Re: What questions should I ask my photographer?
Size of album and amount of pics in it refrences from past clients if u want what happens if the main photographer is sick? Can you see work for the specific photographer you are using (some people don't do this and will just show you the best pics even if someone else shot it) umm... hours of shooting (some photographers leave right after the cake is cut which to me is a no no)
umm.. i THINK thats it

Re: What questions should I ask my photographer?
well i used an independent photographer so maybe different questions, well actually no i think J'adore love, they are a couple who only work together. For example my photographer worked for herself so i knew the pics i saw were all hers and i knew that it would be only her photographing wedding.
Ask if they include a free epic shoot
make sure you get the copyrights to the photos. Most give it to you but some wont which means thy own the rights and if you want to print a pic you can ONLY do it through them and pay each time which you dont want to do that.
Ask if you get your pics on a high resolution disk, this way you get to do whatever you want with the pics.
ALbum prices and how many pics can you add to album
how many hours are included and if you want them more than the 10-12 hours that most photographers do, is there an hourly charge past that and if so how much.
how many proofs do they guarantee. Most will guarantee about 800 or more but ive seen some past brides mention some photography companies that gave them less like 300-400 pics only.

Re: What questions should I ask my photographer?
oh another thing I remembered alot of past brides complaining about, which they didnt know about until after their wedding and they picked up pics.
Ive seen quite a few girls who only got their pics on a disk but wanted pics professionally printed by the photographer since the paper they use is different. Most of them thought they would also get all their proofs printed along with the disk but they didnt. SOme said they would print it for them but charge extra for each pic. I was surprised how many had this happen.
I did receive ALL my pics on a disk BUT i also was given a box with every single proof printed so i didnt have to print it myself or pay extra for the photographer to do it.
