Each Photographer has his or her own distinct style, which is reflected in the photographer's portfolio of work. Before you choose a photographer, decide on the photographic style you prefer, and then seek out those photographer's whose work reflects that style.
Traditional:
A traditional photographer generally treats every image as a poised portrait, even shots you may think of as candid. That doesn't mean that the pictures will appear forced or posed, but that they will likely be few spontaneous "Action shots" included in the mix. Traditional wedding photographers look to capture perfect moments with artistry and dignity and generally produce excellent, albeit formulaic shots of the wedding party, families and planned events.
These photographers specialize in expertly composed, well lit portraits. They try to keep an unobtrusive presence at the reception in order to set up classical images. You won't find them mingling or telling your guests to "Look at the camera" to come up with magical moments.
Photojournalistic or Reportage:
A wedding photographer who takes a photojournalistic approach is one who considers it is the photographer's job to record events, not stage them. This photographer will take group shots you want, but will mostly include candid and spontaneous images.
Commercial:
These photographers will perfectly capture shots of the centerpieces, cakes, flowers and decor and could be hired just for this purpose supplemented by another photographer to handle "people pictures." This type of photographer is a professional and capable of taking magazine quality images.
Photographic artist:
A photographic artist rarely takes traditional shots but prefers to find artistic way to photograph elements, people and events. the artist is adept in the medium of black and white and at producing beautifully composed photos, likely to be less candid than full of drama and artistic beauty.
Remember A picture is worth a thousand words!
