Choosing Your Wedding Photographer

Choose your professional
Wedding photographer
carefully, because this
is the person who will
record the special moments
and events of one of the
most exciting days of your life.
In order to be well informed
about their service and to
look at comparable costs,
here are points to discuss
with each photographer that
you interview:

• Price is not the most important item!
Look for quality and creativity.

• Confirm the name of the photographer
who will be assigned to you. Ask to see
samples of his/her work, and decide if
the quality and style of this person is
suitable and appealing to you.

• Do you prefer candid or posed shots?
Communicate your preferences to the photographer.

• Will formal photographs be taken before or
after the ceremony? Does the photographer agree
with your decision?

• How long will the photographer stay at the reception?

• Ask for references; call several.

• Find out exactly what is included in the price quoted.
Get a detailed breakdown in writing.

• Who will own the proofs and negatives?
How long will they be kept on file?

• What are the costs for extra photos?
Does the price include a finished album?

• Is there a charge for cancellation?
What is the payment schedule?

Your photographer can be a source of general
wedding information and helpful ideas.

Be sure to choose someone that you are personally
comfortable with so that you will enjoy working
together to capture the memories of this day for you
to treasure forever.
