Your wedding is one of the biggest events of your life, so you want it properly documented by an experienced photographer. Fortunately, there are a few ways to ensure you hire a qualified professional. Below are five pertinent questions you should ask all potential wedding photographers or event videographers before signing a contract.

What to Ask a Prospective Wedding Photographer

1. When Are You Available?

Make sure they have enough time available on the date of your wedding to shoot the ceremony, reception, and pre-wedding preparations. You may want to capture additional footage during the wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, so ask about their availability on the day before your wedding, too.

2. What’s Your Experience?

Ask any potential photographer or event videographer about their experience shooting weddings. How many have they performed? How many were of a similar size and scope to yours?

3. How Much Will It Cost?

Ask how much you can expect to pay and what that price includes. Does the photographer offer different packages? If so, are there "a la carte" services you should know about?

4. Can I See Samples of Your Work?

You should know the quality of work you can expect, so ask to view samples from several previous weddings. Ask if you can expect a similar "shot list" to what you see in the samples, such as a close-up of the bride's hand as the groom slips on the ring and their first kiss as a married couple.
