What questions should you ask a wedding photographer after booking?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12

Short answer

Ask about the timeline for receiving your photos, how many images you will get, and what happens if they are ill on the day. Also confirm how they will deliver the gallery and whether you can order prints through them.

After you have booked your photographer, ask practical questions so there are no surprises later. Confirm the exact delivery time for your edited photos, usually a few weeks or months, and whether that is a set number of images or a range. Ask how they will send the gallery, for example through an online link, and how long it stays available for you to download. Check their backup plan if they are unwell on the day, and whether a second photographer or associate will step in. Ask about their editing style, whether they do colour correction and retouching, and if you can request black and white versions. Clarify if you have print rights or if you must order prints through them. Also ask about their policy on sharing photos on social media and whether you can tag them. Finally, ask if they have a contract that covers cancellation or rescheduling, and what happens if you need to move your date. These questions will help you feel secure and know exactly what to expect after your wedding day.
