Choosing a photographer in New York

Look at full galleries rather than highlight reels. A full wedding gallery shows how a photographer handles low light, crowded rooms and quick transitions. Ask how many hours of coverage you are likely to need, how the shot list works, and when you can expect to see images. City weddings often involve tight venue schedules, so ask whether the photographer has worked in your location and understands any permit or access limits for outdoor portraits.

Bring a list of the people you most want photographed, plus any family dynamics worth mentioning. If you want a first look, say so early because it changes the timeline.
