Bonphotage Chicago Wedding Photography- Grace + Nick

It is hard to deny the chemistry which is so clearly visible in these images between Grace and Nick! When Grace called me inquiring about wedding photography and explained that she and Nick loved Chicago and wanted to have a simple wedding celebration surrounded by their daily friends at Nick's family's restaurant in Andersonville, I knew this wedding would be special! On March 11, 2017, Bonphotage Associate Jessica, met Grace and Nick at their home for some getting ready photos (didn't Grace look stunning!) before heading out around town for playful photos in iconic Chicago locations. Next was the party at Calos Restaurant and as you can tell by the photos, it was all fun and laughter all night long!

Congratulations you two! Enjoy this sneak peek!

Bonphotage Fine Art Film Photography - Kristina, Kyle and Lou!

When Kristina called me explaining that she wanted to do a photoshoot as soon as possible because her pup was growing so quickly and she wanted to capture his puppy-hood, I was on board!

You would't even know from the photos and happy smiles that it was a FREEZING Chicago day - this is really what growing, sweet family photos are all about! Enjoy!

Bonphotage - Wild Flower-Inspired Bridal Portraits - Portland, Oregon

This stunning bridal editorial shoot was inspired by wild flowers and took place at the Grotto in Portland, Oregon. I was inspired by the different shades of green found in the woods and wanted to create an ethereal, woodsy atmosphere for the photoshoot. Using medium-format film photography and a Contax 645 camera and combine with the talent of some of Portland's best, my vision became a reality! 

The bride (model Jennelle Fedrizzi) wore two different looks by Sweet Caroline's, one with a black crop top and the other, a lace tattoo long sleeve beauty. Hair and makeup was natural and flowy by Glam Girl Designs owner Jenny Kerr. The shoot was featured on November 28, 2016 on Adorn Magazine and the full feature can be seen here - http://adornmagazine.com/wildflower-ethereal-bridal-portraits/. 

Enjoy!

Bonphotage Chicago Wedding Photography - Lindsey and Nick

I met Nick and Lindsey on a *freezing* Chicago day for their engagement photos. Despite the rigid temperatures, these two had a great attitude, posed beautifully for their session and their love shined through as though in the images as though it weren't horribly uncomfortable outside. From that moment on, I knew these two would be a joy to work with and I couldn't wait for their big day the following Autumn!

Their wedding was filled with happy smiles, sweet details - including an artist who sketched special moments at the wedding, and lots of dancing! I am so happy for them and hope you all enjoy this sneak peek! 

Special thanks to Madeline and Rachel for second shooting this beautiful day!

Bonphotage - Chicago Yacht Wedding Photography - Cat + Courtney

We are advocates for love. Plain and simple. And when I headed around town with Cat and Courtney for their Chicago engagement shoot, it was clear that real love is what I'd be capturing on their wedding day. Add to that the fact that their wedding was going to take place at the W Hotel with stunning views of Lake Michigan followed by the ceremony and reception on a yacht on Lake Michigan...umm count us in! 

Cat wore a stunning strapless satin gown and Courtney rocked a modern, jumper from Kleinfelds. The ladies wore fabulous Bagdley Mischka heels and Cat carried a bouquet of ranunculus, roses, hydrangeas and dusty millers. The couple's adorable chihuahua Brighton was in attendance, as were a sweet flower girl and ring bearer. 

The perfect evening ended in fireworks over Navy Pier, emotional and happy toasts and Cat even serenaded Courtney with a ballad she had sung to her early in their relationship! #cgcdlove for sure!

The weather and light couldn't have been more beautiful for their wedding day and the happiness and joy from their family and friends who traveled from across the country was truly one for the record books! 

We are honored to have photographed and videotaped their special day and hope you enjoy this beautiful sneak peek! Congratulations you two!

Bonphotage - Caitlin + Dennis - Intercontinental Hotel Chicago

Caitlin looked absolutely radiant as she walked down to the aisle to meet her soon-to-be husband Dennis! Caitlin was dressed in a lace, mermaid style, strapless gown while her bridesmaids wore navy blue gowns. Mother's of the bride and groom wore royal blue and purple and these rich jewel tones played across other details of the wedding as well, including the beautiful florals. 

The couple was married surrounded by their family and friends in their hometown church. They then took a limo (where the party definitely began!) on the way to the Grand Ballroom at the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Chicago. Tears were shed, laughs were had and dancing continued into the night!

Congratulations Caitlin and Dennis - we are honored to have captured photos and video of your cherished day!

Bonphotage - Little Goat Chicago Bridal Shower
Bonphotage Wedding Photography - Trump Hotel + Galleria Marchetti

Sometimes I have the pleasure of arriving at a wedding and finding a truly magical, fairy tale like scene. From the beautiful lilac colored dress, soft pastel flower palette by Fragrant Design, Badgley Mischka jewel encrusted heels, elaborate flower arch in the garden ceremony and stunning chandelier-draped tent, no detail was forgotten.

Erin and John (real life Barbie and Ken, no really though) looked fabulous at their Trump Hotel Chicago and Galleria Marchetti wedding and their love was obvious to everyone! The wedding even included live ballads by legendary Chicago singer, John Vincent, and Erin's dad rocked the crowd with his signature Wooly Bully dance!

We feel absolutely blessed to capture both photography and videography at such beautiful events. Enjoy this sneak peek (sneak peek video coming soon!)

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!

Bonphotage - French Light Portrait Photography

There is something truly magical about the light in France. Not only does the light continue late into the evening, but it is almost as if the light is perfectly diffused (a photographer's dream!). During my latest European trip, I had the opportunity to take portraits for talented journalist for the Daily Beast, Erin Zaleski. I am obsessing over the beautiful light in the photos, I hope you enjoy them just as much!
