A high price doesn’t guarantee quality. Conversely, a lower price doesn’t indicate lower quality. ‘Digital negative’ is a file format is a lossless format that was agreed upon by industry leaders. It preserves as much of the original file’s information as is possible. Basically, it’s as close to a RAW file as you can come without the hassle of manufacturer-specific compatibility problems arising 10 years down the road. Think long-term: Today, it’s easy to open a jpeg with anything, but with computers, 10 years can make the difference between a DVD and an 8-inch floppy disc.
As for references- not examples. If they’re established, you may also get some advice from the management of your reception location, local churches, wedding planners, etc….ALL these people form a network- and they DO develop opinions of one another, regarding who’s easy to work with, whose work they like, etc.
DO NOT underestimate the human factor when choosing the photographer. This person is going to be hovering around you for the entire day- a day already filled with stress. If you click with the person, it WILL show in your photos….conversely, if you don’t really care for them, the smile may be there, but the twinkle in your eye may not be. And you’ll have FOREVER to see that in your images.

He looks and sounds very good. You might want to ask him for a few references from previous customers. Contact them and ask if he was on time, professional, etc. I bet you get a good response. If you do book him. But be quick. If he’s good he may book up quickly.
