More subtle is that different photographers are better at different things. For example, my daughter chose one photographer to take the outdoor ceremony pictures at the Boardwalk hotel at noon and another to take the dessert reception pictures during the EPCOT fireworks display at night. Why? Because the second photographer has the reputation as taking great fireworks pictures--and he lived up to that.

If you can, take the time to find out which photographers take great pictures at your winery and what time of day and where on the site. Encourage them to take shots beforehand and let you see them. You may have a need for these kind of photos, too.

Remember, after the wedding all the memories are in the pictures. You want people to be able to show great shots to their friends and relatives, so you want the best photographers to do the work--not necessarily the cheapest.

Check out the local photography Facebook pages. That's one way my daughter researched photographers.

We've actually already done this with a few photographers. Should be getting some back pretty soon.
