It never hurts to start seeking out a michigan wedding photographer and videographer as soon as you are engaged, if you are getting married within the next year.  If you have a larger budget and want the best, remember that the in-demand professionals get booked up to a year in advance.  If you’re planning a summer wedding, it is especially important to book early.

You can find wedding photographer and wedding videographer listings in a few places.   If you live near a city, check for local wedding expos.  It’s convenient for you because so many different vendors gather in one location, and convenient for the vendors as well.  Flip through photo books, and determine if a particular photographer’s style matches your own.  Videographers will often have a screen showing their work.

Talk to your recently married friends, and find out if they can offer a personal recommendation.  Many photographers and videographers depend on word-of-mouth to get new clients.     Most people love breaking out their wedding  albums and videos, so it certainly won’t be an imposition.

The local phone book is a natural place to find listings as well, although it is the most sight-unseen method of finding a professional.  It requires more legwork when doing research.  Thankfully, we live in the Internet age, though, and most companies maintain a website, complete with sample photos and videos.  It’s still a good idea to visit companies in person, though, to see the photos in real life.  The web is not always able to capture the true character and texture of good photos and video work.
