5 Questions to Ask Your Photographer (Before Booking!!)

Chances are, this is your first time booking a photographer. And I’m gonna take a WILD guess and say this is your first time booking a professional photographer … EVER. So you’re feeling just a biiiit stressed about making such a big decision. Kinda like everything else in wedding planning I digress. Back on track — NO FEAR, your friendly neighborhood wedding photographer is here!!!

Here are 5 questions you must ask your wedding photographer before making the decision to book!!

ASK TO SEE A FULL GALLERY

It’s really important to see pictures from different lighting situations throughout the day (specifically low light situations).

ASK ABOUT SECOND PHOTOGRAPHERS

If you’re planning on having 100 guests or more at your wedding, a second photographer is definitely worth considering. Sometimes they’re included in your package, sometimes they’re a la carte. Ask your photographer what they recommend for your wedding!

Check out this blog post for more info about second photographers!

ASK WHAT THEIR BACKUP PLAN IS

This one stinks, but it’s important to know what their backup plan is if they can’t photograph your wedding last minute (this is also where a second photographer comes in handy!!).

ASK ABOUT ALBUMS

Are they included in your package? Is there a discount in your package? Does your photographer create custom albums? Do you have the option to create your own album? All very important questions, my friend!!

ASK FOR VENDOR RECOMMENDATIONS

Wedding photographers work with a ton of different vendors and can recommend vendors they’ve worked with before that would be great for your specific wedding!!

I hope this helped!! Wedding planning can be a doozy but just take everything one at a time and put in your due diligence and it will all be okay 🙂 For more information, check out my blog posts about 4 MORE questions to ask your wedding photographer and why you should book your dream photographer.

“Gabriella was absolutely amazing!!! Words cannot even describe how perfect she was, but I’ll try my best. Right from the beginning, I knew she was the one. She was so caring, calming, organized, and just a genuinely happy person. She made me feel even more excited for my wedding. She was so helpful throughout the entire process right down to the big day. AND THE PICTURES - OH MY GOD. They are absolutely breathtaking and she definitely tells the story of your day in the most perfect way. She captures every precious moment while having a smile on her face the whole time she’s with you. I can’t say enough amazing things about her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to have the BEST photographer for any occasion. We had such an amazing experience with Gabriella and we can’t thank her enough!”

“Gabriella is a very great planner, very organized and an absolute delight to work with. Her planning and organization helped me prepare for the big day without any fear that I left any important photo out. Her planning skills ensured I didn't miss any details. She is such a delight to work with she was even happy to help me with my little surprise I had for my husband, it went off without a hitch. She captured all the photos we could imagine....all the fun, sweet, sincere moments throughout the day. She even provided the photos to us in a timely manner. I HIGHLY recommend her; she's highly energetic, personable, easy to work with, a planner, organized, and she captured lots of beautiful pictures. She exceeded all of my expectations. She was such a great photographer.”

"Exceeded all my expectations"

Making my dream wedding come true!
Gabriella was hired by my (now) husband, as a surprise photographer for our proposal. She was phenomenal and we hired her for our wedding as well! Her energy and vision for our wedding photos captured every moment and emotion. She was amazing in every way. Her attention to detail and knowing what was important to me on my big day was awesome - she went the extra mile. I would 10/10 recommend her to any one wanting to capture beautiful moments in life - for their engagement, wedding, and more.

"She went the extra mile."

- Megan W.

Hiring Gabriella was one of the best decisions that we made during our wedding planning. From our very first conversation, Gabriella was warm & bubbly. She radiates positive energy that I knew that we needed for our big day. Gabriella has a vigorous work ethic and eye for detail. Her ability to transform any setting is pure magic. We enjoyed working with her throughout the planning process and are absolutely thrilled with our engagement and wedding photos (which she had edited and back to us in less than one month!).

"One of the best decisions"

- Lisette & Tyrus b.

What can we say about Gabriella Marie Photography. There are so many words to describe the amazing job Gabriella did on our special wedding day. Gabriella will not only shoot your wedding, she can help you design what your wedding will be. She is there every step of the way. She has amazing attention to detail. Before the big day, Gabriella has a plan that will ensure that your day will be spectacular. She is always available via text, call, direct message, FaceTime or Zoom. Gabriella is the absolute best photographer ever. The best quality that she has is that she is more than a photographer, she is a true friend. She cares about her clients and makes us feel like a trust-worthy friend is there to help. For example, she sent my wife and I a pre-wedding care package. This gift proved to be so valuable for us while dealing with wedding stress. This gift was the most thoughtful thing my wife and I ever received. A simple thank you is just only the tip of the iceberg with regarding Gabriella Marie Photography. Everyone please check out our new friend Gabriella. Trust us, she is worth every penny and more.
