Selecting the right photographer can be a daunting task, especially considering most individuals experience only one wedding in their lifetime. The responsibility falls on the chosen photographer to capture the moments that will become cherished memories. 

Don't be swayed by a large social media following or an impressive portfolio alone, as these may not guarantee a positive experience. Remember, your photographer will be in closest proximity to you and your loved ones, and their personality matters as much as their skill. 

A friendly and professional photographer can make your photo sessions more enjoyable and genuine. Take the time to ask relevant questions and be attentive to any red flags during the selection process. Interview several photographers.

Your choice of a photographer can significantly impact the atmosphere and quality of your wedding photos, choose wisely. Feel free to use these questions (and add any more that you can think off)
