Now lets get started:

This post is for the newly engaged bride and groom to be seeking a wedding photographer.

For most brides and grooms, photography is the most important part of there wedding day planning.
Choosing the right photographer can be a daunting task. My name is Maria Longhi, I am a digital and film photographer in the Southern California area.
and I wrote this post because your wedding photographs will be cherished for many years and pasted on to your children and grand children …..and beyond.

Lets first start with:

What should a couple consider when hiring a photographer?
In my opinion the first step is to always follow your instincts. Don’t just hire your sister’s or friends wedding photographer. Look at a lot of people’s work and see what style speaks to you, in addition to the many referrals you are getting. When you decide what you like you can ask for a price to see if the photographer is within your budget. Say your budget is $4000 total then you do not want to meet with a photographer that is starting at $10,000 that will be a waste of time and there time so be honest with what you can afford. Next when possible meet with the photographer beforehand to see if you are a match. It is important that the photographer is interested in you and your wedding.

How important is it to meet your photographer in person before you sign the contract?
Knowing that your personalities blend is hugely important, as important as budget and how much you like their images. The photographer is more intimately involved in what’s going on your wedding day than any other vendor. They will be with you the whole day.
The more comfortable you are with your photographer, the more beautiful and relaxed your images will be.

In the end your wedding images should tell your love story.
