Picking a photographer

That's great, thank you. I've not spoken to the photographer about any albums yet but the package we have is for the CD, which we're fine with as we were just going to go anywhere for prints, I just thought they were all the same quality!

The cost for some prints is so much, its a bit of paper with ink on in, not gold.

Try buying a Van Gogh....it's only paint and canvas after all.....why so expensive???

You are not just buying paper with ink on you are buying your wedding photographs, taken by an artist with specific skills.

Why not cook your own meal or sew your own dress too???:rotfl:

Completely agree with Bubble96, my husband is a wedding photographer and people really don't see the work that goes into it. He does a wedding then spends the equivalent of a full working week on the wedding by editing photos, sorting galleries and designing wedding albums. People just see the time that they spend at the wedding.

The prints that you get from a proper photographic lab is definitely different from the supermarket ones, I've seen the evidence! A colleague of his services photo processing booths in supermarkets and they adjust their colour balance depending on the time of year so that you look more tanned in your summer holiday pics and in the winter they adjusted them so the snow didn't blow out the winter pics. People always judge their photographer by the prints and that is why so many are reluctant to give client's the disc with images on as that supermarket print is their reputation.
