  Ask them if they bring an assistant or how many photographers will be there; if there are any incentives (for example, my photographer included an engagement session in our package); how many hours are included; if their packages include the rights to the photos

  Ditto on the rights to the photos. Ask them if you get a high-resolution CD of all the wedding photos. Don't be afraid to negotiate their photography packages. I told mine I didn't want the wedding album, I just wanted the photos on a CD so I could make my own. This way I didn't have to pay extra.
  
  And you should meet with your final choices in person to make sure they are a good fit for you and your wedding.

  Ask to look at complete albums from other weddings they've done. Albums that show only "best-of" pictures aren't really an accurate representation of their work. They should be able to see from beginning to end how their work looks and feels.

  <div>This is SO important.  We met with one photog that we really liked and noticed that a few of her albums had turned out "fuzzy."  I was actually a bit surprised that she chose to show those to us and made no comment about how they looked.  Needless to say, we did not end up going with her :)</div>

  Look for limitations.  If they limit the number of hours, the number of images, the amount of time the images are hosted online or anything else - ask why.  If you pay over 2k you should absolutely get the discs of every finished image.  Ask about hidden fees like touch-ups or travel fees and such.

  I know you didn't ask for suggestions but I always recommend Melissa Deschamp whenever I can!

  Also ask if they are insured...what happens if they are sick...what are some challenges they don't like dealing with at weddings...ask about if they have a solo shooter policy (like are they unwilling to work if you have a videographer)....
