Photography Questions

Hello Fellow Brides!! Today I have my first appoinment for photo/video. It is with Patken, a company I know many LIW brides are familiar with. I wanted to know what questions should I ask tonight regarding photo/video? Thanks in advance for your time and help!!

Re: Photography Questions

How many hours will they be with you? Will they stay until the end?
Do they work alone?
Will you get digital proofs without their watermark on it?
Can you give them a must take photo list? Do they only do photojournalistic style or also traditional? What time will they be at your house? How long does it take to get pics after wedding? Do they give you all pics or do you have to pick a certain amount? I have million more but can't think off the top of my head.

Thank you so much!! I didn't even think about that. I know you used LoveMorePhoto and your pictures were beautiful. I'm only going to this appointment because they refused to give me pricing over the phone. Lovemorephoto gave me their pricing through email and they are definitely in my top 3 choices!! How many proofs did you get?

If you dont mind me asking, what price did Patken give you? I want to know if they are over budget before I even waste time going.

Thank you!! I started a new topic to see if anyone could tell me the pricing and what it includes. I'm trying to narrow the photographers down so that I only have to meet with about three.
