    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!

    Amazed at the service and talent

    We absolutely loved our photographer Maks on the day of our wedding from the moment we met him. His energy with us and the guests and eye for a shot was truly a talent. As expected, the pictures turned out absolutely perfect. We really couldn’t be any happier. The communication, planning, appointments and timeline the owners provided prior to the big day was professional, organized and they really made the process seamless. Happy to share photos if anyone would like a reference.

    Experienced team

    Working with Red Barn Studio was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, everything was clear and transparent—packages and pricing were outlined in detail, which made the booking process stress-free. Elena was incredibly thorough in explaining the time frame needed for each part of the wedding day. As a bride, I can’t express how thankful I am that we followed her initial recommendations—everything flowed so smoothly because of it.

    She helped us create a realistic and well-paced timeline that allowed for both candid and posed moments without ever feeling rushed. On the day itself, the team was calm, professional, and truly felt like an extension of our celebration. They captured everything so beautifully, and looking back at the photos, I’m amazed at how many little moments were preserved. I felt completely at ease in front of the camera thanks to their guidance and warm energy. We had two photographers - Bogdan and Elena - and one videographer.

    Red Barn didn’t just document our wedding—they helped shape the day in such a positive way. I highly recommend them to any couple looking for a thoughtful, organized, and talented team.

    Amazing company to work with

    We are beyond thrilled with our experience with Red Barn Wedding Studio! From start to finish, everything was seamless. The quality of their work is absolutely top-notch—our photos are vibrant, emotional, and beautifully composed, and the video feels like a cinematic retelling of our wedding day.

    What stood out just as much as the final product was the communication. Every email and message was responded to quickly and kindly, and they made sure we always felt in the loop and completely taken care of.

    We also love that Red Barn is a small family-run business. You can feel the passion and care they pour into every wedding—they’re not just doing a job, they genuinely love what they do. It made the whole experience feel so personal and special. We can’t recommend them enough!

    Absolutely Recommend!

    Red Barn is such a pleasure to work with. They did such an incredible job helping us run through things in the days leading up to our wedding and the day of everything ran so smoothly. They captured all of our special moments so beautifully! We had photographer, videographer and the photobooth and I highly recommend all of those! The photos and video turned out amazing and our guests had such a blast with the photobooth. I cannot stop looking back on all the memories from our special day!

    Amazing photographers

    We got married on October 19th 2024 and I have waited to write this review until we received our wedding photos so I was able to showcase the STUNNING photos that were captured. Words can not describe how amazing Red Barn is! Our wedding photos came out SO beautifully and we have received so many compliments. Elena was extremely helpful during the planning process. For our wedding day, we worked with Maks and Johnny and they were absolutely spectacular. Their artistry was TOP NOTCH! Even our wedding guests were commenting on how amazing the photographers were. I would recommend Red Barn for all future brides!!

    Fun, professional, and the photos are incredible!

    We are overwhelmed by the scores of incredible shots Red Barn captured on our wedding day. The agency was meticulous on the front end in planning, identifying our needs and working with us. On our big day, Bogdan’s work ethic was astounding. His creativity and commitment to comprehensively capturing our wedding – including numerous unforgettable candids of us and our families – are proof positive that he is the consummate professional. Thanks to Red Barn we have dozens of timeless images that show a range of emotions and precious family interactions. We couldn’t be happier and recommend Red Barn without reservations.

    Red Barn Wedding Studio - Highly Recommended!!

    Johnny Florian (video) and Bodan Rusu (photo) were professional, efficent and SO much fun on our wedding day. They captured our day beautifully in video and in hundreds of photos. Both were flexible with our requests and worked so hard to capture each piece of our wedding day. We highly recommend Red Barn Studio for photo, video and a fun photo booth for your special day!

    Best Team, best photography studio

    We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding team to capture our special day ! Michael was our main photographer, Bogdan was our videographer and Elena joined as a second photographer. The team was incredibly professional, making us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire event. Their eye for detail and artistic flair resulted in breathtaking photos and videos that truly captured the essence of our wedding. From the candid moments to the stunning posed shots, every photo was perfectly composed and edited. We’re thrilled with the final album and highly recommend Red Barn Studio to anyone looking for talented and dedicated wedding professionals !

