I'm assuming you are reading this because you are residing in Chicago and getting married. At the very least your wedding will be in Chicago for one reason or another. If you're like any normal person, you are probably trying to make sure everything is right. From the color of the plates to the type of band playing. Have you consider the photography though?
When you think about it harder, most people will forget what band played at your wedding, how your chairs were lined up, or what the songs played were. Isn't it funny that the one thing that remains forever, the photography isn't paid more attention to? When you think about it, seeing it's impact - people should be paying more attention to it.
And how exactly do you go about this? How do you ensure you get the best possible photography for the event, the kind you will be proud of for the rest of your life? Well, let me suggest a rather radical idea. I would go so far as hiring 2 or three separate photographers to maximize your chances of getting all the best photos done.
If you can only afford one, despite knowing the importance of lifetime memories - I would suggest making sure it's the best possible photographer you can get. To do so my first and best tip is to start asking every single person you know for a recommendation. Go to everyone from colleagues at work to relatives and close friends. Ask anyone if they had a good wedding photographer or know someone who had.
If you are unable to ask around because you are new in town, or not many people have done weddings from your circle of friends - then I would tell you to take out online reviews and yellow pages. Your next step is finding their online portfolio of previous wedding photography. Just see who's work your like best, and then negotiate!
