Tips on Hiring an Event Photographer

Page 4 of 4

Issues to resolve before the event

• Inform the photographer completely what the job includes: Times, locations, contact(s), guests, etc.
• Types of photos (specific shots of individuals, scenes, decorations, food)
• Be specific on what shots you want, the photographer is not a mind reader.
• Contact the photographer prior to the event to confirm all the details.
• Be sure all arrangements have been made for the photographer's needs, including settings, subjects, lighting, security passes, etc.
• If someone from your staff is to work directly with the photographer, has that person been contacted and arrangements finalized?
