How can a couple check that a photographer's portfolio reflects the team actually attending?
Last reviewed:
Direct answer
Ask who will attend and request complete wedding examples produced by that team, rather than relying only on a few brand highlights.
Confirm whether assistants, subcontractors or a replacement photographer may be used and who approves a change. Ask which work is genuinely theirs and what conditions shaped the sample. A portfolio can demonstrate style, but it is not proof that the same person or equipment is included in your booking. Keep the agreed personnel and substitution process in the contract.
