Question 1

Should I have an engagement photoshoot before the wedding?

Accepted Answer

An engagement session helps you get comfortable in front of the camera and builds rapport with your photographer. Many Israeli photographers include it as part of the wedding package.

Question 2

What questions should I ask a photographer before booking?

Accepted Answer

Ask about their backup equipment plan, second shooter policy, image delivery format, printing rights, how many final images to expect, and their experience at your specific venue.

Question 3

What red flags should I watch for with photo/video vendors?

Accepted Answer

No backup equipment, watermarked delivery, unclear usage rights, extremely low prices (quality risk), no contract, inability to show full event galleries, and poor communication responsiveness.

Question 4

Should I get a wedding album or just digital files?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

How do I protect my photos if my photographer goes out of business?

Accepted Answer

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.
