Bonphotage Destination Luxury Wedding Photography and Videography - 15 Reasons Why Film Editorial Photography Makes Your Wedding Memories Timeless!

1. Capturing Emotions in Every Shot with Film Photography!

Editorial photography has a magical way of freezing emotions in time, allowing you to relive those heartfelt moments every time you glance at a photograph. Whether it's the tear of joy in your partner's eye as they say their vows or the laughter shared during your first dance, editorial photography captures the essence of your special day. Film photography enhances this experience, lending a timeless quality to each image. The rich textures and delicate grain of film create a nostalgic feel that digital images often struggle to replicate, making your memories even more vivid and cherished.

Each click of the camera serves as a snapshot of pure emotion, creating a treasure trove of memories that you can cherish for a lifetime. These images don't just freeze a moment; they encapsulate the love, happiness, and excitement felt on your wedding day, ensuring those feelings are never forgotten.

Through the lens of an editorial photographer, even the subtlest gestures and expressions become profound visual tales. Every smile, every embrace, and every glance conveys a story waiting to be told, adding depth and authenticity to your wedding album.

Bonphotage Chicago Fine Art Film Photography and Videography - Armour House - Natalie & Alex

OMGGGG where do we even begin?? How do we describe how beautiful/magical/wonderful Natalie and Alex’s day was??? First off, we were at our favorite venue Armour House and the fall leaves were peaking and the weather was perfectly crisp. Already, the scene was set. Natalie was an actual dream of a bride: beautiful, sweet, fun, and game for anything. Alex was her perfect counterpart and compliment. We had so much time to create and tell the story of their day. Portrait time, bridal party time, couple portrait time- we spent the whole day laughing. We just clicked and fed off each other’s joy and excitement in a feedback loop of love and happiness.

Their ceremony was short and sweet and we stole away for a few sunset photos (even though the sun was behind the clouds lol) and then their party raged into the night with the best DJ, I legit thought I was at a club. With an epic dress change and a turn playing DJ, we left these two surrounded by their closest friends and family, singing and dancing the night away. Our hearts are so full, what an absolute perfect way to end our Fall wedding season!! Congratulations Natalie and Alex!!

Bonphotage Chicago Wedding Photography and Videography - Chicago Cultural Center - Sophia and Chris

Where do we start with these two?? How about the fact that when walked in the hotel room at the start of the day, we immediately felt like Sophia had been our bestie for years?? We were laughing and having fun from the start, and it’s a good thing too— because Friday the 13th tested us at every turn! Through every obstacle we faced: construction, traffic, rain, a bad tumble (thankfully everyone was okay!!), these two kept smiling and taking a step back to take in the big picture of their wedding day. We were so impressed by how they handled everything that came their way with grace and laughter, and kept the shining light of their love burning bright. It bodes well for their life together: they clearly will be tackling everything as a team. Which is what marriage is all about.

So now, let’s enjoy every dreamy detail from their wedding day, from her couture Ines de Santo gown to the understated baby breath bouquet. Actual perfection. Dining and dancing under the dome at the Chicago Cultural Center is a dream. Every inch of that space is perfect. Also they win for best choreographed dance of the year, hands down. Congratulations Sophia and Chris, we love you guys and cherish every second we spent together!!
