@@mkg51615 - We are getting married on pier at the generations Nov 22, 2014. Coming up pretty soon! We are actually bringing flying in our own photographer and because we are able to use our free nights with our TA, we are actually able to get them for cheaper or the same price of a resort photographer but for 4 days!! Instead of the normal 2-4hrs on on the wedding day. If maybe you have talk to the person that does your engagement photos maybe you can work out a deal with them. Even without our free nights, flying them in and paying for their stay is comparable in price to a resort photo package.
Plus you also avoid the outside vendor fee if they (the photographer) stay for 3 nights. Just another option to consider!
Its pretty exciting, we have 10+ ppl plus our photographer on the same flight down so we are renting a party bus so we can all ride to airport together and kind of do pre and post pics of the whole wedding weekend!!
