is this a good price for photo, video and albums?

The photographer whose work we like the best has quoted us $6500 for photography (2 photographers for 10 hours and a lighting assistant), a 50 photo album, 2 smaller parents albums (I think they were 24 photos) and a video (and 3 copies of DVD). We also get an engagement shoot and a first baby shoot, hard copy proofs and website proofs. I don't have the paperwork in front of me, but I think we also get some wallets and a big photo too.

Any opinions?

Its not a bad price. If you love them....then go for it! Also, whats a first baby shoot? Is this a stupid question and it's exactly what it sounds like?

It all depends one who you are using but sound just about right. Do they really need a lighting assistant?

That sounds a little pricy even though you are getting 2 photographers. We are paying $7000 for photo and video (we only have 1 photog) but we did book with Sherwood Triart who are known to be more expensive. I got $6500 quote for photo and video and the photo package was similar to yours from Patken. So I think the price is a little much but if you like the photographer and their work, go for it!

It sounds pretty standard. Maybe you can talk them down?

I paid $3999 plus tax for this :
2 photogs (1 traditional 1 photojournalist for 10 hour day)
10 x 10 album for us
prints and cd of pics
1 videographer
10 hour day
3 dvds and all raw material

Youshould be able to get that all for a bit less since you are in the off season like me
