Margo and Skip…

Margo and Skip had a terrific wedding at the Wit… I knew they would!   They are such a fun couple!

A shot from my good friend, Justin Runquist.

Who doesn’t love their iPhone?

Thanks so much, you two!   Very best wishes to you both!

Sarah and Kyle’s Engagement Session…

Sarah and Kyle were a lot of fun to photograph and spend time with.   Kyle works at the Harold Washington Library , so we ducked in there for a few shots.

Thanks, you two!   See you soon!

Jessica and Tony, Part III

Jessica and Tony are the kind of clients that keep popping up in my life, full of love and surprises.

I photographed their wedding in Cancun, had a blast with them during a trash the dress session at sunrise the morning after their wedding, then won two WPJA awards from their wedding.

For a birthday present to her father, Kevin, Jessica and family scheduled a private photography lesson in my home, and later, we ducked out to Humboldt Park on a scorching day for a shootout.

Happy Birthday, Kevin!

Jessica photographs her mother, Stacie, and Stacie tries to keep her daughter from toppling off the radiator.

Jessica and her brother, Zach.

Zach and Tony.    Yes, it was that hot.   The cool, tile floor felt great!

Jessica and Tony, thanks again for popping back into my life!   Can’t wait to see you all again!

Kevin Olson - Thanks so much Candice. We had a lot of fun that day and I learned from you (again!). You’re talented, funny, and one of the warmest, nicest people I know.

Jessica Olson - These are wonderful Candice! We had so much fun. Much love as always!

IRIS Books…

I am in love with Andrea and Nicola’s wedding album.   This unique, silk-bound book features personalized embossing, handmade marbled paper,  hand-sewn pages and archival printing.   This gorgeous book features a custom slipcase and a variety of colors.

doug - that is a beautiful album, kudo’s!

The chocolate wedding…

Suzzanna and Patrick had a wedding I will never forget.   Not because they are a funny, happy couple truly in love.    They are.   The unforgettable part is the chocolate fondue machine exploded during their wedding, drenching an unfortunate flower girl with thick, chocolate paste.

I posted a teaser of this wedding here, but this is their story and how it unfolded.

You can’t help but love this couple.   And laugh with them.   Loudly!

My kind of people!

I am happy to report this exploding incident didn’t ruin anyone’s evening.

The flower girl changed dresses, tore up the dance floor and spent the evening laughing with her family.   Before going back for more chocolate.   What an amazing attitude.

And a wedding I’ll never forget!
