KEY QUESTIONS
How many years have you been professionally
photographing weddings?
It can be risky to go
with someone who is just starting their first
wedding season.
What is your favourite part of your job?
This
question will help you find out what the
photographer is passionate about and will
help you understand his/her way of thinking.
My favourite time is when it's just me and
the couple and we can relax and create
showstopper photos without the distractions
of guests, bridal party, etc.
Do you work with a second photographer
on the wedding day?
Your wedding day is
such an important event with so many details
and emotions going on--don't trust capturing
all of them to just one photographer. Having
two photographers ensures that all the
memories are being captured. For example,
photos being captured of the couple's
first kiss and the reaction of the parents
at the same time.
What is your photographic style?
A photographer
might have a variety of different styles of
photography on her/his website--light/airy as
well as dark/moody. It's important to
understand the photographer's style and to
make sure it is in line with your vision for your
own wedding photos.
Could I see an entire wedding?
Photographers
like to show "the best of the best" photos on
their websites and blogs, so it's very important
to ask to see a wedding in its entirety.
MISTAKES
The biggest mistake is not making quality
wedding photography a top priority. I've heard
so many horror stories from couples where
they didn't make it a priority and decided to
book a wedding photographer based on
budget only, or booking a photographer a
month before their wedding and being very
disappointed with the photos they receive.
The old saying "you get what you pay for" is
very true for wedding photography.
