OKAY, iโm 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 Lindseyโs red dress ๐ just make the photos POP ๐ฅ
We did some charming retro-esque portraits next to Lindseyโs ice cream stand (she owns an ice cream companyโcheck her out!!! ๐ฆ), cute kitchen photos in their apartment, some in front of the Marianoโs which they love shopping at, in the park in front of their apartment, and DEFINITELY some with their adorable pup! ๐ถ
Though this wedding was a smaller one, we jam-packed it full with epic portraits that weโre SO happy with. Check it out, and stay tuned for more (bc i definitely didnโt have space in one post to show off all the glamour that is Lindsey & Kai ๐)
ALSO, CHECK OUT their 5 ๐ review!!! LITERAL POETRY ๐๐๐ They definitely had us grinning from ear to ear! ๐ After reading it, we definitely said to ourselves: โWe love our job ๐ฅนโ:

โYES. You found the correct answer. Itโs 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. โAre wedding photographers that different?โ โMaybe we can spend less here to splurge elsewhereโ โAdamkovi is nice but maybe itโs 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, itโll forever be beautiful.
The wedding was a whirlwind. I donโt 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

๐๐ฅฐ๐ THANK YOU SO MUCH LINDSEY & KAI FOR THIS AMAZING REVIEW ๐ฅฐ
