1) Experience: How long has the photographer been photographing weddings? Experience is important, you can't redo you wedding day if the photographer makes a mistake. Likewise if the wedding photographer has been photographing weddings for 20 years they might not have kept up with current styles or tends and your wedding album might look dated.

2) Personality: Do you really want to spend your wedding day with someone who annoys you, tells cheesy jokes, or who is awkward? Some photographers aren't romantic, they just take good pictures. Make sure to meet in person or at least Skype with the wedding photographer before hiring them. You will quickly learn if you are a right fit.

3) Style: Look carefully at the photographer's current portfolio. Do they mostly shoot formal posed images but you love the documentary style, then they might not be a good fit. If you are putting a ton of time into all your wedding details make sure their detail images look like they came from a magazine.

4) Budget: There is a huge price range in what Utah wedding photographer charge. I've seen professional wedding photographers in ...
... Utah charge anywhere from $400 for 1.5 hours to $10,000 for a dream package that comes with everything you could want for. To get the best value I suggest hiring a photographer that charges per hour. This way you can pick the most important parts of you day i.e ceremony, family pictures and reception without paying for the whole day.

5) Copyrights: Do you own the rights to your wedding images or does the photographer? Do you have to ask permission to display an image anywhere other than your home?

6) Flexible: Is the photographer flexible? If you can order a salad with no onions and dressing on the side shouldn't you be able to customize a wedding package too? If you and the photographer are a great fit with a few exceptions see if they can meet you in the middle.

7) Editing: This is a person preference. Just like fashion, photography trends go in and out of style. For example: If you ask a professional photographer what they think about selective coloring (a black and white image with a small part in color) they will tell you that it is tacky, dated and they only do it by request. However these same photographers will edit all of their images in a treaty vintage toning. In a few years these images will look dated. Look for photographers that edit at least 80% of their images in classic style that will last.

8) Number of images: How many images do they take? A photographer should be able to tell you the average number of images per hour they take. What is more important is how many of those images will you get? Some photographers edit and airbrush every image so you end up with fewer images.
