Hi there! We're getting married downtown (Pazzo's at 311) and will be doing photos before the ceremony (no gap). I'd like to visit a couple different locations downtown and maybe in Lincoln Park -- estimate that photos will take about 2-2.5 hours with driving time. I've been looking into limo companies and they all seem to have 4-hour minimums and it's pricey -- $1,400-$1,500 with tax and tip. Curious to hear what others are doing for day-of transportation and if there are any more economic alternatives.

Thanks!
Re: Loop Wedding - day of transportation?
OP, We did exactly what you are planning on doing. We did a first look. Then hopped in buses and took pictures at North Avenue beach and the Franklin Street Bridge. We then had the buses take us to the church in Lincoln Park and then to the reception ( approx. 30 min ceremony and no gap) It totalled 4 hours, so we got our monies worth.
Can you look into limos instead of buses? Maybe a couple of really nice family members could drive you in big SUVs?
