Are you available for my wedding date?
Do you travel to my location?
Do you use off camera flash?
1. 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
1. 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?
1. What does your wedding album look like?
Do you share images on social media?
Do you offer same day edits?
