If you want more time at your reception with family and friends, ask about how long group shots and couple portraits take. Typically, if you have 1.5-2 hours between your ceremony and wedding breakfast (pretty standard), you ‘ll want to know how quickly we can get through the important shots. Here is my usual timeline:
• Group shots: 15-20 minutes for 5-8 groups
• Couple portraits: 20-30 minutes
That leaves 30-40 minutes for candid shots. Keep in mind, the longer your guests gather, the longer it takes.

Make sure you know when and how you get your photos. Will your guests be able to download them easily?

Ask about any extra fees. If albums are included, find out how many spreads or pages come with the package. 50-70 pages is a good range; fewer than 40 might require an upgrade.

If you prefer to keep your photos private, mention this upfront. Some photographers rely on sharing content to book future weddings.

Life happens! Make sure your photographer has a backup plan (e.g., a trusted photographer they can recommend).
⚡️When chatting with your wedding photographer, pay attention to the vibe. If you feel connected, relaxed, and enjoy the conversation that Is a good sign! I do my best work when couples trust me, and we can joke and chat. It’s a key for natural, authentic photos.
