Bing, If you are really concerned about the other photographer impacting your business in future, I'd investigate her work/product/business, to understand why your prospective client took the path they did.

Do a simple SWOT (Strenght/Weakness/Opportunity/Threat) Analyisis. You'll the learn the Pro's and Con's of both offers, and it might even help you evolve your service for future clients! Use the Pro's to pitch your service, use the Con's to investigate opportunites to turn them into Pro's.

It's basic marketing! You need to find out what your target market (soon to be married couples) wants/needs, and tailor your price/product/promotion/place!

Also, ask you're clients to complete a quick/simple survey once you deliver their prints, find out your customers thoughts! If you'd like some direction on this, PM me! I'll be happy to help.

You've mentioned you obtain professional hi-quality prints, therefore i would say that your client will be looking for this type of product! It's common nature for people to obtain the best deal, some may see your competition as the better deal for them, but i hope they don't regret the decision they made, should they receive prints of a lower standard.

Hope this provide an insight to how i would look at the situation!
