You may have seen that movie where Jeniffer Lopez played a wedding planner for one of the biggest wedding planning businesses in San Francisco. While this movie may seem way too much in some aspects, the job of a wedding planner is actually real.

If you are planning your own wedding, or even considering becoming a Wedding Planner yourself, take a look at some the things below. This is a snap shot of how professional wedding planners work. Apply it to your circumstance and your sure to be on your way.

There are people out there who make a decent living setting up weddings for couples who do not have an inkling as to how they are supposed to make their special day become a reality. Entering the wedding planning business is no easy task, but if other people can do it, then so can you.

You should start off with an outline of what weddings need. Making a list of the essential elements of a wedding will help you map out your next moves. You can then start assembling your price listings for certain wedding packages and start canvassing for the needs that come with a wedding planning business.

You will need to establish contacts with florists, bakers, churches, reception venues, caterers, dress and gown designers and tux rental shops. You will also need to get in touch with limousine services, bands, ice sculpture makers and calligraphers or printers.

You will need to scope out these sources for your wedding essentials and get from them the best possible prices and price listings for the items and services you will need once you have a client.

You can always start with a wedding planning event for a friend or a member of the family to get your feet wet, so to speak. You can create a wedding plan presentation for your first client by talking about what they want their wedding to be all about, the color scheme they want and everything else that their big day requires. You will need to keep track of all that they need and the schedules for the other pre-wedding events and needs, therefore a file folder for the couple as well as a date book is one of the things you need to have.

Look through some of the wedding planning sites online to help you gain a little perspective on the business and to help you figure out what your next step will be.

There are three main things to consider when choosing your photographer.

First your photographer should be ethical and professional. You must be able to trust your photographer to treat you fairly and honestly. When looking to engage the services of a professional in any industry, it's important to deal with individuals who adhere to a code of ethics and business practice

Second, you should like your photographer personally. You and your family are going to spend the most important day of your life with this photographer, so it's important that you all get along together. You are going to spend a large part of your wedding day with your photographer. Do you enjoy their company, what about personality, their dress sense, what about their manners and their presence. Will your photographer dominate the wedding or fit in with your guests.. Choosing a photographer who is on your wavelength is extremely important.

Third, your photographer needs to be an expert at photography. He or she must be able to capture fantastic images, that you will treasure for ever. It is important that your photographer can produce the types of images you like. Ask questions about the particular images you like and whether it is possible to produce a similar result at your wedding.

Don't forget to shop around as the deals on offer will vary considerably. Google is a great place to start but word of mouth is always best when it comes to such personal memories.

I trust this helps.

Choosing photographs that match your personality and lifestyle.

When you look at what you wore to your year 10 formal, you realise that styles change quickly - and sometimes for the better!

In wedding photography, there is a large range of styles from the elegantly simple and timeless to the bold, innovative and contemporary. Photographic style describes the look of your photographs - modern, traditional, formal, casual, posed or candid. It also refers to the personality that an individual photographer brings to the images. Some photographers have a great eye for composition and design, others are able to anticipate special moments better than others. All these nuances combine to create distinctive photographic styles - but the distinctions can be quite subtle, especially if you've out visiting half a dozen photographers.

A Traditional wedding Style
Although formal, images are these have incredible importance in a wedding album. Even if only from a historical perspective.

A Contemporary wedding style
Give your photographer the freedom to experiment a little and you will be well rewarded with some exciting imagery.

The Photojournalistic Style
If you're not into posing for the camera, but want an interesting and memorable wedding album.

This style will truthfully record your wedding day and many things you yourself may not have seen.

The best approach is a combination of all styles where you and the photographer discuss what's important for your wedding album. For instance, it's important to have some traditional photographs, even if only to keep your parents happy - they may be expecting some formal portraits. It's also important to have some real photographs of what happened on the day, so a photographer with photojournalistic skills is important. But the reality is most people will want contemporary album with a modern feel to it. This can be easily achieved by mixing the photographic styles and taking the time to discuss and explain exactly what you want with your photographer.

I trust this helps you.

Take care.
