What to look for in a Wedding photographer?

Hi all

I'm getting married summer 2014 and was wondering what I should look for in a wedding photographer? I know I should look at a portfolio of work I guess but anything else?

Also any idea on cost? It would be the the whole day from 11am until 8pm I guess...

Thanks

Try to view the photos as a complete set from individual weddings.

Someone in the game for 10 years doing 50 weddings. A year even if they re terrible ill have amazed hundreds of great photos by chance. A great photographer will get lots of great photos in each and every wedding. Also, nothing stops photographers paying for stock photos to put n their web page portfolio, word of mouth is best. I you know a couple who like heir tog go and see their album.

This seems like a good plan and I did not think of it....thanks for advice
