• How many weddings or events like yours did they shoot in the last year?
• Is this their full-time profession or a side job?
• Do they have backup equipment?
• How many years have they been a professional photographer?

Discuss the fine print
It is a good idea to check whether the photographer has liability insurance, as some less professional photographers may not have adequate insurance. Also check about copyrights and usage of the images, as well as payment schedules, cancellations, rescheduling, and refunds of deposits.
