If you guys are not going to see each other before the wedding I would have two but one of them for half a day. That way you can have pics of both of you getting ready.

If you will be seeing each other I think you only need 1

A photographer put it like this to me: Under 200, you really only need 1 photographer....HOWEVER if you want photojournalistic/candid shots then you need another photographer. You have one for the artsy shots and another for regular shots. Since it was important to us to have all those candid shots, we choose to hire 2 photographers.

i booked with one and then added a 2nd....we're having about 160 but i read that a lot of girls wished they had 2, for emotional pic purposes and candids. 1 photographer just cant be in 2 places at one time

I really want to get two for this reason- one person cant be 2 places at once. I know my family and friends will take pics, but I also want them to enjoy your day w/o worrying about getting pics a photographer may miss.

I think the number of photographers also depends on how important the photography aspect of the wedding is. Some people would rather spend their money elsewhere. It's all personal preference.

we are having 100-120 people, and we are having 2 photographers. It all depends on your style. We like the idea of one photographer with me and the other with FH as we are getting ready, and one for photojournalism and another for more traditional shots

I think two. I want lots of candids and photojournalistic photos...so think two will work out better
