In fact you can apply it to many of the other additional (and wonderful!) expenses for your big day - I'm thinking band, registrar, driver etc. If I had any experience to share it would include; 1. Understand if your photographer shoots in digital or not? There is a notable difference in the final quality of the prints but with digital at least the photographer can shoot and shoot which often leads to some really unexpected beauties! 2. An assertive photographer for the day is a must. You don't want a shrinking violet that is scared of approaching Uncle Bulgaria. You want someone that, in a friendly style, can direct friends and families and can make say a group shot of 100 people seem fun rather than a chore. 3. Make sure they know who your Best Man is and that they both then have a list of the group shots you want for the day in the order you want them. Your Best Man should round people up or prep them whilst the photographers clicks away. Good Luck!
