Looking for Photographers...help!
My fiance and I are currently looking at Photographers. We found one we LOVED, but the package we're looking at is $2150. We're near Chicago, so that effects the price, but still...I just don't know. Thing is, everyone else I look at who is under that just can't compete with the quality of his photography. Plus, we get along very well with he and his wife...they're very nice people and would be fabulous to work with, in addition to getting some unique and creative photos of our day. So I guess, my question to all of you is how much is too much? For that price, we get an awesome photographer, an engagement session and an 8x10 from that, 7 hours of coverage, online proofing, unlimited images, and the digital negatives with rights to the pictures. He originally had a DVD slideshow and an album in there, but we swapped that out for the digital negatives (my fiance and I are computer-savvy enough that we can create our own digital album for about $30...and good quality, too!) He had originally offered us the whole package (including album and DVD slideshow,) PLUS the digital negatives and an autograph book with our engagement photos, all for the $2150 price. Apparently, his computer crashed and he needs a new one...which means the catch to all that is that we needed to give him all of the money up-front, which we don't want to do. Luckily, he was very understanding. Oh, I just don't know. Is $2150 too much money for a photographer? I really need advice, here...thanks!
