Your wedding day Photos

As soon as you set your date you should start looking
for the right one!

Don't be afraid to ask questions. If you have your own ideas be sure to include them in your questions.

If you see a picture you like, bring it with you to see if the photographer can recreate something similar for you.

Couples are encouraged to take extra care to choose the highest-quality photographer that they can possibly afford.
If a photographer makes you feel intimidated, uncomfortable, or has a hard time communicating with you, think twice
before hiring him or her. Be sure the photographer offers an easy-to-understand contract or brochure that states explicitly what is included for the amount of money they are paying.

Professional or Amateur?

Anyone can take a picture, but only a professional can produce portraits.

Film or Digital?
Again, ask to see their quality of work.

Questions to ask:
Ask for references.
How long has the company been in business?
Who is the contact person?
How many weddings has the company serviced?

Ask about the deposit requirements.
What style of photography do they prefer?
Request to see a full wedding album.

What is included in their pricing? Do they have backup equipment?

How long will the photographer spend at your wedding?

Who exactly will photograph your wedding?

How long do they keep the negatives?

Can engagement photographs be added to the photography package?

Which paper finish will they use?

Should food be provided?

Can the company add any special effects, such as digital manipulation?
