5 Things Couples Forget to Ask Their Wedding Photographer
(But Absolutely Should)
If you’re searching for the best wedding photographer for your day, here’s what you really need to know.
You’ve got the date. The venue. Maybe even the dress.
When planning your wedding, it’s easy to get caught up in checklists: the venue, the dress, the guest list, catering. And when it comes to photography, many couples start with the basics—pricing, availability, number of hours.
But choosing the best wedding photographer for you and your day—the person who will document the most intimate, once-in-a-lifetime moments—it’s easy to forget the questions that really matter.
As a photographer, I get asked a lot about things like packages, hours, and whether I shoot in RAW (spoiler alert: I do). But the most important questions? The ones that reveal how your memories will be preserved? Those often go unasked—and they’re the ones that truly shape your experience.
These questions go deeper. They reveal how your photographer works, how your story will be preserved, and whether you’re entrusting your memories to someone who understands the emotional weight of the day—not just the logistics.
So here are 5 thoughtful, often-forgotten questions you should ask every wedding photographer you’re considering. They’ll help you find someone who’s not just good—but genuinely the best fit for you.

How do you help couples feel comfortable in front of the camera?
Even the most camera-shy couples deserve images that feel effortless and authentic. If you’re not naturally photogenic—or just don’t love
being the center of attention—this is a make-or-break question.
The best wedding photographers create an environment where you can relax, be yourselves, and trust the process. It’s not about stiff poses—it’s about natural moments and emotional connection.
At LT² Photography, I use gentle, intentional guidance to help you connect with each other, not the camera. It’s not about performing—it’s about preserving the truth of your love story.
What does your process look like on the wedding day?
A great photographer is more than a vendor—they’re an intuitive presence on your day. Ask how they handle transitions, unexpected delays, or shifting light. Do they help shape your timeline, or quietly flow with the day?
Top wedding photographers understand how to balance artistry with adaptability. They’re prepared, calm, and always two steps ahead.
What does your post-wedding experience include?
The experience shouldn’t end when the cake is gone. Ask what’s included after the wedding—will you receive digital images only, or do they offer albums, custom artwork, or design support? What about an anniversary shoot?
The best wedding photographers think beyond the wedding day. They’re invested in how your story is remembered, printed, and passed on.
At LT² Photography, I offer both fine art albums and EverAfter storybooks—one of our exclusive signature albums which you can only get when you book LT² for your wedding. Our catalog of unique and exclusive keepsakes elevates your photos into heirlooms—crafted with purpose, designed as poetry for the soul, and which share the emotional depth only you and your beloved understand.
Do you offer All-Inclusive Wedding Photography + videography Packages with a unified approach?
Hiring a separate photo and video team can create chaos or competition. If you’re considering both, ask if your photographer offers a cohesive solution—or works closely with a filmmaking team that
aligns with their style. The best wedding photography and videography experiences are built on seamless collaboration and one shared artistic vision.
With LT², you can choose integrated coverage that blends cinematic film with emotional photography—no extra crew, no awkward overlap, just a beautifully cohesive story.
What’s most important to you when documenting a wedding?
This question reveals everything. You’re not just hiring a vendor—you’re inviting someone into your most intimate, emotional day. Their answer will tell you whether they’re a good technician… or a true storyteller.
For me, it’s about emotion over perfection. Real over polished. I’m drawn to the unspoken glances, the in-between moments, the legacy you’re creating. My work isn’t just about how your wedding looked—it’s about how it felt.
Final Thoughts: How to Find the Best Wedding Photographer for You
If you’re looking for the best wedding photographer, look beyond pricing and packages. Look for someone who listens, who guides, and who cares deeply about the experience— not just the images.
At LT² Photography, I don’t just show up with a camera—I show up with intention. To witness. To preserve. To honor your story with elegance, emotion, and meaning.
