Photography - Photo Amount in Package

kmabjo

I found a photographer that I absolutly love. Her website says for X-amount of money for a minimum of 300 retouched images.
 The contract says just 300 retouched images.
 Her e-mail to me stated I get anywhere from 400-600 images retouched.

I alread signed the contract because I didn't take a day or two to relook at everything because well, lets face it, I put my foot in my mouth.

My question is, is 300 retouched images a decent amount?

I feel like 300 is a lot of photos, then again it is your wedding day and I think 300 might come and go very quickly. Thena gain it is digital photography so there might be one of out five shots taken of the same thing that I like.

What do you ladies think?

Thanks!

We had over 1,000 photos of our wedding.  Granted there were a lot of similar shots, but 300 really isn't a lot when you consider they will be shooting for about 8 hours.  

She probably states that you will get 300 for legal reasons.  The outcome will probably be closer to 400-600, but having a low estimate ensures that she delivers what is stated in the contract.

I would ask her if you can get a copy of all of the raw images she took on your wedding day.  That way, if you feel you need more images of a certain event, you can pull them from the raw images, and edit them yourself.

I agree with Nilla. But in your OP it says you get 300 retouched photos. Will you be receiving other untouched photos?

300 retouched photos sounds like a low ball amount, but it still sounds like a good amount of photos to me.

Check your contract to see if you get the rights to your photos.  If you do you can have whichever extra ones you want printed anywhere.
