Finding the right photographer can be as individual a choice as finding the right dress, shoe or ring. Unfortunately, unlike the right dress, shoe or ring, you can’t see what you’re paying for or try it on for size. Some people are happy with handing a camera to a friend with a “good eye” while others scour the local phone books, reference pages, etc. for everything from stills to video options.

Iqphoto.com has some very good advice on questions to ask and procedures to follow when considering the candidates. There is also a link to an absolutely beautiful gallery. While you’re there, take a moment to view the video of the traditional Indian wedding. I almost felt like I had been a guest! Lovely work!

And for more comparison, check out the stunning “first-ever” 10 best photographer list from PopPhoto.com. Check out the slideshows and websites too! But be warned, you’ll be there quite a while.

As I personally have not a smidge of photographical talent (I’m lucky I remember to take my finger from in front of the lens!), I was blown away by the variety and uniqueness of the presentations.

Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Try to find a photographer whose eye is seeing on your level!
