When should you book your wedding photographer?

I get asked this question all the time. Some brides may think a year in advance is to long. The most desired wedding days fall on the month of May through Aug. That is four months and only 16 Saturdays. Just in the state of Vermont there were 5971 weddings in 2005. When you have set your wedding date and decided on your wedding photographer, how many brides are planning to have their wedding the same day as you? You can take a chance and hope you don’t hear, “sorry that date is taken”. Do you really want to take a chance on one of the most important days in your life?
