Lots of good advice here.
We found an amateur (I think it was a friend of a friend) whom we spoke with and felt comfortable with. It was a fairly casual arrangement.
We gave her a small wad of cash and she shot the ceremony and whatnot in color with an SLR (which didn't bother me in the least) and shot the reception in B&W with a Hasselblad.
We bought the initial batch of prints from her and have the contact sheets, and negs too.
My only regret is not more clearly specifying when prints. etc. would come back; I think we waited for like 6-9 months (!) to get them, but it all turned out well.
