[QUOTE="skater, post: 352991, member: 19158"] The thing that amazes me is the $1700 part. I think we paid $2400 for two professionals, rights to the images, a photo album, an engagement pictures session at the DC Cherry Blossom Festival, and several pictures printed from the engagement shoot that my wife put on scrapbook pages for people to sign... They were also giving tips to a friend of ours that was there with his D90 (he has since switched to a full frame Nikon). I know we paid $700 more, but given all we got either $2400 was really cheap or $1700 was way too much. Of course we're absolutely thrilled with the results and would use them again if we were getting married again. Friends of ours had a baby last year and they asked me to do some pregnancy shots as well as some shots of the baby after she was born, and some pictures of her baptism. I was quite nervous and explained that I usually don't do pictures of people, etc. they assured me that they understood. I tried my best and came out with some good shots, but it's not something I want to do professionally. Fortunately my wife, also an amateur photographer who is better with kids, was helping. I'll take my camera along to weddings but I want to make sure I'm not in the pro's way. [/QUOTE]
