7 Must-Ask Questions for Your Wedding Photography Questionnaire
As a wedding photographer, preparation is key to capturing a couple’s big day seamlessly. One of the most effective tools in your workflow? A well-crafted wedding photography questionnaire. This simple yet powerful document helps you gather crucial details, manage expectations, and ensure you’re fully prepared to tell your couple’s love story in a way that feels natural and authentic to them.
Why a Wedding Questionnaire is Essential
Sending out a detailed wedding questionnaire ahead of time not only saves you hours of back-and-forth communication but also helps you approach the day with confidence. It allows you to anticipate timeline shifts, family dynamics, and special moments that matter most to your clients.
I typically send my questionnaire 4-6 weeks before the wedding, giving couples ample time to provide thoughtful responses while still allowing me enough time to review and make any necessary adjustments to my game plan.
Through the years, this questionnaire has helped me avoid last-minute surprises, from unexpected venue restrictions to unique traditions that shape the day. More importantly, it reassures my couples that I’m invested in making their experience seamless and stress-free.
7 Must-Ask Questions to Include in Your Wedding Questionnaire
While my full questionnaire includes dozens of carefully curated questions, here are 10 that I never skip:
1. What are your wedding day priorities?
Understanding what matters most to your couple helps you focus your energy where it counts. Whether they’re prioritizing a private first look, family portraits, or golden hour shots, this question ensures you align with their vision.
2. Do you have any must-have photos?
While I like to document wedding days from a storytelling perspective rather than relying strictly on a shot list, some couples have specific requests, like recreating a special photo from their parents’ wedding or capturing a unique tradition. Knowing this upfront prevents disappointment.
3. Are there any family dynamics I should be aware of?
Divorces, remarriages, or estranged relationships can make family photos tricky. This question helps you navigate sensitive situations smoothly and avoid awkward moments.
4. Are there any venue rules or restrictions I should be aware of?
Many venues have strict guidelines about flash photography, drone usage, or access to certain areas. Knowing these in advance helps you avoid day-of issues.
5. Do you have a wedding planner or day-of coordinator?
Having a point person for logistics makes everything run smoother. If your couple has a planner, you can coordinate with them in advance to avoid last-minute chaos.
6. Are there any unique elements or surprises planned?
One time, a couple surprised their guests with a choreographed dance featuring their entire wedding party. Because I knew in advance, I was able to capture the buildup, the guests' reactions, and the joyful energy of the moment perfectly.
7. What do you want to remember most about this season of life?
This question helps couples reflect on what’s most meaningful to them during this time, ensuring their wedding photos capture emotions, relationships, and details that will bring back cherished memories for years to come.

I thought the physicians says there is no cure for HSV 2!!! I am telling you today that DR.UMA cure HSV 2 with his herbal medicine and once you get cured you are cured forever it is never reversible, I have been suffering for this deadly disease called HSV 2 for more than 2years and I lost all hope because my doctor says there is no cure for HSV 2. Brethren I saw a testimony on the internet on how DR.UMA cure HSV, Hapatitis etc with his herbal medication and an email and watsapp to contact him was also displayed, I thought this was a joke but I decided to contact him and he replied telling me not to worry that my problem is over . DR.UMA sent me a herbal medication to drink for one month but only 2weeks I feel strange and I went to my doctor and he confirmed me negative. He can help you too. Contact him via email…dr.umaherbalcenter@gmail.com WhatsApp +2347035619585. He is capable of curing AUTISM, HERPES, HPV, HSV1&2, HEPATITIS A B C, and DIABETES.

I already gave up on ever. getting cured of HSV2 because i have try many treatment none of them work out for me i have gone to different hospital they always tell me the same thing there is no cure for herpes, when i came across a post about Dr UMA in the net from a lady called Angela i contacted her and. she reassured me with his herbal medicine which i took according to the way he instructed, that how i was cured. I doubted at first because i have been to a whole lot of reputable doctors, tried a lot of medicines but none was able to cure me. so i decided to listen to him and he commenced treatment, and under two weeks i was totally free from Herpes. i want to say a very big thank you to DR UMA for what he has done in my life. feel free to leave him a message on email dr.umaherbalcenter@gmail.com or also Whats-app him +2347035619585.. he also cure all this 1.HIV 2.HIV HPV 3 .ALS 4.

I am excited to share this testimony, I was 3 years ago diagnosed of Herpes virus . My medical condition was heart broken because it was causing me so many our brakes, I was subjected to different medications by my medical doctor just to control the ourbrakes. Despite my visit to several doctors my health wasn’t getting better, all they could say is for me to stay on the treatment. At the verge of giving up, I went to the internet to search for a treatment on my own at least. But I found a cure instead. In the internet, I read a testimony of a lady who had herpes. She shared an e-mail address of the Doctor. Luckily everything seemed to be okay after I took the Herbal Medicine. I wish I could say that’s the end of it because I haven’t had any symptoms since then. Do not expose yourself to more danger, use a herbal remedy that is safe and effective. If interested contact him via email address dr.abaherbalhome@gmail.com. or call +2348107155060
