im not in chi but i travel. looking for some awesome photos let me know ill tag along on a wedding. we have done tons of weddings in chicago

I should be following you, Nick. You have some real nice wedding pics.

Being an Illinois photographer it seems like there is alot more jealousy or concern and mistrust amongst the photographers I've met. Not all of them, mind you, but some definitely want to be really nice to your face but then totally try and torpedo behind your back. Definitely nothing like the west-coasters I've seen.

I was in Kansas for a shoot a few weeks ago, and this paticular park had like 6-7 togs there and as one passed me by I said a hello and totally got snuffed... wtf?

I would love to meet some from around here.

where you at TRR?

I'm in Dunlap, which is essentially Peoria. As I write this I'm in Atlanta - try to work outside the area as much as I can...

I'm up in the NW burbs, but spend my evenings in Evanston or the Loop for school. I'd be up for some kind of shoot and eat/drink gathering.

I've heard two brothers brewery has some great pub food and drinks. They're in Warrenville, a few miles off of rt 88.

Unless if someone wants to find something a little closer to the city.

North burbs. I'd be up for a shoot out/in.

This, including the few exceptions.

Lets do it! Masters, do set some dates and locations... (copy and paste the list)

This is cool, any DC photographers willing to do the same?

Jersey area?

start your OWN

I was going to suggest something further north, but two brothers sounds better than any of the chains I had in mind!

November 7th? At two brothers brewery? Any objections or suggestions? I don't have any more weddings this year but if someone has one that day we could move it

7th sounds good for me

I suppose we could all move to the west coast and make it 416,215,145,849 wedding photographers

I am in central Illinois - willing to drive up!
