I've spent a little bit more time talking with the photographer, and it absolutely seems related to prints.

The problem is, in 5 years there will be 60", high-resolution color e-ink displays that you can hang on your wall and use as printed canvases. What will he do then? He wasn't aware the tech already existed as a prototype.

I don't want to print. I want quality shots, and I want to take the burden of archiving them.

Perhaps you make it clear to them you fully understand how to process raw files and that they're for archival purposes, you want to 'future proof' your wedding. Also add that you don't intend to buy prints. I'd still ask for a higher res set of jpgs too, I think you'll look through those most frequently in the immediate years.
