A few points to note

1. It's important to note that Wedding Photographers vary widely in their style and approach, so it's always highly advisable that you check out your proposed photographer's website and see examples of their work before booking.

2. Never book solely on a recommendation.  One person's interpretation of great photography is very different from someone else's - always check out their work.

3. It's vital that you ensure your proposed photographer has full indemnity and public liability insurance. 

4. Finally, ensure you meet your photographer face to face before you book.  After all, this person is liklely to be in close proximity to you and your partner for around 6-7 hours (possibly more) of your wedding day.
