photo question

i am going this wkend to talk to a photo place about photos/video.

any suggestions on anything.........price, amount of time, whats included???

get their price list & packages in writing

ask if you get to meet the actual photographer who will be doing your wedding BEFORE you sign a contract, as well as see their work

how many hours is all day coverage? how much for overtime

can you keep the negatives? will pics be put on a cd? is there an additional charge for this?

do they shoot only film, digital or both? is the digital high-res, and can you get a cd for it?

about on average how many proofs do they typically give? will they be given in an album, in an unmarked format? what size are the proofs?

what kind of deposit? how much is due the day of, and on the day you pick up your proofs?

will they charge for having to shoot at more than one location? are there unlimited locations?

are pics available online for viewing/ordering?

what type of albums do you offer? are the pictures mounted or digital?

what kind of style of photography are you dominnant in? tradtional or photojournalistic, or both?

can i get shots in both color & b&W? do you charge extra for b&w?

what's your cancellation policy?


that's all i can think of for now

HOLY COW.................MY head is spinning!!!!!!

it took a while for me to know to ask those questions. i didn't even ask them with my first photographer we booked. learned my lesson thru this site, and cancelled them, and went with someone else. just remember---go with your gut! if you feel like you don't have a connection with the photographer, and it just doesn't feel right (but they have a good price)....make sure you listen to your GUT and look elsewhere. i didn't do that and i wound up losing $$$$$

this su*ks bc its a lot that you have to take into consideration when making your final choice!!!!

so much to take it!!!
