After the party, it’s the AFTERPARTY!! Ernest and Haley did not disappoint when after an incredibly beautiful wedding (complete with a Rolls Royce exit!), they transformed the Waldorf Astoria Chicago into a club scene we’ll never forget! And can we talk about Haley’s priceless reaction when she saw the reception space?? We loved every classic Chicago element of their summer wedding, from the peony bouquet to the iconic Watertower and Michigan Avenue portraits!

Huge shoutout to Big City Brides and Life in Bloom for creating and executing a magical day! And of course to our wonderful couple for trusting us to capture their special day! And to our INSANELY talented photography and videography team @bonphotage.associates for producing stunning work EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!!

Bonphotage Chicago Wedding Photography - Collin & Cristina - The Exchange Chicago

The Exchange in Chicago was on our bucket list since it opened and we were so thrilled to serve such a wonderful couple at such a gorgeous venue! Collin and Cristina’s wedding started at the Palmerhouse Hilton where they each shared a relaxing morning with their closest friends and family. We then headed to the stunning ballroom where they had their emotional first look! We then headed out for portraits at some of our favorite locations including the formal gardens and the Chicago riverwalk. So much beauty was created even before the ceremony began! Collin and Cristina could not wipe the smiles off their faces from beginning to end and we are so excited to share a sneak peek of their day! Congrats you two!

Bonphotage Chicago Film Wedding Photography and Cinematography - Lauren & Gabriel - Armour House

From our bride “I literally have no words for how amazing Serena and the Bonphotage team were! Serena showed me some of the photos on the back of her camera and I can’t even believe they are real! We are so grateful!” We had been looking forward to Lauren and Gabe’s wedding at the beautiful Armour House Estate for over a year and it was truly as beautiful as we knew it would be! Lauren and Gabe added special touches such as sushi apps and a limousine arrival for the bridal party. The florals were lush and the candle lit dinner setting made for a romantic and sexy ambiance. Congratulations L & G and enjoy this sneak peek!

Bonphotage Chicago Engagement Photography - Jessica and Raul - Olive Park

Words from our beautiful bride “We just got back from our honeymoon, but I wanted to say that Sammie & Brit were fabulous!! They were absolutely amazing, from helping me into my dress to helping me take off smudged nail polish. My family loved how warm & friendly they were. The groomsmen were all very nervous about pictures, but Brit made them feel totally at ease. We had rain the morning of the wedding, but Sammi & Brit weren’t phased in the slightest. Their wonderful energy kept me feeling amazing the whole day! We also LOVED LOVED LOVED taking engagement pictures with Serena! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We felt super prepared going into our wedding day! Seriously, the BEST team!”

We are SO grateful to serve such wonderful couples!

Bonphotage Chicago Fine Art Film Photography - Anne-Marie and Markel - Chicago Art Institute Engagement

When blogger Anne-Marie contacted us about her upcoming wedding at the Adler Planetarium, we were STOKED, to say the least! Aside from being gorgeous and stylish, she and her fiance Markel are deeply in love and the kindest souls! For their engagement session, they envisioned a mix of fine art film images in our signature airy natural light filled style, along with a more documentary and cinematic style. We loved this idea and can’t wait to incorporate it more in our shoots!

Congrats you two - we can’t wait for the big day!

Bonphotage Chicago Fine Art Wedding Photography & Videography - St. Mary of the Angels & Salvatore's - Glynis & Nick

I remember my first phone call with Glynis and Nick like it was yesterday. They had a very clear vision for their wedding day - of utmost importance was their ceremony and commitment to one another and secondly, was their love of quality fine art film photography (music to our ears!) Every detail of their beautiful wedding was carefully thought through from their calligraphed invitations to the stunning florals - it was a perfect way to kick off our wedding season and we are so grateful! Congratulations you two!

Bonphotage Chicago Wedding Photography and Videography - Chicago Cultural Center - Sophia and Chris

Where do we start with these two?? How about the fact that when walked in the hotel room at the start of the day, we immediately felt like Sophia had been our bestie for years?? We were laughing and having fun from the start, and it’s a good thing too— because Friday the 13th tested us at every turn! Through every obstacle we faced: construction, traffic, rain, a bad tumble (thankfully everyone was okay!!), these two kept smiling and taking a step back to take in the big picture of their wedding day. We were so impressed by how they handled everything that came their way with grace and laughter, and kept the shining light of their love burning bright. It bodes well for their life together: they clearly will be tackling everything as a team. Which is what marriage is all about.

So now, let’s enjoy every dreamy detail from their wedding day, from her couture Ines de Santo gown to the understated baby breath bouquet. Actual perfection. Dining and dancing under the dome at the Chicago Cultural Center is a dream. Every inch of that space is perfect. Also they win for best choreographed dance of the year, hands down. Congratulations Sophia and Chris, we love you guys and cherish every second we spent together!!

We then went to the Art Institute South Garden (secret garden in the city!) for portraits before saying I do! The wedding was filled with so many sweet moments and we are so honored to have been a part of their day!

Congrats you two!

We had the most magical golden hour session at North Ave Beach Pier in Lincoln Park and we are so excited to share their film scans (don’t think we will ever get over adorable Effie!) We look forward to continue capturing this sweet fam over the years!
