How much?

How many hours will they be there??

Who will your photographer (s) be?

Can you meet with the photog?

Do they have an assistant?

What happens if your photographer gets sicj? Who covers for that person?

Digital or Film?

How many pics do they take?

Will you own the proofs? Or will you have do buy them?

Are the proofs stamped with the company name?

make sure the pics you are looking at are the work of the photog that you would like to use. also talk to the photog and make sure that you get along with them and like their personality. you are going to spend a lot of time with this person and you want to have fun with them!!

Re: What to look for in a photo

You should also discuss payment plans. I had alot of photographers that want 100% in payments from now until the day. My point is why pay them 100% up front because then you have nothing backing you for them to hurry with your proofs, albums, thank yous. Most were willing to change but they wait for you to ask. You should only try to pay 50-70 up front and leave the rest until after the wedding.
