Before you begin searching for a photographer, you need to know your style preference. This means that you need to think hard about whether you want a photojournalist, a traditional wedding photographer or one who is comfortable and capable of acting like both. This will make a big difference regarding how your pictures will turn out and they will bring back different memories when you look back on the pictures so think about how the pictures in your ideal wedding book would appear.

If you look back through your friend’s or sister’s wedding album and you notice that many of them are black and white candid action shots, this would mean that she probably had a cameraman that leaned towards photojournalism. However, if this is not appealing to you and really like portraits or posed, more traditional photos, then a wedding photographer will be your best bet. If you can’t decide between the two because you like both kinds, then you probably want one with a dual ability.
