Read MoreI 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.

This lovely couple is proudly serving our country abroad and when Ellen asked if I could capture their engagement during the few days they would be in Chicago, I was more than honored to do so!
