I am speaking from a photographer's point of view, I will leave flowers to florists.

I hope that most of your immediate questions are answered oun our website or Easy Wedding  Storefront. From there the photographer needs to know how your wedding will run, what time of day, how many guests and most of all what you want to do with the images.  From here the photographer can work with you to make sure you get the imagery you want. No two weddings are the same and each couple and their family will have different ideas about images both in terms of the elements they want covered and the final uses you envisage.

Do you want images of just the wedding itself or the Bride and Groom preparing as well?

Do you want images right to the end of the reception or just up to a chosen point?

Do you want styled images taken on the days before or after the wedding itself?

Aftewards some couples want multiple albums for different family members and large prints while others feel that an album and a few prints are all they need in their family.

Of course you may change some of these things as you discuss possibilities with your photographer but starting the discussion with an idea of what you want helps design a package that will work for you.

This may be similar for a florist that more than asking questions of them think about what you want so you can answer their questions. If you have an idea of a budget you want to stick close tolet us know so we can try and accomodate that as well.

You need two of everything in case there is a problem with one. You cant ask a couple to dedo their vows because your battery ran out.

Some photographers like to have one camera with a long lens and one with a wide angle to be able to quickly change point of view.

I shoot some weddings with two photographers to get different points of view. Again this also covers you in case of any equipment failures. Usually the second photgrapher is only there for the ceremony so the cost isn't that high.

That is up to you. 

For a small intimate wedding a single photographer is usually fine. Once it get's bigger it can be hard for one person to cover everything and in some cases at the key moments celebrants have unexpectedly had the couple turn away from camera, with a second shooter that angle is covered.

Many couples choose to have a second shooter just for the ceremony since that is the part that is not going to wait.
