Wedding imagery is broadly categorized into two styles. There is the posed style where you stop and pose for photos against a certain background. On the other hand, there is the documentary style where the photographer does not interrupt the vent to take photos but takes shots as the wedding progresses. The style you choose depends on the results you expect to see. Hire someone who understands the style you prefer and is good at it.

Also a picture is able to capture the mood of an event. Images for an event like this should have a happy and romantic mood.
