Questions to ask your photographer

What are your packages?

Can I see your portfolio?

The wedding will be held in (City, State) -- will you travel that distance and is there a fee associated with it?Is there a contract and what is the deposit to reserve the date?When is the remaining amount due?Who is the second photographer and can I see their work?Do you edit the photos they take as well or do they edit their own?How many pictures are included in the package mentioned above?What happens if you and/or the second photographer gets sick/has family emergency on the wedding day?How long will it be after the wedding to receive the photos?What will your attire be?Does full day coverage mean getting ready, first look, ceremony, reception, & send off?Can our engagement session be in (City)?

Above questions are great! I also went in with an idea of what kind of photos I wanted and asked how they got into photographing weddings and what their favorite part was. This helped me to see if they were a good match.
