One can be surprised by some of the criteria the bride and groom use to choose their wedding photographer. Here are the top 7 mistakes many of them make when selecting a photographer for their wedding day (by no means is this a comment on the state of Minnesota wedding photography):1. RELYING ON WEDDING VENDOR REFERRALS. Many wedding vendors trade referrals with other wedding professionals with no real knowledge of the other’s work. 2. JUDGING A PHOTOGRAPHER BASED SOLELY ON A "GREATEST HITS" WEDDING ALBUM PORTFOLIO. A good wedding photographer should be able to produce a number of complete albums, which will give you a better idea of how your own wedding will be photographed. 3. PAYING TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO THE SALES PITCH. A photographer who asks you lots of questions about your wedding and your preferences will probably also be more likely to listen to you and have a better sense of what you want. 4. NOT ASSESSING THE PHOTOGRAPHER’S PERSONALITY. You will spend the entire day with your photographer and if you don’t get along with them, it can ruin what should be the happiest day of your life. Find a photographer who is easy to talk to and who you can establish good rapport with.
