They really do things DIFFERENT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Instead of 'photojournalistic' photographers....get this...(i'm still not over this). The photographer sets up basically a studio in the corner of the venue - backdrop, flashes, chair....to take pictures of everyone...so it's all very posey posey... UGH...it was so weird!!!!!
Other weird things i'll think of and post about - but it was just sooooooooooo strange to me....and my friend told me that every wedding she's ever been to has been like that!!!!!
Um - yeah - we're back...
ETA - i took some of my own photojournalistic pics & will post them soon...
Refresher - this was my friends' 5th wedding...

True my OOT'ers would think weddings here are done backwards ususally NY'ers go all out more then other states, depending
Im getting married in Milwaukee which is an hour from Chicago and that is definitely NOT normal!!! I've never heard of photography like that in my life. That sounds so strange!

It really was. The photographer missed a LOT being back there in the corner with his photo set up... I got the pics of her and her dad, him and his mom dancing. Even their first dance - he was in the back - not realizing what was going on...

wow Jess thats insane!!!
I can't get past that its her 5th wedding..
have you shelled out for each? at what point do you just get to go for free?
First hubby - didn't know her Second - she married in Vegas Third - she ditched second for & I HATED him...knew he'd cheat on her Fourth - she went back to 2nd - realized her mistake - married him again - sent gift for this one. Fifth - I took about 500 pics - so i'll make a few albums for her out of them & that'll be her gift. I'll make her a bunch of photo related things. We spent about $500 to get there....so I think that's good!!!
Everyone at the wedding was funny - you DROVE FROM NJ for this?!?!?!?!?! I just kept saying - yes - that's what friends do....
OMG

Re: Back from Chicago Wedding - UPDATED WITH PICS
Hi. I just wanted to put my 2 cents in. I live in an Illinois suburb close to Chicago and that is definitely not the norm!!!! I am having a photojournalistic photog and my food is served family style. I think there are the other types of photogs you are refering too but most are switching to the more modern kind. They do have buffets but you can pick which style you perfer. The only thing I have really seen different since I have joined LIW is the price that you guys pay verses what we pay but other than that everything else seems the same.
