Some people argue this is not necessary and that modern technology such as cameras on smart phones have rendered professionals obsolete. Whereas in the earlier era of camera technology few people could afford professional standard cameras they are now relatively a lot easier to get hold of. Furthermore the software in order to edit those pictures are also easily accessible.
However that is a bit like saying you could run a restaurant because you know how to cook pasta! There is a difference between being able to take a picture and doing so to a professional standard. When it comes to a wedding it is important to make the day look as good as possible.
You may be lucky enough to know a friend or family member who is a photographer. There is an argument that you could save money by using them. However there is the potential awkwardness that comes when you look at their pictures and you decide you do not want to order more copies from them.
The reason is that a professional knows when to take advantage of the right light conditions and when to take photos. It is also important to emphasise that it is up to you. You may only want a professional there for the formal pictures or you may want them there for the entire ceremony.
However other people may prefer a more informal approach. Often these pictures are the ones that people argue are more authentic. It is hard to plan moments when a child will look cute for the camera or a shot where everyone is dancing together because these things cannot really be planned.
In practise an experienced photographer will often do both. It is possible to capture the formal nature of a ceremony as well as get shots of the sillier or more relaxed moments that can happen between the speeches and the planned parts of a ceremony. Generally this is why it helps to have someone with the appropriate experience to be able to both set up shots and adapt in the moment as they are required to do so.
Three is a good number when it comes to comparing photographers because it allows you to compare prices without being overloaded with information. Plus the fact is there is a lot to organise during a wedding and it is worth simplifying the decision making process where you can. You can find websites for professionals in your area using your regular search engine as well as finding reviews and feedback from people who have used their services in the past in order to find the ideal photographer to suit your needs.
