Also, ask to see samples of past jobs with a client that’s in the same line you are, and maybe ask them what similar companies they’ve worked for.

  • The number of hours they will cover your event and how much per hour if you plan to extend.
  • How many cameras, video cameras and camera men are included in the package?
  • Are there extra charges for consumables like memory card, battery charge and films?
  • How many final copies are included and in what format? Do you get a soft copy on DVD and a hard copy photo album (and what does it look like)? As to the photos, are you guaranteed a certain number of keepers? If you are getting some of the photos printed, especially if you want large format prints, how will you pick out the photos?
