There are so many amazing wedding photographers out there, it is hard to know who to pick.  I have worked with hundreds of wedding photographers,  and I feel that the single most important thing for a bride and groom to consider is style.  Look at as many portfolios as you can and you should get a positive gut feeling for one or two that seem to capture exactly the look that you want, whether it is reportage, artistic, traditional or a mix of various styles.

I chose an unconventional photographer for my wedding, and while many of my family members opted for prints of the more traditional poses he covered, I still look back at the amazing and creative shots that I chose for my final enlargements and am so glad that I didn't opt for the a photographer would would only capture 'kiss at the aisle' and 'first dance' type shots.

Of course there are other factors that should play in your decision too, such as experience, value for money, and services offered.

Over the next few weeks, I will be looking at a wide range of wedding photographers from around the world in order to showcase some of the various talents and styles available to you.  I'll also make some notes on why they are great photographers, giving you an idea of things to look out for when visiting photographers in your own area.

Remember that your wedding photographer is one of the most important suppliers that you will hire,  so make it a priority to start looking early to make sure that you can work your favorite pick into your budget, and he can work you into his schedule.
