Tips on Finding Your Ideal Wedding Photography Team

1:     Meet with as many photographers as your schedule allows.

2:     Ask lots of questions about experience, workflow, and timetable for image turnaround, who designs albums, color and tonal corrections and most importantly WHO will be the photographer

3:    Try to get a sense of their personalities as well as their photography experience and skill.

4:     Make sure your personalities are compatible. Remember, your photographers are going to be there all-day and very close to you. So if your personalities clash you will not be comfortable and it will show in the pictures.

5:     Know your budget limits and meet with only the ones who fit your expectations.

6:    After meeting with photographers keep them posted on your search every few weeks or so. This is a professional courtesy that may give your wedding preferential treatment if someone else is interested in your date.
