Frequently asked

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, just ask — we reply within 24 hours.

  • How much does a Chicago wedding photographer cost?+

    Wedding photography packages at Red Barn Wedding Studio start at $1,995 and scale with coverage hours, second photographer, engagement session, and album add-ons. Cinematography can be added to bundle pricing.

  • Do you cover wedding venues outside Chicago?+

    Yes — we regularly photograph weddings across Cook, DuPage, Lake, and Will counties, plus destinations in Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The greater Chicago area is included with no travel fee.

  • How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?+

    Most couples book us 9–14 months before their wedding. Peak Saturdays in late spring and early fall fill first, so the earlier we connect the more options you'll have.

  • Can the same team handle photo and video?+

    Yes. Booking photo + cinematography together means one coordinated team on your wedding day, one cohesive visual story, and bundle pricing.

  • When will we receive our wedding photos?+

    Sneak peeks arrive within a week of the wedding. Full edited galleries are delivered within 6–8 weeks via your private online portal, ready to share with family.
