Bonphotage Chicago Film Wedding Photography, Videography and Content Creation - Armour House - Harriet & Justin

There are weddings that make a lasting impression, and then there are weddings like Harriet and Justin's — a flawless blend of romance, elegance, and timeless beauty! Set against the backdrop of the breathtaking Armour House in Lake Forest, Illinois, their fall wedding captured the essence of romance, with a hint of cinematic magic, thanks to the soft, nostalgic beauty of film photography.

The Armour House, a grand estate with its ivy-clad exterior and classic architecture, was the ideal setting for their sophisticated affair. The house, nestled among meticulously landscaped gardens, was a sight to behold, enhanced by the seasonal beauty of fall. The venue exuded romance at every turn, from the winding pathways leading to the entrance to the sweeping staircase that would play such a pivotal role in this unforgettable day.

From the moment Harriet arrived in her gown, it was clear that every detail of this wedding had been thoughtfully considered. Harriet looked radiant! Justin, too, was the epitome of elegance in a classic tuxedo, his joy at marrying the woman of his dreams radiating through his smile (and joyful tears!)

Their private vow reading and ceremony was an emotional one, filled with heartfelt moments and tender exchanges, the kind that make you believe in love at first sight.

Bonphotage photographers Brit and Jasmine did an incredible job capturing these intimate, cinematic moments with film photography. There’s something about the grainy, textured quality of film that brings a level of depth and emotion to a photograph, making it feel like a captured memory rather than just an image. The natural light of the day, combined with the film’s nostalgic quality, created images that seemed to have a story all their own!

From candid moments of joy to quiet glances shared between the couple, the analog photography preserved the essence of their love in such a tangible, beautiful way. Each photo seemed to capture more than just an event — it told a story. The soft tones, the romantic lighting, and the genuine emotion conveyed in every shot made Harriet and Justin's wedding feel like it was lifted from the pages of a fairy tale.

Harriet and Justin’s wedding was a perfect reflection of their love — classic, elegant, and timeless. From the stunning Armour House to the delicate details, every moment was steeped in romance and beauty. The combination of a perfect fall day, the grandeur of the venue, and the vintage charm of film photography made this wedding an unforgettable celebration of love. It was a day to remember, a day captured in time, a day that will live forever in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to witness it!

Congrats you two!

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!

Bonphotage Chicago Fine Art Film Photography and Videography - Armour House - Natalie & Alex

OMGGGG where do we even begin?? How do we describe how beautiful/magical/wonderful Natalie and Alex’s day was??? First off, we were at our favorite venue Armour House and the fall leaves were peaking and the weather was perfectly crisp. Already, the scene was set. Natalie was an actual dream of a bride: beautiful, sweet, fun, and game for anything. Alex was her perfect counterpart and compliment. We had so much time to create and tell the story of their day. Portrait time, bridal party time, couple portrait time- we spent the whole day laughing. We just clicked and fed off each other’s joy and excitement in a feedback loop of love and happiness.

Their ceremony was short and sweet and we stole away for a few sunset photos (even though the sun was behind the clouds lol) and then their party raged into the night with the best DJ, I legit thought I was at a club. With an epic dress change and a turn playing DJ, we left these two surrounded by their closest friends and family, singing and dancing the night away. Our hearts are so full, what an absolute perfect way to end our Fall wedding season!! Congratulations Natalie and Alex!!