    Red Barn Wedding Studio's reply:

    Hello Monica. Thank you so much for your heartfelt words! We’re overjoyed that you love the photos—we truly put our heart and soul into every shot, and it’s amazing to hear how much it means to you.

    Great Experience!

    We worked with Bogdan for both our engagement photo shoot and our wedding day, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The quality and quantity of the photos exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Redbarn was flexible and willing to create a customized package that suited our needs perfectly.

    Our engagement photo session at Lincoln Park with Bogdan was an absolute delight. He made us feel comfortable and guided us effortlessly. On our wedding day, Bogdan’s expertise and professionalism shone through as he directed us seamlessly, capturing every special moment of us and the guests.

    Redbarn’s dedication to providing exceptional service and their attention to detail truly set them apart. We had the best time working with Bogdan and the Redbarn team.

Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness! Elena with Red Barn Studio

    Beautiful photos and easy to work with

    Red Barn was great to work with. We had a nice package with photo, video, and photo booth, plus engagement photos, for a reasonable price. There were a few issues with the photo booth at the beginning of the reception, but they were able to resolve the problem and kept us posted without taking up too much attention on our day. The photos and videos are beautiful, and both were delivered ahead of the contractual deadlines. Bogdan and Elena were great to work with from planning through day of through communicating after the wedding.

    Red Barn Wedding Studio's reply:

    Hello Megan. Thank you so much for your kind words! We always strive to make each couple’s experience personal and unique, and it’s so great to hear that we captured your love story just the way you envisioned. We apologies for the few minutes where the photo-booth had to re-boot and we're glad that it came back up helping the guests. The photo-booth is nothing else but a computer that does its own updates from time to time, but those are short and goes on with no problems. It was a joy to work with you both, and we wish you a lifetime filled with love and beautiful memories! Elena with Red Barn Studio

    Wedding photo/video

    All I can say is WOW! We had Elena and Bogdan as our photographers, as well as a videographer. They were so professional, and worked their butts off to get amazing shots from beginning to end. We had a huge wedding and despite the crowd they still managed to get phenomenal shots! My husband hates taking photos, but they made it easy, and put up with our busy day and giant wedding party with ease. I really love the photos, they mean so much to me as these photos will last a life time of one of our most important days. I will be recommending them to my family and friends in the future!

    The Best Photographers We Could Have Asked For

    We cannot express enough how much Maks made our weekend. All of our wedding guests loved him and commented on how great he was directing people and getting them to enjoy themselves. The Red Barn Studio team is coordinated and thorough. I can't imagine hiring anyone else to capture our special day.

    Red Barn Wedding Studio's reply:

    Hi Alex. Thank you for this amazing review! We’re so glad to hear you’re happy with your photos and that Maks made your weekend.

    Best of the Best!

    Red Barn Studio is the best ! Bogdan's creativity shines through in every image. Whether it was the way he framed a shot or played with lighting, he managed to create breathtaking images. His friendly approach and genuine personality made us feel comfortable throughout the process. Bogdan also covered my sister's wedding a few years back and my family got excited to work with him again on such a special occasion. During the reception he captured candid moments without us even realizing he was there. Tony was our videographer and his professionalism was remarkable. This team is the difference that makes a difference.

    Amazing photographer

    If I could give a 10 stars review I would. I loved working with Bogdan and Elena! They are such an amazing duo! Very organized and talented. Bogdan took our engagement pics as well as our wedding day pictures and I couldn’t have been more pleased! Loved their work.

    The best photography team!

    From the start, the team at Red Barn Studio, Bogdan and Elena, has been so helpful. They were transparent with their prices and were willing to answer all our questions. Bogdan and Elena were a pleasure to work with throughout our wedding planning process and during our wedding day. Their communication was excellent and the service provided the day of the wedding was stellar. Our wedding went so smoothly because of Bogdan and his team! They guided us throughout our day and made sure we were always on time. Our pictures turned out even better than we expected. I recommend Red Barn Studio for your wedding photography needs!

