photographer appointments

Good luck!

You can ask them what kind of cameras they use, film quality, how many hours they will be there for, will they send more than 1 photographer, do they include albums, thank you's, online albums, proofs on a disc, e-pics....stuff like that...hope this helps!

Will you personally be the photographer for our wedding?
-If the answer is no:
-When can we meet the photographer whose work I'm seeing so I can see if I feel comfortable with that person/ see if we
are on the same wavelength?
-If you are not talking to the photographer, also ask:
If the photographer we want no longer works for your studio when our wedding comes up, what will you do?
-If you are talking to the photographer:
-Are you a full-time photographer?
-What do you do the rest of the week?
-What kind of experience, background, and education do you have?
-Have you received any formal classroom training as a photographer?
-How long have you been a wedding photographer, and how many weddings have you photographed?
-Have you handled events of my type and size before?
-What are the reasons you think we should hire you?
-Is this your recent work that I'm seeing?
-Do you use black and white film when photographing in black and white?
-I'm looking for a photojournalistic photographer.
-What is your definition of 'photojournalism'?
-What are your criteria for choosing what you would photograph at my wedding?
-How do you know how many pictures to take?
-Who is your most favorite photographer
(not necessarily a wedding photographer)?
-Have you ever been published in a photography journal/had a show, etc.?
-What makes your photographs better or different than anybody else's?
-Why did you choose wedding photography as a career?
-What time do you arrive to setup your equipment?
-Hours of service:
-Do you bring backup equipment with you?
-How many people will cover the event?
-Do you provide a written contract and guarantee?
