Capturing your special event through pictures is a big deal, and not something to be taken lightly - there is so much to consider when planning this aspect of the day. Depending on how much time you have given yourself, the photographer you want may not be available, but I encourage you to be open to trying different studios, even if your friends haven't recommended them or they are "new in town." It is important, for sure to have a look at their portfolios and to meet with the actual photographers to get a sense of their personalities and style of photography. You will be spending a great deal of time with these people in intimate settings, therefore, you need to be comfortable with them.
Once you have made your decision and chosen your photographer, they will likely ask you to give them a list of "must-have" pictures to be taken: including people's names and settings. On the big day, they will be able to call out the names of people that they need, without you having to worry about finding them and forgetting anyone...you have so much going on, it's great to reflect on what pictures you will want to cherish before the big day arrives.
One of my only regrets from my own wedding is not getting a group shot with all of our guests (especially since many forgot to also sign our guest book!) I found the super-cute above picture online and thought it was such a unique way to capture the group. A nice deviation from the usual shot of church steps. Check if your venue has a balcony or set of stairs that your photographer can climb in order to get this type of shot. The group could be arranged in any shape or monogram...I love it! Put this one on your "must-have" list for sure!
