The most important thing to look for when hiring your photographer should be that you absolutely like their work and style. Photographer Photography is a very emotional and visual medium.

You should be very comfortable with them. Talent, skills and style come with experience. You need to personally view work samples and albums. Check to see if they have a weddings website online and if so, check it out.