    Red Barn Wedding Studio's reply:

    Hi Klaudia. Thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that you love the photos. You both were such a joy to work with, and it was an honor to capture your love story. Wishing you endless happiness in this beautiful chapter of your lives! Elena with Red Barn Studio

    Incredible service

    If I could give 10 stars in each category, I would. The folks at Red Barn Studios are not only excellent at their craft, but they are total professionals from the lead photographer to the photobooth attendant. We left an extensive amount of time in between the time Bogdan (Red Barn photographer) showed up to our getting ready location and when our hair and makeup was supposed to be finished. Due to an issue with another vendor we still ran behind and Bogdan walked into total chaos at our getting ready location. He handled everything so well even we weren’t ready yet. He dove right into the detail shots and got things rolling. He made the timeline run as smoothly as possible given the huge chunk of time that was lost due to an issue with another vendor. Bogdan and the team made up for some of the lost photo opportunities at the getting ready location by getting some portraits of me at our venue, which I greatly appreciated and cannot wait to see. The videographer was consistently looking out for sentimental and fun shots and used his watchful eye to capture some really wonderful moments. The photobooth attendant was patient and so kind. The book turned out great! We are so incredibly excited to see our photos and videos from the day and cannot wait to share them!

    10/10 would recommend!

    We booked Red Barn for photo and video services for our wedding in July. Our package also included an engagement photoshoot. We could not be more pleased with their services. From start to finish, Elena and her crew were very helpful in answering our questions, were attentive to our needs, and made sure they were capturing all the details we wanted for our wedding day. They work together so well and really kept our wedding day running smoothly. On top of their amazing work, they got us all of our photos and videos at least 3 weeks before their anticipated product delivery date. 10/10 would recommend!!

    Red Barn Wedding Studio did an amazing job with our picture gallery and wedding videos! It was such a pleasure working with Elena and Bogdan. They were both great with any communication throughout the wedding planning process. Bogdan was super nice and easy to work with during our engagement session and wedding day. We are over the moon happy with our final pictures and video from our special day. If you are looking for a professional company for your special event, we would definitely recommend Red Barn. You will not be disappointed!

    More memories than I remember

    We were absolutely blown away by Red Barn and what they were able to provide us on our special day. The engagement shoot was a one hour preview of how amazing the wedding itself would be. Over 100 images in that session alone. The wedding itself gave us more images and video than either of us could have possibly remembered on our own. You are probably looking at a ton of photographers and other vendors right now, Red Barn is an amazing choice to make, we highly recommend it.

    Stunning photography and an experience of a lifetime

    I HIGHLY recommend Red Barn Studio for wedding photography. Ever since I first spoke to Elena 9 months before my wedding date, I knew I was in the best of hands. She and her team have so much experience doing weddings and she clearly articulated what I can expect on the wedding day. We had Maks do our engagement photos and I immediately contacted Elena and said I wanted him to also do our wedding. Not only were the photos INCREDIBLE, but Maks made the experience so much fun. He had us laughing the entire time which put me at ease-- and the photos showed that! The day of my wedding couldn't have been more flawless. Elena called me numerous times the weeks before just to check in and confirm the details. On the day of, the photographers were there on time with a big smile on their faces. Every single one of my bridesmaids had the best time working with Maks and team from the moment he stepped into the bridal suite. Part of the reason I was so calm and having so much fun before the ceremony was because of the photography team!!! They truly have a unique eye for stunning locations, they guided me along the way and showed me how to pose, they kept me laughing, and they even went above and beyond during the ceremony to make sure I looked my best all day. They helped me bustle my dress, they fluffed my train, they straightened my veil, and they even protected me from guests who were trying to pose next to me with red wine in hand! All of this attention to the little details led to the most incredible photos I have ever seen. If I had to do this all over again, I would pick Red Barn Studio every single time. I can't thank them enough for providing not only exceptional photos, but an exceptionally fun experience along the way. I will be reaching out to them again for all of my professional photography needs.

