Ability in Wet and dry conditions counts. You need to have confidence in your photographers' ability to get great shots under any conditions. Getting great shots in perfect conditions is one thing but to get them on (heaven forbid) a rainy, windy or overcast day is another. That confidence will give you peace of mind despite the conditions. There is enough stress with out having to worry about your photographer.

Personality Counts?

You will probably spend more time with your photographer on your wedding day than your parents!

You need to make sure that:

1. they don't irritate you!!

2. they are sensitive enough not to become the center of attention at the service.

3. they actually listen to YOU and capture the day as you want.

Rehearsals

It is important that your photographer comes to your rehearsal because:

1. They find out what is going on and where the need to stand.

2. They meet the whole bridal party which will make them more relaxed in the formal photos.

3. They meet the minister/celebrant, who can occasionally be very particular about the behaviour of the photographer. This meeting assures mutual understanding.

4. There are a few things photographers need to prep the couple on so that verbal communication with the photographer during the service is not required.
