Choosing the right wedding photographer and videographer is crucial for preserving the memories of your big day. Here are ten essential questions to ask before booking to ensure you’re hiring the perfect professionals for your wedding.
1. Are You Available on My Wedding Date?
This should be your first question! Availability is key, and popular professionals book up quickly. Make sure this is your first question for your wedding photographer and videographer.
2. What’s Your Photography/Videography Style?
Ask if they specialize in traditional, candid, documentary, or cinematic styles. Choose one that matches your vision.
3. Can We See Full Wedding Galleries/Films?
Previewing complete work—not just highlights—gives you a clear sense of their consistency and storytelling ability.
4. How Do You Handle Low-Light or Outdoor Settings?
Weddings often have a mix of lighting conditions. Make sure they’re equipped and experienced to handle them all.
5. Do You Have Backup Equipment?
A true professional always has backups in case of equipment failure.
6. How Many Hours of Coverage Do You Offer?
Determine how long they’ll be available and if they can stay later if your timeline runs behind.
7. Do You Offer Custom Packages?
Ask if their services can be tailored to your needs, such as including drone footage or second shooters.
8. What’s Your Turnaround Time?
Find out when you’ll receive your photos or wedding film. The industry standard is 8-12 weeks, but it varies.
9. What’s Your Approach on the Wedding Day?
Do they work discreetly or take a more hands-on, directive approach? Make sure it aligns with your preferences.
10. What’s Included in Your Contract?
Review the fine print, including payment terms, cancellation policies, and deliverables.
