What To Ask A Photographer
What To Ask A Photographer
The most important question you should ask is, “Are you the photographer who will be photographing my wedding?”
When hiring a photographer you are not investing in images, (files, pictures) or albums, you are investing in the photographer’s talent and creativity to photograph your wedding. So your first thought should be, “Who is the right photographer to capture our wedding images?” Start off by making appointments with several photographers to view their work. You may save yourself some time by viewing the photographer’s website before meeting with him or her. It is very important to get out there and look!
When meeting with a photographer, be sure that the work you are viewing is the work of the photographer you are meeting with and he or she is the one that will be photographing your wedding. Some photographers do all the work personally. Then there are studios that have one, or possibly several, associate photographers. If hiring a photographer from this type of studio you may not get the photographer you initially met with. Point in case: meet with the photographer that will be photographing your wedding.
Personality and rapport are extremely important. Your photographer is your most intimate vendor next to your wedding planner/coordinator (if you have one). It is very important that the both of you feel comfortable with the photographer, because he or she will spend the better part of the wedding day with you. Even if you think a photographer’s work is the greatest, if you do not like their personality, attitude, and you do not feel comfortable, it will show in the images. You are investing in this person’s vision, creative abilities, professionalism, character and personality. Ask yourself, “Would I invite this person to my wedding?”, because that is exactly what you will be doing.
Along with your memories, your photographs will be the only things you have left once your wedding day has past. Be sure to hire the right person for you. A good match between you and your photographer will create great images and pleasant memories to look back upon.
