Bonphotage Fine Art Film Wedding Photography - Chicago Illuminating Company - Bailey & David

I had been looking forward to Bailey and David’s wedding from the moment they booked with me years ago!

Bonphotage Wedding Photography - Chicago Cultural Center + The Gage - Adina + Elias

Adina and Elias tied the knot yesterday at the iconic Chicago Cultural Center under the stunning stained glass Tiffany's dome! Adina wore a minimal, modern white dress with an open back that was *to die for* and carried an all-white rose bouquet.

After 8 years of dating, this couple was so ready to say yes to spending their lives together and I can't think of a better location than the stunning cultural center. The love between this sweet couple was undeniable and it was truly an honor to capture their special day!

After saying "I do," we headed over to Millennium Park where lots of laughs were had before continuing the party at Michigan Avenue's The Gage Restaurant!

Enjoy this sneak peek and congratulations you two!

Bonphotage - Chicago Engagement Photography - Dana + Shaun

September is my favorite month. The weather and *incredible* light during Dana and Shaun's Chicago engagement session reminded me why I am such a lover of Autumn. A perfect 75 degree day, with to-die-for golden hour light, and the chemistry between these two made for one of my favorite engagement shoots ever!

Dana and Shaun are tying the knot in North Carolina next year and we couldn't be happier for them!

Enjoy this sneak peek!

Bonphotage - Chicago Engagement Photography - Laura and Eric

Sometimes I like to help pose my clients and then click the camera right at that split moment between poses when they relax and those genuine, natural smiles come out. Laura and Eric are OBVIOUSLY incredibly photogenic (#bonphotagebridesarethehottest) but I could tell these two were at their best when they were just being themselves, so candid was the goal...and...MAGIC!

SO many sweet smiles during this engagement shoot at the Art Institute in Chicago. I can't wait for these two to tie the knot next summer!

Enjoy this sneak peek..congrats you two!

Bonphotage - Surprise Proposal - Peninsula Hotel Chicago - Dean + Paige

Dean was so sweet when he called and asked us to capture his proposal to his girlfriend of five years, Paige!

A true romantic, Dean did not skimp on a single detail..we're talking..taking Paige shopping on Michigan Avenue during the day and buying her a gorgeous dress and Valentino heels, privatizing the roof deck of the Peninsula hotel in downtown Chicago, hiring the unbelievably talented Kehoe designs (rose petals, moss wall - the real deal!) and then surprising his love with a STUNNING engagement ring!

The whole scene was something dreams are made of and we are honored to have captured their beautiful day!

Congratulations Dean + Paige! xo, Bonphotage
