You may laugh, but we had a couple say they saw a photographer at a wedding in sweats! How often do we meet to go over wedding details? As often as you need to feel comfortable, but you should expect to meet at least a month before your wedding date to go over any last minute details. This includes visiting any locations that the couple or photographer(s) are not familiar with as well as prepare a timeline of the day's scheduled events. Many bridal journals and magazines have a checklist of questions to ask the photographer as well as other vendor services.
