Step 1: Discuss the photography with your fiance.

Both of you should be involved in the process, because the bride and groom both need to be comfortable with whomever is selected. Some brides prefer a woman photographer for those intimate getting ready photos and artistic womans touch, while others prefer a man for his confident and professional approach. Others like to have two shooters, the photographer and assistant for two perspectives and efficiency.

Find out from your fianc what you both agree to be satisfactory as a finished product. A digital CD? Wedding album? Proof album? All the bells and whistles? Keep these things in mind when you begin your search.
