Choosing the right wedding photographer can make a big difference to the lasting effect of your wedding day, after all once the cake is cut, the champagne drunk and the flowers have started to wilt . . . what are you left with? You've got it - the photographs.

Remember this, a good wedding photographer can make even a budget bride and groom look a million dollars whereas a poor one can make that $5,000 gown look like it came from the charity store!
So what should you look out for when choosing a wedding photographer to document your big day?
Personality - not just the personality of the photographer but the personality of his images. Do you like the photographs he's taken for other weddings? Has he captured the style and essence of the day with the same sort of flair you want for your own wedding album? Do you feel that you can trust this person to document one of the biggest days of your life?
Style - are you moved by the images he's taken for other weddings? Are they bursting with flair and creativity? Do they accurately portray the story of the day? Do the people look comfortable and at ease in the pictures?
Cost - this is a tricky one but the wedding photographer is one thing which you should not skimp on even on the tightest budget. Remember the point I made earlier about the budget bride? In the years following your wedding everything will fade into obscurity and be forgotten. The only thing which you will have to remember your big day by will be your photographs so surely it is worth pushing the boat out as far as possible to make sure that you get a wedding album worthy of your day.