    Perfect Team

    We loved working with Red Barn Studio. We got a package that included photography and videography, plus engagement session and photobooth. Bogdan, Elena and Gabriel worked very nicely together and made our day stress free. The schedule they recommended by them, worked perfectly with our initial plans and the wedding gallery brought tears to our eyes.

    AMAZING! My wedding photos are my most prized possessions!

    I had such an amazing experience with Red Barn Studio throughout the entire wedding planning process! Bogdan and Elena went above and beyond to help along the planning process in creating our wedding timeline, and were patient when we insisted that our pup take part in our photos and in working with our large wedding party. They were incredibly responsive along the planning process, and also helped us in creating our timeline of the day; they're clearly so knowledgeable about what makes a perfect wedding that having them as a resource was so helpful. They created the most beautiful photos capturing our engagement and our wedding day, and I will truly cherish them forever and ever. I couldnt recommend them more!

    Above and beyond!

    Elena, Bogdan, Marius, and Gabriel are amazing at Red Barn! My husband and I are so happy we found them at a wedding expo. We booked them immediately and they shot our engagement and wedding photos! Elena and Bogdan were friendly, courteous, and organized from the beginning of our planning process. During our engagement photos, Bogdan made the experience fun and made us feel comfortable. Due to the pandemic, we had to reschedule our wedding. Elena was very flexible and patient with us. She was accommodating and made sure our wedding could be rescheduled. During our pre-wedding consultation, Bogdan and Elena explained everything perfectly and the plans were very thorough. On the wedding day, everything ran so smoothly. Bogdan, Marius, and Gabriel not only stayed on schedule but were kind, funny, kept us calm, and made our whole wedding party feel comfortable for our photos. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and the pictures are breathtaking! We are looking forward to getting the video back!
    I recommend Red Barn to everyone!

    So amazing

    So happy with my decision to hire Red Barn. I am so so pleased with our photo’s and our entire experience from start to finish. I was completely sticker shocked by the recommendations I received from friends for photographers. Disappointed in the studio photographers (lottery ticket on the day of). I decided to research on my own when I stumbled upon Red Barn. I went to the studio to meet them and hired them right away! We had no idea we would be planning a wedding during the worst time of a pandemic and they could not have been more empathetic and understanding (believe me we had ALOT of stress and drama with other hired vendors). The day of the wedding they showed up on time and ready to work. We laughed, we cried, but most of all they captured all the beautiful moments of our special day. They are so fun to work with and our end results are absolutely wonderful. Hard working, fun loving, organized, talented, and budget friendly. What more can a bride ask for!?! My sister and sister-in law will also be using them for there up coming nuptials. Hire them while you can!!

    Incredible!

    Bogdan and Elena are such a FANTASTIC team! They are such a wonderful duo and it was an absolute pleasure to work with both of them. Elena was so great to coordinate with and Bogdan is SO talented! Our engagement pictures and wedding pictures blew all expectations out of the water! Bogdan captured the love me and my husband have for each other so well. We also decided to have a videographer - Bogdan and Elena brought in Sergio to do the videography and on the day of the wedding Bogdan and Sergio worked together seamlessly! It was so impressive to watch how insanely well they worked together - it was like each just knew what the other was thinking and the whole day was so smooth. During the struggles of Ms. Rona ;) Elena and Bogdan were extremely sympathetic, helpful, and worked hard to keep everyone safe. We are so grateful to have such amazing photos (and are excited to see the video). We will DEFINITELY be using Red Barn Studio in the future and recommend that everyone else does as well!

    Fantastic photographer (especially during COVID!)

    Bogdan was our photographer and he did an amazing job! From our engagement photos to our wedding day, he listened carefully to what we wanted and got to know our personalities. He took beautiful shots all over downtown Chicago for our engagement session and just as beautiful shots all around Cafe Brauer for our wedding. He knew just the right times to get photos with the best lighting in the best locations. We absolutely loved working with him and are so grateful he was able to capture our special moments.

