I just spent $6500 on my photographer and I think my FI needs CPR!!! The package we chose includes 8 hours of coverage, a coffeetable album, parents album etc. So I guess we get more than just the photographer showing up... We did have to negotiate for the RIGHTS to the pics!!! I had no idea they would be so $$$ but after researching several photogs & driving myself crazy... we went with our first choice... Hopefully our pics are as beautiful as his are on the website!
