Aren’t these florals just everything?! We are loving the jewel tones Vickie chose for her winter wedding at Chicago’s Hotel Allegro! As if her stunning Galia Lahav wedding gown and cathedral veil wasn’t enough to woo her new husband, the beautiful bride wore not one, not two, but three beautiful gowns throughout the day! The whole day was filled with happy tears and laughter and made for the perfect wedding day. It was an honor being part of their special day - congratulations you two!

Bonphotage Fine Art Chicago Engagement Photography - Anne & Mike - Chicago Roofdeck Engagement

These lovebirds wanted a casual engagement session which reflected the life they love so very much together. So causal is what they got...kinda. Turns out their Chicago condo has the most incredible sweeping Chicago views - so of course, we needed to take advantage of those VIEWS! Add a little champagne bottle popping to the mix and the next thing we knew, we were galavanting around the city taking pretty photos on film in some of their favorite locations. I absolutely love the beautiful tones and LOVE captured in these images! 

Congrats you two and enjoy this sneak peek! We can't wait to capture your big day!

Bonphotage Fine Art San Francisco Engagement Photography - Nina & Sean

As a photographer, it is always such a compliment when I am hired by another photographer! I knew Nina and Sean's engagement session would be amazing when she suggested a destination engagement shoot in San Francisco where her fiance Sean had been living for the past few months. Our first stop was the Palace of Fine Arts which is even more impressive in person than in photos! Nina's dress perfectly complimented the setting and these two were so full of chemistry, it made my job a breeze! Our next stop was on the shore at golden hour with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background! Magical would be an understatement! 

Enjoy this sneak peek you two! We can't wait for your wedding day!

Bonphotage Fine Art Wedding Photography - Bridgeport Art Center - Ashley + Nate

Ashley and Nate tied the knot on March 11, 2017 at one of my favorite Chicago loft venus, the Bridgeport Art Center! In addition to boasting some of the most incredible skyline views in Chicago, the open sun-drenched floor plan, is a film photographer's dream!

Ashley and I became quick friends after she contacted me to photograph her wedding. Soon after, Ashley was deployed abroad and in addition to planning her wedding from a distance (with the help of talented Maria from Plum and Ivy!), Ashley had to wait many months before seeing her soon to be husband right before their wedding day. The positive side is that it made the sweet moment they reunited, all the better! 

Ashley looked radiant in a Victoria Sodukus gown while her bridesmaids donned navy blue floor length bridesmaid gowns. The succulents in her bridesmaids bouquets and decor were such a unique and beautiful choice! I especially loved the succulent escort cards, which were also gifts for the guests to take home. Guests dined on delicious appetizers and dinner, catered by Jewell Catering. 

It was a perfect wedding, filled with romance, emotion and beauty! Thank you for letting us be a small part of your special day and enjoy this sneak peek!

(special thanks to Bonphotage Associate Madeline for beautifully second shooting!)
