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!
