    I met with them and thought they were a little high on prices. Check out Modern Image Studios. I just booked them last week. Their prices are more reasonable and I LOVE the photos they have on their site. My cousin is getting married in November and booked with Timothy Whaley which was the first photographer she met with. She booked videography with Modern Image and said she wishes she would have booked photo with them as well.

    Good luck! And cute picture. We have a pitbull too!

    No, that's true. I went with them for my wedding and really, really liked them. They are very professional and are good at what they do. I met with a lot of other photographers before I met with them and thought the others were gimmicky and weren't understanding me and just trying to get me to buy a book.

    the one that is for $1299 is only 8 hours and i was afraid that wouldn't be enough time. the next package up is 12 hours and is priced $1899. if you book that day they give it to you for $1749...and she wanted to give me an extra $300 off on top of that. 

    i wish i could just give you the folder!

    Dang! I think im going to go with the 8 hour one. I do not want pictures of me getting ready!!!  so i figure that should be enough time and my reception and ceremony are in the same room so there is no time in between! Thank so much for the info!!!

    We're using TWA - they seem amazing so far. They are a little more expensive, but I think totally worth it!

    Not sure if you have finalized yet but...

    I highly recommend my photographer Matthew Kuehl.  He does a bit of the photojournalistic style.  He is incredibly professional and amazing at his work.  His prices are great, he arrives early, and etc.  etc. etc.  Matthew is there the day of the event and he is your photographer.  Unlike some places where you have no idea who will be there that day.  He posted a preview album on facebook in less than a week and I had the cd and rights to the photos in a month.

    I recommend checking him out.

    I've loved using them for weddings I've planned with friends. I think that you get your sitting fees free for life too, once you have your wedding shot with them. Their offices in Lombard are really nice.
