Here is my advice to you as you start to shop.
1). Figure out what will need. If you just ask for a price, there may be things you will need that are not included. Engagement sessions, CD with copyright release, published albums are all things that may or may not be included in basic pricing.
2). Set your budget. Photography is one of those things that higher prices does not necessarily mean better photography. There are expensive photographers that you won't like, and affordable photographers who you may love. Shop around, and compare styles, not just prices.
3). Look for someone who is dedicated. With the economy being what it is, many people have recently became a "pro" photographer. People who do it as a second job may not be able to dedicate the time your photo project deserves. Look for experience! The technology of the digital camera is amazing, but it still boils down to having a good eye, and an artistic style. I started my career with film cameras, so I have learned about light, composition, and how a camera works.
4). Call me, and see if we can work something out.
