I recently looked in NOLA and Baton Rouge.

Engagement pictures can run you from $400 - $800.

Day-of wedding photography ranges from $3,500 for "beginner" photographers to $6,000 for "expert" photographers. It's usually about 7 hours.

Look into the guy I used. We got engagement, bridals, 7 hours day of (ended up being about 9), a book for us, a book for each set of parents (everyone gets to pick which pics go in their book), a proof book, CD proofs, and some other stuff I'm forgetting.

Him and his wife are great and really entertain the guests. We booked him because he did a friend's wedding 3 years ago and we enjoyed him that much. Told him that night if we ever got married we'd use him