    Red Barn team is TOP NOTCH!

    We used Red Barn Studio for our wedding on 7/20/19. We had an initial meeting with Elena, and we knew right away they were the perfect team for our wedding day ! Bogdan (our photographer) & RB team are TOP NOTCH! Elena was so responsive throughout the entire process via phone & email. She was so quick to get back to me, very helpful and efficient in organizing our day perfectly! They were capturing every special moment from the time they arrived for the getting ready shoots until the last dance. They knew exactly what we wanted before we even had to ask! We could not ask for a better team! Bogdan & Elena were so fun, professional, and definitely know the business. They were familiar with the venue and set up perfect photos throughout the evening! We were so excited to view our photos & video, and as we expected they came out absolutely amazing!! You will not be disappointed with Red Barn Studio - we highly recommend them!!!

    Red Barn Studio is the best!!!

    Wedding planning is overwhelming no matter the size or budget. When we first contacted Red Barn Wedding Studio, we were in the midst of moving out of state. It has been a dream to work with their team throughout the process from out of state. They are incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and personable. My husband and I are pretty awkward when it comes to pictures, but they had the utmost patience with us and offered coaching along the way.

    Red Barn team also made us the most lovely photo book; we would have never been able to put together something so special. It is evident that a lot of time, skill, heart, and passion go into their work. They captured all of our special moments and more, which my husband and I will always cherish. We give them our highest recommendation, as they exceed everything that you want in a photographer!

    Thanks for capturing the best day of our lives!

    Elena and Bogdan were so awesome! Very professional and super fun to work with. They both definitely made our day amazing. They made us being in front of the camera so easy, laughable and enjoyable. They gave great direction and said all the right things to make us laugh and smile, like this was something we did every day. They not only had great ideas for pictures but their vision of different scenery throughout the venue was awesome. They both got great candid shots of guests and the venue. We are so thankful to them for making our day so great and capturing all these amazing pictures. You both are truly awesome! Thank you Red Barn Wedding Photography!

    Absolutely incredible!

    ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!! Two words...book now! Bogdan is the best, from the moment that we first met him we know that we had found someone special and we did not hesitate to book him for our wedding. Bogdan was so great on our big day. He was able to put both of us at ease throughout the day and make us feel comfortable and relaxed while taking the pictures. He has an eye for setting up some amazing shots and the final product really shows it. Our friends and and family cannot stop raving about how beautiful every single picture looks. We cannot say enough good things about Bogdan, he did an incredible job. He is very professional, but also has a wonderful sense of humor. We loved everything about our experience and would highly recommend Bogdan and Red Barn Studio to anyone!

    Amazing Team!!!!!

    There is not enough space here to write about how amazing both Elena and Bogdan from Red Barn Wedding Studio Photography are. We couldn’t have made a better choice. Everything about our day was perfect and a lot of that can be attributed to them. They have an amazing and calming presence and works with the utmost professionalism. From our initial contact with Bogdan and Elena, a year before the wedding, our engagement shoot, to the wedding and to today as we work on our album they have been incredible. I highly recommend Red Barn Wedding Studio to anyone who is looking for an amazing photography team AND the best ever pictures! You cannot go wrong.

    If you are looking for an easy going, professional, and insanely talented wedding photographer, then look no further....

    If you are looking for an easy going, professional, and insanely talented wedding photographer, then look no further, Bogdan is amazing. Not only did my wedding and engagement photos turn out absolutely amazing, but he made this process so unbelievably easy and relaxed.

    On the day of our wedding Bogdan and his team were beyond of our expectations, punctual, detail oriented, easy going, organized, and authentic. They kept everything on track, and they were careful to ensure that all of the shots and details of our day were captured.

    My husband and I are not super comfortable in front of the camera, but they made it totally painless.
    I truly cannot say enough good things about working with Red Barn Studio, I would hire them a million times over.

    Amazing experience!!

