First Photographer Meeting in a few hours! - ADVICE

So, I'm meeting with a photographer in a little while.  I know all of the general questions you are supposed to ask yadda yadda.  I'm just curious out of those who have met and BOOKED a photographer, what is the most important question (in your mind) that should be asked?

    What is their backup plan if they get ill and do they have backup equipment?

    Also, what happens if you run over in time (if you have a time limit)?
    Are the photos you receive with printing rights (again, if this is part of the package, high resolution?
    What is their turn around time on editing?
    Those are usually the technicals that people don't think about. Good luck, have fun, and enjoy!

    Well I am a wedding photographer and have to say that all the brides love doing a first look. If your not familar with that, the bride and groom will see each other and take pictures before the actual wedding. "first look" it is a very clever idea, Youll be looking fresh and beautiful for your pictures! If this photographer doesnt work out please feel free to view my work as well:) 


    Hope this helps!

    "Can I see a portfolio of an entire wedding that you shot?"

    The best photos are posted on the websites and blogs--not the ones in the middle of a ceremony in harsh sunlight or at a reception in a dark room.  Make sure that your photographer can handle the type of setting that you will be having at your wedding and that you still like what you see.
