How to choose a photographer
Judge full galleries, not highlight reels. Ask to see one or two complete deliveries from real bookings, that shows consistency across a whole event, not just the ten best frames. For weddings, get a written agreement covering hours, deliverables, delivery time, usage rights and what happens if the day runs long. Confirm how many edited images you receive and whether prints or albums cost extra, digital only packages are the norm.
Common mistakes to avoid: booking on price without seeing a full gallery, leaving the wedding photographer until the venue and date are locked and the good ones are booked, and not agreeing usage rights in writing if you need the photos for business use.
