Hey RH Twin...

I would ask what is included in your package - ie- album, parent albums, rights to the pictures that are taken, how many pics are taken, are there one or two photographers, are thank you notes included, do you get both the edited and unedited pics, how long does the photographer take pics, etc...

Cant think of anything else - but I am sure there is more to ask!

Who are you meeting with btw?

Oh, and good luck!

We are meeting with Joseph Lin of Autumn Lin Photography...we love their work.

- How many hours do you get them for? Is it all-day services regardless of hours?
- What is their attire?
- How much is overtime per hour?
- Do you get total copyright of all pictures?
- Do they do digital editing? What type? On how many pictures?
- How many pages and pictures come in main wedding album?
- What types of extras come in the package? ie: engagement session, parent albums, thank yous, enlargements?

What photographer is going to photograph your wedding? Can you see that person's portfolio? Can you meet this person?Than get that person's name in your contract.
