Tips on Selecting a Photographer
There are lots of photographers in many different price ranges.
You should meet with as many as possible before making your final decision! Here are some tips.
Meet with as many photographers as possible - make
mental notes about how comfortable you were (or weren't)
with each. Remember, your photographer will be with you
during your ENTIRE wedding - it's important to like him
or her!
When you meet with the photographers, be sure to look
at their portfolios. Ask if you can see pictures from
a complete wedding in addition to selections from various
weddings.
Make sure the photographer matches your style. Do you
prefer more candid shots? Black and whites? Ask the photographer
about his/her preferred style and look at samples. Ask
if there's additional cost for black and whites.
Get price lists and be sure to verify whether or not
this price list is the one that will apply to YOUR wedding!
It's good to book as early as possible, but if you are
6 to 12 months out from your wedding, the photographer
may raise his/her rates between the time you book and
the day of your wedding.
Before signing the contract, be sure that ALL costs
are detailed in writing. Don't sign a contract with an
open ended price. Make sure that prices for reprints are
included, as well as every aspect of the agreement.
In addition to costs and the package selection, the contract should include things like: date, arrival time, length of shooting time, fees and overtime charges, a list of all locations where photos will be taken and when.
Other things to consider:
Ask your photographer if he/she works with an assistantat weddings. Many work alone, but if you are having a large wedding with blended families it might be a good idea to hire a photographer with an assistant to keep track of it all!
Ask for recommendations from friends and coworkers. Ask if you can see pictures from their wedding!
Be sure the photographer you select "specializes" in weddings or has several in his or her portfolio.
Make a list for your photographer of all the *must have* and *nice to have* photographs. Be sure you get input from your parents and from your fiancée's parents too!
