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 shot our engagement and wedding photos. He was amazing to work with and our pictures turned out perfect! You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day, and I'm so glad I got to spend it with Pavel and his team!

Pavel was beyond amazing to work with! His photos are elevated and beautiful, but still so authentically “us”- just what we hoped for. Pavel took the time to get to know us before the big day with thoughtful questions and an engagement shoot that felt more like hanging out with a new friend than performing for a camera. His professionalism and positive energy made him a reassuring presence in all the chaos. When we were too nervous to know where we were, Pavel gently guided us and our whole crew. He made sure we got all the shots we wanted- every combination, big groups and intimate moments, editorial and candid. We loved everything about our wedding day, and we are so grateful to Pavel for capturing our joy. The photos and video were ready even sooner than expected, and they’re more beautiful than we imagined. We could not recommend Pavel and his team more highly.

Pavel was an absolute joy to work with on every level. Not only is he professional, creative, and insanely excellent and talented at his craft, but as a person Pavel is kind, playful, notices the little details, full of humility but also easy to connect with. We genuinely had fun with him, both in our engagement session where we got a feel for each other, and our actual wedding day. With an abundance of options for wedding photography, Pavel’s elegance and craft stands out. We enjoyed connecting during our engagement shoot and felt totally confident for the wedding day, as he did a great job helping us to get a clear picture of what to expect during the day, including a concrete timeline. He was attentive and also went the extra mile to get all the shots and edits we wanted. He is generous with his time, talent and care and, without a doubt, we would choose him over and over to capture our day!

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!

Pavel was the absolute best decision we made for our wedding! We took our time researching photographers, looking at their galleries and overall style/vibe, and interviewing a few. I had looked into Pavel and then we happened to meet him at our venue's vendor showcase and after talking for 5 minutes my now-husband said "him, absolutely him" as soon as we had walked away.

He already had experience with our venue (Primrose) which also really put us at ease, but what really sold us was just Pavel himself! He asked us great questions and had great answers for what we asked him. His charm and demeanor is so engaging and makes you feel so comfortable. Our engagement shoot with him was SO FUN and was the perfect prep to help us feel more comfortable in front of a camera on wedding day too. Anytime I had a question about what location to pick for engagement photos or wedding day timeline flow, he was so accessible and helpful and really took the time to talk through things with me.

And of course, on the day of the wedding he was FANTASTIC! Not only did we love him, but our wedding party, family, and friends all did too! He made family photos fun and was like a chameleon on the dance floor and just got the most incredible shots. We got our photos back I think in only three weeks too which is amazing! The contract we agreed to was a longer period to have buffer room, but we were just so impressed and grateful to have the photos back so quickly - I look at them almost every day!

There are so many difficult choices to make when planning a wedding, but picking Pavel is the easiest and most worthwhile "yes" I would recommend to any bride!

Our wedding photos looks amazing!! Pavel is such a talent! We appreciate his professionalism and effort he took to capture the best and most beautiful moments. I am so thankful to have been able to work with him. So many people from our wedding spoke very highly of him and his positive energy.

We hired Pavel and his assistant for our wedding photography and the team was absolutely AMAZING!!! From start to finish, the entire process was seamless with clear communication and understanding always. The package we purchased included an engagement session which let us meet Pavel and get a feel for his style and energy. Going into our wedding, we were confident with our choice and knew it was one part of the wedding we didn’t have to worry about. Pavel is incredible – a true artist who has a vision but also takes what you would like and your needs into account. He helped us with posing, creating shots, making us feel comfortable and less awkward. We are awkward people, and I was nervous about how to position myself in photos and he helped with everything. He is enthusiastic and has great energy. He got our family in order quickly for family wedding pictures and had clear communication with everyone to keep us on schedule. His formal pictures with us were truly a work of art, with variety in posing, locations, color, depth, light, perspective, absolutely everything. Throughout the wedding he managed to capture so many emotions and memories with our guests and completely understood the mood. We received so many comments during our wedding about how wonderful our photographer was. We are overjoyed with the high quality of wedding photos, not to mention his quick turnaround time. Pavel and his team are absolutely amazing, and we have recommended him to everyone we have ever talked to that needs a photographer.

Pavel was the absolute best photographer ever! He showed genuine interest and care, and is very knowledgeable and fluid in his work. He is just the right amount of assertiveness, he is proactive and makes the day so much fun! A true photographer. He gives 100 percent effort into what he’s doing, with passion. I didn’t have to worry about a thing with him and the photos are better than I ever could have imagined! Definitely would recommend a thousand times over!

If you’re looking for clear, well lit, beautifully composed photographs I highly recommend Pavel. Everyone who saw our pictures said they belong in a magazine. He is easy and fun to work with and very passionate and knowledgeable about his craft. Would recommend to anyone I know!
