Questions to ask photographers

I'm meeting with my first photographer this weekend and am trying to come up with a comprehensive list of questions to ask. Do any of you have a list of questions you use when 'interviewing' a photographer?

-How long will they be there for?
-What is the overtime rate for each photographer per hour?
-Is an engagement session included in the price?
-How many albums are included in the package?

1- Can we see your portfolio?
2- How long have you been in business?
3- How soon can we see our photos? High resolution?
4- What's included? Wedding album, parent albums (are they different), thank-you's
5- What is your general style?
6- Do you shoot in B&W or Color?
7- Are you the actual photographer?
8- Is there an assistant? What is there experience?
9- What camera do you use? What equipment do you bring?
10- Have you worked at our venue? Can we see photos? Church?
11- Can we give you a list of expected photos?
12- What attire does photographer & assist wear?
13- Do we get copyrights to photos?
14- When do you take breaks? Do you want a meal or just eat at the Cocktail Hour.
15- Start times and end times.
16- Are you insured?

Here are some I asked. I probably asked a few more. This will be a good start.

All great questions--thank you! We ended up asking all of them, plus about 20 more, lol. And, when we were happy with all the answers we got, we booked our photographer! Yay! :)
