The Contract
Once you choose your photographer, get a written contract.  This should specify the time your
photographer is to arrive, how long the photographer stays, and the delivery date of your
photos.  Let them know important people and moments you definitely want captured!  It's also
important to be clear about your timeline.  
Timeline Tricks
Don't let your photographer take advantage of you with shoot time, taking you away from your
wedding.  But also be flexible with your expectations of what they can shoot for you an your
allotted time frame.  Doing a "first look" can drastically cut down photography time between
the ceremony and reception.  It will give you tons of time for great photos and still allow you to
enjoy cocktail hour and get the party started on time.
