How to Prepare For Your Wedding Consultation?

 Take notes during wedding consultation

Have a pen and paper handy so you can look back over all the information you discuss. If you are talking to more than one photographer this is incredibly important to be able to compare your likes and dislikes.

 Expect to make a deposit

If you absolutely love the photographer, you need to be ready to make a deposit to reserve him or her.

 Talk about what you want

It’s helpful if you know ahead of time what kind of photos you want. Are there certain aspects you for sure want photographed? Tell the photographer. If you meet in person, it’s a good idea to bring photos that capture your vision.

Ask to see a full portfolio

The best way to get an idea of how the photographer will shoot your wedding is if they show you a full wedding they have done before. You’ll want to know if their style of shooting will match up to what you want and it will give you an idea of how and what they shoot.

One final tip; don’t be afraid to ask questions. You want to make sure you are choosing the best photographer for your wedding day and asking questions about how they work, solve problems or handle cancellations, will give you better peace of mind that you are booking the right one for you.
