Studio 1 Wedding Photography

Some thoughts to consider

Experience

Is your photographer experienced?

Photographic Style

Are the images that you have been shown, what you would like to see in your album? Ask your photographer to explain what these styles are and how best they would suite your requirements. Do you want a mixture of black and white or only colour photos or spot colour, is this an extra cost?

Meeting

Is this the person you speak with, the photographer that will be taking the photographs at your wedding, or is he a salesman? Don't be shocked, this happens more often than you can imagine. Be certain that you know which photographer is going to be there and that you see HIS/HER work and meet with that individual face to face.

Personality

Is the photographer that you meet someone that you can get along with?Do you feel comfortable with him/her?

Costs

Is this photographer within your budget? If not, is he or she worth the price difference? Make sure you understand what everything costs, including reprints and albums. Do you get the copyright to all your images?

Deposits and payments?

What does he/she say about cancellations and the photographer not being there? Is the photographer fully insured? What deposit will be taken and when to pay the final balance.

Proofs & album

How long will it take to get your proofs back, thank you cards, your finished album, your album, your bridal portrait?

The package

Do you understand what you are getting? Is there any room for changes and will it cost to do so? Sometimes the packages are fixed, sometimes they can be customized, in any case, ask. How much time will he/she spend? What if you need more time? Make sure that you know what's coming.

Photographers references

A personal reference is always the best. Get a list of references from the photographer and check them out personally. A photographer who doesn't have references or is afraid to give them to you may not be the person that you need to hire.
