Watch full wedding films (not just trailers), check audio quality (vows, speeches), ask about equipment (stabilizers, drones), inquire about editing style and turnaround time, and confirm music licensing.

Drones capture stunning aerial views of outdoor venues, group photos, and dramatic entrances. They work best at venue domains and gardens. Note that drone usage may require permits and is restricted near airports and military zones in Israel.

List must-have shots: family groupings, the chuppah, ring exchange, first dance, key speeches. Share it 2 weeks before the event. Keep it reasonable (20–30 items) so the photographer also has creative freedom.

A printed album is a tangible heirloom that you’ll appreciate for decades. Digital files are convenient for sharing but rarely get printed. Many photographers offer album design as an add-on—it’s worth the investment.

Ensure your contract includes a clause for file delivery within a set timeframe and that you receive full-resolution files. Back up all photos in multiple locations (cloud and external drive) as soon as you receive them.
