Question 2

How do I create a shot list for my photographer?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

What is the difference between photojournalistic and traditional photography?

Accepted Answer

Photojournalistic (documentary) captures candid, unposed moments as they unfold. Traditional photography involves posed shots and formal setups. Most Israeli couples prefer a blend of both styles.

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.
