Don't be like me, I cheaped out and hired a guy just out of art school. His portfolio was good and his pitch was reasonable, but he just wasn't able to deliver. His photos were fine, but he took soooo long taking them, wasting time on our wedding day. He wasn't able to –or at least, he didn't– edit them to the level discussed in the pitch. And he took zero candids.

Thankfully, my sister-in-law bought dozens of disposable cameras and left them on each table. The guests took some amazing pictures of each other and of us, and all but one of our favorites came that way. Even if you have the best photographer in the world, I recommend doing this, you'll at the very least get some glimses of moments that you'll be too busy to witness in person at the time.

We did the disposable camera thing too, and out of them we got zero good shots from them. I don't regret doing that, but I also don't recommend it.
