- Are you available for my wedding date?
- Do you travel to my location?
- Do you use off camera flash?
- Why is this important? You want your photographer to be using a flash that doesn’t flash directly in your face if you can avoid it. Off camera flashes have the ability to bounce the light off a ceiling so you don’t have harsh shadows.
- What is your most popular package?
- What amenities do you offer in ALL of your packages?
- Are there any amenities that I can add to packages that don’t already offer them?
- Do you take engagement portraits/ bridal portraits?
- Do you have insurance (this is really only important if your venue requires it)
- Do you offer packages with second photographers?
- What is the turn-around time for your images?
- Do you edit your images?
- Do I have the rights to all of my images or only a select number
- Some photographers charge a smaller fee to photograph your wedding, then charge clients per image. Some photographers charge a higher up-front fee and include edited images.
- How do the images come to me when they are done?
- Do you offer prints beyond what is in your package?
- Do you offer wedding albums?
- What does your wedding album look like?
- Do you share images on social media?
- Do you offer same day edits?
- How long have you been a wedding photographer?
- Have you ever worked at my venue before?
- Have you ever photographed a wedding like mine before?
