Welcome to River Forest Chocolates!
Here's the first of two videos I just posted for a wonderful local shop, River Forest Chocolates (riverforestchocolates.com, 708-366-0891). I shot/edited/produced both of these videos that the owner, Donna Slepicka, is posting on her website and Facebook page. This is the overview video to visually represent the shop and the quality/care that goes into all the chocolate candies that are made on site. #chocolate #RiverForest #DonnaFantettiSlepicka #JohnGriffin #LumixGH4 #Lumix
