Bonphotage Wedding Photography - James + Sarah!

James and Sarah tied the knot this weekend in a picturesque setting complete with horse racing and a string quartet! Sarah and James started their day with a beautiful ceremony overlooking the sprawling Arlington International Racetrack on a sunny Chicago Saturday. The party then moved inside where Sarah had carefully placed sweet photos of the couple throughout the sun-drenched reception hall. Thoughtful touches permeated the wedding, including table settings with photos of the couple's favorite Chicago locations, pink and yellow mimosas, and tear-jerking speeches. 

We were honored to capture their special day! Congratulations on your next chapter James + Sarah!
