We used Chicagoland Photobooth this past June and would highly recommend them.  For us, the base package was $1000.  We added to that cost by including a memory/guest book in our package.  They were extremely accommodating, flexible, and helpful.  You can often find promotions either through Bridal Expo's or their own website.

Prices for lighting can vary greatly depending on what you want, as well as the type of venue you have.  We used Elegant Event Lighting.  They met us at our venue.  The lighting designer walked us through the rooms and described exactly what he could do, and where it could be done.  They then attached pricing to each component, and we were able to pick and choose which ideas we wanted to incorporate.  We did a combination of both lighting and draping.  The total package was around $2500, but at least $1000 of that was devoted to draping.  I would recommend them.

ETA:  Many of the photobooth companies we researched had their prices and packages directly on their websites, which made it easy to comparison shop. They were all fairly aligned in their quotes and packages.  If you google Chicago Photo Booth companies many will come up....there are several good ones and we actually had a hard time making our final choice. It is also a question that has come up on the Chicago boards before, so you might want to search for those threads as well.

I believe you can get both from MDM Entertainment - there have been reviews on Photo Booth Express on here as well, so you could do a search right on this site.  I haven't seen any reviews on lighting for MDM - but I do know that there has been some for Photo Booth Express.  Good luck!

Highly recommend Photo Booth Express!!! MDM does do lighting and you can get a discount if you book 2 or more of their services.
All of our guests, even those who have seen a photobooth before, were really impressed with ours and the attendant (Monet) printed out extras of the photos so every guest in the booth had a copy!

If you are into DIY and your venue allows it there are instruction on off-beat bride on a DIY photobooth.
