Things to make sure you consider when meeting with potential photographers:
- Follow them on Instagram or other photography platforms.
- Do they post frequently? How often does the photographer post on their social media? Are they updating their portfolio regularly or do they only have work from years past? Is their content relevant?
- Do you love their style? If you are not keen on a photographers work or if their style of shooting isn’t something you enjoy then why consider them to be your photographer? The work you are seeing from them is their portfolio and how they shoot. If you are not happy with the photography you are seeing, then you may not be happy with the work you will receive in the end.
- Are they a wedding factory? Or are they a boutique style studio taking only a select number of weddings per year?
- Having a boutique style studio you most likely will experience a more personal approach and clientele experience, whereas working with a huge cooperation or company you may not get that special one-on-one time you deserve.

The more recent and positive reviews a photographer may have, the more recently they have been working and giving that positive experience their clients are mentioning in the reviews.
- Read the vendors responses to the photographers reviews.
