What Should I Discuss With a Photographer Before Booking Them for My Wedding?

Before booking a wedding photographer, it’s important to have a clear discussion so you know exactly what to expect. Start by talking about the style you prefer—candid, cinematic, or traditional—and check if they are comfortable shooting in that style.
Ask to see full wedding albums, not just highlights, so you can understand their consistency in different lighting and situations.

Discuss the timeline of the event, key moments you want captured, and any family or group photos that are important. It’s also a good idea to talk about their equipment, backup plans, and how many team members will be present on the wedding day.

Don’t forget to clarify package details, delivery time, number of photos, album quality, and payment terms. A clear conversation upfront will help avoid misunderstandings later and ensure smooth coordination on your wedding day.
