IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO ASK THE PHOTOGRAPHER |
|
|
|
EXPERIENCE AND BACKGROUND |
|
 |
How many years of experience do you have?
|
|
|
|
Do you specialize in weddings?
|
|
|
|
Are you fully qualified and are you a member of a professional photographer
association?
|
|
|
|
In addition to the albums you've shown us, can we see some examples of your most
recent work?
|
|
|
|
May we see references?
|
|
|
|
What is your style/philosophy?
|
|
|
|
Will you be the photographer who will be photographing our wedding or will you
send in who ever is available? (Don't be shocked, this happens more often than
you can imagine. Be certain that you know which photographer is going to be
there and see HIS/HER work and meet them!)
|
|
|
|
EQUIPMENT |
|
|
|
Do you use film or digital?
|
|
|
|
What kind of camera/equipment/film do you use?
|
|
|
|
LIMITATIONS |
|
|
|
Can other people take photos while you are taking photos?
|
|
|
|
How much time can you give us on our wedding day? Is there an additional charge
if you work overtime?
|
|
|
|
How they work
|
|
|
|
Do you have an assistant?
|
|
|
|
Do you take test shots/engagement photos before the wedding day?
|
|
|
|
Have you ever worked at our ceremony/reception site before?
|
|
|
|
What packages are available? Is there any flexibility?
|
|
|
|
Who is responsible for transportation/costs? Will you travel from ceremony to
reception on your own?
|
|
|
|
Do you have a back-up in case you can't make it on our wedding day?
|
|
|
|
Give prospective photographers a challenge and see how they would handle it. For
example: "I'm a blinker" or "I'm very uncomfortable in front of the camera."
How will they work with you?
|
|
|
|
Ask the photographer how he/she intends to dress. (Jeans and slip-slops may not
be appropriate in a 5 star hotel.)
