Using categories in Permalinks

[maximphotostudio]

I am looking at updating my WP Permalink structure and wanted to know if I should continue to include the category after my domain as in www.maximphotostudio.net/weddings/6081/columbus_wedding_photography/ or maybe www.maximphotostudio.net/6081/columbus_wedding_photography and www.maximphotostudio.net/6082/dayton_wedding_photography.

Any help is appreciated.

It's a matter of preference. The levels in your URL are not as important as how you link to your pages. If you offer enough content to support each category, then you can keep them if you feel it is helpful.

If all your links are similar to what you are presently showing, I would suggest it is redundant to have "wedding" listed twice in your link, so I would remove the category.

My personal preference is to use the post_id followed by a dot, then the post_name. /%post_id%.%postname%/

Your thread would then appear as http://www.maxidusphotostudio.net/6081.columbus_wedding_photography/
