you don't really care for them, the smile may be there, but the twinkle in your eye may not be. And you'll have FOREVER to see that in your images.
It all depends on how awesome the photographer is and where you are. In L.A. that's a good package for about that prices. Make sure you get in writing everything promised and when you get it, sepcific date.
I charge $2000 for me to photograph the wedding and web hosting @ picatage.com linked through my website. All the other stuff is extra they can pay for. Not all photogreaphers charge the same and not all of us are at the same level of expertise or skill.
You do get what youpaid for, I applaud you for willing to pay money. The photographer is the only person you'll hire who works all day for you and gives(sells) you something tangible that will last for generations.
Excellent work. Pleasure to watch. Perfect music

Nice work, you did pretty good.
Very nice!!
Brilliant Willy, Just Brilliant =D
You’re really good man. You’ve got excellent talent.
Here in the USA, that would be pretty good. The negative DVD is simply a disc with all of your original (and possibly also edited) photos. That way you can stick it in any computer and upload them to something like MySpace or Facebook, or take it to a drugstore and get some printed.
The wedding story DVD sounds like a lovely idea. I think that you definitely will appreciate a DVD instead of a VHS because VHS is so outdated now and you want something that your kids and grandkids will easily be able to watch in the future… chances of there still being a working VCR around then is slim!
Great talent Der Mann.
Incredible! He looks so life like. Just amazing…and what a beautiful subject
