You might expect to get some biased advice here, seeing as I happen to be a wedding photographer. Well, that's partially true. As a photographer, I know how vital the wedding photography will be to your big day - which is unfortunately something some brides don't realize until it's too late.
No matter who you decide to use for your wedding photographer, make this the one place you don’t skimp. Planning a wedding on a budget is an enormous task, but the photography budget should be one of the last things you cut. The day after your wedding, the food will all be eaten, the cake will be gone, the flowers will be dead, and your dress will be hanging in the back of your closet, but the pictures of your day will be around forever. In the end, after it is all said and done, they will be virtually the only physical reminder you have of your day. This is the part of your wedding that your kids will see - and their kids, and their kids, and so on - so make sure that the legacy of your wedding will be something you are proud to share. The old adage you get what you pay for is never more true than when applied to wedding photography!

Amen, Lara. Amen. :)
Very true. During my own wedding, however, we also found a photographer who would actually provide us with the unprocessed raw images that he shot! That, I think, was very kind, and it allows us to reprint the photos when we need to. In my eyes, that was a big plus on the photographer's scorecard ;)
