When it comes to your wedding day a highly skilled photographer is crucial, so how do you pick out the skilled from the not-so-skilled? Reading online reviews is a great way to learn about past clients’ experiences which may help you narrow down your list of photographers. Do not hire just any photographer, you want a professional photographer with a reputable standing. Your wedding is not the time to have a family member take photos in order for you to save money – your photos are an investment! Here are 10 questions to ask the photographer before you book him/her.
Is my date available?
- If my wedding venue is out of your area, do you charge a travel fee?
- How far in advance do I need to book with you and what is your deposit fee?
- Do you have liability insurance?
- How do you describe your photography style?
- Have you ever photographed at my wedding venue? NOTE: If not, it is advised he/she tour the grounds prior to your wedding day!
- How long will it take to receive my photos after the wedding? How are they delivered?
- What time will you arrive at the venue and for how long will you shoot?
- What do your packages include? Does one include an engagement session?
- What is your refund/cancellation policy?
After speaking with the photographer, ask yourself if he/she is someone you trust to deliver his/her absolute best on your wedding date. You and your fiance should connect with the photographer’s personality and style – it will make for an enjoyable experience on your big day. Once you decide on a photographer, book him/her immediately (or as soon as possible)! Happy hunting!
