Top 5 questions to ask a Wedding photographer

Interviewing the potential photographing vendors for your wedding could really be a tough job until you know these questions to ask him. Photographs will store the visual content of the whole wedding and only an efficient wedding photographer can portray a wedding journey through his lenses. 


The top ten questions to be asked him before hiring are:
 
1.  Whether he is a professional wedding photographer?
 
Many freelancer photographers also offer to click for the weddings. But it is always wise to hire a professional one. If the photographer is found to be a professional one then he should be questioned about his wedding photography exposure. An experienced professional photographer is always reliable.
 
2.  Since how long he/she is been in to wedding photography?
 
The tenure of his career is too asked next. Experience counts in these cases. Photographers covering wedding events for a long time are aware of the minor technicalities, which could be missing in the new ones. Wedding photography involves a lot more to know than others. The first dance, the cake toss, the ring exchange, the daddy and daughter dance, the vows everything has to be captured perfectly to save in the memory forever.
 
3.  Whether he/she has ever worked at your wedding venue before?
 
Photographers who have worked in the same location before will be more comfortable with the camera exposure and angels. His idea of taking pictures in the floor will be more accurate. He will more aware of the dance floor, the seating arrangements, wedding place, light reflection etc. These experiences have a big impact on the overall product. The capture of the moments in the pictures is much more superlative when clicked by such a photographer who has worked in the same venue before.

4.  If he/she is available on the wedding day and his charges?
 
Dates have to be finalized with the photographer before hiring him. Whether he will be able to deliver still pictures and the video has to be ascertained. The printing paper quality and the design of the wedding album have to be chosen from his early works. If he is available then the next big question is how much he charges and what he has to offer. Photographers offer discount if they are hired for the engagement too. The final package has to be negotiated sitting in talks with him.

5.  The big question - when to expect the delivery of the photos?
 
Most of the couples have immediate honeymoon plans after the wedding. So it’s important to know the date of delivery of the wedding photographs. These things have to be ascertained from the photographer before hiring him. What most of the photographers do is to give the soft copies of the photographs, which have been clicked to the couple to choose their desired ones. The wedding slideshow, the Face book teasers and the online proofs are all selected by the couples from the bunch of clicked photographs.
 
If you are going for a customized wedding cards invitations then also make it a point to check the photographer’s previous work.