    We found Red Barn Studio after searching through listings of local photographers and videographers. After going on their website, looking at photos and watching videos we knew that we had to reach out to them to see if they were available for our wedding. We met with Elena at their studio and were impressed with their work. We booked them immediately and we were so excited. Our photographer for the engagement session and wedding was Bogdan. He is awesome and a very talented photographer. Our engagement session pictures were STUNNING! Our second photographer, Elena, captured my husband and his family getting ready, some of my favorite photos! The pictures are beautiful and we are currently choosing our photos for the albums and prints. With over 1000 gorgeous pictures to choose from, it's going to take us a while!
    We highly recommend Red Barn Studio. They offer amazing value, professionalism (all of our emails and calls were always responded to immediately), their staff is talented and enjoyable to work with and their work is high quality. Another big plus is that once you receive your pictures and videos, they are yours, no copyright protection and you can share your photos with friends and relatives without breaking the bank ordering prints.

    My husband and I couldn't be more happier with Red Barn Studio! They listened to all my requests at our meetings before the big day and confirmed timing to make sure we were all aligned! The pictures came out amazing!!! They all made us feel stress free and just let us have fun while they worked their magic! We highly recommend their team, since they are so professional to capture all the lovely moment and you will be worry free on your wedding day!

    Best of the best!!!

    Choosing Red Barn Studio for our wedding photos was a great decision. Our photographer Bogdan made the whole process enjoyable, natural, and FUN! He was constantly searching for new ideas, angles, styles of shots he had not done before. You could tell he loves his job and the joy was infectious. If you want the most authentic, unique, and fun photos in town, he is your guy. We HIGHLY recommend Red Barn Studio to handle your photography needs!

    Happy bride

    I can't thank the Red Barn Studio enough! My photos came out awesome. I am so happy with them. Choosing a photographer and videographer was a hard choice for me because I live in Florida and had the wedding in Chicago. Elena was very accommodating with meeting me when I was up in Chicago planning everything. The photographers are great, they know what they are doing! Bogdan made me feel very at ease. Thank you to the team!

    They perfectly capture a beautiful day with the people we love the most.

    Red Barn Studio was one of the best decisions we made with our wedding and I say that after going through all the reviews for vendors on wedding websites. The photos turned out beyond what we ever expected. My goal was to have 2-3 good photos and what we received were so many great pictures, it's hard to choose which one is our favorite! Beyond the photos, they made me feel absolutely at ease on the day of our wedding. They perfectly capture a beautiful day with the people we love the most, and for that we are forever grateful. I would highly recommend using Red Barn Studio for your special day!

    Beyond satisfied!

    I came across Red Barn team at a bridal fair and immediately noticed the exceptional quality of their photos and video. Their work stood out from everyone else. After our engagement shoot, I couldn’t wait for our wedding! The team at our wedding was wonderful, taking time to get all the shots we wanted, and much more. We got a sneak peek of the photos within a few days and they were beautiful. Once we got our video and highlight reel, we were again amazed at the vision and cinematic quality of work. And the final photos are amazing. Their professionalism, creative thought, and attention to detail were more than we could’ve asked for. Beyond satisfied!

    Above and beyond my expectations.

    I can't say enough about Red Barn Studio team. They were everything we could have imagined, and more. I loved all of the natural pictures they caught. We were able to get all of our traditional posed family/friend pictures and also enjoy a ton of fun, natural photos of us. This team went above and beyond my expectations. I didn't have a wedding planner and Elena even went as far as getting a time line together for me to plan when everyone needed to arrive and where to go, it was amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Book Red Barn Studio!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

We would definitely recommend them for your big day!

    If you want to have captured all of the joy...RB Wedding Studio

    I think everyone agree that great wedding photos are incredibly important. If you want to have captured all of the joy, all of the love, all of the pure emotion, do not think twice in hiring Red Barn Wedding Studio. Elena and Bogdan are masterful with lighting, composition, and catching the special little moments. They were able to capture every moment so beautifully. My family and friends have consistently told me that my wedding photos are the most beautiful they have ever seen. I'll look back in 20 years and still admire their beautiful work. If you are looking for a photographer, look no further than Red Barn Studio!

