About Chicago Wedding Photography

Are your wedding packages customizable?

Every couple has different needs and different dreams for their wedding. While our packages are designed to meet most people where they need us, we work with each couple and their planner to personalize their coverage to fulfill their unique vision.

Do you shoot in film or digitally?

Film is offered in all packages, and, when opted for, can cover your entire event. Entry-level film usage will include between 300 and 400 exposures in total. We find the special look and feel of film to be truly unbeatable.
