    It sounds really good for that price. Especially if you like their work.

    Thats actually a bit low for that amount of stuff. Enough so that I would say they are most likely an amateur photographer and not running a legally legitimate business. Cause there is no way that they can cover overhead and cost of running a business and make any profit offering that much stuff for that rate. 
    I personally would be wary of the quality of not only the photography itself but the quality of the products you would be receiving. 

    That being said, if you use this person, make sure you get a signed contract that states all of what you will receive and the turn around time for receiving the products.

    $1200 is a good price, even in Utah, if you like the photographer's work.  Be sure to ask to see an entire wedding, because the half-dozen spruced-up shots on a website may not be a true example of his/her work.  Also, lower prices mean less experience, so keep that in mind.

    Thats a pretty good deal for all of that. Ask yourself though how long is the turn around on all of that and is the photography what you are looking for? Smile

    Sounds like they're either new or not talented.

    I would jump for joy if that was the price of my photographer and they included everything you listed. One of the biggest things I have noticed is that many photographers charge by the hour, not for the event. So finding one that is offering all day coverage is a definite plus, granted of course that you like their work.
    Come what may, I will love you until my dying day.

    Wow that is very very cheap!  Have you met them?  Have you seen their work?  Might want to validate that they are insured, have experience, know how to edit, create albums, etc cause that rate is so low that makes me nervous they are desperate to book.
