What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

The specific date and location of the wedding are essential to determine availability and potential travel expenses.
A detailed timeline of the wedding day, including the start and end times of various events (ceremony, reception, etc.), helps in planning the photographer's coverage.
Understanding the couple's preferred photography style (e.g., traditional, candid, photojournalistic) helps in aligning expectations and delivering the desired results.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Start by researching wedding photographers in your area. Look at their portfolios, websites, and social media accounts to get a sense of their style and the quality of their work. Read reviews and testimonials from past clients to gauge their satisfaction.
Schedule a meeting or video call with potential photographers to get to know them better. A personal connection is crucial, as the photographer will be capturing intimate moments on your wedding day.

Check Experience and Specialization: Ensure the photographer has experience in wedding photography. Wedding photography requires specific skills, such as the ability to work in various lighting conditions and capture candid moments. Some photographers may specialize in a particular style, so find one whose style aligns with your preferences.
Don't rely solely on the highlight reels. Request to see full wedding albums or galleries from previous weddings they have shot. This will give you a better idea of their consistency and how they handle the entire event.
Clearly understand the photographer's packages, pricing, and what is included in each package. Inquire about any additional costs for services like extra hours, travel, or prints.

Ask About Backup Plans: Inquire about their contingency plans in case of emergencies or unforeseen circumstances on the wedding day. A professional should have backup equipment and a plan to handle unexpected situations.
Ensure there is a written contract outlining all the details, including the services provided, pricing, deliverables, and the photographer's responsibilities. This helps protect both parties and provides clarity on expectations.
If possible, opt for an engagement session with the photographer. It will give you a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera and build rapport with the photographer before the big day.
Clearly communicate your preferences, any specific shots you want, and the overall vibe you envision for your wedding photos. A professional photographer should be able to understand your vision and incorporate it into their work.
