    My photographer is 2500 and doesn't include an album or an engagement session...So I think that's a good deal!

    That for me is $4500, only with more pages in the album and leather heirloom cover. So, if you love his work, no, it's not too much. You said yourself this isn't something to go cheap on.

    We got ours for $2,000 for the same package minus the custom album. I think you got a good price!

    That's about average for prices in my area. I've found a few that are more expensive/less expensive but most that I've seriously looked into are around that ball park.

    Our engagement shoot alone- with pics delivered on a drive, nothing else- was $1100. I'd say you're getting a phenomenal deal!

    Our package is two photographers, 10 hours, a USB with all images, an engagement session, our wedding album, a $450 print credit.. for $4600 including tax. She's a freakin steal. I live in south Jersey... the photographer is based in Philly. (Our epics were amazing and I could NOT rave more!)

    All I can say is invest well...we used a friend who was extremely reputable...so we thought...let's just say I was pretty heartbroken with the outcome, and Im obsessed with photos, so I could kick myself to this day..I'm so happy we were able to have Chicago shots done, and my dad took professional photos of us in Florida, which turned out amazing, so it wasn't a total loss. Not many can say they had wedding pics taken in 3 states, so that was what was unique about ours lol.
