Hi there, I can't tell you about prices except mines costing $5900AU approx. But your story interested me, because you pretty much have exactly the same concerns as me, as well as the wedding pictures concern! My advice, GET THEM. I was too scared for years and years, and now im 20 and although Ive ...
