Many people consider their wedding photographer to be one of the most important vendors when considering their wedding budget. After all, pictures are all you have left of the memories and they last for generations. You only have one shot at it, so make sure you hire a professional.

A few short paragraphs wont help you decide but some things to consider are film and digital. There are misconceptions about both but high end digital cameras are so close in quality that it shouldn't make any difference, although some film photographers will argue that point

Make sure your photographer has experience, and has a large portfolio to prove it. Ask if your photographer provides the negatives. How much prints cost and if they have online viewing for out of state family. Most importantly get referrals.

When choosing a photographer it is not necessary to choose by location. Rhode Island is so small that many photographers travel from Newport to Providence and some travel as far out as Cape Cod and Boston, Ma.
