Prewed and Wedding Photographer Recommendation

[xstatik]

Does anyone know of any good wedding photographers that will also give you the original digital photo files (in high res with NO watermarks) on a DVD???

It seems that many don't want to give a DVD/CD..

Really? The ones I've seen when attending as guests, I talk to them and they do provide them on DVDs to the couple a few weeks after the wedding. Usually these are the ones that charge a higher price up front and don't rely on photo sales after to make a profit...

I'm one of those photographers actually. And I know a few other colleagues that do as well.

I actually do provide a DVD with all the photos taken during the day too

My primary goal is always to make the customers happy.

There are two ways for wedding photographers to make money:

1) Charge a small fee for covering your wedding, and than charge more for prints. They know you aren't going to print that many and just the essential ones so they don't take as many photos or edit as many after the event. They also charge a lot for each print.

2) Charge only for their time and skill and not for prints. The initial sum is much larger as they give you the files on DVD to do as you wish. They take many more photos and have to edit more.

If you choose either 1 or 2 the photographers should still make the same amount of money if they have a good business model and/or a good photographer.
