Stop looking around...

Get ready to look and feel like a super model! We had our wedding photos taken by Bogdan and they came out better than I could have ever imagined. Bogdan was amazing at making us feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera!
He has a unique vision and captures that perfect moment of love. He always gets that "true" photo that shows your real personality
We received our photos in record time and they were amazing!. Don`t even think about going with another photographer because you will not find anyone better!.

Artful, professional, and fun

Thank you so much to Bogdan for his fabulous photography at our wedding on 8/15/2026! His direction, guidance, and support were so amazing. We really appreciated his attention to details and ability to creatively direct the perfect shots. The pre-wedding planning sessions were straightforward and helped to ensure that things went smoothly day-of.

We also used Red Barn for an engagement shoot which was so fun and turned out beautifully!

They gave us a sneak preview of the photos and they were wonderful. We are so excited to see the final photos!

If you want a great photographer who is artistic, thoughtful, flexible, and low-pressure, then look no further!

Attentive to detail so you can focus on being present

We absolutely love how our photos turned out! Leading up to the wedding Elena ensured that every detail was covered, we had unique adjustments to our timeline and these were perfectly executed. Day of, Johnny, our photographer was attentive to detail and creative in guiding photos. He captured such special candid moments of our guests, speeches, and dances. Because he was so attentive to our timeline and what we had communicated as important, we were able to focus on being present in the moment and trust him to capture the memories and pull us aside for moments such as sunset photos. After the wedding, photo turn around was quick and editing was done wonderfully!

We love Red Barn!

We are thrilled with our photos and video from Red Barn! We hired Red Barn for our photos, videos, & photo booth. Our contract stated that everything would be ready 60 days after our event, but Elena sent our full gallery & both videos back to us after only 37 days!! We were SO excited!!

Our lead photographer was Bogdan & Elena was our second shooter. Their presence and professionalism at our wedding was excellent. They helped us stay on time, guided us to take the best photos (we are not naturals in front of the camera), and ensured we got every shot that I put on my list! We love the mixed formal and candid photos that they took of us.

Bogdan & Elena worked flawlessly with our videographer. We got the highlight video & the full video, they are beautiful & capture our wedding day perfectly! Our guests loved the photo booth & my husband & I love the album that we got of the photo strips!

I would highly recommend Red Barn for your wedding photography, videography, and photo booth services!

Best Wedding Photography, Videography Team Ever

I honestly don't even know where to start. Our wedding on April 18th was everything we dreamed of, and a huge part of that was Red Barn Wedding Studio. From the moment Bogdan, Elena, and Johnny arrived, we felt completely at ease — they blended into the background in the best way possible, capturing every real moment without making us pose awkwardly every five minutes. The sneak peeks alone already made me cry, and I can't even imagine what the final photos and video are going to do to me. The photo booth was a HIT — our guests are still talking about it. If you're getting married in the Chicago area, don't even look anywhere else.

Amazing Studio!

Our entire process with Red Barn, from booking them, to our engagement session, to our wedding day, to receiving our pictures, was absolutely phenomenal! Bogdan, Elena, and their team are extremely knowledgeable and do a great job of guiding you through the process of the wedding day down to the smallest detail! They are also extremely flexible, which we greatly appreciated!!! I am so happy we selected them to capture our wedding, we cannot recommend them enough!!! If you are looking for amazing photos for your wedding, look no further!!!!!!

The best photographers!

Red Barn Studio is absolutely incredible!! They are so professional and created the most beautiful photos and videos. They helped me create a wedding day of timeline as well, and were very thorough in our initial consultation. Everyone that attended our wedding even commented on how hard they were working and how kind they were. 10/10 recommend!!!

Highly suggest Red Barn!

Red Barn did a perfect job during our wedding day photo shoots! Throughout the day they were perfectly punctual, kept the flow going efficiently and were a fun nice bunch to share the day with. Bogdan and his team got great shots and we appreciated how if a photogenic moment came up, they knew when to capitalize on it. Truly pleased with their work!

Picture Perfect!

Red Barn was awesome to work with. The process was so easy, and they understood exactly what we were looking for. They even went out of their way to get us a second photographer when I asked (very last minute). Get two photographers, you wont regret it! The pictures are stunning, I have no idea how we are going to choose. I love that family and friends also have easy access to our album and they can get the photos they love the most! I can't recommend Red Barn enough!

Red Barn Wedding Photography

Red Barn Photography was absolutely amazing! They were so organized leading up to the wedding and truly cared about all of my wants on wedding day. I was able to fill out a questionnaire before the wedding that allowed me to describe what kinds of pictures I wanted on the day and what groups of people I for sure wanted pictures with. On wedding day, they were so efficient and showed up on time. They also made sure to pull me for pictures at sunset just like I had asked when I even forgot about it! They blended in so well at the reception too. They made the most beautiful videos of my day, I especially love my highlight video. They asked me what music I wanted and they included everything! I couldn't recommend them enough!
