You’ve found the venue and picked the date, and now it’s time to choose the perfect photographer to capture every magical moment of your wedding day. With so many talented photographers, it’s important to ask the right questions to make you find the perfect match for your vision, style, and personality. Here are five questions to ask your wedding photographer to ensure you’re on the same page and ready to create unforgettable memories together.

1. What is Your Photography Style?

Every photographer has a unique style, from classic and timeless to bold and artistic. Understanding your photographer’s style will help you determine if their aesthetic aligns with your vision for your wedding day. We specialize in capturing candid moments with a blend of photojournalistic and fine art approaches. Our goal is to create timeless images that reflect the genuine emotions and unique beauty of your love story.

2. Have You Worked at Our Venue Before?

While this should absolutely not be a make-or-break when choosing your photographer, it’s sometimes helpful to know ahead of time. Familiarity with your wedding venue can make a difference in how the photography process flows on your wedding day. We have experience working at various venues across Cleveland, including iconic landmarks like The Arcade and Sapphire Creek Winery. Our knowledge of these venues allows us to anticipate the best lighting, angles, and locations for stunning photos that truly capture the essence of your celebration. However, it’s impossible for us to have worked at every venue in Cleveland, so again, this is a “nice to know” but not a “must have” in our book when choosing a photographer.

3. What Collections Do You Offer?

Understanding the photographer’s pricing and collections is crucial for budget planning and ensuring you get the services you need. We offer customizable wedding photography packages tailored to fit your unique needs and preferences. Whether you’re looking for full-day coverage, engagement sessions, or additional albums and prints, we have options to suit every couple’s vision and budget.

4. How Do You Handle Unexpected Situations?

Weddings are full of surprises, from unpredictable weather to last-minute changes in the schedule. Knowing how your photographer will handle unexpected situations is essential to ensure your peace of mind on the big day. We pride ourselves on our flexibility, professionalism, and ability to adapt to any situation. Whether it’s raining cats and dogs or the cake doesn’t arrive on time, you can trust us to keep calm and capture every moment with grace and creativity.

5. What is Your Timeline and Process for Delivering Photos?

After the wedding day is over, you’ll be eagerly awaiting your photos to relive the magic all over again. It’s essential to have clear expectations about the timeline and process for receiving your images. We prioritize clear communication and efficient delivery of your photos. Our streamlined process ensures that you receive your edited images promptly, allowing you to cherish and share your memories for years.

Choosing the right wedding photographer is a crucial decision that will impact how you remember and cherish your special day for years to come. By asking these questions and ensuring clear communication with your photographer, you can rest assured that your wedding day memories will be captured beautifully.
