Important Questions To Ask Your Wedding Photographer

When choosing a wedding photographer, it can feel a bit intimidating walking into the unknown. One of our jobs is to help you answer any and all questions so that you don’t feel uncertain about our job and you can walk confidently into your wedding day! That is why getting to know my clients is one of my favorite parts of my job. I knot only get to describe my process to you, but I get to learn more about your personality, style, and more! Whether it’s about my presence on your wedding day, deliverables, pricing, wedding photographers are used to having LOTS of questions thrown at them!

So don’t be shy, ask away!

Below I have a guide that will go through the most important questions to ask your wedding photographer! Some questions may seem obvious, but I want to err on the side of safety to ensure you choose the best photographer for your wedding day! Let’s get into it!
