3. Wedding photography - How to ask the right questions

Effectively communicating with your photographer is the only way to ensure you get exactly what you want. Don't be afraid to ask them lots of questions. Make sure you find out exactly what the wedding package includes. Will they stick around for the speeches and the first dance? How much will extra prints cost?

Also check how they plan to deal with any adverse weather conditions. Do they have a contingency plan if it rains? It's a good idea to take your wedding photographer along to visit the venue so you can discuss these things. They may not be familiar with the location so it's also the perfect opportunity to share ideas and discuss specific shots you would like, and those you're not so keen on.

Finally, ask how the pictures will be presented to you. Will there be an album with a set number of prints included in the price, or does your photographer have a service where the images are printed directly into a photographic book? Will the images be available for guests to view and buy online? Often it's the way the pictures are presented that can be just as important as the actual photographs themselves.
