Meet Isabelle + Michael. You may remember them from their super fun ENGAGEMENT SESSION. What can I say...... they are so sweet. Let me rephrase that.... they are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.....!!!! Isabelle is so fun and so appreciative of our work and so easy going. I love everything about her. And I love the way Michael looks at her. How can you not....? She is stunning!

Where do I go from here? The details of their wedding... deserves an O.M.G...! I absolutely love her dress. Is it not to die for? Love the flower and the layers! Sheesh.......... I could go on forever. Isabelle + Michael both got ready at the incredible new boutique hotel in Chicago, the Elysian. It's beyond stunning. The presidential suite is over the top. That's where the dress shots were taken.

Next, let's talk about the Chicago Botanic Garden. Just spectacular!!! Connie Bolle, the Director of Sales and Catering, is incredibly sweet. She did an amazing job preparing for this wedding. The grounds are lush and beyond dreamy! It's a perfect place for a wedding! I love the room with all the pictures on the wall, such a great space for portraits.

A big and very deserved shout out goes to Reva Nathan, Event Planner Extraordinaire. I call her that because that's exactly what she is.... extraordinary! As you can see from the last wedding I posted, she knows how to plan and execute the most incredible events. If you're looking to have a unique, mouth dropping affair, then Reva ... her staff is definitely the perfect choice!

Thank you Isabelle + Michael for choosing us! You make our hearts smile big, and you make us want to be better people. Thank you, a huge thank you to Aida Krgin for flying out from New York and 2nd shooting this wedding with Bob. You are so talented and such a great friend.

I hope you all enjoy these photos. It was so hard to narrow down our selection. I love all their photos!

Much love.......!

~ Dawn ... Bob

So, to all our photographer friends who use Pictage, this opportunity is for YOU! Bob will be one of the judges.

I have quite a bit of influence with him! Just kidding of course............. ; )

It's quite an honor to be on the cover of this amazing magazine, RANGEFINDER, one that I would like to see Bob's image on someday. Good luck everyone! LEARN HOW TO ENTER HERE.

Associates, event planner extraordinaire. They blew me away with their kindness. They have a great love for their family and they were so excited for Lynn + Adam. I felt such a connection to them, you could just tell they had a grateful marriage and so appreciative of their blessings in life. We later met with them again and were introduced to Lynn + Adam. We could see right away the beauty that had been handed down to Lynn. They are an incredible family and we were so blessed to be part of their wedding day!

Thank you Helene, Burt, Lynn + Adam for sharing one of the most important days in your life with us! We wish you all a lifetime of happiness!!! And a big thank you to our 2nd shooter, Ed Weiland. You are the best and we love you!

Big hugs!
