Best advice when choosing a photographer? By Amy Wilson Photo

What is the best advice you can give us?
Perhaps two advices that I think would be helpful.

First: 
By planning the Ceremony during daylight hours and making sure the Reception lighting is not completely dimmed you will help your photographer to minimize the use of flashes. Your photographs will look more attractive plus your guests will suffer less from blinding flashes.

The second advice is: 
Try to limit the guest photography. Especially when it interferes with professional photographer. The atmosphere of your Ceremony affected already by the presence of hired photographers, assistants and videographers. Now imagine guests standing around you entire Ceremony with flashing and beeping consumer cameras, preventing a photographer from taking important images and ruining your elegant ceremony atmosphere. Imagine also the traditional posed photos, your photographer will be taking, competing with a number of paparazzi guests trying to get an attention of your family during that time. It not only will distract the subject(s) from looking at the main camera, but will also extend the session itself, taking away valuable time could be spent with family and guests.
