Chicago area wedding photographer

[katamari]

I am trying to help a friend find a photographer for her Memorial Day weekend wedding in 2010 in Chicago. I know that there are a lot of PSers from Chicago or married there. They would be more interested in artsy styles, and would probably want to stay under $5K (though would certainly appreciate good, inexpensive photographers, too).

Thank you, in advance!

My SIL used Artisan Events. Her photos are beautiful!!

I''m using Joe Gallo Photography (my wedding planner used him for her wedding, so I thought he must be good!) and one of my friends is using Michael Monar. Both take amazing pictures and have beautiful albums! Both of us got their most expensive packages for under $5K.

Hope this helps!

My top two choice photographers were Life on Prints and Becky Hill, but both were booked for our wedding

We ended up going with M3 studios in Milwaukee which actually ended up saving us almost 1500 dollars. Others that we considered were Jeremy Lawson, Carignan Galleries (also OOT, but they travel and it comes out cheaper) Thomas Slack and Kevin Weinstein are also popular choices.

Fred Fox, my cousin used them in 2005 and I am using them tomorrow...They are FANTASTIC!

My photographer is from Milwaukee, but she travels to Chicago a LOT for weddings and she is FABULOUS.

Sorry to have posted and ran. I have been crazy busy this week with work, but I did want to let portia, chibride, Morgie, Blair, and Katy know how awesome you all are! My friends actually are interviewing 6 photographers and 5 are from your recommendations! I really appreciate it!
