Read MoreTiffany and Pace were lucky enough to celebrate their wedding on two separate days and we were even luckier to capture both special days! Tiffany and Pace had a small, intimate ceremony overlooking the Chicago skyline and despite the rainfall, these lovebirds kept a positive attitude!

Read MoreYou’ve heard us say that the Drake Hotel is one of our favorite Chicago wedding venues, with it’s grand ballroom and regal setting. Yet somehow, every time we shoot a wedding there, it just keeps getting better and better! Jeannie wore not one, but two wedding gowns and their adorable dog Murphy even made a few appearances! The weather was absolutely perfect for portraits at North Avenue beach with beautiful skyline views (and the Drake) in the background!

Read MoreSometimes you just need to put a beautiful bride in a yellow vintage truck, surround her by lemons and vines and bring Palm Springs feels to Chicago! While we LOVE our real weddings, there is something to be said for feeding your creativity and playing with lighting and texture. When Flowers for Dreams asked us to capture a vibrant, colorful editorial for the main feature in One Fourth Magazine, it was a no-brainer!
The concept was brilliantly created by Unadorned Magazine and took place at Architectural Artifacts in Chicago's trendy West Loop. Pineapples and citrus adorned the gold cart and vintage couch from Bowery and Bash. We played with shooting film in the dark, lighting techniques and enough florals to keep us swooning for weeks after!
See more from this incredible shoot here and in the recent print issue of One Fourth Mag. Scroll down to see incredible Bonphotage Videography of the whole editorial!

Special thank you to Bonphotage Associates Rachel and Madeline for beautifully capturing the day.
Read MorePeople often ask me why I shoot film. "Isn't it expensive," they ask? "No one does that anymore." "Why not digital?" And then....I receive scans that look like this - forward it on to them....and "oooohhhhh," they say, "I get it now."
Kiki and Chris - you are a gorgeous couple and we are thrilled to share a sneak peek of your most special day. Thank you for inviting us all the way to St. Joseph, Michigan to capture your perfect day - it was an honor!
