I am so pleased to be named among the Top 100 Wedding Photographers of 2015 by the Wedding Photojournalist Association!  This organization is truly committed to moment-driven wedding photojournalism, and I’m so proud to be a part of it, along with many of my talented friends!  Thanks so much, WPJA!

EXCELLENCE IN WEDDING PHOTOJOURNALISM

Since 2002 the WPJA has been helping couples capture the story of their wedding.

The Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) is a professional organization composed of photojournalists and wedding photographers from around the world. What sets our members apart in the industry is their candid, documentary approach – a distinctly artistic vision toward wedding photography.

The Wedding Photojournalist Association puts the world’s best wedding photography at your fingertips. We offer a new perspective on wedding photography – quietly capturing the real moments as they happen for the bride and groom. It is our goal to use photography to tell the story of your wedding day, not dictate it for you.Chicago wedding photography workshop by Candice CusicPHOTOGRAPHERS: I have spots available for my 2-day photojournalism workshop September 13-14 in downtown Chicago!  The Moment-Driven Photojournalism Workshop is designed to recharge your photography. If you’re shooting the same thing each week, the same way … I can help. We’ll take an in depth look at your images and help you step outside your comfort zone, try new things, and produce stronger images that your clients will absolutely love.

YOU’LL LEARN

how to make stronger images, how to capture moments during a portrait session, and how to overcome any anxiety you may experience in documenting and interacting with strangers

YOU’LL RECEIVE

a thorough critique of your website images and will leave with an edited portfolio selection of your strongest photographs.

YOU’LL PARTICIPATE

in shooting assignments in downtown Chicago documenting strangers. This is not a “stand around, watching Candice photograph models” session. This is a hands-on workshop – the best way to learn something is to do it yourself!

Thanks much and I hope to see you September 13-14!

    Meet Zeno.

    After being surrendered by his owner, Zeno has spent more than a year waiting at Red Door Animal Shelter for someone to choose him.

    And somehow, after all this time, he’s still soft. Still trusting. Still hopeful.

    Cats like Zeno don’t need perfection. They just need someone willing to see them.

    Seen. Heard. Loved.

    📍 Red Door Animal Shelter

    🐾 Available for adoption

    Meet Tootsie 💛
    ⠀
    Surrendered by her owner, Tootsie arrived at Hinsdale Humane Society with little to no information about her past. That’s where we stepped in.
    ⠀
    Nicole, Administrative Manager at Hinsdale Humane Society, brought Tootsie to us and is part of this moment you’re seeing—helping us begin to understand who Tootsie really is.
    ⠀
    The See Hear Love Project is the only project that combines animal communication and professional photography—helping uncover each dog’s story and showing who they truly are.
    ⠀
    Now it’s Tootsie’s turn to be seen for exactly who she is 💫
    ⠀
    Seen. Heard. Loved.

    Avalanche didn’t start life this way.
    ⠀
    Rescued from a hoarding situation through @reddoorshelter, his world was once crowded, uncertain, and far from safe.
    ⠀
    But something beautiful happened—
    his foster saw him… and never let him go.
    ⠀
    Avalanche is now home.
    ⠀
    ⠀
    Seen. Heard. Loved.
