What questions do you wish you asked in advance?

kimmiinthemitten · August 2015

Hi all, I'm researching local photographers now and am putting together a spreadsheet (I'm excel obsessed I think).

All of the people I'll be calling have been referrals. Aside from the obvious logistical questions (is my date available, how many of you are there etc), what questions do you wish you asked and what questions are you glad you asked?

TIA for you input:).

You may have already booked, but something important to ask, to see portfolio and really look at the photos. If the BM dresses are different colors, like blue in one picture and purple in another, was that a photoshop or bad lightening. Here are a few more things

Will I get photos on a CD or USB Stick
Do I get rights to photos
Do I have to order prints through you
How long will it take for you to proof & edit any photos before I get to see them
If I order prints through you, how long will it take to get them back
Will the photos be available online for others to view & if they want to order prints (great option if immediate family is out of town)

Thanks! These are great!

We looked at each referrals website and graded them A thru E, and we're calling all of our A ranks for quotes. I didn't even think about the photoshop vs lighting in albums nor about the length of time until we see something back! 1 and 2 were a must have for us:).
