Hi Friends,

We know that finding the right photographer to capture your day can be difficult. These photos will last a life time and you want to make sure you find the perfect fit for your day.

This week we are discussing questions to ask a potential wedding photographer before you hire them. ⁠
⁠
1. How would you describe your wedding style?⁠
⁠
Many photographers have an artistic preference on how they like to shoot. Whether there focus is hitting each element of the day with specific poses or a more candid approach. ⁠
⁠
We recommend you look through their portfolio to ensure the style fits your taste. ⁠

Our second suggested questions is how will they deliver the edited photographs to you?⁠
⁠
Will they be in an online gallery or mailed in a USB? ⁠

Will you receive the digital negatives or do they offer print sales? If you do get the digital’s will you be able to make prints yourself? ⁠

Our 3rd tip is to read reviews!⁠
⁠
Pay attention to reviews that talk about how the photographer made that client feel. ⁠

Our 4th tip is know your budget.⁠
⁠
Wedding photography prices vary, which is why it’s good to have a ballpark budget upfront.⁠
⁠
If your budget is strict at $2500 and you inquire with a $3000 photographer. If photos are a big priority to you and you love a specific photographer, it’s okay to stretch your budget or save in other areas!⁠

Our last question is what do you need?⁠
⁠
Do you need all day coverage? Or are you having a small wedding and just need a couple of hours? ⁠

Do you want an engagement session? An album? ⁠
⁠
Wedding day packages can vary, so double check on what your expectations are from your special day.⁠

We hope that these questions will help you narrow down a photographer for your big day!
