Type of equipment is moot, if you love their style. Having backup equipment and backup photographer in event of emergency, as well as liability insurance are very fair questions….absolutely seeing complete weddings relevant to the clients’ wedding, also great. I stress not to over emphasize quantity of photos, but more rather the photographer’s effectiveness in telling a story, I see redundancy as no value.

Giving other clients’ information is a no go. How would you feel if you got a call from a stranger when you signed up for a discreet experience? Online reviews and work are great track record indicators. Many lists found online, but some of it goes too far. If the client is here talking with me, they should already know at least some of those answers, as far as what makes me different and if my style is compatible with what they want. From there on it’s to establish the clients’ needs and final vetting. As well as personality compatibility. My 2 cents to add, thanks for the article!
