Questions To Ask Your Wedding Photographer

Questions to ask your wedding photographer and one question to ask yourself.

How valuable will their services be to me on the day of my wedding and potentially after my wedding?

Being a wedding photographer has given me the opportunity to get to know so many awesome couples AND their biggest dreams for one of their most important days of their life. I get to call those awesome people my clients and capture those moments for them to treasure for a lifetime! It is really important that your wedding photographer and you mesh well together and see eye to eye on the vision. So often I have couples wanting me to shoot their night weddings but our styles do not match. It is a huge honor to shoot a wedding and I wouldn’t want to ruin potentially the greatest day of your life because I couldn’t provide what you desired to have. Since you are making a great monetary investment into your photographer you need to know if they provide the services you wish to have.
