we’re definitely pretty versatile when it comes to editing our photos either brightly 🤍 or more dark 🖤 according to the mood of the wedding (📲 contact us to see a variety of different galleries!), but these darker moody red/black tones set in this rustic-industrial meets modern-chic venue The Dawson Chicago are probably some of my favorite to play with 🌹🖤😍

the deep crimson red bouquets, the black lace veil and dress with an EPIC train, the draping floral decor—Julia & Chris KNOW how to deck out and throw an incredibly stylish wedding 🤩💯🔥

PS, BTS pavel was indeed (VERY SECURELY 😅) standing on a railing in order to capture 📸 the epic staircase shots to get the some pretty epic perspectives of Julia’s outstanding dress/train 😆😏

OKAY, i’m pretty excited about this wedding. Lindsey & Kai had a multicultural wedding, with a Chinese tea ceremony to start the day off with. The vibrant punch of Lindsey’s red dress 💃 just make the photos POP 💥

We did some charming retro-esque portraits next to Lindsey’s ice cream stand (she owns an ice cream company—check her out!!! 🍦), cute kitchen photos in their apartment, some in front of the Mariano’s which they love shopping at, in the park in front of their apartment, and DEFINITELY some with their adorable pup! 🐶

Though this wedding was a smaller one, we jam-packed it full with epic portraits that we’re SO happy with. Check it out, and stay tuned for more (bc i definitely didn’t have space in one post to show off all the glamour that is Lindsey & Kai 😌)

ALSO, CHECK OUT their 5 🌟 review!!! LITERAL POETRY 😍😍😍 They definitely had us grinning from ear to ear! 😁 After reading it, we definitely said to ourselves: “We love our job 🥹”:

⭐️🌟🌟🌟🌟

“YES. You found the correct answer. It’s them. You did it. Your long (or short) search for a Chicago wedding photographer is over. Congrats. Pavel and Kristen is the answer.
Like you, we were swirling with the same thoughts. “Are wedding photographers that different?” “Maybe we can spend less here to splurge elsewhere” “Adamkovi is nice but maybe it’s not worth the price”
All fair questions. But let me tell ya, they were worth every gosh darn penny. Why? Because they made us look beautiful. Made our wedding feel beautiful. And most importantly made sure that whenever we look back on this day, it’ll forever be beautiful.
The wedding was a whirlwind. I don’t remember most of it. But looking back, I get to relive all the special beats. Pavel captures the emotions and Kristen brings them to life.
No notes. Choose them. Congrats on the wedding. And most importantly congrats on choosing Adamkovi.”
