Question 1

How long does it take to receive wedding photos and videos?

Accepted Answer

Photos typically take 4–8 weeks for a curated gallery of 400–800 images. Video highlights are usually delivered in 6–12 weeks, with full-length films taking up to 16 weeks.

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

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 4

How should I handle photo/video for a Bar/Bat Mitzvah?

Accepted Answer

Focus on the Torah reading, family moments, and party energy. Hire a photographer experienced with teens who can capture candid fun. Video highlights set to music make great keepsakes. Consider a same-day edit for the party.

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.
