TIP - Meet face to face with prospective candidates.

When you go to the meeting, discuss all parameters of the wedding packages, check out the portfolio and sample albums, talk about the shot list (most experienced wedding photographers already have a shot list well-memorized), and listen to the photographers responses.

Is he/she courteous, friendly and well-versed? Or bossy and demanding? THere's a lot of trudging to be done on your wedding day and you'll be spending much time together. Trust is very important, and so is a strong rapport.

Never Make Hasty Decisions or Let High-Pressure Salesman Sell You on the Services Immediately. If You Feel Rushed Back Out Now!
