1. Ask for Full Portfolio

When you obtain links to the photographer’s work, take a quick look at the quality of the first images they display. This is usually an indicator of their ceiling or greatest work to date, and while it is intriguing, it is rarely beneficial. Instead, you should evaluate the photographer’s consistency. In other words, what is their average?

The easiest way to tell is to request a couple of complete, deliverable galleries. In these galleries, check for important pictures, the quality of most shots, any areas where the photographer succeeds or needs to improve, and consider if you would be satisfied with this level of results. If you can locate a gallery at the same site that you have booked for your wedding, this is a huge plus since the photographer will know ideal spots and the lay of the land.

2. Testimonials and Reviews

Testimonials and reviews are essential in any business, but when you’re entrusting something so significant to someone you don’t know, they may be critical in deciding whether or not to hire someone. Testimonials are usually cherry-picked, but if there are enough of them and they can be verified, they can be reassuring. You’ll probably have to do some homework to discover all of the reviews, such as using Google, Facebook sites, and so on. Look up the name under which they do their wedding photography and see what you can discover.
