THINGS TO ASK YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER AND YOURSELF (Along with my answers)

1. What’s your primary style? Posed and formal, relaxed, photojournalistic, creative, artistic, candid, traditional? I prefer a mix of formal and relaxed photojournalist styles. If you desire both, I will have another photographer onsite to assist me - one of us will concentrate on the formal aspect while the other shoots the more relaxed shots. Once the formal shots are complete, we will then both shoot a mix of creative and candids for the duration of the event
    
2. Do you shoot in color or black and white? Or both? Do you shoot in a digital format that can create both color and b/w versions of the same picture? I shoot in color and black and white. I shoot all shots in RAW and JPEG. RAW gives me the ability to perform post-shooting effects to give you the best color balance and/or black and white enhanced shots available.
    
3. What kind of input can we have on the direction of the shots? Can we give you a shot list to work from?  The answer to these questions are yes. I have a standard list of shots that I have developed over 30 years of shooting weddings and engagements. This is a good starting point for you to add or delete as your personal choice and family situation dictates.
    
4. Are you the wedding photographer who will actually take our pictures? If not, can we meet the person who will be? I am the primary photographer. Based on our initial meeting(s) I have three other photographers that I use - each with their own special attributes that will best meet the needs of your day.
    
5. Can we meet any assistants who will also be our taking pictures? Naturally, I meet with each client well before the wedding day. At that meeting I have a checklist that I use to go over everything from guests, to photos you want, to pricing. I also make arrangements to visit the church, the reception location, the bride's and groom's home (if you are wanting photos at those locations as you prepare for your day. The first meeting is at not charge or obligation to you. If you decide to use another photographer, I will leave the photo checklist and other items that will assist you in your final decision on who you choose to help you capture your day.
    
6. How many times have you worked specifically as a wedding photographer? How many were similar to the size and formality of our wedding? I shot my first wedding when I was in college - over 30 years ago. I have shot over 100 weddings throughout the years - ranging from chapel weddings with 20 or 30 guests and wedding parties of 4 or less, to weddings with 400 guests and wedding parties of 16 or more. Many of my weddings have been formal military weddings and I have shot a few Scottish weddings/
   
   How many other events will you also photograph that weekend? When I commit to a wedding, I try (though not always successfully) to avoid any other major commitments for 2 or 3 days before the wedding and for 3 or 4 days after the wedding. This gives me time to visit the various locations that I will be shooting and also to meet with the bride - groom - parents - and most importantly, with the preacher or priest. One thing that many photographers forget is that the wedding is a religious ceremony when performed in a church or synagogue and the clergy will determine if photography is allowed during the ceremony and to what extent.
    
7. What kind of equipment will you bring with you? How intrusive will lighting, tripods, other equipment or assistants be? I typically bring my camera, a backup camera, a tripod and a single light stand and softbox. I will make the final determination on what will be best after seeing the locations. For example, for formal photos of groups, if the location has white walls and low white ceilings with natural light from windows, I will use a single flash and bounce fill. If the walls are dark, then I will suggest using a larger off camera light source with a 40 inch softbox to properly photograph the bridal party, families, etc. Again, you make the final determination - it is your day.
   
   Do you process your own work?  The answer to this is yes and no. I have over $2500.00 of software designed specifically for post production work. However, if you want a stretched canvas 20x24 formal bridal portrait - I use TNT Color Labs in Greenville, SC. I have been working with them since 1974 and their work is 'by-hand' and I have never had a bad product from them.
    
8. Can we buy the digital negatives from you? Yes, if you look at our packages you will see that all shot that I shoot are put onto a CD or DVD for you to order more prints later. This allows you to go to CVS and order a standard machine print OR to come back to us and we can order a hand-made photo by number.

After you’ve asked these questions of your potential wedding photographer, there are several questions you’ll want to ask yourself:

1. Do I like this person? Do I get along with them or get a good feeling from them?
