The important questions to ask before you choose your destination wedding photographer

When you are planning a destination wedding, choosing a photographer becomes even more difficult. This can especially cause a lot of stress and anxiety to couples who may be misled by incapable photographers and get poor quality photographs despite spending a fortune on the travel and accommodation for the photographers. If you are worried about how to pick and opt for a good wedding photographer for your destination wedding ceremony, there are a couple of measures that you can use to know whether you can trust them with the responsibility or not.

1. Meeting

Now it is very likely that a physical meeting will not be possible for your destination St Augustine Wedding photographer or Miami Wedding photographers since generally they may be from a different place than you, setting up a meeting over skype or video messengers can be a good idea to ensure you are on the same page. In the meeting, ask about the style of photography they specialize in. With a quick research on the different styles, you will be able to filter out the ones who are adept at doing what you like.|

2. Budget

Set a budget that you are comfortable at and discuss this with your photographer. When booking a photographer, you will need to pay for their travel and accommodation expenses, so ask your photographer to submit a proposal with an approximation of the costs involved. Ensure that this is a comprehensive budget to avoid any nasty surprises on your wedding day. Remember to ask if they are having an assistant accompanying them since this may affect the cost.

3. Look at their portfolio

This is an important aspect of knowing how your photographer is at handling different challenges. If you want a better look at their work, you can even visit their social media handles to ensure that they are, in fact, capable of handling the shoot and any challenges that may occur, like weather issues etc.

4. Enquire about the post-production

While your photographer may take good pictures, an equally important aspect is that of post-production. Ask if the photographer offers post-production or if there are additional costs involved. Post-production can greatly improve the quality of the photos and turn them into brilliant from great.

5. Itinerary

Ensure to ask the photographer about their itinerary for the entire wedding day. Ask if they can stay back after the event if it runs long, their mode of interaction with the guests and ensure that they do not cause annoyance or distract anyone. Ensure to specify any dress codes if applicable.

6. Method of receiving the pictures

Clarify how you are going to be receiving these pictures, whether you are going to get something in print or whether they will be emailed to you, the number of photos, the resolution, and the format. Don't forget to ask the crucial question of when you are going to receive the pictures as well. 

Thus, with these tips, you can ensure you and your photographer are on the same page and find the best photographer for your wedding.|
