4. Email the photographers that you like most and ask to see an entire wedding gallery shot by the photographer that will shoot your wedding
5. Ask an estimate, avoid to complex estimate with hidden costs, an estimate has to be clear
6. Try to meet the photographer for your destination wedding or at least make a phone call, remember that usually the wedding photographer is the person that will spend more time with the bride
