I am looking for some advice.
We are celebrating our 25th anniversary this year. We were married right out of university and had a small wedding without any professional photos being done.
I would like to get some photos done. I have looked online at sites of local photographers. There are 4 that sound good to me - I like their portfolios, and the service, product and price.
How do I make the choice? Suggestions?
Chris

^ That's the way. There will be some personalities you just mesh with. Also, do you have any friends that have used the services of one of these people that could give you some idea of what to expect?

Also check and see if any of them are members of PPofA. That's the Professional Photographers of America. It will help you weed out the Mom's with a camera who are just starting out from the true professionals who are in business full time. You can Google PPofA on line and then go by State and it will tell you who is and who isn't. Just an idea.
It won't prove talent per say, but it will show you who's been in the business full time and earns their salary doing photography, not just doing it on the side. Someone who's been in the business for awhile.
