Best part is he gives you a disk with all the quality photos he takes and releases the copyright so you can get prints done where ever you want.

This is huge and that guy won't be doing that for long once he figures out that no one else does this. Jump on that deal and get it in writing. Most charge you to take the pics and then hold the photos hostage with watermarks over the image until you pay a second raping fee. As far as the questions in the OP, you never go back and look at the pics (I don't even know where mine are located) but you are a complete dumbass if you don't get photos and have to live with a pissed off SO. If you get them, she won't ever look at them. If you don't get them, she will bitch every day that they aren't available.
