since I'm new to the board, I decided to say hello and give a little background info. My name's Chelsea, I'm planning a destination wedding in NOLA with my H2B Matt on september 17, 2011. I think we've decided on the creole queen as our venue -- after researching MANY others -- but we're still not 100%. I will probably refer every once in a while to "The Black Book" or "The D-Day Book" which is what the folder with over 100 pages of handwritten notes has been affectionately dubbed. Now to the point.
I was wondering if anyone knew what a good average would be for photographers in the area? I fell in love with the first one recommended to me, so I haven't gathered much information on this. His packages start at $1800. Does that sound right?
