Commissioning a wedding photographer can, and should be an exciting experience. Only a few times in one0s life do families have the need or desire to hire a professional photographer so a little education goes a long way. Most people are photographed by a professional at key moments during childhood. A first birthday, toddler portraits, and some even into their pre-teens. However, school portraits tend to take over for most families. Certainly high school or college graduation should merit a time and money spent for a professional portrait, but nothing is as momentous or meaningful in a family than a wedding, so this is the time to do a little research beyond the surface.
