All the best questions!

Have you shot a wedding style that was similar to ours?

The style of your wedding, and size, should be familiar to your photographer. They need to have prior experience shooting countryside weddings if that is what your dream wedding looks like. You need a photographer that is experienced enough to suggest and advise on how you can make your wedding shoot to be just like you dream it will be. An experienced photographer is a joy to work with, they will be a figure in the background working their magic, as you enjoy the most special day of your lives yet.

How do you prefer to work?

On a day as happy as your wedding, you don’t want to be commanded as if you’re in a commercial photoshoot. You want someone that is a good fit for your personality and can calm your nerves when you’re a wreck and suggest poses, locations and timings that will only make your photos timeless. Other questions to ask your potential wedding photographer include how many assistants they will have, whether they will only offer a print-only album or your digital album will be accessible by Cloud.

Do you customize your packages?

Most photographers have existing packages for their clients to choose from. It is important to know what their charges are, as it can be a deal breaker, and once you are past that, then it is important to know whether they are flexible with their packages. You might have an additional request that doesn’t exist in their books, and it is important to know whether they are able to make it happen for you. You will also want to ask about contracts, deposits, refunds and their cancellation policy at this point.

What are the delivery timelines?

When you’re on your honeymoon, far away from the rest of us, the last thing you want is to worry about when your album will be ready. When you know how long it will take for your physical and digital albums to be ready, it will be easier to tell your wedding party and your guests how long they will wait until they can set Instagram and Pinterest alight with photos from your wedding.

Are you available on my wedding day?

It sounds like a very obvious question, but it is important to confirm their availability. A lot of photographer have assistants who are equally good at their craft, but you might be disappointed to find out that the photographer you signed up for isn’t the one who is on site. Confirming whether they will be the ones personally shooting on that day is very important so as to avoid a mixup. You will also want to meet with their crew and learn about their personalities, skills and experience.

These are some of the most important questions to ask your potential wedding photographer. You get to know about their experience, their budget, their style and personality and also their availability. If you have any additional questions, we would be more than happy to help.
