We do not have a lot of money and our looking for someone under $1000.00 we really only need them for a few hours like 3hrs.

trust me, i know everything is expensive, but dont go cheap on the photography. ive known people who did and they were not happy with the out come. you get one chance to have your wedding pictures. you cant exactally go back and re do them.
disposables are great for the tables at the reception, but you really need a professional that has done weddings before. and dont ask a family member. bad idea.
check out local bridal fairs in your area. they have tons of photographers looking for your business, and sometimes ahve good deals. you may even be able to enter for a drawing for free or discounted rates from one of them.
cut corners in other places like food. just do appitizers, or finger food, or no food at all and have just cake. or make the food yourself which would save you a ton, but dont go cheap on photography

everything in Chicago is expensive! Call around, $1000. might be tight for a budget amount, see if any photographers offer "packages" in your price range, perhaps for all the formal pictures? Have snapshots taken by family/friends, it will save you a ton of money! Also, call any schools in your area for photography, and see what a student of photography might charge, it will help you, and help them by building up their portfolio.

I suggest visiting weddinglenox.com and post your request. Their matching system http://www.weddinglenox.com/membersignup1.php will match you up with local vendors with pricing you specified. I tried it and have good result as I only recieved response from vendors according to my request.
One problem I had with my wedding is that it is hard to locate vendors in most website as most likely they group by states and there are too many of them that's too far from me and I have to look at each site to figure out.
The sites I provide above have a easy to use layout to show you pictures, pricing and location in one page plus, you can send out your inquiry for matching vendor to contact you. That save me lots of time to locate the best vendors with the right price.

I am not from there and for here 1000. is actually quite a bit, just be sure you do get a good one, you can scrimp and cut corners everwhere else and it will still be okay but if you don't get photos that are good, well, you never will, it's the one and only day, demand to see their work and GET REFERENCES!!! If they are not comfortable giving you references then they aren't that good...JMO.....good luck!!!
