Bonphotage Fine Art Film Bridal Editorial - Published on Trendy Bride Magazine

I am SO excited to finally share this gorgeous bridal editorial recently published in Trendy Bride Magazine! 

I am so EXCITED to FINALLY share the images from a fine art bridal editorial featured in Trendy Bride Magazine! Photographed with a Contax 645 with medium format film, this ethereal shoot was photographed at both the Museum of Science and Industry and Room 1520, in Chicago's trendy West Loop neighborhood. 

From the Trendy Bride Feature, "For rustic minimalism, this styled shoot from Chicago, Illinois, incorporates just a few elements for a big impact, including peach blooms, a dream venue, and classic bridal style. With a whitewashed venue, it doesn’t take much to create a standout design. Neutral tones and a few romantic additions round out the look for a truly resplendent vibe.

The invitation suite is classic and simple. It features white parchment, cream-colored calligraphy and a personalized wax seal. The collection also includes the venue’s design."

Bonphotage - Beach Boudoir love!

When I spoke with Ashley, she told me she wanted to do something special for her fiancé. Being the incredible human that she is, and servicing our country, she knew she was being deployed and thought a boudoir album would be a nice gift for her fiancé to keep her close during her absence. We didn't know exactly what the boudoir would be like, be we knew we wanted it to be pretty and classy!

Using natural light on a gorgeous Chicago day, here are some of the stunning images that resulted! Enjoy :)
