When you talk to different photographers, one of the most important aspects to remember is that you should really like the person and be able to talk freely and openly with them. If you have any reservations, this is a very important sign because you need to bond with this individual. You will need to feel comfortable inviting him or her backstage because some of the best shots will come from behind the scenes where people are acting more like themselves and expressing their true emotions.

In addition, the photographer will have a lot of contact with both of your friends and families so you don’t want an individual who makes you feel uncomfortable when they are around your guests. He or she is a very visible individual at the wedding and they will be trying to cajole individuals into relaxed smiles and stances so they need to be assertive enough, without being unlikable, to find the great moments. If the individual is too frenetic or hyper this may be a bad sign because you need someone who is going to be a calming and positive force. When you talk to the photographer, you also want someone who is a good listener and asks a lot of questions so they know exactly what you want and like. If anything strikes you as off or rubs you the wrong way, then you need to continue your search.
