Wedding photographer and professionals please advise

[dave0010]

So please can I get some feedback form the community on this subject. Next year I get married and I've started to interview some wedding photographers.

Now a question I would like to ask as it appeared to offered one photographer is, is it rude to ask for them to include RAW photos with your package?

My reasoning is, I'd love to have the RAW images for future purposes. Yes we will choose a photographer based on there style and I'm sure we will love there editing style and the outcome of all the photos but......down the line my taste may change. As such I'd love to have the RAW files should I ever choose to reprint a photo down the line and edit it myself.

I ask one photographer this and he was almost insulted by the question. I explained why I wanted them included and he became very rude. Needless to say I'm not going with him for out day but thought I would ask on here if I have crossed some line? For me, If I was being paid for a job and the client wanted something included then its all theres. They've paid for it and its pre agreed so why not??

Please I'd love to hear back from you all.
