    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.

    Best company to work with

    We booked with Red Barn and were thoroughly impressed by their professionalism and quality. Our photographer, Florian, was outstanding. He captured every moment beautifully with a keen eye for detail and made us feel at ease throughout the session. The photos turned out stunning, exceeding all our expectations. I highly recommend Red Barn for their exceptional service and talent. Thank you for the unforgettable memories!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Fantastic!

    Our wedding was just a magic day from the beginning until the end! We couldn't ask for better help than Red Barn Studio, all the team is very professional and helpful, not only with their spectacular videos and photos, if not scheduling and making sure all around the wedding is in order
    Thank you soooo much Red Barn team for your incredible and professional work!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Amazing photographers!

    Elena and Bogdan were amazing for our wedding! They did our engagement shoot and our wedding and the photos were amazing! They were amazing about communicating throughout the whole process and we couldn't have asked for better photographers.

    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!!

    Highly Recommend!

    We chose a package with Red Barn that included engagement photos and wedding photography/videography. It was always a pleasant experience working with Bogdan, Elena & their team leading up to and on the day of the wedding. Great communication and guidance throughout the process. We absolutely loved our photos/videos and we continue to hear positive comments from friends and family impressed with their work, too! I highly recommend Red Barn for future couples.

    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.
