For all of us, remembering our memorable memories is undoubtedly crucial. Since we all want our wedding day to be captured on film as lovingly as we envisaged it, photographers are becoming just as crucial at weddings as our guests and bridesmaids. Finding a good wedding photographer can be challenging at times. To make it easier for you to best capture your wedding day, here are the TOP 10 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER before FINISHING THEM:
1. Are you available on my wedding date? If yes, when exactly should I book you?
The availability question ought to be asked first. There is no point in continuing the conversation if the photographer won't be accessible on your wedding day. To make things simpler to arrange, you should find out the photographer's availability before ever seeing them.
2. Can I see your previous work?
Asking your photographer to show you examples of their prior work will allow you to determine whether or not their look and style are a good fit for your needs. For both of you, it may make or break the situation.
3. Can we request a few specific shots from our side
Each of us has a tonne of unique images, positions, and Pinterest board ideas in our minds that we want to emulate. Asking your photographer in advance whether you can request specific postures is always a better option because some couples want to express their tales by reproducing past images and some just have their top dream poses ready in their head.
4. Do you have any photography contracts?
A legally binding agreement between the photographer and the couple for the wedding photos is a photography contract.
The policies, deliverables, payments, and services they offer are typically included. This is a secure way to confirm your hiring of the wedding photographer, and in the extremely unlikely event that someone violates any of the provisions of the contract, the other party may take legal action against them.

5. What is included in your standard photography packages?
Different packages are offered by wedding photographers depending on the client's budget and the services they offer. To know what services and deliverables to expect from them for the money you will pay them, you need to ask what is included in their regular package.

6. Can you customise a different package according to my needs and wants?
The majority of wedding photographers provide a variety of packages, some of which include candid photography, travel expenses, an album, prints, or post-wedding shoots. Ask them if they are alright with you creating your package based on your budget, needs, and demands once you are aware of what they offer in a package because there must be something you would want to take away from or add to it.

7. If the event goes on longer than expected, will you stay?
The wedding day could be busier than we anticipate. The event's conclusion may take longer than expected. For such circumstances, we must ask the photographer in advance if they would stay for that additional time and, if so, whether there will be any more fees.

8. What is your pricing breakup? (Advance, remaining payment)
We should inquire about their pricing breakdown once we have a general concept of the costs and services. Every wedding photographer includes the installation fee in their charge. They collect some cash up front, some cash on the wedding day, and some cash when the job is over. Before choosing them, always inquire about their pricing structure.

9. When and how do you deliver the pictures?
Every photographer provides the photographs to us using a different process and amount of time. We may repeatedly call them and check our emails out of enthusiasm to view the images. Ask them when and how they will supply the pictures to avoid doing it.

10. Can you make some changes in the editing (if required)
You might want to make some editing changes once the photos and videos are sent to you. Always inquire in advance if the photographer is willing to make the necessary adjustments to the photos and films.
