Any time you can get some professional photographs that are related to a wedding, for under $1,000 you have a deal.

That is real good.. depending on how good she is? I would see some sample pics she has done before.. I would rather pay the extra money for better pics anyday.

Giving you the pics in digital form so that you can print up hundreds of copies if you wish... is priceless. Most photogs charge an arm and a leg for a small package of prints that you could have done somewhere else for a fraction of the price. So $300 makes it worth her time and effort to do, but is a really fabulous deal.

That's a good deal. I wouldn't pay for a professional just because I think they're way too expensive. If you can get someone like that with experience to do that then that sounds great.

We paid over 4500. I assume you have already seen her work and are satisfied with it? If she is truly a good photographer, thats a steal!

I think it is a good deal. We paid $750 for ours but we had a deal. It was originally $1150 so $300 is not bad at all.

If you know that your friends work is good and you are also getting all copyrights to reproduce the images, and she has to make that drive to do them for you, I think the price is reasonable. When you figure in the cost of gas alone, that's potentially $50 right there.

That is a good deal, you are getting 100 pics and a cd which u can print unlimited amount of pics off of. Most places will charge at least a grand for this. If you trust her to do a good job on the pics than go ahead and book her.

I have been shopping around for a photographer myself and $300 is a steal dont question that. Maybe ask her what it would cost if she did more photos. If you think that 100 is enough then fine but at my friends wedding there photographer took over 1000. The best price I have found which is is mid-michigan area is $1500 plus.

I would say that is reasonable if she is giving you the negatives and she is driving. A lot of photographers would charge a lot more than that.
