I would also ask how many photos/pages are included in the album. This was something I learned from FSIL because they didnt ask and she ended up paying a TON extra to add more. We're also getting a blow up of one of our E-pics for the table when you first walk in.

Re: What is included in your photo package?

all of the above and also.........

1. ask if you get an unlocked high resolution CD of all your photos that way you can make additional prints using shutterfly or something if you want.....some photographers give you the CD but its locked for a certain amount of time....that was a must for me

2. if your doing video ask if you get all the raw footage

3. how many copies of the DVD you get

4. how many hours do you get them for?

5. on average how many pictures do they take? i made mine write into the contract that there will be at least 1000 shots taken.

6. what is the overtime fee? in case you want them to come earlier than you have planned now

7. What will be the turn around time on getting your proofs back....will your proofs have the company stamp in the middle? I saved $ by not doing a professional album, i'm gonna use my proofs and then make a shutterfly album....i'm just not into the big leather ones.

ETA: 8. Ask about digital touch ups....make sure that touch ups or special effects like teeth whitening are included for the pics you do get prints of or for your album

thats all i can think of....HTH!

This is what we got:

- DVD
- two photographers from 12 noon to 12 midnight
- all our pics posted online (with photographer's stamp on bottom of each pic)
- high resolution CD with all our pics (withOUT the photographer's stamp on each pic)
- 3 albums (one for us, one for my parents and one for his)


I got married in early October and so far I have received the online link and the CD. The album is almost complete - I just finishing proofing the layout last night.
