There are 12 questions you absoloutely MUST ask your photographers before deciding one one.

1.Experience:

How long has the main photographer for your wedding been photographing weddings?

How long your photographer has been performing wedding photography is important and so is the number of weddings they have photographed, but more importantly is their ability to capture the perfect images, the ones you want.

2.What about the support crew:

Sometimes the second photographer (you may or may not have one for your wedding) takes some of the most important photos, such as those of the guests, the landscape of the ceremony and reception site, your drive off and arrival. It is important to know who your second photographer will be. Though this information may not always be available as it is common for the second photographer to be in training. If this is the case, how much instructions will the main photographer provide the second photographer?

3.What Style of photography are they comfortable and experienced in shooting?

You will need to decide in advance what type of photos you want, do you want traditional pictures, photojournalism style, artistic, etc... This is important to know because you don't want to waste what little time you have right now speaking with the wrong photographer.

If you want traditional pictures, what's the sense of speaking with a photographer who only shoots photojournalist style? Decide on this now before you begin your search, that way you can narrow your search down to the most relevant photographers.

4.Do they offer postproduction-editing (touch up) services?

You may not think about it but the majority of wedding photos in portfolios and website have had some level of editing performed on them. The photographer wants to make sure his best work is on display. You should expect to have the same for your wedding. You should discuss with your photographer about how many images they are willing to touch up for you, and any additional charges (if any) that you may incur.

5.Can you provide the photographer with a list of photos you want taken?

There may be certain photos that you envision and consider an absolute must for your wedding album, your photographer should be willing to take the pictures you want; after all, you are employing them and it is only fair that you get exactly what you want. A professional photographer should be able to achieve about 75% of the photos you want taken.
