Hi bleu
Oh dear ... I believe the layout will turn out nice.
My photo from other bridal shop do editing the background "effects" too when i first got the photo. It is alright hence leave. But after then, when I want to change, they said sorry we do not have the raw file anymore. -.-
Not that bad, only 1 so just ... -.-
Not sure what od you mean by per pose, is it per photograph? if yes, $125 per pose, I think it is too expensive. Try to negotiate with them.
