Ask the photographer about the style of pictures
Make sure that the photographer has previous experience
Create your own shot list for your photographer to work from
According to an old well known Chinese proverb, a picture is worth ten thousand words. Especially if that picture or pictures will be talking about the happiest and most important day of your life, your wedding day, you demand those words to be spoken clearly. Consequently there are a few questions you should ask your wedding photographer; here you will find the ten most important.
1st: Ask the photographer about the style of pictures he/she likes to take as every photographer has a specific style. That style could be creative, artistic, traditional, candid, relaxed or even posed and formal.
2nd: Find out if the specific photographer prefers taking colour or black and white pictures or both. If the photographer uses a digital camera then confirm that he/she can transform the pictures in both versions.
3rd: Some photographers will allow you to give them your preference on the direction of the shots. If that is possible and what you prefer, then create your own shot list for your photographer to work from.
