Best PHOTO experience EVER!!

My fiance and I just had our engagement/save the date shoot on Sunday in New York. We had been having trouble with the photographer we chosen, she was so unprofessional. She wasn't returning our phone calls and wasn't being very helpful. So I went to WeddingWire.com in search of a new photographer and I found the wonderful Pavel Shpak. http://pavelshpakphotography.com Long story short Pavel is amazing! He gave us guidance on poses, he was in the cold providing so many creative ideas etc. He took our photos Sunday at 3 PM and I was able to select the photos that I wanted by noon Monday and I had them back edited and gorgeous by 3 PM Monday afternoon!! Feel free to check out his site along with my wedding website www.torieanddevonbrown.com to see his work! Just wanted to share my experience with my fellow AA brides!

    </div><div>He is based out of NY and also Miami. His session is free with the packages. He really doesnt like to shoot just engagement shots without the client signing on for the package.
