Red Barn Wedding Studio

Red Barn Wedding Studio is a Des Plaines-based wedding photography and videography studio serving the Chicago area, operating since 2010. Red Barn focuses on documentary-style photography and cinematic wedding films, following the day as it unfolds rather than directing it, with packages covering photography, video, or both, starting from $1,995 for photography. Operating for 15 years with over 1,000 couples photographed, the studio has earned The Knot Hall of Fame recognition and holds a 5.0 rating across 300+ reviews on platforms including The Knot and WeddingWire. They have photographed at 80+ venues across Chicagoland. Based in Des Plaines, IL, Red Barn photographs across Chicagoland and travels for destination weddings across the U.S., Europe, and the Caribbean. Couples frequently note the team's calm, organized communication, timeline guidance from coordinator Elena, and the ability of photographers like Bogdan, Maks, and Florian to capture candid emotion while staying unobtrusive. Several reviewers highlight quick turnaround and galleries that feel like reliving the day.
