Is The Wedding Photographer Available?

E-Mail and find out if he/she is available on your wedding date, if he/her is available phone them to make an appointment to see them face to face.

How does the photographer make you feel?

The reason why you need to meet the wedding photographer is to see how they treat you, the client, and if you feel comfortable with him/her. Does the wedding photographer make you feel at peace and will he/she be able to photograph your whole wedding without you warring that he will miss any special moment? The photographer must be like a best friend, you need to speak freely to him about anything you want.

You are the Boss at your wedding and it is your day, if you want the wedding photographer to take a certain picture that you want or like, let them know! Remember you're the Boss. Make sure your time is well planned after the ceremony to do the family photos and at least 1 ½ hours for your photo shoot. Remember the more time you give the photographer to take photos during the photo shoot period the more natural and calming photos you will get.

What should your photographer be able to provide?

• Choose a photographer that will be able to give you the edited images on a CD in High Resolution (High Quality)
• Some photographers give the photos on a CD but it is in Low Resolution which means you cannot make enlargement prints with them
• Make sure how many photos you will receive
• Look at their portfolios and make sure the stile and composition is what you like
• Make sure the photographer has backup cameras on your wedding, the last thing you need is no photos on your wedding day
• Each photographer must have at least 2 cameras for backup
• Make sure you and the photographer understand the total amount that you pay for the photos before you sign the contract, make sure there is no hidden costs
• If you can meet with the photographer, look at his images up close and make sure the images is sharp and clear

You do not want dark and blurry images.

Look at the photographers angles and see if you like it.	Last thing you need is an image like this.

Check the atmosphere of the images and see if his/her images tells you a story about the couple or wedding day. The photographer must take the pictures in a story telling form so that if anyone looks at your images they have to see what happened without you telling them everything.

The photographer is the most important on your wedding day because the images is all that you have left after the wedding, so make sure to look at the above points and be at peace with your decision.
