Bonphotage Fine Art Bridal Wedding Photography - Editorial Published in One Fourth Magazine

Sometimes 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!

Bonphotage Fine Art Wedding Photography - Shore Club Chicago Editorial - Published on Trendy Bride Magazine

It is always such an honor to see our film photography work published in prestigious magazines! We are so thrilled to finally share this gorgeous bridal editorial which took place at Shore Club Chicago, with some of the most talented vendors in the business! 

From Trendy Bride Magazine, "While Chicago is well known for it's glorious skyline, it is often overlooked for it's equally beautiful shoreline. With this inspiration shoot, Storybook Weddings wanted to showcase the fact that midwestern brides need not hop a flight to CA to dig their toes in the sand on their wedding day! The Shore Club, perfectly situated along Lakeshore Avenue, made the perfect venue!"

Bonphotage Fine Art Film Destination Wedding Photography - Chateau Bouthonvilliers France - Nicole + Tarik

I literally squealed when these film scans landed in my inbox. Quite possibly the most beautiful wedding we've had the privilege of covering, Nicole + Tarik's special day was nothing short of a dream! The ceremony took place by the chapel steps at the historic Chateau Bouthonvilliers in the French Countryside. It had been raining in the morning but the skies opened up with the perfect amount of sun and light breeze right before they said "I do" (a film photographer's dream!) The flowers from Floresie were out of this world (see her bouquet!!) and we absolutely cannot forget Nicole's blush Lazaro dress which literally stopped me in my tracks! Every detail was accounted for, from the oval emerald stunning engagement ring, to the hand calligraphed vow books to the studded louboutins, and all of it was perfectly executed by Mayra from The Event House.

Bonphotage Fine Art Film Chicago Engagement Photography - Bilu + Hao

I met with a couple interested in wedding photography today and I asked them what abut our photos made them reach out to us over all the other photographers. I expected to hear something like "we love film photography" or "we saw this photo in such and such magazine," but their answer caught me surprise. The bride-to-be said "I think what really drew me to your website was the fact that it looked like your couples were genuinely having a really fun time working with you!" I loved her answer, as obviously, aside from beautiful photography, that is our goal!

When Bilu + Hao's film scans came in today right after my meeting and I saw the laughter and unmistakable happiness, I realized she was right. We DO have so much fun with our clients! Maybe because they're *this* stinking cute??!! We love our jobs at Bonphotage. That is all.

Bonphotage - Paris France - Honeymoon Fine Art Photography - Meriam + Samer

This, my friends, is why I actually beam when people ask me if I like my job! Like? LOVE!! It isn't even the fact that I had the pleasure to photograph Meriam and Samer in the most beautiful city in the world (Paris!) - it is the fact that I have had the honor to capture Meriam and Samer's lifetime milestones on four separate occasions (engagement, bridal shower, wedding AND Paris honeymoon!) Nothing could be more fulfilling than practicing your passion, creating time pieces  people will cherish forever and establishing life long friendships along the way. It is truly a blessing. 

Thank you Meriam and Samer for the opportunity and now...bring on the cute babies so we can capture them too!!! 

All the love,  Bonphotage
