I am so confused about what I want in a photographer. We don''t have much of a budget for it ($2000 for photography/video combined). I have found someone who will do both for $2000 AND include all of the following in the package:
6 Hours of Service (photographer & videographer)
Unlimited photo shots & full video coverage
1 photographer & 1 videographer
Quality digital photo editing and enhancements
Bridal discount on prints
2 DVD copies of your wedding day
1 copy of all proofs in 4x6s
1-16x20
2- 8x10
4- 5x7
Our stunning signature wedding book- up to 300 photos
Disk with all photos
Signed copyright release so you can print your own prints.
And signed copyright release on video.
I know this is a very good package!! But when I look at her online portfolio, I''m not impressed. I will obviously need to come up with my own poses (hers are not creative or artsy in any way). Have a look for yourself:

My question is, should I stick with this and just use my own creativity? Or get rid of the video portion, hire a $2000 photographer only and maybe have a friend/employee video tape the wedding?
After looking at the other recent thread on photography, I really feel this one isn''t as high quality.
Also, her "stunning wedding book" is the coffee table BOOK. Not actual pictures in an album, the pictures are printed on the pages. Are these becoming popular now? Are they long lasting and good quality?
