Things to consider when choosing a photographer

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF YOUR BUDGET HAVE YOU ALLOWED?

This will determine how much of the day the photographer captures and may require you to adjust some of the run times to suit.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE?

Will you receive copies of all the images or just a set number? Do you receive any prints? Understand exactly what your photographer is offering and confirm it in writing.

STYLE

To avoid disappointment it is important they understand what style of photographs you are after: documentary, natural, posed, candid.

WEATHER

If there is one thing you can’t control, this is it. Make sure you have a wet weather backup plan.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Do you want guests to post images or send everything to you for vetting? Will you have a Twitter hashtag or Instagram account? Make sure your wishes are made clear or risk a digital disaster.
