You only have one chance to get it right and a professional photographer will have the experience and knowledge to cope with all possible eventualities and still turn out a great set of pictures, that you can treasure forever.
So what are your options? You may consider using a friend of the family, or other guest(s) to take images. While the financial aspect of this may seem attractive, its important to consider what experience they have and what they would do should it be raining for example, and all the images have to be taken indoors. Also, how efficient will they be at organising people into groupings, if you should want them. A professional will obviously cost more, but it will be one less thing to worry about on the day.
Having ruled out a non-professional, you may consider a part-time (semi-professional) wedding photographer. They will be cheaper than a full-time professional, but will probably not have the support network that comes with a full-time photographer. They may not have undergone any training and also may flounder when it comes to demanding conditions, such as harsh sunlight, high winds, rain, dark skies, shooting into the sunlight etc.
How do you know how good they really are? They shoot amazing, creative pictures. This will jump out at you when you view a number of different photographer's sample albums.
View samples of complete weddings, not just hightlights of the best. this is very important, as most people would get one or two good shots from every wedding, but you'll want most of your pictures to look fantastic and make YOU look great on your wedding day!
Don't be fooled by presentation. Try to look at the pictures individually and judge them on their own merits and not necessarily on how they are presented.
Also, volume is no subsitute for quality. Today's professional who shoots with a pro digital camera will have the facility to shoot many hundreds of images. The skilled professional will shoot just one or two images of each different 'scene', meaning that they will use their creative skill and the available time to look for new and creative shots.
