Bonphotage Fine Art Wedding Photography - Chateau Torreau - Provence, France - Published on White Wren

This inspiration shoot at Chateau de Tourreau was designed to showcase all the beauty that comes alone with an intimate destination wedding in the Provencial French countryside. We are so thrilled to see this beautiful wedding featured on the White Wren

 

As the day began the bride was able to take a few moments alone and soak in all the beauty of the chateau before stepping out onto the sun-drenched terrace to take in the view of the perfectly maintained grounds. The bride changed into a stunning, plunging-back gown and carried a breathtaking pink and white peony filled bouquet with accent of fresh fruit from Jardin de Provence. Once she was ready, she strolled down the grand staircase to meet her love.

Bonphotage Fine Art Wedding Photography - St. George Greek Orthodox Church - Palmer House Hilton Hotel - Anna & Tony

Everything about Anna and Tony's wedding left us in awe - from the Lazaro gown, to the stunning Palmer house Hilton ballroom  to the Jimmy Choo sparkly heels - but most of all, it was the couple themselves. Tony and Anna have been dating for the better part of a decade, yet, the love between them was as sweet and apparent as if they had just met (can't you feel the chemistry in the photos?!) We couldn't love these two more and we are so excited to share a sneak peek of their perfect day! 

Congrats you two! xo, Bonphotage

Bonphotage Fine Art Chicago Wedding Photography - The Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii & 19 East - Courtney + Kyle

I can't say enough good things about Courtney and Kyle and their beautiful wedding! From her classic gown, to portraits at Chicago's architectural treasure - Union Station, to the emotional ceremony (where Courtney couldn't quite wait for the first kiss) to the fun dance party at 19 East, it was really a perfect day! Even mom and dad were tearing it up on the dance floor (which is what weddings are all about, right?!)

We are honored to have been a small part of their wedding day and we are so excited to share a sneak peek into their day! Congrats you two!

Bonphotage Chicago Bridal Shower Photography - Hampton Social

It is always such an honor when a client returns for you to capture other major events in their lives. Not only did I have the opportunity to capture Su's engagement session, but I was also lucky enough to capture her adorable bridal shower at the lovely Hampton Social in Chicago! "Rose all day" was the name of the game and these ladies sure know how to have a good time! Not to mention, the natural window light was perfect for film photography! I can't wait to capture your wedding this summer Su - and I hope you treasure these images for a lifetime!

Bonphotage Chicago Wedding Photography - Lindsey and Nick

I met Nick and Lindsey on a *freezing* Chicago day for their engagement photos. Despite the rigid temperatures, these two had a great attitude, posed beautifully for their session and their love shined through as though in the images as though it weren't horribly uncomfortable outside. From that moment on, I knew these two would be a joy to work with and I couldn't wait for their big day the following Autumn!

Their wedding was filled with happy smiles, sweet details - including an artist who sketched special moments at the wedding, and lots of dancing! I am so happy for them and hope you all enjoy this sneak peek! 

Special thanks to Madeline and Rachel for second shooting this beautiful day!

It was really, really hard to put together a sneak peek of Liz + Dmitry's engagement session because every image opened was my favorite! In addition to being ridiculously photogenic, L + D also included their super sweet pup Max in their engagement photoshoot!

Bonphotage - Chicago Twilight Elopement!

I'm a big fan of elopements. While there is something to be said for the planning and culmination of a big wedding day, there is something very sweet and authentic about a couple in love, without all the hoopla, tying the knot in a beautiful location. 

When Gwen and Chris asked me to photograph their elopement along the lake during the golden hour, I was just a wee bit excited! Their sweet ceremony was filled with raw emotion and love and it was truly an honor to be there to photograph their special day!
