Questions To Ask Your Wedding Photographer (And My Honest Answers!)
Choosing your wedding photographer is one of the biggest decisions you'll make while planning your big day. These are the images you'll look back on for the rest of your life- so it's important to find someone whose work you love and someone you trust to capture you with care.
As a Kansas City Wedding Photographer, I know how overwhelming the search can feel. To help you make a confident decision, I'm sharing the top questions couples should ask when hiring a wedding photographer- along with my own honest answers to each one.
#1 Whats your photography style?
I specialize in natural, clean, and timeless imagery. My goal is to tell your story in a way that feels true to you- capturing candid emotions, soft light, and all the in-between moments that make your day unique. I love a classic, romantic look that won't feel trendy or dated years from now.
#2 Will we feel comfortable in front of your camera?
Absolutely! One of the things I hear most from my couples is how relaxed and at ease they felt during our time together. I gently guide you with natural prompts (no stiff poses), so everything feels more like a sweet moment that a photo shoot. My priority is making you fell seen, comfortable, and beautiful just as you are.
#3 How many weddings have you photographed?
I've had the honor of photographing over 20 weddings and counting in my short 2 years of doing this. Each one has taught me something new, and with every wedding I bring not only my camera but my experience, calm under pressure, and deep passion for documenting love stories.
#4 Do you have a backup equipment and a back up plan?
Yes, absolutely! I bring multiple camera bodies, lenses, memory cards, and batteries to every wedding. I also back up your photos in multiple places as soon as I get home. Your memories are too important to leave to chance, and I take every precaution to keep them safe.
#5 How long does it take to get our photos back?
You'll receive a full, beautifully edited online gallery within 6-8 weeks of your wedding day. I also send a sneak peek gallery within 24 hours so you can relive some highlights while the excitement is still fresh!
#6 Can we see a full wedding gallery?
Of course! I believe in full transparency. I'm happy to share a few full galleries so you can see how I capture a complete day - from getting ready to the dance floor. Just reach out and I'll send over a few examples that match your wedding vibe.
#7 What's it like to work with you?
i'm more than just a photographer- I'm your biggest cheerleader, dress fluffer, and quiet observer all in one. I show up prepared, with a calming presence and an eye for the moments that matter most. My approach is organized, thoughtful, and always heart- centered.
