The answer should be: VERY Important. I would only get one chance (hopefully) of capturing my wedding day, so it is wise to have a professional wedding photographer for what is going to be a priceless moment. I want to look back fondly and remember just how perfect my wedding was, how happy all of my family and friends were and I don’t want to look back regretfully having to wished I could have hired an experienced, professional photographer. It’s fine to have family and friends bring a camera and take photos of their own, but at the end of the day having professional quality photos taken using professional equipment will produce results that I will be able to treasure for years and even share with my future generations. I will spend many months planning my wedding, and it will cost many dollars, for just one special day, I think of all the planning that goes into this one day, it is an event like no other. The wedding day is the start of the rest of my and my fiancee lives together. There are so many great photo opportunities at a wedding that do not present ourselves in many other occasions. When it comes to wedding photography it is important to me to chose the best photographer for my unique wedding. Each photographer has their own style, I would let my photographer know what I want and what I expect to get great images that I will be very grateful and happy with. Only my wedding day, the photographer will be 100% focused on me through all of the moments. They may take photos of my flowers, the table plans, the decorations, but they will always know where I am and when, right up until it’s time to leave. A great photographer will be able to present my images in a professional and beautiful way, putting together a full story of my big day. Whichever way I want to look at it, wedding photographers will always be an essential element for my wedding package..if not one of the most Important parts of my package! My photographs WILL be how I'll remember my wedding years from the time of my wedding.
