Photos
Photo's are an important part of your wedding process so make sure you buget accordingly. I'm sure "uncle Fred" has a beauriful camera but if he doesn't have the eye and the know how to take your wedding pictures....you should leave it to a professional. At our wedding, we just bought a whole bunch of film and sat it out for anyone to use and to give us copies of the prints. We got no pictures with us with my family or Diana's family. A lot of "moments" got missed.
Meet with a few and find one that fits your "style" and see's what you want. Watch out for the ones that "have nice gear" but don't have many years ofexperience behind them. A true professional will "shadow"an established photographer for some time before they go out on their own. Make sure you look at their work.
