2. Check out magazines and websites to define what kind of styles you like.

3. Ask for referral from married relative or friends. Interact with other brides online (try joining a forum) and they could point you to the right direction and help you avoid pitholes at the same time.

4. Get him or her to update you on current demand. Increasingly, couples are making their wedding albums into a love story.

5. Talk to a few shortlisted photographers. You might want to pick one who has experience shooting the kind of styles you want. Ask to see some previous works and check out their pricing and package. Some photographers will charge you more but in return they throw in more stuff. On the other hand, a cheaper initial quote could end up very expensive as you will be tempted to add more pictures as you go.

6. Show him or her your preferred styles and see if they can duplicate the same results. Get him or her to show you portfolio of something similar to what you want.

7. Negotiate for your softcopy. Photographers like to withold your softcopy so they can charge you everytime you want to reprint your photos. Rely on your bargaining power and charm to strike this deal which can save you a lot.

8. Still can't decide? Go for a photographer with a good temper and mannerism because it could get stressful when it comes to getting the perfect shot. Look for passion in the photographers instead of those who go hardcore in marketing, try to upsell you and offer more bargains, however tempting it will be. A passionate photographer takes pride in his or her work and will go the extra mile to make your photos more beautiful and elegant.
