Looking for a great photographer

If there is any advice that I can give it is this....don't scrimp on a good photographer. I have decorated many weddings during my professional career. I have seen so many things but the one thing that I have come across time and time again is poor photography. Now I know that some budgets don't have a huge portion for photography but using Joe blow from work or a friend of a friend just isn't going to cut it.
A great photographer can capture the essence of a wedding. Some of the best pictures I have seen by photographers are of weddings that don't have allot of "decorations" they have style. A great photographer captures that feeling on film. If you possibly can budget for photography, don't leave your most important day to someone who does an o.k. job. I promise if you shop around there are great photographers who are affordable as well as give you your moneys worth.
Cut back on some of the things that don't really matter like extra decorations or catering, you can do it just budget and keep looking.

Capture the moment

This picture captures the very essence of a wedding. What pulls at your heart strings than a father embracing his daughter. I am sure he is seeing her growing up all over again as he dances with her for the last time as his little girl. Picking the right photographer is what I consider #2 on my budget list. Skimping on a photographer is like throwing away memories that are so precious. Hire someone who really knows their stuff.
relatives are fine to take candid shots of family, friends and guests that only your parents know.
Budget in a good amount for the photographer, you won't regret it.