    Great experience

    Bogdan and his crew did the photographs and video for our wedding. He was so easy to work with! Super laid back personality and made everything so easy for us on our big day down to every last detail including fluffing my dress and fixing my veil before all of our pictures. They got all of the shots that we wanted and then some. Our pictures and video came out absolutely beautiful and all pricing very reasonable. Highly recommend Red Barn Studio. Cant thank you enough!!!!

    Bogdan and his wife Elena just recently photographed my wedding in August. They went above and beyond my expectations! They were not only so helpful and flexible the day of, but they were involved in the planning process leading up to the wedding. Their pictures speak for themselves, they are stunning. There is a good mix of posed and natural pictures. I loved working with them and would highly recommend Red Barn Wedding Studio to anyone looking for a photographer!

    We found Red Barn Studio through the Wedding Wire and from my first meeting with them; Elena’s knowledge, professionalism and friendliness made me feel so comfortable in making my decision to choose them for one of the most important days of my life. Our wedding was on July 20, 2019 and we seriously had the dream team. Bogdan and Elena were so amazing to work with, so fun and put up with my wild husband and his boys. I highly recommend using them they were a blast while getting all the shots we wanted it’s like working with friends, how can you beat that??

    Elena, Bogdan and Red Bank Studios crew are absolutely amazing! We were recommended by a friend in a wedding party who used Red Bank Studios. When we saw the pictures we knew this is what we wanted. From the first meeting with Elena- seeing the options and photo albums that were available, it was an easy choice. The team makes you feel so comfortable and listens to exactly what you want. Turnaround time for the wedding photos was so fast. Great communication, extremely friendly. So happy they made our wedding so memorable!

    A+++++!!!!! Cipriani Photography provides quality service and excellent photo quality. We were so impressed with the photography during our engagement photo session that we hired them to drive to Missouri to photograph our wedding! I would recommend Cipriani Photography hands down!

    Thank you Bogdan Rusu / Cipriani Photograpy for making our wedding a stunning memory through your genuine photographic style. He did a great job both prompt and professional. He gives polite instructions for posing and reliable information on choosing the best picture locations according to the season. We received many compliments from our guests who visited the online gallery. We enjoyed working with Bogdan and plan to adopt his services for future family photography. Thank you so much, Elena and Alexandru ;) Chicago.

    Red Barn Wedding Studio's reply:

We know that by this time you already have a charming little boy... Congratulations on your new " bundle of joy" and hopefully you will choose us for other special events that life might bring you.

    I really enjoyed working with them for my wedding! I found them very reliable, responsive, and organized. Our photographer, Bogdan, was very flexible in that he drove to 4 different sites on our wedding day. He was also very friendly and helpful at herding our large family into all the essential group poses. I wanted a variety of posed, candid, and "detail" shots, which Bogdan did a fantastic job at. Overall, a great experience!

    We used them for our wedding . Every picture was a piece of art. We are so happy with their services and recommend them to anyone! People are constantly asking us who our photographers were and how amazing the pictures came out. Not only did the pictures come out fantastic but Bogdan was so easy to work with. He made us comfortable the entire time. If you chose them, you will not be disappointed!!!!!!

    Brides and grooms search no more, Bogdan can make super nice photos- and I am a picky costumer; if you want journalistic photography or more formal he can help with ideas, but he also makes sure you are comfortable and the day floats smoothly. Our wedding album turned out breath taking and I recommend him to all my friends.

    I am literally speechless. I stared at the blank page for a full minute because no words adequately express how I feel. My wedding pictures came out perfect. Each one is better than the next. I don't consider myself photogenic, but I would never say that after looking at these photos. Thank you SO SO much

    Couldn't be more happier with the quality of the photos taken. Bogdan was very professional, we also hired him for "thrash the dress", thanks to him we have lifelong lasting memories. I would always recommend him, the quality of his work speaks for itself.

