OKAY, iโ€™m pretty excited about this wedding. Lindsey & Kai had a multicultural wedding, with a Chinese tea ceremony to start the day off with. The vibrant punch of Lindseyโ€™s red dress ๐Ÿ’ƒ just make the photos POP ๐Ÿ’ฅ

We did some charming retro-esque portraits next to Lindseyโ€™s ice cream stand (she owns an ice cream companyโ€”check her out!!! ๐Ÿฆ), cute kitchen photos in their apartment, some in front of the Marianoโ€™s which they love shopping at, in the park in front of their apartment, and DEFINITELY some with their adorable pup! ๐Ÿถ

Though this wedding was a smaller one, we jam-packed it full with epic portraits that weโ€™re SO happy with. Check it out, and stay tuned for more (bc i definitely didnโ€™t have space in one post to show off all the glamour that is Lindsey & Kai ๐Ÿ˜Œ)

ALSO, CHECK OUT their 5 ๐ŸŒŸ review!!! LITERAL POETRY ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ They definitely had us grinning from ear to ear! ๐Ÿ˜ After reading it, we definitely said to ourselves: โ€œWe love our job ๐Ÿฅนโ€:

โ€œYES. You found the correct answer. Itโ€™s them. You did it. Your long (or short) search for a Chicago wedding photographer is over. Congrats. Pavel and Kristen is the answer.
Like you, we were swirling with the same thoughts. โ€œAre wedding photographers that different?โ€ โ€œMaybe we can spend less here to splurge elsewhereโ€ โ€œAdamkovi is nice but maybe itโ€™s not worth the priceโ€
All fair questions. But let me tell ya, they were worth every gosh darn penny. Why? Because they made us look beautiful. Made our wedding feel beautiful. And most importantly made sure that whenever we look back on this day, itโ€™ll forever be beautiful.
The wedding was a whirlwind. I donโ€™t remember most of it. But looking back, I get to relive all the special beats. Pavel captures the emotions and Kristen brings them to life.
No notes. Choose them. Congrats on the wedding. And most importantly congrats on choosing Adamkovi.โ€

grace & jacquesโ€™ gorgeously romantic and vintage wedding at salvage one was so organic and full of so many authentic + heartfelt moments i just gotta share ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน

from the fact that the bridesmaids DIYโ€™d all the florals ๐Ÿ’, to all the emotional and hilarious speeches, to the iconic tattoos of silly childhood faces to the very personal touch of glass cleaner as wedding favors ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ™Œ such an amazing to begin the year with!
