What styles of wedding photography are there?
Artistic
This is where the photographer has developed their own personal style which may be unique and particular to them only.
Example:

Documentary
Documentary style photographers are like photo journalists, they try and tell a story while capturing exactly what occurred and usually without directing or staging any photos.
Example:

Fine Art
Fine Art wedding photographers tend to shoot in an editorial style, with lots of back light and often on Film (Contax 645 anyone?).

How much does wedding photography cost?
As with everything it depends on what you want to pay. There are "wedding photographers" out there for $100. And there are photographers at the other extreme, $20,000, $50,000, or $100,000 for a wedding is not unheard of. It's not always a case of you get what you pay for, but to some degree that adage can be relied on. Is a $100,000 photographer twice as good as a $50,000 photographer? No but maybe their value lies elsewhere? Some people are willing to pay $50,000 extra to have a famous photographer at their wedding.
Excluding the superstar photographers or destination photographers who will fly anywhere, prices of everyday, professional wedding photographers varies according to the region. The best thing for you to do is email a few photographers who work in the region you are getting married and ask.
How does wedding photography work?
Shortlisting your wedding photographer choices should be your first step. To get a feel for the quality of the best wedding photographers look here: The 100 Best Wedding Photographers in the World.
Once you have shortlisted and ultimately chosen your photographer they will take over the management of you as client. Don't be shy to negotiate or ask for clarity on anything you are unsure of - you are the paying client. We have heard every question but don't mind answering them again.
Pay the photographer, sign agreements, get your photos.
Remember, treat the photographer nicely and you will get more out of your photographer. We are people and if you treat us poorly we will be professional but not go above and beyond.
How has wedding photography changed?
To some degree professional wedding photographers used to be the laughing stock of photographers. It was viewed as the lowest form of bread and butter work. Many photographers would shoot weddings for money but not publicise this.
Increasingly wedding photography has risen above its past and is now an active and popular pursuit for many talented photographers. The days of corny photos and squeaky shoes is gone, modern wedding photographers shoot in a variety of styles (see What Styles of Wedding Photographer are there? above) and at an accomplished technical level.