    Bogdan is one of the most talented photographers I know. One of the pictures taken by him was featured in Forbes Magazine in Romania. I highly recommend having him capture in photographs your special event. You'll be absolutely delighted by his professionalism and creativity.

    Bogdan is an amazing photographer, took literally thousands of pictures that all came out great. He was wonderful to our guests. Bogdan went well above to make our day special, even came to the event early to "scope out the place" to get more ideas for pictures. He was so much fun, and a hard worker. He keept things organized and flowing, and took all the stress off of us. He created so many beatiful photos and made taking pictures enjoyable and fun. He fulfilled all of our requests and wishes and we can't thank him enough!!

    I found an amazing deal on wedding wire and decided to hire Wedding Chicago Pro to take our engagement photos. We gave them a location and they just ran with it. Our photographer Bogdan was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He guided my fiance and I through the photos ( we typically have a hard time posing for the camera)... Not only did he know what he was doing, he was very nice and personable. I would certainly recommend his services to any bride in the Chicago area. I can't wait to get my CD after viewing the pictures online!!

    Loved our wedding photos and videos

    We used Red Barn for our engagement photos and wedding photography/videography in 2024. We absolutely love how everything turned out. The photos are beautiful and the videos are so amazing - take this as your sign to have videography at your wedding through Red Barn. They perfectly captured the magic of our special day.

    Amazing photo and video experience for our wedding day!

    Bogdan, Anton, and Johnny-Florian were AMAZING to work with. Bogdan, the lead photographer made sure to snatch us for photos whenever he saw a great opportunity. We really appreciate this as we believe our photos are the most important part of our wedding day. Bogdan was also very efficient and direct, making sure that all photo opportunities and requests were completed in a timely manner. He was so fun to work with, too! Anton (videographer) was very fun, and he has a positive attitude the entire day. He was alongside the photographers the entire day, making sure to catch all the special moments on video. We cannot wait to see our wedding video. Johnny-Florian didn’t even seem like a secondary photographer as he led a lot of the photo moments! He was right alongside Bogdan and even had his own ideas for poses and locations around the venue. He was very easy and fun to work with, and he even showed my husband how to properly dip me for a photo and during dancing. :) Finally, Elena worked hard behind the scenes via email, phone call, and video chat to set up our engagement photo session, direct our payments, and assist in creating a schedule for our wedding day. I highly recommend Red Barn Wedding Studio for anyone looking for a wedding photography/videography business in the greater Chicagoland area.

    We hired Red Barn Wedding Studio for our wedding on 8/19 and we couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out! They were very professional and on time the entire day and made the day less stressful. I would highly recommend their services!

    Awesome Experience

    Elena and Maks were absolutely amazing. We had a great experience with them at both our engagement photo shoot and the day of the wedding. Both made us feel incredibly comfortable and they were extremely creative in finding awesome lighting / backgrounds / poses. We also used Red Barn for our photo booth and videography services and could not have been happier. They truly did a fantastic job and were very much worth every penny! We would definitely recommend to our friends in the future!

    Amazing!! 10/10 recommend!

    Elena and Bogan were amazing! They were always quick to answer any questions and request we had. They were very knowledgeable on their work and how to pose you. I’m awkward and the photos turned out amazing. Our photos were slightly rushed due to potential rain but they were just looking out for us- which was appreciated. There was a small miscommunication on when our wedding photos would be back to us but that didn’t even matter when we got to see our beautiful gallery. The online gallery makes it best to share and access your photos. Only thing I’d recommend is to make sure you have a list for family photos- we didn’t and missed a few that we would have liked to have. (Maybe make it something they need to turn in before the wedding day). The videographer was also amazing! He got what he needed and anything we asked as well. I’d 100% recommend Red Barn!

    Wedding photos

    I would highly recommend Red Barn to any future couples. The staff was very friendly from day one & we got our photos back a couple weeks sooner than expected. We’re still waiting on the video, but so far we have been very happy with how our photos! We chose the package that includes photos, video, & the Photo Booth for our guests to enjoy.
