Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at shaerees@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

: Do they offer MC services, what's their contingency plan if they fall ill, what's included in their package, are there any hidden fees, and do they have liability insurance? Asking these questions ensures not just a great party, but also peace of mind.


Selecting a photographer is a significant decision, whether for a wedding, portrait session, or commercial project, as they are entrusted with capturing moments and creating lasting memories or impactful visuals. To ensure a successful collaboration and avoid misunderstandings, asking the right questions is paramount. Start by delving into their photographic style and vision: "What is your artistic approach or signature style – do you lean towards candid, traditional, editorial, or a documentary feel?" Ask to view full galleries from similar events or projects, not just curated highlights, to assess consistency and range. Crucially, inquire, "How do you ensure our vision and expectations align with your capabilities and creative direction?" Understanding their process from mood boards to shot lists will clarify if your aesthetic goals are mutually achievable.

Beyond the artistic, practical considerations are equally vital. Discuss their availability and logistics: "Are you available on my specific date?" Clarify their package inclusions and deliverables: "What exactly is included in your standard packages – hours of coverage, number of retouched images, digital files, print rights, or albums?" Inquire about their payment structure, deposit requirements, and cancellation policy. It's also essential to ask about their turnaround time for photo delivery and the format in which you'll receive them. For event photography, questions about whether they work with an assistant, their equipment (and backup plans), and how they handle challenging lighting situations are invaluable.

Finally, don't underestimate the importance of contingency planning and personal connection. Ask about their backup equipment, and crucially, "What is your plan if an unforeseen emergency prevents you from shooting on the scheduled date?" Inquire about professional liability insurance and business licensing. Consider asking more personal questions that reveal their working style: "How do you typically interact with clients or subjects during a shoot – are you directive, unobtrusive, or a blend?" A candid conversation about their passion for photography and how they handle unexpected moments can help you gauge their personality and communication style, ensuring they are not only skilled but also someone you feel comfortable and confident entrusting with your precious moments. By asking this comprehensive range of questions, you build a clear understanding and a strong, trusting relationship, leading to a smoother experience and beautifully captured results.


When touring potential wedding venues, a thorough inquiry is essential to ensure every detail aligns with your vision and budget. Start with clear pricing: understanding what's included in the package versus additional costs for linens, dishware, decor, service charges, and taxes. Crucially, inquire about the venue's maximum capacity for both ceremony and reception, available dates, and the specific hours of access for setup, the event itself, and breakdown. Delve into catering and bar options – whether they offer in-house services, allow external caterers, and their policy regarding alcohol, including bar packages or corkage fees. Don't forget to ask about staffing, the availability of an on-site coordinator, and their vendor policy, especially if you plan to bring in your own florists, photographers, or entertainers. Finally, cover practicalities like parking, restroom facilities, and their contingency plans for inclement weather, ensuring every detail contributes to a seamless and memorable celebration.
