Photography Transportation FAQs

How do you coordinate with our wedding photographer?

Before your wedding day, we contact your photographer to discuss their preferred locations, timing requirements, and any special requests. On the day, our chauffeurs maintain communication with the photography team to ensure smooth transitions between locations.

What if it rains on our photo shoot day?

We always prepare backup locations with covered areas or indoor alternatives. Popular rain-backup locations include the Chicago Cultural Center, hotel lobbies, and covered architectural spaces. Your photos will be beautiful regardless of weather.

How much time should we allocate for photo stops?

We recommend 2-3 hours for a comprehensive photo session with multiple locations. This allows time for travel, setup, and relaxed photography without rushing. For tighter schedules, we can plan efficient 1-1.5 hour sessions.

Can we bring the bridal party for photos?

Absolutely! Our stretch limousines and SUV limos can accommodate your full bridal party. For larger groups, we can coordinate multiple vehicles to travel together for group photos.

Do you need permits for photo locations?

Most public locations in Chicago allow wedding photography without permits for small groups. For commercial shoots or large parties, we can advise on permit requirements. Our regular routes are well-established and photographer-approved.
