After you say "I do" , your wedding photographs are one of the only moments in time from your big day. It is incredibly important to choose a professional wedding photographer who matches your vibe and can completely capture those special moments. So, the questions below are very important to your wedding planning process. Just as important as hiring a wedding planner. (Blog on that later)
1. Can you describe your wedding photography style to us?
From dresses to stylistic theme, style inclinations differ from one couple to another. Quite possibly the main expressive choice all couples need to make is picking a wedding photographic artist. You ought to pick your wedding photography style even before you contact a possible photographer. A wedding photographer can be genuinely amazing regarding expertise and quality, however, on the off chance that their taste and style doesn't match your wedding vision, they probably won't be the best fit for yourself as well as your accomplice. Some style are as follows :
Traditional - Exemplary and conventional photography is like what many couples' parents have from their weddings. These direct photos may not be exceptionally inventive — they're normally taken shots at eye level and posed — yet that moment lives from generation to generation.
Photojournalistic - Photographers like these treat the big day practically like a magazine feature or news report. They let the moments happen normally, then, at that point, capture the moments.
Cinematic - Cinematic photography looks like you've gotten a picture out of a movie. It includes controlled lighting and creation, focal point decision and lots of direction.
Black and White - Black and white, aka High contrast photography, eliminates any interruption of variety and assists the watcher with zeroing in on different parts of the photograph, like the subject, the surfaces, shapes and composition, and the creation. Thus, you can utilize generally similar creation procedures - like the standard of thirds - that you'd use in photographs with color. Black and white creates different moods in photos to bring you back to that moment.
Landscape - "Capture the Scene" aka Landscape photography is a laid out and famous photograph style outside the wedding business, yet it's turned into a well known addition to shooting weddings in exceptionally beautiful places like the mountains or the ocean side. For this situation, the photographer works with the couple early on to scope out different areas. The photographer then catches a brave adventurous scene with the couple as part of the landscape.
2. Will you be my actual photographer, or will it be one of your associates?
This question is often overlooked and sometimes not thought about. The relationship (Vibe) you have with your photographer is very important. Photographs tend to come out better when you’ve cultivated that connection with the photographer. If they know how you like to have your moments captured, the transition from moment to camera to canvas will be smooth. This is the difference between what you want versus what the photographer wants. It is YOUR big day and it should respected.
3. What is your photo editing style?
The wedding photographer's photograph editing style will likewise influence the outcome of your wedding photographs. Therefore, I (Ronnie Jennings) suggest talking about this during your meeting. Note, assuming their style is high contrast colors, dark and moody or complete random is not a good idea. You must figure out what you would like. Likewise, I suggest asking how they accomplish different looks when there are changed lighting circumstances throughout the big day.
4. What is it like to work with you on the day of the wedding?
Every photographer is different. Asking the wedding photographer to explain how the wedding day will go will help you get a better picture of their energy, shooting style and working with them. Some can give you guidance when it comes to posing, while others focus on taking more honest, natural shots. There is no right or wrong choice. The most important thing is that the photographer's style fits your vision that you and your future spouse have.
5. What do your wedding packages include?
Clarify what's in the quoted fee and what add-ons will cost extra, which includes travel prices for weddings, additional hours or different sessions pre-wedding ceremony activities just like the rehearsal dinner. Talking approximately about packages and pricing is a must. Most wedding ceremony photographers will provide distinctive programs that encompass a positive range of hours, engagement photos, prints and albums.
6. What is your turn around time?
Wedding photographers normally supply completely edited image galleries 3-4 weeks after the marriage day. Many photographers email (in my case create a special gallery) the couple 20 “sneak-peeks” snap shots before sending the full gallery.
7. How will you coordinate with my videographer? How do you envision working together?
Whether you choose to hire just a photographer or different vendors, we must and will have to proactively communicate with each other to bring your vision to life . It is important that we as vendors try our best to not get in each other's way. This must be stressed to each vendor to ensure complete coverage.
8. Do you have my date available?
Simple question, but people do forget to ask.
9. Can I give you a list of specific shots we would like?
A wedding photographer could have a general concept of what shots of your big day should look like, however, the simplest way to make sure of that is to make certain you both are on the same page by providing a shot-list before the wedding. A shot-list is truly a listing of the moments which you need to have documented on your wedding day. It is essential to think this over. Weddings festivities can be unexpected and a bit chaotic at times. If you make sure that the photographer has the shots needed, it will become one less thing to worry about.
10. What is your refund/cancellation policy?
Sometimes things happen and you may need to cancel, you have to change your wedding date or move start times. You had everything set and all the contracts signed and deposits paid. NOW WHAT? Never say Never. Things in life happen, so the time to prepare for any possible changes is in the beginning. KNOW what you are signing. Always, always, and I will emphasize it again, ALWAYS read and understand the cancellation clause.
