Know that marriage photography is both a business and a vocation. Marriage photography is a business, and professional marriage photography is one of the hardest and stressful disciplines in the game. You need to choose a professional, who is a good in business and photography. I am not talking about profits here; I am talking about the way they run the business. You need to look at the business and think - will they be here in 5 -10 years time, when I have lost my disk, and I want a re-print.

They are mismatched with the professional. Match your style with theirs. Please don't expect or ask a professional to do or be something other than what they are or what you see in their work. Ask the professional what their style is. Are they traditional? Are they photojournalistic? Important to know, so you can match what you want with who they are.

The first thing to do is look at his website but do NOT be fooled into thinking this is the be all and end all. Always concentrate on the images and not the website design.

And commodities fall into a category that says "all things are the same, find the best price - which makes sense when you are shopping for a car or a certain brand name item.
