20 Questions to Ask Your Toronto Wedding Photographer Before You Book
Asking the right questions upfront can be the difference between a wedding day that's captured exactly how you imagined it and one where you're left wishing you'd asked more. Here are 20 questions worth bringing to any consultation with a Toronto wedding photographer — including us.
Style, Experience & Portfolio
What is your photography style?
What's your experience shooting weddings?
How many weddings do you shoot per year?
Can I see examples of your work — ideally full galleries, not just highlight reels?
Can you provide references or reviews from previous clients?
Coverage on the Day
What packages do you offer?
How many hours will you be shooting on my wedding day?
Do you have a second shooter or assistant?
What's your backup plan if something goes wrong — illness, gear failure, or an emergency?
Will you need a meal during the reception?
Delivery & Editing
How long after the wedding will we receive our photos?
Will you edit the photos, and what does that process look like?
Can we request specific shots or poses?
What's your policy on sharing photos on social media or online?
Booking, Pricing & Policies
Do you require a deposit?
What's your cancellation policy?
Do you have liability insurance? (Many venues require this from vendors.)
What kind of equipment do you use?
Do you offer engagement sessions?
What's your pricing for additional hours, prints, or albums?
Why This List Matters
Every one of these questions protects you from a surprise later — whether that's a photographer without a backup plan, a delivery timeline that doesn't match your expectations, or pricing that balloons once prints and albums get added on. A photographer who answers these clearly and without hesitation is telling you a lot about how they'll handle your actual wedding day.
If you're currently interviewing Toronto wedding photographers, feel free to bring this list with you — and if you'd like to know how Maple & Clover answers each of these, I'd be glad to walk through them with you directly.
