Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Wedding Photographer


Wedding photography is a huge investment but after the wedding is over, the photos remain. It's important to choose the right photographer, not only someone whose personality clicks with yours, but also someone who you trust. As you interview wedding photographers, be sure to ask the following questions:

* Have you shot a gay wedding before?
* How would you describe your style?
* How many photos do you shoot at a typical wedding?
* Do we get proofs of the images?
* Are proofs digital proofs or paper proofs?
* What level of editing do you provide photos before we receive them? Do you do color correction, crop out EXIT signs, and the like?
* Do we get full use of high-resolution images after the wedding?
* Do we book an album through you or can we make our own?
* How long does it take for you to give us the high-resolution wedding photos?
* How long does it take for you to produce an album?
* What is your backup plan in case of emergency?
* Do you offer an assistant and if so, for what price?
* Do you offer an engagement photo shoot and if so, for what price?
* How many weddings do you shoot in a weekend?
* How is your pricing structured?

Enjoy the process of looking through the portfolio of wedding photographers - you may find inspiration for you own weddings!
