Re: Photographer appointment.

How many pictures (on average) are taken?

Do you have the rights to the photos? (As in, can you take them elsewhere to be printed)

How many photos will they edit?

Will you be meeting with the actual photographer?

Re: Photographer appointment.

-- do you get one or two photographers (or a photographer + an assistant)

-- do they have any lighting or anything that they bring?

-- will they stay your entire time (from getting ready in the morning to the very end of the reception)?

-- were the pictures that are shown to you taken by that actual photographer? sometimes, photographers have stock photos that they show you ... they don't tell you that they didn't take those pics unless you ask

most important thing about a photographer is for you to be comfortable with them ... you will be seeing this guy the entire wedding day so you want to make sure he doesn't annoy you lol

Best of luck with your appointment

Thanx girls this was very helpful. I had no idea you needed the rights to the pictures.
