HIGHLIGHTS FOR THIS EPISODE: HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER FOR YOU

Today's topic is important because if you're like most couples, you're going to book your wedding photographer first after the venue and wedding planner. Sometimes even before your wedding planner! But since it's early in the wedding planning process, you don’t have a lot of experience booking wedding vendors, so you're still getting used to the process.

And even if you've already booked your photographer, this episode is still relevant when booking other vendors, too.
