Before you can find the right photographer for your Vegas wedding, you need to interview several candidates first. Below are the top questions you should ask your potential photographer so you can determine whether he or she is the best person for the job. I've divided them according to the category they belong to:
Style
– What photography style do you specialize in?
– Do you mostly prefer traditional, candid, illustrative, photo journalistic, or a mixture of several styles?
– How will the photos turn out? Colored, black & white, or sepia?
– Do you use digital or film photography?
– Are you using the latest techniques in wedding photography?
– Can I see your Vegas wedding photography portfolio?
Experience
– How long have you been working as a wedding photographer in Vegas?
– What is your professional background?
– What are your credentials and qualifications?
– Are you an active member of any certified wedding photography associations or organizations?
– How many previous and current clients do you have?
– Can you get me some of your clients' phone numbers so I can ask them some questions?
Nature of Work
– Are you a freelancer or do you work for a studio?
– Are you the one who's going to take the actual wedding photos? If not, then can I meet the designated photographer?
– Will you be bringing assistants with you? Can I meet them as well? Are they qualified to assist you? Is there an additional cost for their services?
Price
– What is your current rate?
– Do you charge by the hour or offer a flat fee?
– Can you give me the exact amount of the costs in a detailed form?
– How much do you charge for extended hours?
– Will I be able to refund my deposit if I decide to back out?
Legality
– Do you provide a written contract for all your wedding projects?
– Do you have liability insurance in case something goes out of hand?
Location
– Is my Vegas wedding location an ideal place to take pictures?
– Have you previously covered a wedding at the same location? How did it turn out?
Lighting
– Is the indoor and outdoor lighting of the location sufficient?
– What adjustments should be made?
Engagement Session
– Which locations in Vegas would you suggest for the engagement session?
– Is there a separate fee for the session or is it already included in the photography package?
Photography Package
– How many shots are included?
– How many photo albums will you provide?
– What exactly does the package include?
Other Concerns
– What will happen if an emergency comes up and you can not make it to my wedding?
– Is it okay for my guests to also take pictures while you're covering the event?
– Do you take special photo requests? Can I give you a list of the specific shots I want?
– What will you and your assistants wear?
– What time will you arrive to the event?
– Is my wedding the only event you're going to cover for that day, or do you have other engagements?
Be sure you list down these questions so you will not forget to ask them during the interviews. Observe how well a candidate answers your questions; the person that gives you the most satisfying answers could be the one you're looking for. Just be persistent and patient with your search and ever you'll find the perfect Vegas wedding photographer for you.
