Today we'll explore a roadmap to hiring your perfect wedding photographer - where to look, questions to ask, and key negotiations to pose before signing a contract.

Really think about it - you're going to spend most of your wedding day with this person RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE, and finding someone who you're 100% comfortable with is SO IMPORTANT. 

Your photographer will probably see you in your underwear, will be inches away from your first kiss, and will tag along behind your every move for 12+ hours on the big day.  So yeah, make sure you really, really like this person!

I also share an often-overlooked element of wedding day photography - the 100's of priceless candid photos your GUESTS will snap on your big day!  Details about creating a candid photo gallery with Tacboard here:
