I wish I knew that I could bargain... the first two I did not have any moment in the price, the rest there was a lot of movement of add ons

Def ask how many pics in the album. I just got off the phone with a BM who is looking at photographers for her wedding and they told her 40 pics in her album...my photographer is giving me 150 (all of the other places I went to said 75 or less) ! BIG DIFFERENCE!

Looking back i'd definetly ask if he has a backup photographer, in case something happened. Backup equipment too.

It varies from photog to photog...you can usually set up a 'payment plan' with them, If I remember correctly my depsoit was $300 (not sure tho) but the rest was done in payments
