Choosing a wedding photographer

Questions to Ask the Photographer

Will you be the photographer covering our wedding? If not, may we see the work of the actual photographer, and may we meet him or her before the day? (Be very wary if this is resisted!)

  • Are you a member of a professional association?
  • Are you professionally qualified? And if so, in which type of photography was your qualification achieved? 
    (You can ask to see the photographer's certificates of qualification.)
  • Have you got Professional Indemnity Insurance? 
    (To cover the costs of retaking in the event of any disasters.)
  • How much time do you spend on photography? 
    (You need enough time for the photographer to do the job properly, but you do not want the photography to dominate your day!)
  • What happens if it rains? Is there room inside at the reception venue to do the job properly?
