Before You Book

Couples usually book photographers and videographers 9–12 months ahead. Ask:

• Can we see two or three full wedding galleries, not just highlights?
• Will you personally shoot our wedding, or an associate? Is a second shooter included?
• How many hours of coverage are included, and what does an extra hour cost?
• How many edited photos should we expect, and when will we receive them?
• Do we get a print release and full-resolution files? How long do you keep backups?

Tips for Booking Photographers and Videographers

• Look at full galleries in conditions like yours (indoor, night, rain).
• Give your photographer a short shot list of family groupings.
• Plan a 10–15 minute buffer for family photos per group of five.
