Top Ten Checklist: Hiring a Wedding Photographer
July 22, 2009 at 10:11 am 2 comments
1. What style of photography are you looking for? Are you excited and enthused by the photographer’s porfolio?
2. Do you like the photographer? Remember that you are sharing on of the most important days of your life with him or her.
3. Is the photographer professionally qualified?
4. Does the photographer have Professional Indemnity and Public liability insurance?
5. Meet at least two photographers and make no decisions at the meetings. (Walk away from any hard selling).
6. Look at the photographer’s testimonials.
7. Ask to see photographs from a couple of single weddings. This way you will be able to assess their consistency and mix of styles.
8. What awards has the photographer won? This gives you a guide to how top peers rate his/her work.
9. Do not just look at digital images. Review the quality of their prints and how they are presented.
10. Check that the photographer you meet will be the same one who does the work on the day!
