Justified?

I'm trying to justify to my fiance that I have a very good photography quote from an old friend.  Can anyone give me your thoughts on this price and/or what prices you have for photos as comparison?

Package is:
6 hours, 90 day online gallery, one photographer, unlimited photos and edited images on CD on copywriter permission for $1,350.

Thanks!

    I paid a little less than that for 8 hours, 2 photographers (she later brought an assistant that made 3), password-protected online gallery, a high-res CD with edited/original photos and copywriter permission, and an album. The price also included and engagement session (the photos are still online btw and they were taken October last year).

    I booked this photographer a year ago and it seems on her website that her prices have gone up a little bit and I'm not sure what's included in the packages. She may still be worth checking out though. I know she now attends bridal shows and you may have already seen her? Her website is here <http://kayleenkelsey.com> Good luck!

    I believe it depends on the quality of the pictures and the amount of time and effort they invest in editing.
    My photographer costs $1500 BUT (!!!) I'm in love with the work they do!
    It's quality vs money.... from what I see $1500 is cheap for their work, and I would not be able to afford any more than that.
    $1350 is a lot of money for everything, but you have to compare their work to others to see if you are paying too much. And don't forget: You get what you pay for and this ONE day will never happen again

    I think that is a decent deal. I am paying $2050 with all of that 
    6 hours, online gallery, unlimited photos, and edited images and copyrights.
    But, I am ALSO getting another photographer (so 2 the day of) and had a 1 hour engagement session, and a real-time slideshow is up of all the photos being taken that day.

    It completely depends on the quality of the photos. You could be hiring an artist, an experienced photographer, or a person with an expensive camera. You really can't judge a package only on price. The package you have outlined could easliy range from $800 to $3000 depending on the photographer! 

    The only justification comes from how much you love the style and quality of your friend's photography. 

    For us, photography is our number 1 priority, so 25% of our budget is going towards a truely talented and gifted artist.
