Those prices are on the high end. Lately I've seen rates in the Boston area from $750 to $3,000 and up. The low gets you a CF card's worth of printable images on a CD. >> Wedding CDs. Now that's a great idea. I haven't seen it advertised in my area because, I suppose, the bulk of the profit is in albums and formal display prints. When we married off our daughters, I scanned the best of the available prints along with my own digital photos into a CD. One daughter duplicated the entire CD to send to members of the wedding party. The other prepared a video slide show to view on TV whenever the urge came upon her (usually after diapering #1 grandchild). The wedding albums of both are gathering dust in some closet. So if you want to keep wedding photography costs reasonable, crank up that digital camera, preferably a Digilux, and snap away. Edit the best shots in Photoshop and burn a CD in hi-res JPEG format. At 39 cents each, you can distribute them like confetti. Anyone who receives the CD can get hard copy prints of their favorite shots at WalMart. Isn't modern technology wonderful?
