Besides having the highest number of hotels and casinos in any one place in the world, and having the largest conference and banquet accommodations of any other city, Las Vegas is the place many people worldwide choose to have their special occasion at, whether it be a birthday, wedding, reception, engagement, or family reunion celebration. You would think such as metropolitan area would offer up 100′s of photographers to capture all the moments of such events in order to remember them forever. Choosing just one company or photographer is a daunting task. The main thing to remember is, ask a lot of questions until you are satisfied.
You may ask other questions like: Will you develop your own film? Will we be able to buy the negatives from you? What is your indoor and/or outdoor shooting experience? How many photographs are usually taken for a party of our size? What size of photos can be ordered? How long will it take to have them processed and ready to view?
A good photographer with experience should be able to contribute his/her ideas about the shots, making sure they are in the best interest of a good shot that will be part of all the memorabelia capturing this event. He/She might suggest a glamor shot just for the bride, bride and groom, bride/groom with mother/father, bride and bridesmaid, best man and groom, separate shots of each in the wedding party, and get good large group shots where everyone in the picture looks their very best. Reception shots should be candid and include each and every guest in a flattering way. Quickness and efficiency is important to catch just the moment in time when it happens.
Are you familiar with the casino our guests are staying overnight at? Does the contract stipulate a guarantee of work provided? How many hours will be expected to do the job? If the cost a set rate, or hour by hour, how will this affect the resulting work?
Asking important questions will help ensure that you get exactly what you want from your photo session. You want to avoid surprises and get exactly what you pay for. Asking questions helps to ensure that you and your photographer are on the same page and there is no guess work happening.
