     How do you find a great photographer?  Start by asking your friends about their photographers and be sure to look at their finished albums.  Look for clear, bright images that are properly exposed,  retouched and technically correct.  The album should be organized to tell the story of the day with no events missing.  Ask your friends if their photographer was well dressed, friendly, and willing to help them have a really great day.
     The next step is to interview the person that would actually be your photographer on your big day.  Don't settle for just a receptionist or a pushy sales person.  Remember that the photographer is the one professional that will be with you before your wedding, during the ceremony, and at your reception.  Everyone will see him.  A pushy, impatient, or rude individual can ruin your entire wedding day!
     Here are the questions that I would ask, and the answers that I would expect, when choosing a professional to photograph my own wedding.  Please feel free to print these questions and take them with you.  Ask every question listed when interviewing each photographer.  

1. Do you lacquer all of your wedding photographs?  
     Answer: Yes.  The lacquer provides a washable surface that protects the photographs from pollution, fingerprints, and moisture.
2.  Do you retouch all of your wedding photographs?
     Answer:  Yes.
3.  What extra charges are added to the cost of the photographs?
     Answer:  None.
4.  Do you charge a higher price for photographs not ordered in a package?
     Answer:  No.
5.  How many photographs will you take at a wedding?
     Answer:  There is no limit!
6.  What style of images do you create?
     Answer:  Most of our clients request a combination of traditional and journalistic photography.
7.  What kind of lighting do you use?
     Answer:  Studio lighting is the best for the formal images.
8.  Who will help design the bride's album?
     Answer:  We are here to help you choose the size and location of every image in your album.
9.  How many different sizes will fit in the albums that you offer?
     Answer:  You choose from any combination of three different sizes.
10.  Are the bride and groom financially responsible for other peoples orders?
     Answer:  No.  Each order is separate.
11.  How long have you been in business?
     Answer:  Chris Leavitt Photography was founded in 1973.
12.  Do you enjoy photographing weddings?
     Answer:  We love weddings and our satisfied clients prove it!
