Blue and White chinoiserie-inspired wedding of our dreams?! YES. With the beautiful backdrop of the Pacific Ocean from Bel Air Bay Club, Mallory and Dave said I do on a perfect sunny southern California day!

We are so thrilled to have been a art of their beautiful destination wedding - congrats you two!

Read MoreCan ALL weddings be in Italy pleaseeee?? I don’t even know where to begin with Ellie and Justin’s fairytale wedding in the Umbrian countryside of Italy. The weather was absolutely perfect and every enchanting corner of Castello di Rosciano was sensory heaven! Ellie and Justin treated their guests to a multi-day celebration in Italy but the wedding day was the cherry on top! Storybook Weddings planned every moment to perfection and we were lucky enough to be chosen to capture this extraordinary wedding. E & J thought through every detail, from the insane aperitif spread to the lavender toss! We did not waste anytime exploring the countryside and taking portraits in every picturesque location we could find! My personal favorite was the tree lined road which yelled ITALY in every beautiful sense of the word! I could go on and on about this wedding but will have to wait to show you more coming soon to a fabulous publication! Thank you Ellie and Justin for choosing Bonphotage to capture your day - it was a dream come true!

Read MoreThere's nothing quite as romantic as the ever-restless sea... the tides, the shifting sands, the delivery of unmatched sunset backdrops. Maybe it's why many of us look to the ocean to celebrate love. Stacey and Reed chose Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for their idyllic location and what a dream wedding it was!
Stacey looked absolutely stunning in her Hayley Paige gown and Reed’s expression during their first look and when she came down the aisle said it all! We are so honored to have photographed their beautiful day in the Dominican and we hope you enjoy this beautiful sneak peek as much as we do!

We didn’t think twice about flying out to Houston for their fairytale wedding! Chelsea looked absolutely stunning in her Pallas Couture gown and every detail was carefully thought out, from her Tom Ford heels to matching YSL clutch. Surrounded by friends and family, Nick and Chelsea said “I do” before partying well into the night! Just look at that cake!!

Read MoreIt is always such an honor to see our film photography work published in prestigious magazines! We are so thrilled to finally share this gorgeous bridal editorial which took place at Shore Club Chicago, with some of the most talented vendors in the business!
From Trendy Bride Magazine, "While Chicago is well known for it's glorious skyline, it is often overlooked for it's equally beautiful shoreline. With this inspiration shoot, Storybook Weddings wanted to showcase the fact that midwestern brides need not hop a flight to CA to dig their toes in the sand on their wedding day! The Shore Club, perfectly situated along Lakeshore Avenue, made the perfect venue!"

Read MoreAmie and Ben's wedding was one for the books! This stunning couple flew from their home in New York City to the bride's hometown of Dallas, Texas to tie the knot and we couldn't be happier to have been a part of it! This couple was surrounded by so much love all day and their ceremony was just about the sweetest we've ever seen. The sun starting to set behind them as they exchanged vows was just the icing on the cake! Guests smiled, laughed, enjoyed some real Texas bbq under beautiful strands of twinkle lights hung from the ceiling at historic Winfrey Point. The couple had a pubic first dance in front of their loved ones and ended with the night with their own private last dance. A perfect end to a perfect evening!
Read MoreBermuda is an undeniably idyllic place that simply makes my heart happy! The colors on the island are a feast for the eyes (and the film photographer!) The pastel colored buildings in shades of pink and yellow, the lush cliffs overlooking the crashing over the crystal clear turquoise waters below; there is nothing more serene and peaceful. Add to this scene a stunning luxury resort, the Princess Hamilton, the sweetest couple and gorgeous florals - and MAGIC! I am so excited to share a sneak peek of Carole + Shameeke's wedding weekend, planned perfectly by Jo Ann Gregoli and captured by yours truly, Bonphotage.
Enjoy and congratulations you two!

Read MoreOur travel schedule at Bonphotage has been a little crazy this year but trust us, we are not mad at all. We have traveled far and wide this year to capture love, including to France, Italy, Hawaii and most recently, Puerto Rico! When Jennifer called us explaining that she wanted us to capture her romantic elopement at the gorgeous St. Regis Bahia Beach resort in Old San Juan, we were more than happy to oblige! We spent the day hitting the best spots in San Juan, including old cathedrals, historic landmarks, pastel colored buildings on the water and other dreamy locations - and this magic (on film!) is what resulted! Congratulations you two and thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your special day!

Read MoreWeddings like Chelsea + David's at the Green Turtle Bay Resort in Kentucky are the reason why we LOVE destination weddings! Surrounded by picturesque nature and their closest family and friends, C + D said "I do" in one of the most heartfelt ceremonies I have had the pleasure of witnessing. Let's just say, more than a couple tears were shed! Not to mention, an absolutely stunning braid and dapper groom!
I can't get enough of their film scans and am so happy for these two and all the future holds for them!

Read MoreI really try not to play favorites with our couples, but it was so hard not to love every moment we spent photographing Ashley and Brian's wedding in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Let's start with the absolutely stunning setting at the Park Vista Hotel, overlooking the vast Smoky Mountain National Park, on a perfectly sunny summer day. The view alone was enough to make us never want to leave. Add to that, a couple so in love, that they actually didn't need any guidance at all for posing - all of those incredibly intimate moments you see on this blog? Those are just them, being themselves (can anybody say "CHEMISTRY?!")
Their first look took place on the edge of a cliff where Brian took a moment to take in the scenery and reflect on his upcoming nuptials. When Ashley approached and he took a look at his beautiful bride, the tears began (for ALL of us!) It was impossible not to feel the incredible love between them! The day then continued with a ceremony overlooking the vast nature and an al-fresco dinner filled with so many laughs and love (and the cutest kiddos!)
We are honored to have been a small part of their wedding day and so excited to share a sneak peek! Congratulations you two!
