Ask to see a full wedding gallery.
A portfolio shows taste; a full gallery shows consistency. Look at how the photographer handles the morning, family groups, the ceremony, portraits and a dark dance floor — and whether the photographs still feel connected as one story.
My galleries combine documentary moments, movement, black and white, and a small number of gently directed portraits. The balance changes with every couple, venue and celebration.
Notice how the communication feels.
Clear answers, thoughtful questions and a straightforward booking process are good signs. You should understand what is included, when the date is secured and what happens closer to the wedding.
I observe for most of the day and give simple direction during portraits. Family groups usually follow your own list, and I am happy to help when needed. Outside those moments, I photograph what is already happening.
Ask the practical questions before you book.
Share what matters to you and ask about coverage, delivery, backup equipment and what happens if the schedule changes. The answers should be specific, not vague promises.
Most of this can be handled clearly by email. Once the wedding timeline begins to take shape, a meeting online or in person is the right time to go through the day in detail.
