1. Check with family members and personal friends to see if they know of a photographer. You might be pleasantly surprised by the response you get.  If you find a good lead through family and friends, give the photographer a call and get some prices. Always try to negotiate a good deal.

2. Ask the photographer if they will be using a digital or film camera? A lot of photographers still use film to shoot weddings and that’s not a bad thing. A good photographer can do amazing things with a film camera. Some believe film has a nicer quality than digital photos.

Film can be very expensive so look for ways to cut cost. If you know you want to use a film camera to shoot your wedding, ask the photographer about ways to cut cost. Can you get film at a discount if you buy it in bulk? A lot of photographers use digital and film cameras.

They might split the day and shoot the cutting of the cake with a digital camera and family shots using a film camera. Make it known you want to save money and you prefer the cheapest way of having your wedding shot. I would think digital is the cheapest format to use today.

3. Whether you choose a digital or film camera, find out what kind of lighting is needed and will be provided to get good exposure to digital or film shoots. The last thing you want is to have wedding photos that come out dark.

Another great wedding photo list must is to make sure your photographer has a back-up camera in case the digital camera fails. It also won’t hurt to have a few disposable cameras around.
