Tips for Choosing a Photographer in San Diego
Check Reviews & Ratings
Look for photographers with consistently high ratings and a meaningful number of reviews. A photographer with 4.5 stars and 100+ reviews is generally more reliable than one with 5 stars and only 2 reviews.
Verify Credentials
Always verify that the photographer holds appropriate licenses for CA. Check with your state's licensing board for the most up-to-date information.
Compare Multiple Options
Don't settle for the first option. Contact at least 2-3 photographers to compare services, availability, and pricing before making your decision.
Ask About Experience
Inquire about the photographer's experience with your specific needs. Specialists who focus on particular areas may provide better outcomes than generalists.
