Anyone find a good photographer around $800?

We have a very limited budget of around $800, has anyone else on a low budget found someone (good) for around this price??
I'm in the NW burbs, not in the city. 
Would appreciate any recommendations or referrals. 
Thanks ladies!

    Does anyone know how to actually go about finding a student photographer??  Do I write to the college??

    I think you contact various colleges. Maybe COD or Ben have photography majors.

    Google Dazzle Me Photography, they are talented and I believe good package pricing. They did my engagement photos:
    Here's some examples, HTH ...

    Just contact the communications or photography professors, they can recommend or check with their students

    You should also check out Bob Srygler's Precious Moment's photography in New Lennox. He travels and is really good!

    Post something on Craigslist and Wedding Bee...you can get someone who's wanting to break into the business to do your wedding for cheap!

    Thanks to everyone for your suggestions!!!! 
    I was seriously getting frustrated and thinking we were going to have to double our budget to find something, and now I feel like we have a ton to choose from!
    Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
