Even though FI and I currently live in Mississippi and are getting married in Houston, we want to take our e-pics in Baton Rouge.  It's too far to drive to go back to Houston just for engagement pics, so we decided, since we're both LSU grads, to have them done in BR.

Can anyone recommend a photographer who can provide a pretty affordable package for engagement pics only? 

Thanks in advance!

Our wedding will be about 150-175 people, and our venue lets us do the alcohol however we want - bring our own, hire a caterer, etc.

Has anyone ever done their own alcohol or know of an affordable BR caterer that will do just alcohol? We will probably do the food ourselves.

Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks y'all!
