💍 10 Questions to Ask Any Wedding Photographer Before You Book

📸 1. What is your photography and editing style — and do you stay consistent?

Look for a portfolio that matches your taste and has consistency from one gallery to the next.

🕒 2. What’s your average turnaround time for a full gallery?

Know what to expect — some deliver in 4 weeks, others in 12. Ask if sneak peeks are included.

💾 3. How are photos delivered, and do we get high-res downloads?

You should receive high-quality images with clear instructions on how to download and save them.

🛡️ 4. Do you have backup gear and a backup plan?

Life happens. A pro will have extra cameras, memory cards, and contingency plans.

📋 5. Do you help build the photo timeline for the day?

The best photographers collaborate with your planner to ensure everything runs smoothly.

🧠 6. Can we see a full wedding gallery?

Instagram is the highlight reel — you want to see how they handle full wedding days, lighting shifts, and candid moments.

🎤 7. How do you make couples feel comfortable in front of the camera?

If you’re camera-shy, this matters. Look for someone who gives helpful posing guidance and makes the experience fun.

💸 8. What’s included in your packages — and what’s extra?

Ask about second shooters, travel fees, albums, and taxes so there are no surprises later.

📝 9. What’s required to book — and when are payments due?

Get clarity on deposits, contracts, and refund policies before you sign.

💬 10. What sets you apart from other photographers?

You’ll learn a lot from how they answer this one. Confidence, professionalism, and personality matter.
