Having been a Wedding Photographer I can cofirm that £2k for a photo package is on the high side. Depends what you are having though for the money. Thirty 8" x 8" photo's in a reasonable album should set you back £500 to £750 pounds all in. Photo's do remain the property of the photgrapher though. Down to the photgrapher if he/she wants to sell you the rights to owning them.
Whenever you buy a car just think to yourself, how easy will it be to sell? Okay that's what the head says....................but does your head always rule your heart?
Sounds great! I am with you all the way on the Apple front. Their products are just a load of marketing hype. Even their latest phone doesn't work properly..............a plastic cover was their solution rather than fixing the problem
