I first want to thank everyone who joined in our LIVE Teleseries
call last night titled: From Yes to I Do - Wedding Photography. We had a
great turnout and some really information Q&A's! If you missed it,
don't worry, the replay will be available next Tuesday. We will
continue this series next month as well, so join in next time if you
haven't already!
So today I wanted to go over my top questions to ask your potential
wedding photographer. It is so important to ask the right questions, I
can't stress that enough! So ... I know you're all dying to find out
...
The Bridal Solution's Top 5 Questions to Ask Your Wedding Photographer Before You Book
5. What is a Typical Wedding Day Like with You as a Photographer?
You will want to make sure you photographer captures the important
moments with you. You'll want an ease and flow to your wedding day, and
you'll need to make sure your photographer is on board as well. Go
ahead, ask them what a typical wedding day is like for them! If they
are experienced, this will be an easy question!
4. Will You be Shooting My Wedding Alone, or Will You Have A Second Photographer With You?
If it's in your budget, you most certainly want a second
photographer their the day of your wedding. There is no possible way a
single photographer can get all the important images. Just think, do
you want to choose between a photo of you walking down the aisle, or
your grooms face when he first sees you? I didnt' think so! Make sure
there are at least 2 with you for the majority of the day! You can
thank me later! :)
3. What All is Included in Your Wedding Packages?
This question is important because you'll need to budget for
photos. When a photographer prices is lower than their competitors,
you'll have to wonder. Is it due to experience or is it that they are
pricing on an a la carte option? The longer the photographer has been
in the business, the more experienced and educated they are. Most
likely, their price will show that. If the photographer is basing
everything a la carte, then you could be paying a higher price in the
end. There are a lot of back end pricing when it comes to photography,
so it's better to get an upfront cost and ask what all is included at
the very beginning!
2. Do you Direct or Document More?
Basically you are wanting to figure out if the photographer likes to take more photos that are posed or more candid shots. It could be that they do a little bit of both. Whatever they say, make sure their styles fits with your vision for wedding photos.
1. Do You Carry Backup Equipment and Insurance for Each Wedding?
This is a must! You want to make sure that they carry the equipment necessary to capture your day, and that they back it up. Not a month after your wedding, but SOON after your wedding. Can you seriously imagine having no weddings photos? Make sure to ask this MOST important question!
