This is unrelated to the camera thread I started earlier.

In April I'll be getting married - in Portugal. We have a handful of people coming with us from Canada and we'll be joined in Lagos, Algarve by additional family and friends mostly from the Lisbon area.

The ceremony will be on the beach and dinner in the resort's restaurant which is also on the beach. The beach club is called Duna Beach Club and it's actually 2km from the hotel where the rooms are. We'll be at the resort for only 4 days, the rest of our 3 week trip being spent in Lisbon and traveling the country side (we'll be driving the entire length of the country).

I've just started the process of looking for photographers located in Portugal. First concentrating on those local to the Algarve region and I'll now expand to look toward Lisbon.

I'd be really interested in any tips anyone can give on criteria to help narrow the choices and finally pick an individual/company to go with. I know what kinds of pictures I like and can evaluate a portfolio, but looking at a limited number of gallery images on the web can't tell the whole story. Apart from that I don't really know much about wedding photography. What questions should I ask the potential photographers as I'm interviewing them (over the web and likely over the phone)?

If anyone knows of any photogs in Portugal, even if it's only through your superior Google-fu, please let me know. These are the ones I've bookmarked so far (I didn't bother bookmarking two others and skipped anyone I found that doesn't specialize in weddings):

Pink Imaging
Photo Events
Blush Photography (they operate in Algarve as well as the UK - Algarve site with images of the photographer's own wedding there)
