Hey! I am meeting with photographers this week and next!
I plan on asking:

- How long their services are? Full day? Overtime $ after a certain time?
- Extras such as parent albums, thank yous, engagement pictures- included or how much $?
- How many photos in main album? (Negotiate for more)
- Do you get all pictures on a CD and full copyright?

I can't think of anything else right now, but I will definately love everyone else's advice too!!

Agreed!
Also - ask if you get one photographer or two with the price you are quoted.

ask if there is a charge for retouching.

Make sure you get the photographer you choose. Get his/her name in your contract. I was BM for a friend she booked with a studio who said ' this is Joe's portfolio he will be your photographer' she liked Joe's work & booked. The day of her wedding another photographer showed up, NOT JOE! This guy was rude & her photos are aweful. Get the photographers name in your contract & meet him before you book it.

It's kinda given that photographers have worked in many locations around the area, but ask if he's ever shot there before? Sometime they will all ready have good locations at you hall or photography location that they know are 'good spots' and will facilitate the picture taking process. If they've never been there see if they are willing to check it out before hand.
