Yes, ALWAYS get the disc with the pics on them... Everything's digital these days and it's not like they are wasting 'film' by giving you copies of the photos.
Maybe you can negotiate a smaller and cheaper package? As long as you get the rights and the full digital images on disc you can print them yourself.
take some time out and do some more research before you settle on your photographer. FM and I go into at least 20 arguments about the photographer because i didnt want the cookie cutter photos and he didnt wan to send a great amount of money. you can find someone who is great but not as expensive. check craigslist for photographers. also like some of the fellow LIWers suggested, you can also pick your own packages and cut out some things to make your package cheaper. i got lucky and won a $600 off my photography package! that solved my FH and my arguments!
If you have your heart set on his work why not just hire him to shoot the day and give you the images? You can make the albums on your own - that's what we're doing for our parent albums. This way you can get the quality/style photography you want and not settle on someone you don't like as much. Just a thought!!! Good Luck!!
