2018 - Best of Bonphotage Weddings

Hard to believe another incredible wedding season has come to an end! 2018 blew us away, with 102 weddings, 120 engagements, 11 anniversaries and countless family sessions. We had the privilege of photographing weddings and engagements around the country and world and while we wish we could share every single wedding, we narrowed down to some of the most beautiful and memorable moments from our 2018 season. Just a few of the bucket list venues we got to shoot in were Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum, Rookery Building, Chicago History Museum, Haley Mansion, Fairmont Banff, Bayou Oaks Plantation, Blackstone Hotel, Drake Hotel, Claxton Farms, San Francisco Mint, Balboa Bay Beach Club and Chateau Cocomar. Enjoy!

Bonphotage Fine Art Destination Wedding Photography - Chateau Cocomar - Chelsea & Nick

Rarely do you meet two people so beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside. I had the pleasure of meeting Chelsea years ago when she modeled for an editorial I was shooting in LA and I was honored when she reached out about capturing her wedding at Chateau Cocomar!

We didn’t think twice about flying out to Houston for their fairytale wedding! Chelsea looked absolutely stunning in her Pallas Couture gown and every detail was carefully thought out, from her Tom Ford heels to matching YSL clutch. Surrounded by friends and family, Nick and Chelsea said “I do” before partying well into the night! Just look at that cake!!

We are absolutely swooning over their beautiful images and we are so excited to share a sneak peek into their perfect day!

Bonphotage Destination Fine Art Wedding Photography - Claxton Farms - Asheville, NC - Julia & Kevin

Julia and Kevin’s wedding was one of the most beautiful weddings we’ve had the pleasure of capturing! Bonphotage photographer Serena didn’t think twice about flying to North Carolina to capture their day - after all, destination weddings are what we love most! The day started exploring the beautiful grounds of the Biltmore Estate before heading to Claxton Farms for the rest of the party! We are so excited to share a sneak peek of their perfect day!

Bonphotage Fine Art New Orleans Wedding Photography - Bayou Oaks Plantation, New Orleans, LA - Katharin & Scott

You guys....ALL THE HEART EYES!!! My jaw dropped when I pulled up to the Bayou Oaks Plantation in New Orleans. The picturesque estate was straight out of a fairy tale! But the gorgeous setting was just the tip of the iceberg of Katie & Scott's DREAM wedding! Everything from Katie's stunning gown (which she helped hand-stitch!) to their beautifully choreographed first dance to the sweet moment when their daughter Kamala gave Katie away at the ceremony - it was the stuff dreams are made of! The masquerade-themed wedding included masks for the bridal party and all kinds of New Orleans special touches like French crepes and a crawfish boil! The party went well into the night and we just can't stop swooning over these images! Congrats you two and enjoy this sneak peek!

Bonphotage Fine Art Destination Wedding Photography - Bermuda Hamilton Princess - Carole + Shameeke

Bermuda is an undeniably idyllic place that simply makes my heart happy! The colors on the island are a feast for the eyes (and the film photographer!) The pastel colored buildings in shades of pink and yellow, the lush cliffs overlooking the crashing over the crystal clear turquoise waters below; there is nothing more serene and peaceful. Add to this scene a stunning luxury resort, the Princess Hamilton, the sweetest couple and gorgeous florals - and MAGIC! I am so excited to share a sneak peek of Carole + Shameeke's wedding weekend, planned perfectly by Jo Ann Gregoli and captured by yours truly, Bonphotage. 

Enjoy and congratulations you two!

Bonphotage Fine Art Wedding Photography - Sarah and Danny

Danny and Sarah tied the knot on February 25, 2017 in the winter wonderland of Chicago! Their elegant affair included a classic black, white and red color pallette and endless emotional moments. Sarah got ready surrounded by her family and friends at her family home. Lots of laughter and tears were shed when she opened a heartfelt note from her love, Danny (and the pearl earrings that followed!) Their ceremony took place at their family's church in their hometown of Tinley Park, Illinois and the reception at Parmesan's station. A true ode to their beloved Chicago, this couple didn't want to steer too far from their roots and as you can see in their beautiful images, it was a good decision! 

Congratulations you two! We are honored to have been a small part of your special day and hope you enjoy this sneak peek!

Bonphotage Fine Art Film Photography - Jenni + Ryan's Hawaii Engagement Session

When Jenni emailed me asking to capture her engagement photos in Hawaii, I was obviously so excited! This jet-setting couple loves the water and thought the big island of Hawaii would make for a perfect backdrop for their engagement session! We had a great time romping around the beach at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai and I am so pleased with how beautifully their film images came out! 

Congratulations you two - we can't wait for your big day!

Bonphotage Michigan Wedding Photography - Maheen + Adil

The biggest lesson I have learned as a wedding photographer is that humans are so much more alike than they are different. Every human, no matter race, religion, or ethnicity, wants to love and be loved. Every human wants to share special moments with family and loved ones. Having the honor of photographing beautiful weddings around the world of Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu and non-religious couples reconfirms these truths time and time again. I am blessed to witness the warmth of love and compassion between humans of all kinds on such an intimate and beautiful day - the wedding day. 

I have photographed MANY weddings and have seen a lot of beautiful ceremonies and receptions, but there are very few that literally stop me in my tracks. As I entered Maheen and Adil's reception ballroom at the historic Dearborn Inn in Michigan, my jaw literally dropped. The elegant space was beautifully adorned with chiffon drapery and raised, enormous hydrangea floral arrangements. Cherry blossoms were beautifully placed between the florals. 

No detail was spared - from the brides (two pairs) of Bagdley Mischka heels, to her jewelry which belonged to her grandmother, the day(s) were beyond stunning! One the first day of celebrations, the bride wore gold and ivory, with a gorgeous veil dreams are made of. On the second day, she wore ruby and gold and her happiness was contagious! The food was truly a cut-above and included a warm donut stand and desserts for days. 

We are so blessed to capture the happiest day of people's lives and are so thankful to be graciously included by the family and friends of our lovely couples. Thank you Maheen and Adil for allowing us to capture your most precious and beautiful day! Enjoy this sneak peek!

(special thanks to Cody for beautifully second-shooting and Mark for video!)

Bonphotage Engagement Photography - Tricia + Chris

It is hard to believe it is November in Chicago. The sun is still shining, the weather is a perfect 70 degrees and the Autumn colors show no signs of stopping. This perfect backdrop was ideal to showcase the love between Tricia and Chris! This down to earth dup had a great time taking in the orange and yellow hues at Milton Lee Olive Park and even digging their toes in the sand for some beachside golden hour goodness! 

Tricia and Chris are tying the knot next year at Galleria Marchetti (one of our favorite Chicago venues) and we cannot wait to capture all the beauty of their big day!

Congrats you two! Enjoy this sneak peek!

Bonphotage - Paris Engagement Session!

Paris is the city of love! Between the impeccable Parisian architecture, pristine gardens and rich artistic and historical culture, the romance is everywhere. Add a stunning Giorgio Armani red dress and the sweetest couple (that flew all the way from China for their Paris engagement photos!), and I am left swooning! 

Most of the engagement session took place on Pont Neuf, one of the most stunning spots in Paris with gold statutes, beautiful lines and of course, the Eiffel Tower in the background. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful engagement session and am over the moon happy for this lovely duo! xo, Bonphotage
