Top 8 Questions to Ask Your Wedding Photographer

Planning a wedding involves countless decisions, and choosing the right photographer is crucial for preserving your special day's memories. In a recent video, Travis highlighted the top eight questions couples should ask when searching for a wedding photographer. This guide covers everything from coverage hours to color preferences, ensuring you find a photographer who meets your needs and vision.

Key Questions to Consider

  1. How Many Hours of Coverage Do I Need?
    The amount of coverage needed varies depending on how much detail you want captured. Some couples want every little detail documented, while others prefer a focus on key moments. Packages typically range from 8 to 10 hours.

  2. What Happens Between Getting Ready and the Ceremony?
    Coordinate a timeline with your photographer to maximize photo opportunities before the ceremony. This includes first looks, bridal party photos, and family portraits.

  3. What Happens Between the Ceremony and First dances

    It’s party time for the bride and groom! Enjoy the moment with your friends and family while we capture the fun. This can also be the perfect time to capture any family portraits, license signing, or even take a moment away from the crowd.

  4. Do You Bring Flash?
    Some wedding venues limit use of flash photography, along with some photographers that do not shoot with flash. If you have a certain shot in mind, share it. An experienced photographer should have similar shots in the catalog to share and explain their technique in capturing the image.

  5. How Many People Are on Your Team?
    Photographers may work solo or with a team. A second shooter can add flexibility and speed to the wedding day. For those that want to keep things more low key feeling, a larger photography team may not be what you are looking for.

  6. Are You Comfortable Using Different Lenses?
    During the key moments, where do you want your photographer? Are they on the alter with you? Or are they blending in the background.

  7. What Exactly Is Included in Terms of Deliverables?
    Most photographers provide edited digital images. Ask about the number of photos you can expect and if you'll have the rights to print them.

  8. How Would You Describe the Coloring of Your Images?
    Photographic styles vary, from natural to bright and airy or darker tones. Choose a photographer whose aesthetic aligns with your preferences to avoid disappointment.
