If you have narrowed your options, make an appointment so you could interview them. During that time, you may ask for samples of their work.

On the day of the interview, you have to ask them how many years they have been working on this. You also have to ask how many events he has shot. This will give you the idea of his experience.

You can also ask on the type of camera and equipment he will be using during that day. If he will be using a digital camera, it should be able to take more than eight megapixels. If he will be using a film then a quality film should be used. You should know if he would bring an assistant and a back up equipment in case previous ones will fail.

If you have chosen one and will sign the contract, make sure you read all the details. Before doing that, negotiate for its price. See to it that the one you have chosen is the one who would be there. Others tend to make swaps. Find out the total time for their coverage. You have to discuss all details for that time too.
