CAUTION !!!   A  WORD  OF  WARNING !!!

Shooting a "wedding" is NOT for "every" photographer. It can be VERY stressful if the photographer doesn't have enough experience with "weddings." If documenting your wedding day in a magnificent way is one of the most important elements of your wedding I highly recommend you research the person or business thoroughly. Despite that it may "appear " as though shooting a wedding is easy it's anything but, it's actually on the list of  " Most Stressful but Most Rewarding Careers."
No matter who you hire as your wedding photographer  Most great wedding photographers charge more NOT because their ego tells them their worth it (and they are!) but because proper preparation takes extra time; having the best back gear and add'l assistants, using the best custom photo labs for processing and custom printing, master retouching and color enhancement, and providing the best, most beautiful albums cost time and money. Period. Anyone charging less has GOT to be is cutting corners someplace to survive. There is just no way around it. "You get what you pay for" is really true in this business. As glamorous as it may "look" shooting a wedding takes a lot of mental creative, physical, psychological and emotional energy to be a part of such an incredible event. A great wedding photographer must be a great multi - tasker, flexible and sensitive to the emotions of the day, technically proficient, artistically creative, socially warm, funny & professional and have confident, leadership qualities! It takes a lot! A GREAT photographer is prepared on prepared on all levels. 
A GREAT photographer can make a quantity of consistent, amazing images every time!
