Qustions to ask your Photographer before you book

Questions to ask

First off one of the questions I’ve gotten the most of has been regarding they type of equipment that we use, which changes over the years, and even what we might use at any given wedding varies. Some weddings require different lighting; some require the use of special lenses for the cameras to capture the images you desire. I prefer Canon Cameras, simply because that is what I learned on when I started out with film cameras. Nikon makes great cameras, but I don’t know how to use them in a dark room like I do the Canon cameras I own. In reality, the camera is just a box that captures images. The photographer you select is the important part, with today’s technology almost anyone can aim a camera and get a picture that is properly exposed. Look at the images the photographer you are interviewing has taken and see if you like those and then ask them are these the images you have taken or are these the images of the photographer that will be shooting out wedding? I say this because some larger Photography studios will show their best work and then send out a different photographer to your wedding. Get to know the person who is shooting your wedding, not their sales person.

Other Questions I get from people that I think you should ask are,
· What kind of training do you have, how do you keep sharp?
· What kind of continuing education do you have? Groups you belong to?
· How many Weddings have you done?
· How long have you been shooting weddings.
· Do you have References?

· Did you take these photos?

· If you get sick am I still covered.

Remember to get a contract when you Book your wedding, if it's not in writting you could get taken.
