Learn More"From the time we began speaking about our wedding photography requests, Complete was flexible, caring, and accommodating."
"The photographers I worked with were very professional and kept me on a strict timeline, which was very helpful during the wedding day festivities and kept me clam, yet excited, about every moment."
The price of a wedding photographer varies depending on length of service requested and the date and location of event(s). Across Chicago, couples spend an average of $2,900 on wedding photography.
Complete Weddings + Events photography packages start at $2,395 for 8 hours and can be tailored to include exactly what you need.
Packages usually include a professional photographer, edited images, an online gallery, and sometimes engagement sessions or albums. Want something specific? We can customize our photography packages to give you exactly what you’re looking for!
Having a second photographer for the full day is completely up to the couple! We recommend at least having a second photographer for about 4 to 6 hours to be able to capture both the getting ready events, both wedding parties and family in a timely manner, and both reactions for the first look and the wedding ceremony.
With so much going on before the actual wedding reception (sometimes in two separate locations), it is a huge benefit to have a second photographer for the morning events through the wedding ceremony and family photos. After that, one photographer is absolutely able to capture everything you need.
We don’t believe in a one‑size‑fits‑all approach. Our team includes photographers experienced in a range of styles, and we tailor the look and feel of your photography to match your vision for the day.
In the weeks leading up to your wedding, you’ll meet with your photographer to discuss preferences, expectations, and must‑have moments. You’ll also have access to online planning forms where you can outline specific shots and stylistic details.
After your wedding, our production team offers multiple editing styles to choose from, ensuring your final images reflect the mood, tone, and aesthetic you’re looking for.
Your photographer will reach out to you about a month out from your wedding date to setup a time to meet with you and go over all the details for your special day! They’ll also help you finalize your timeline if you haven’t done that yet, too!
Yes! Several of our packages include engagement shoots – it’s a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and with your photographer before the big day!
Yes, all of the Complete Weddings + Events photographers are professionals and able to give direction for you and your family/bridal party/friends. You’re able to work with them ahead of time to make sure they know of specific shots you’d like captured on your special day!
Absolutely. We think it’s important to see a complete gallery so you can get a real feel for a photographer’s style, not just their highlight reel.
It can vary, but it typically takes up to 8-10 weeks (up to 12 weeks during peak wedding season) for our post-production team to edit your photos/video and get it back to you!
