I didn’t know there was so much that went into finding the right photographer for your wedding. I also didn’t realize how much they cost! It’s crazy on a budget. But I have to admit that these folks have a talented skill and I suppose they should be well rewarded.
Things we’ve come up with to ask a photographer:
- Do you do any other photography other than weddings?
- What is your style or expertise? (formal, candids, artistic, etc)
- Do you have wedding packages?
- Do you sign over copyright releases for all photos?
- Do we have to get prints made through you?
- Do you create wedding albums?
- If so, do these albums have to be committed to when we sign or can we decided after the wedding and we see the pictures?
- Do you do engagement photos?
- Do you do pre-wedding/bridal sessions?
- Do you do “Trash the Dress” shoots?
- What type of editing/enhancements do you do to the photos before delivery?
And the list keeps growing.
