As important as it is to like a photographers style and quality, and as important as budget is, it is equally important to find a photographer that you actually like. By like, I mean that you should like them as you do any of your friends. If you do think of them as a friend, you will actually create a bond with them. This bond shows in all of the photos, even the ones that you aren't in (in example shots of details, guests, and more.) Photography is all about emotion, and your photographer will be more creative and more determined to do a great job for you if they feel close to you. I know that it is a business relationship, but it can be a friendship as well. Photography is the most important investment you will make for your wedding, as it is the only thing left once the cake is enjoyed, guests are gone home, dress is cleaned and packed away. The photographer will be with you the longest period of time that day, other than maybe your coordinator/consultant. Your album will show more affection, excitement, emotion, and passion if you and your photographer truly enjoy eachother's presence before and during the wedding.
Engagement sessions really help create this friendship, which is top reason why I recommend engagement shoots.
When you spend tons of time planning, tons of money on the bar bill, keep in mind the one thing you will get to take home other than your new spouse-- your photos!
