photographers

can this site be any more addictive?!

i'm new to this whole planning process. i already booked my reception hall. i've been told it's best to book the photographer next b/c good photographers get booked quickly. i set up three appointments for this weekend. in an effort to save some money, my fiance and i are thinking about holding off on the albums. i was wondering what a basic package should include and what are the average costs of this kind of package.

thanks in advance!

The costs vary a lot depending on the photographer. We're skipping albums for now too. Make sure you will get full size/resolution pics on a cd/dvd that are not watermarked or somehow locked for printing (I've heard this has happened to people) Tell them you would like the printing rights. If it important to you you can also ask how many pics they take at a wedding on average, how many they will be post processing, and if you will only be receiving the edited pics or everything that was taken.

Good luck, who are you meeting with?

LindyBride, those are great questions to ask. i made a note

i'm meeting with thomas paul, sherwood triart and bella. any thoughts about those?
