Photographer

When selecting a wedding Photographer, chose a professional, a friend with a good quality camera is not much use if he/she forgets to load a film or keeps the lens cap on.

A Few questions you could ask

• Can we give you a shot list to work from.

• Are you the person who will actually take our pictures' If not, can we meet the person who will be.

• Can we meet any assistants who will also be taking pictures.

• How many weddings have you photographed before.

• How many similar to the size and formality of our wedding.

• How many other weddings will you also photograph that weekend.

• What kind of equipment will you bring with you.

• Do you develop your own film.

• Can we buy the negatives from you.

After you've asked these questions, there are several questions you'll want to ask yourself:

• Do I like this person.

• Do I get along with them.

• Do I like their work.

• Is it well lit.

• Looking at their books, do I feel like I have a good feeling for the wedding.

Don't forget to call their references. While it may feel awkward to call a stranger, it can be invaluable to have an outside opinion on this person.

Remember, your photographs will be one of the most lasting aspects of your wedding.
