A picture is worth a thousand words...

I have found that phrase to be true, again and again. And still yet again.

Choosing your photographer for your wedding or event is key. What do you want? What is your personality like? What is the feel you're going for?

Here's a few things to consider when you start shopping for your event photographer.

What is the photographer's style -- traditional, photojournalistic?

Does the photographer shoot in mostly color, black and white, or both?
Will there be an assistant taking photos at the wedding as well?

Can I give the photographer a list of shots that I want?
How long has the photographer been shooting weddings?
How long will it take to get my proofs?
Can I keep the negatives or can I buy them?
What is the photographer's rate?
What time will the photographer arrive and how long will they stay?
Can I look at a complete wedding album the photographer has shot?
