Of all those you hire to be a part of your wedding day, none has a more lasting role than your photographer. The wedding pictures, in the end, are all that's left of the day after the food's eaten and the dancing's done. The choice of photographer is one of the most important decisions you'll make as you plan the festivities.

• Documenting the day. There are two basic photography styles: Traditional, in which nearly all the photos are posed to some degree, and photojournalistic, in which the photographer acts as an observer, shooting events as they happen naturally. Get an idea of which style you prefer by looking through friends' albums, examining print ads or surfing photographers' Internet sites.
• Don't delay. It's never too early to start looking for the right photographer. Some Central Ohio shutterbugs begin filling in-demand dates more than a year in advance, so it's a good idea to start the search as soon as possible after the date's been set.
• Everything old is new again. For a wedding album work of art, consider black and white photography. Many local couples are returning to this timeless art form for photos emphasizing candid pictures that never go out of style—your photos will look as classic and elegant as those of your grandparents.
