Everything about your day will be absolutely picture perfect, so having the shots to show it off for years to come is a definite necessity. But choosing a photographer can be tough given the vast numbers of talented professionals that are available to capture your special moments.

Now is the time to begin researching the photographic professional that can best adhere to your unique style. After all, these are the images that will stay with you throughout your marriage, making your big day a lasting memory for the two of you to share forever.

Choosing a Photographer

Lets get things started by first deciding what kind of photographic style you are looking for on your wedding day. There are a few different types of photographers from which to choose, including a traditional photographer, photojournalist and one who likes to mix it up.

A traditional photographer will get you all of the posed shots you could ever want. Group photos and still pictures of the bride and groom are the types of images this kind of photographer will offer. If you appreciate a more candid style of photography, then you may want to consider a photojournalist. He or she will be able to capture all of the special moments between the two of you without you ever knowing he or she is snapping away.

But if you would like a bit of both -- some posed shots with grandma and photos of the two of you giggling -- then go with a photographer who shows you a portfolio that features a mixed bag. He or she will be able to nab all of those shots.

Finding the One

Once you have an idea of the style you are seeking in mind, then it is time to put together a list of the photographers you would like to meet and scope out their work. Here are a few Ohio photographers that you may want to add to you meet and greet list:

• Ashley Short Photography, Northwest Ohio
• BCR Studios Photography, Columbus
• Bella Pictures, Cincinnati
• Cherished Memories Photography, Columbus
• Cherished Memories Photography, Loveland
• Imageartist.net, Westerville
• J.A.Y.S. Photography, Columbus

• The Photography Warehouse, Cleveland
• White Lotus Studios, Cincinnati and Dayton

The Perfect Setting

After you have chosen a photographer, it would not be a bad idea to stop by your ceremony and reception venues to check out some prime spots for picture taking. Look for areas littered with flowers and greenery, fabulous backdrops (like the Columbus city skyline) and areas that highlight the architecture that surrounds the location of your big day. Keep religious constructions, the local park and even fun photo ops, like the playground slide and swings in mind. And, of course, take advantage of the fabulous Ohio natural scenery. No matter the season, the fall trees, spring florals and winter wonderland are all fabulous in the Buckeye State.
