While you may not want to fork out a huge wad of cash to a wedding band, you may fall in love with some glamourous cakes. For me, although I&#8217;m currently not engaged or making any official wedding plans, I already know the one major thing I want to spend on (besides the venue), and that is photography.<\/p>\n<p>For a million reasons, I would certainly put photography in front of the dress, the food, <a title=\"music\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingdates.ie\/blog\/winter-music-playlist\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">music<\/a> etc. Personally, I want to capture those moments forever. And I also consider myself to be quite a visual person (my Instagram profile can&#8217;t go half a day without being updated) and find myself drooling over compositions instead of cakes in wedding photos.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway! If you&#8217;re a little like me and you want a top notch wedding photographer, you must be willing to fork out the cash. And if you&#8217;re even more like me, you&#8217;ll be pretty thorough in your research for a an amazing wedding photographer. Here are some key questions to ask them:<\/p>\n<p>What is your preferred style of photography to use? Traditional, artistic, natural light, photojournalism?<\/p>\n<p>How many weddings have you shot in your career?<\/p>\n<p>Do you shoot more than one wedding a day? Will you stay throughout the day?<\/p>\n<p>Have you shot at my venue before? If not, are you willing to visit the site beforehand?<\/p>\n<p>Do you bring your own lighting?<\/p>\n<p>Do you follow a shot list? if you do, can I see it? If not, can I request some photos?<\/p>\n<p>How many hours are included in your package? What are your overtime costs?<\/p>\n<p>Do you bring a second shooter?<\/p>\n<p>How many images do you take at the wedding? How many weddings will I see?<\/p>\n<p>Do I receive a disc of images or do I have to order all prints through you?<\/p>\n<p>Is an album included?<\/p>\n<p>Will you use my images for advertising?<\/p>\n<p>How much is the deposit?<\/p>\n<p>Do you include engagement photos in your package?<\/p>\n<p>When do we need to give our final decision by?<\/p>\n<p><em>Image via <a title=\"Etsy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/FalconandFinch\" class=\"broken_link\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Etsy<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I think when it comes to weddings, every bride and couple realize early on that there are only a number of aspects of the wedding they want to splurge on.
