On the local news a couple of days ago they had a photographer begging for
the return of his stolen laptop. It had all of somebodies wedding pictures
on it and he was going to have to give back his $700 fee if he could not
come up with the pictures. If someone wants a professionally edited DVD with
voiceover, music, titles, fades, etc they would propably have to pay at
least several hundred dollars for that. With these vain women blowing 30
to50 thousand dollars on a wedding a few hundred for a DVD wont make a dent.
