- Most weddings run over time. If you employ a photographer for a set number of hours, make sure they're not going to disappear just before you cut the cake. It's important to discuss a contingency plan or to find a photographer that is going to be flexible with the arrangements.
- Don't just go by the look of the photographs. Make sure your photographer is someone that you can get along with and that listens precisely to you requirements.
- Ask to see a previous wedding shoot from start to finish - not just the photographs that the photographer has chosen to show you. This will give you the most accurate idea of what the photographers work is like.
- Ask them if they have any backup equipment.
