Slav went well out of his way to accommodate our needs, and as I understand it, this is his usual modus operandi. He worked non-stop at our event, made sure to capture all the right moments, and our entire extended family, who tend to be critical, were pleased with the results. His style of shooting group photos was also pleasant, and his personality is upbeat and sincere, unlike some photographers who seem to be trying too hard to make you smile.
He also understands all the intricacies of an observant Jewish wedding, where there are different things happening at the same time, sometimes in two different places (since there is often a men’s side and a women’s side throughout, except for the chuppah).
I agree that it is a good idea, as with any service provider, to get things in writing beforehand so there are no misunderstandings later.
Slav obviously takes pride in his work, and if you order an album or portrait he will do meticulous retouching. I know this because a relative ordered family portraits that were taken at our event. For us, we went with the raw images for now, but when our budget allows, we hope to order an album from him, having seen the impressive samples in his studio. We will probably do a simple full page per photo, but he can Photoshop inset pictures and collages if that’s your style.

Review from Customer
We looked into a number of photographers in the Chicago area who are familiar with Orthodox Jewish weddings. We chose Slav both because he is a very gifted photographer and because he was a pleasure to work with. He did a friend’s wedding a few months before and she had given him rave reviews.
Even knowing all of that going in, he still far exceeded our expectations! He did such an incredible job throughout the entire process. He was great at communicating and always got back to us very quickly. He arrived early and stayed late to make sure he got all of the important shots of the day and he did just that — he caught all of the beautiful moments throughout the ceremony, the dinner, dancing, everything.
He does all of his work in-studio and the quality is excellent. I’m not sure how we’re going to pick photos for the album as just about all of the photos are album-worthy and exceptional. Everyone who sees them comments about how stunning they are and what a great photographer we must have had.
He had the photos posted soon after the wedding and they’re even organized by sections (different parts of the day), which makes them much easier to view.
Thank you Slav! The only part of the wedding I cared about (besides the chosson/groom, of course), was the photographer and you went above and beyond anything I could have imagined! You should be blessed to bring more joy and beauty to many more simchas.
