Experience Level - Has this person photographed other weddings or portraits done? Does he / she do this for a living or for fun?

Style of photography - Are the images shown, what would you do? There are "rumors" words flying everywhere about photojournalism, formal, classic candid, and so on. You want a mixture of photographs Color or black and white only?

Truth in Advertising - Is this the photographer to photograph your wedding / portrait or sent on who is available. He was not surprised, it happens more often than you can imagine. Be sure you know that the photographer will be there and you see HIS / HER work and meet with that individually face to face.

Personality - Is the photographer who knows someone that you can get, along with? Is the "chemistry" there?

Appearance - Ask the photographer how he / she intends to dress. Is this person well groomed?

Price Range - Although, the last thing I want to do is buy by price, is this person within your budget? If not, he or she is worth the price difference? Make sure you understand what it all cost, including professional reprints and albums.

Delivery - How long does it take to obtain evidence of your back, thank you cards, your finished album, your wedding portrait, etc?

Offering - Whether a la carte or a package, you understand what you are getting? Is there room for change and it will cost? Sometimes the packages are fixed, sometimes they can be customized in any case, ask. How long he / she goes? What if you need more time? Make sure you know what's coming.

Contract - Do you understand the contract. Is it fair? Is it all written out? When it comes to go to court, only what is written that counts, not what was promised. Make sure you have no doubts before signing. Read everything.

What about deposits and payments? What to say about cancellations and the photographer not being there? If the photographer protests, I ask why? This is an area not taken lightly. You can be disappointed for long.

References - A reference staff is always the best and people love to talk. Get a list of references from photographers and check them out personally. A photographer who does not have references or is afraid to give you may not be the person you need to hire.
