Tip of the Day: In the months leading up to your big day, subscribe to prospective photographer's blogs so you can stay up-to-date with their work and get some photo ideas, too. "This will help you determine if their work is consistent, and you'll be able to see how they shoot in many different scenarios — including dark receptions! Make sure their vision and style fits your own, whether it's film-inspired, has a photojournalistic approach, or classically romantic," says Chandra Yarter from Chandra's Collection Photography.
