Can anyone suggest a Chicago based photographer that you've heard great things about (or anyone that we should stay away from)?

Thanks!!

We're having Heather Parker photograph our wedding. She did a great job of our epics.

We are using Timothy Whaley. They gave a us a bunch of "free" stuff and a great price. Epics coming soon!

We had Danielle Aquiline - check out pics in bio. I have a facebook album link under "vendors". She's awesome

One I will not recommend is Bella Pictures. My best friend used them for her September '09 wedding. The photographer they got assigned had was okay - her husband's ideas on pictures (where to take, how to stand, etc) were their favorite shots. In designing the album, you are only allowed to change 5 photograph/layouts, which she fought with them for more because the initial design was terrible. She finally got her album last Friday...and right now she is in the midst of fighting them as they are horrible. Definitely not worth the stress!

We love Life on Prints! They are shooting our wedding in August.

Heather Parker shot our January wedding and earlier e-pics. We could not have been happier.

To see all of our photos (kind of overwhelming), visit:

http://hparker.smugmug.com/
Click "Lea and Mark's Wedding."
Password is "fortkamp"

for her website: www.heatherparker.com
for her blog: www.heatherparker.com/blog

Heather selected several of her favorite shots from our wedding and published them to the blog. They're probably four or five pages in now. We are the "New England Barn Wedding."

Well priced, you're not forced into a ton of add-ons like albums, second shooters are optional and you retain full rights to all images (she provides the individually-retouched digital files to her clients on CD in color and black and white). She also includes a handful of large keepsake prints-- great for gifts to parents, etc. Very creative, an excellent eye for detail and a photojournalistic shooting style-- she really chronicles the whole day.

Lilly Photography!

We're using Heather Parker too. Our epics were great. Haven't had the wedding yet, but know others who have used her and all love her work.

Kara Schultz....awesome packages and an amazing photographer!

I'm using Dean Thorsen and think his photos are awesome. I also loved Husar Photography, David Wittig, Jeffrey and Julia Woods and Life on Prints. Olivia Leigh's portfolio is beautiful but I imagine she books up fast.

Tasha Schalk of redwallphotograhy.com does a really incredible job and her package is extremely reasonable. She's super sweet and personable to boot! I love our wedding pictures.

Matt Schademann... love him. He just did my wedding this weekend and was wonderful. I can't wait to see the photos : )

reneeandscott · July 2010

Oh my gosh!! Thanks so much for all of the suggestions (as well as the negative one- I had actually requested a quote from Bella pictures and now know not to go any further with them). It seems I have A LOT of homework ahead of me!!

Thanks ladies

We went with Photography by Lin: http://www.photographybylin.com
They gave us exactly what we were hoping for. Artistic, candid, beautiful photos. Super fun to work with and we stayed within our budget.

Front runners were:

Becky Hill
Real Life Weddings
Gerber & Scarpelli

Good luck!

Another one to check out is James Currie.

We recently got a couples shot with him in Evanston and were super pleased by the results! Good luck with your search!

Essence photography! We had a great experience with them.

zabazaba · July 2010

Try Robert Wojtowicz Images http://www.rwimages.com/ if you want something unique and beautifully artistic

reneeandscott · July 2010

Thanks again everyone! I think we're going to try to schedule a consultation with Timothy Whaley!

rhorowitz · July 2010

If you are looking for a low cost photographer, the larger chains like George Street and Timothy Waley are a good bet. Most of the knotties have gone with independent photographers (I did as well, Heather Parker was who we hired). She got high marks in our book!

Does anyone know pricing for Robert wojtowicz?? It's the weekend so we probably won't hear back until Monday but just wondering if anyone has used him and might know off hand?? Thanks
