Faqs About Hiring A Montreal Wedding Photographer

By Lynn Beard


Planning for your big day can be a bit overwhelming. There is so much to do and so many details to attend to. One thing that you want to be sure to pay close attention to is selecting your Montreal wedding photographer. You want to be sure to choose the best person for the job. Remember, that this person will be chronicling this big day. You will want photos that can be looked at year after year and remember the joy that you feel on your special day.

When it comes to your pictures, you do not want to use an armature. These pictures are going to be cherished memories. Hire someone who is a professional. They will have the proper training and the experience to make sure your pictures turn out great.

To begin your relationship you should meet far ahead of the actual day of the ceremony. During your meeting you will be able to ask questions. You will also get information on cost and about the different packages that are available. At this time you should also be allowed to look at pictures from past jobs. Look them over to see if they are done in a style that fits in with what you envision for your own photos.

If you are unhappy with the samples that are shown, keep looking. One person's style cannot be right for everyone. Find one whose style meshes well with your own.

Another commonly heard query is how many professionals to meet with. You should meet with several, at least two or three. This will help you to get an idea as to a reasonable fee and what to expect. You can then compare and choose which gives you the best price along with the most for your money.

The happy couple must come up with a list of the important photos that they absolutely want. The person taking the pictures does not know your family and friends, it is not fair to expect them to know the photo groups that you want. Take some time to write up a list of those you want posed together. During the reception point out those who you want photographed. This will help you avoid disappointment later.

Get everything in writing in your contract. Your contract is to protect both parties. Everything you discuss as far as pricing and what you are getting, should be in the contract. If something were to go wrong, the contract is your proof. If you agree on something that is not written into the contract, you will have no recourse later. The contract will take precedence over your verbal agreement.

Keep in touch with your Montreal wedding photographer in the days and weeks leading up to the big day. This helps ensure that everyone is on the same page and that there are no mix-ups. Just a quick check in from time to time is all that is needed. If you have to change anything make him or her aware of this as far in advance as possible.
