There are too many variety of printings available in the market. Ask your photographer to show the sample of printing album which he is willing to deliver it to you. Preferably go with multi type of printing which adds extra life to your wedding album.
What would be the Wedding Album Delivery Time?
According to one of the recent survey we conducted, 75% of wedding photographers do not deliver albums or photos on time. That may be because client delay shortlisting photos or Photographers gets too busy with their other assignments. Have a mutual understanding on Album Delivery.
How much Experience does your Wedding Photographer has?
Check how many years of professional experience your photographer has got. Now a days every tom with DSLR call themselves wedding photographers. Few photographers buy demo albums from famous printing houses which would obviously look good as they were produced as part of their marketing plans. Ask your photographer to share their original works, links to view their portfolio. Not always go as per demo albums.
