Questions to ask wedding photographers
Compare full wedding galleries, coverage hours, delivery times, editing style, and what is included in each photography package.
Make the conversation specific to your wedding
Bring your date, location and an outline of the service you are considering. Ask the vendor to explain how their approach would work for your plans, using examples of comparable events. Write down what is included and anything you need to confirm later.
Choose the way you want your day remembered
Look through complete wedding galleries, including indoor ceremonies and evening receptions, rather than judging only a few portraits. Notice the editing, skin tones and balance of candid moments and posed photographs. Ask how much direction the photographer gives during the day.
Compare coverage and finished photographs
Check the number of photographers, coverage hours, travel and overtime. Discuss delivery timing, gallery access, print rights and whether albums or engagement sessions are included. A detailed shot list should leave room for the moments you cannot plan.
