Everything changes after getting engaged.  I know from personal experience that a girl who has never before cared much about clothes and fancy parties can quickly turn into a bride who agonizes over finding the perfect dress, the perfect rings, the perfect venues and even the perfect wedding invitations.  But regardless of whether you decide you can’t live without the monogrammed napkins or if your style calls for a simple but elegant wedding, your wedding day will be one of the most amazing, emotional days of your life.  You will want to remember every detail of this day for years to come, and you will want a keepsake to look back on and to share with your children and grandchildren years from now.  It is so important to find a photographer who will capture every detail your wedding day with style, because the day will come and go before you know it, and you’ll be left with happy memories and your wedding pictures.   Because wedding photographs last a lifetime, I truly believe the wedding photographer is the second most important decision you will make for your wedding (of course the most important decision is your spouse-to-be!).  But if you’re not a photographer or a photo-enthusiast yourself, you may not know what to look for in finding the perfect wedding photographer.  I’ve put together a checklist you can use to help find a photographer that will give you wedding photographs to treasure for a lifetime.
