You have the 'perfect' man. You've got your 'this-is-the-one' dress. You've secured the perfect wedding location. Now all you need is someone to capture the memories that will last a lifetime. Here are eight ways to ensure you get the best images on your wedding day.

- Narrow it down to about 3 choices and interview each one.
- Look at their portfolios. Ask to see samples of their work, albums and slideshows. Do they have a wide range of work? Do they have a website?
- Ask to see a whole wedding they've shot, not just a few pictures. You may come to find out later that they may not work well under certain conditions, and you don't want to find out the hard way.
- Find out what can they offer you. Is it a style that you prefer? Can they tailor their style to meet your needs? Find someone who is willing to work with you, not against you.
