Eugene was the best! He has this amazing ability to capture who you are/your personality through his pictures. Since he photographed one of the most important days of my life, I couldn't have asked for anyone better! He's talented and was great with my wedding party and guest! I LOVE my photos!

Eugene Pavlov did a beautiful engagement shoot with us and we used the photos to make a guest book for our wedding. He was very flexible and came down to our city for it. He was very professional and gave us great direction without making it feel excessively directed. He is very personable and friendly and very good at putting you at your ease. Our wedding photos turned out perfectly. I only wish he could have stayed longer and that there was more time available at our venue. Unfortunately we had to be there at very specific times and couldn't deviate at all so we had less time before the ceremony for photos. Eugene's wife Alla did my hair and makeup and it turned out truly beautiful. She had great ideas and even when I changed my mind the day of the wedding she was very flexible and made sure I was completely comfortable with how I looked. She was the second photographer and all the photos turned out wonderfully.
Eugene even gave us our photo rights so that we could copy and alter them later on for no extra charge. This is an invaluable addition that I was not able to find anyone else willing to do.

Eugene is a fabulous photographer, and I still receive compliments on my engagement and wedding photos even a year after! I learned of Eugene from a college friend's wedding, and enjoyed browsing his site every so often after then, just because I loved his style and his eye for capturing emotional, candid moments. I also appreciated his photoshop abilities which bring out each scene's natural, vibrant color instead of over-washing it with filters or messing with color contrasts too much.

On the engagement shoot, Eugene was friendly and easy-going, making it causual and natural to pose for him and the camera (especially when my husband and I usually don't show PDA at all!). The relaxed atmosphere carried over onto the wedding day as well, as he always seemed be in the room but never in the way.

I always recommend Eugene's name to any friend who's getting married and asks for advice, and have had my own wedding guests ask for his business cards as well!
