What the other have said. We pay $450-$500 an hour for a R-44. Make sure you are VERY clear about what you want from them. As mentioned, not all pilots are the same. That's a lot of money to gamble with a pilot thats affraid to fly low and fast.

If you can't see the whites of their eye's... they aren't low enough....

I'd pass on boat pix - prints are expensive & the quality is generally less than what you would expect.

Find the biggest and most stable boat you can and put the photographer in that boat. We've used a 50 scarab, 46 Black Thunder and a 42 Fountain in the past.

I can tell you that James Eaton likes to go for boat rides. If you talk to him ask him about Harmon Creek last year on my boat.
