Choosing who will do your wedding reportage is a very important election and usually it is given less importance than it should actually have. The video and photo shoot will help you remember that special day. Therefore it is very important to hire a professional photographer specialized in wedding reportage, so that the bride is not left in the hands of an amateur friend.

There are many aspects to consider:

1. It is essential to ask your wedding photographer if you have your wedding date available and how long in advance can you book his services. (Some will not take bookings earlier than one year)

2. If you hire an agency dedicated to wedding photography, try to be specific about which the staff photographers will shoot during your day. Many agencies send non-seasoned beginners and in the end the result could not be what you saw in the agency portfolio.

3. Inquire about his / her experience in weddings. It is much recommended to choose a photographer who has an extensive experience in weddings. There are many good photographers in other categories, but wedding photography requires being very familiar with the matter.

4. Find out what style of wedding photography you would like. The wedding photographer should be able to show you the complete story of a wedding, so you can assess whether it fits with what you are looking for.

5. Make sure your venue falls into the photographer's coverage area, and whether there will be mileage or transport surcharges to your package.

6. Some photographers stay until the first dance. If you want 'full coverage' of your wedding, make sure you and the photographer have clear when he will stop shooting to avoid misunderstandings.

7. If you have any specific requirements (moments you would like to be shot, guests that should be given special attention, etc), make sure you discuss this beforehand. The photographer will make his / her best to capture the general ambiance of the event, however there can be surprises, such as 'There are hardly any pictures of aunt Margaret and uncle Ben'. Therefore you should make sure you discuss this with your photographer.

8. Require a written contract in order to have everything defined between the parties. Your contract should specify what is included in your wedding package, and what the surcharges are for extra albums, additional hours of coverage, etc.

I hope that you choose a professional photographer who suits your style and budget, and enjoy your reportage in years to come.
