We could not express how thankful we are to Pavel and his team! They were absolutely excellent to work with throughout the entire process of the wedding. From the moment we started, everything was very straight forward and just as expected. Pavel was very quick to respond to my inquiry, and, after I emailed him some details, he contacted me directly. Everything that we discussed in the initial meeting was followed through on completely. We never felt like there were any unwanted surprises, hidden fees, or unexpected changes. Everything was exactly as we had agreed and even better than I could have imagined! In addition, he was always easy to communicate with, punctual, respectful, neat, polite, and responsive.

First, we had an engagement session. This was extremely helpful to us because we both think we look awkward in photographs and are somewhat uncomfortable in front of the camera. With Pavel, everything felt natural and our discomfort seemed to evaporate. He is so passionate about photography and taking photos that all of my apprehensions disappeared. He even showed us a few poses that almost always looked good and directed us on what to best do with our hands when we were lost. I have never felt so comfortable in front of a camera as I did with Pavel and neither has my husband.

During the wedding, Pavel worked with us to make excellent pictures within a very short timeframe. He was extremely flexible and gave us the minimum amount of time that he suggested he would need for every part of the photo-session. Also, Pavel and the other photographer managed to be everywhere at once; they captured pictures of us from different angles and pictures of all of our guests, just as we wanted! His team managed to do this in a way that no one noticed them and no one felt like they were being attacked by a camera.

The photographs from both the engagement session and the wedding were exquisite, and we absolutely loved them! They were beautiful. The quality was excellent, and the content was elegant with hints of sexy and fun. The lighting was beautiful, and they were truly unique. It was amazing how he and his team were able to captured a moment in time with its emotions and feelings. I could feel the intimacy in the photos on the balcony, the anticipation before the ceremony, the excitement after the ceremony, the happiness of my parents watching me, the happiness of my husband’s parents, and the party feel during the dancing. The photographs were truly marvelous!

The process for receiving the photographs could not be more pleasant or simpler. We could download all the photos with one click and share them in another. In addition, the order of the photographs that he sent to us was perfect. I loved how they told a story of the event. This made them almost into a picture story book that you can look through without getting bored of seeing the same people in different poses over and over again.

I have heard so many horror stories from other people's weddings where things were very different, but it was such a pleasure to work with Pavel! It truly was the best experience! We have already recommended him to all of our friends and sent his photos to the venue which called me and told me they would be very interested in using his work. On his website, he writes that he had a goal to make wedding photography more unique and personal. In my opinion, he not only succeeded but even surpassed this goal. I am very very grateful to him and his team!

Pavel and I met at an open house and my husband and I hit it off with him immediately.

He is a master at his craft, he is a joy to be around, and I knew he was a great choice from the start. You get what you paid for, and I paid for a passionate artist who knows how to capture a narrative.

My parents had a photography business when I was younger, so I absolutely had to have a photographer who I knew I could trust. His work is just incredible and we bonded over the knowledge and magic of film photography. On the day of the wedding, there were moments he would say I don't think this is the best spot for a picture and I completely trusted him and his choices. As a result, my pictures turned out beautifully. I also must give a special shout out to his assistant. She also worked so hard to make the pictures beautiful and I'm so thankful for her contributions.

I would highly recommend the option with an engagement session included because that is essentially the best way to connect with him. From this session you will get a feel for his style and he will understand exactly what it is you're looking for.

My husband is not a photogenic person and yet Pavel was able to bring out his best sides and smiles. Everyone also really enjoyed having him around at the wedding because he really is great company. If wedding day pictures are important to you, then he is the way to go. Google them if you want examples for pictures!

I think after the dress, nothing is more important than capturing your wedding memories through your photographs. You will look back on your wedding for years to come; your children will want to see the photos of this wedding that started their family. Parents, grandparents and friends will all want to relive these moments and for the people who aren’t able to be there, these photos are a way for them to share in the day. I just can’t stress how important these photos are and you absolutely can’t trust this all important part of the wedding to just anyone.
All that to say that I could not be happier with the photographs taken by Pavel VK Photography (pacelvk.com). Pavel was present for engagement photos, the huge engagement party, the rehearsal celebration at TopGolf and then the wedding and reception. Pavel took so, so many photos. He was prompt, not intrusive but seemed to be everywhere. I’ve seen weddings where you couldn’t see the ceremony because the photographer was in the middle of the aisle. Pavel managed to capture every moment without hindering the views. He was so creative with the couple and provided direction for just stunning pictures. He also happily took any group photos that we asked for. And to top all this off, the photos were delivered so quickly after the wedding.
I am the mother of the groom. My now daughter-in-law discovered Pavel so I really don’t have any bias here. I just want to recommend someone who was professional, creative and fulfilled his promise of providing expert photography for the most important day in the life of this wonderful couple life. I now also have stunning photographs to relive this celebration forever
