Most event bookings go well. The ones that don’t share a pattern. A few warning signs, usually visible before the booking was even confirmed.
A portfolio that only shows a handful of hand-picked images, with no way to see a full session, is worth questioning. So is a photographer who won’t put pricing or inclusions in writing, or who is vague about turnaround time when asked directly.
Reviews matter, but so does how a photographer responds to a less glowing one. A pattern of clients mentioning late delivery, or images that didn’t match the portfolio’s standard, is worth more than a wall of five-star ratings with no detail behind them.
