Chicago photographer?

sourstars Rough Rock Total Posts: 17 Last Post: 7/22/2009 Member Since: 8/29/2008	I am trying to book a photographer for my wedding in Chicago in June, and I was wondering if there were any Chicago brides or brides to be who could recommend one to me. I would appreciate any help!

I just happen to be using them, but my cousin used them for her wedding a few years back and honestly I wouldn't go with anyone else. Have you checked out the Knot Chicago magazine or Chicago Brides magazine? There are photography sections in there with vendor listings and you can usually go online and check portfolios to see what you like. Good luck!

She's in Milwaukee, but I know she's done many Chicago weddings, so it's an option! Kimberley Bednarski Anderson KB Image Photography and her blog: KB Image Photography Blog

And don't even get me started on our video. Worst. Photographer. Ever. ********************************************************** "I'm sorry I ruined your lives and crammed eleven cookies into the VCR." - Buddy the Elf "Let your inner Liz Taylor out and rock it." - diamondfan

I don't know if you're looking for a photojournalistic style or what your budget is but here are some I absolutely love. We live in Chicago but are hopefully having our wedding in Napa so I'd hate to see my research go to waste! http://www.jeremylawsonphotography.com/ http://www.karatography.com/# http://lifeonprints.com/highlights/ http://danielleaquilinephoto.smugmug.com/ -- I hear from the girls on the knot that she's good if you're looking for good quality photography without the sky high budget. Good luck!

Ms. Goggles - I actually contacted Danielle before I posted this, and I'm hoping to hear back from her soon. I will look into your other suggestions as well. Emilina22 - I am getting married on June 27th. You?

We probably would have hired them as well if we were getting married in Chicago. They post a lot of photos on their blog, so I'd be sure to also look there for examples of their work.

Morgie44 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 584 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 12/13/2007	The photographers we looked at were: Becky Hill Life on Prints Jeremy Lawson Kenny Nakai Kenny Kim We ended up with Mthree Studios out of Milwaukee and we are very excited to work with Molly. Even with travel costs, she is more affordable than most of the Chicago photographers I listed.
