HELP!!! need to choose a photographer

Any suggestions, tips, advice on choosing my photographer?? I am looking at a private photographer Janet Johnston (did my friend's wedding), or Essence (larger company with lots of photographers available, no one has used them that I know personally) Price wise the larger company is obviously cheaper than a private photographer.  i need help!!! any reviews on Eric Lipe from Essence?

    Try posting on your local board.  But just my $.02--you will spend alot of time with your photographer on your wedding day.  My photographer was like a dear friend even though I had only met her twice before the wedding--I can't imagine having a total stranger that just happens to work for a large photography company show up on the most important day of your life not knowing anything about you.  Maybe it works for some, but It's just not the same to me.

    My husband and I used for our wedding Unforgettable Pictures.  We loved our wedding pictures and they included a beautiful flush mount album in the package.
