What does u'r photography package include?

I thought we could make a list of what our packages include so that we know what to look for (and what to negotiate with). I still haven't finalized my own photography package yet (although I've already booked George from Right Angle Studios), I know my photo needs are going to be different from the next bride-to-be, but I'd like to see what various vendors offer so I can put together a package that best suits me.

So please list what you're getting in your package and if you had any special requests (no need to list prices). I know it would help me tremendously and many other brides who are still looking.

Thanks ladies.
