You are making a list. It’s a list for your upcoming wedding. You think and write, and then catch yourself daydreaming about your perfect day... Maybe you are dreaming about having the perfect Northern California or destination wedding. It has to be just right, for everyone to see, and there are so many things to do! In the exciting process of planning your wedding, you want to find a wedding photographer that you feel comfortable with, a professional photographer who can take the moments of your special day and creatively save them for you to enjoy forever. How can you find the right person for the job? Here are some tips and hints to help you choose the right creative professional for preserving your wedding day memories and feelings that you will want to experience over and over again.
Tip #1: Choose a style that is right for you. The style of your wedding is one of the first things your photographer will take into account. The creative eye of the professional combines with technical expertise in photography and videography, making it possible to capture amazing moments in time for you to cherish. For instance, if you are a San Francisco area resident, you might choose a Marin County wedding photographer, familiar with newer San Francisco photography styles. Someone well versed and experienced with the location quirks, and local light and weather patterns. This will save you valuable time before you just go calling around for local wedding photographers. If searching via the Internet, you could Google something like wedding photography in San Francisco.
Tip#2: Have a plan to find the right photographer. Include your wedding photographer in your plan from the start, and you will have a fulfilling experience. Ask your friends to show you their wedding albums and videos. Facebook, church, a bar mitzvah, are all good places to start your search, and social networking mixers are great as well. In California, winery networking is also popular, and weddings are a great topic of conversation. Wine country wedding vendors specialize if you want a wedding in the wine country, and different venues work in similar ways.

Tip#3: Have engagement photos taken. Make time to get to know your photographer, it will be well worth it. While meeting with a wedding planner is vital to organizing your wedding, your photographer will be more spontaneous, capturing one-of-a-kind moments, many of them intimate, personal and off the cuff. One way for the bride and groom to get to know their photographer is to have engagement photos done. This way you get to have beautiful engagement photos to show your family and friends, and you might also use an engagement photo in your wedding, such as for the guestbook background. Your wedding day will go smoother because you have had an engagement photo session, which made you comfortable and familiar with your photographer.
Tip#4: Maximize your wedding enjoyment by having the details worked out beforehand. Go over with your photographer what you want the overall look to be. Color or black and white? Trendy or traditional? Put together a short list of the must-have family and personal shots you want and take one big family photo. By doing this you give your photographer more time to catch those magical, spontaneous images that will really stand out in your wedding album.
By planning ahead and forming a friendly bond with your wedding photographer, you not only get the best wedding experience to remember for years to come, you also have a professional photographer on hand for future birthday parties, bar bat mitzvahs, pet portraits, graduation photos, corporate head shots, personal portraits and much more.
