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 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!

Leah and Kyle both grew up in Wauconda, Illinois and every location they chose for their engagement session has sentimental value. Starting with the ice skating rink they frequent, to the antique shop where Kyle's dad has been keeping his finds collected over a lifetime, to their wedding locations - amongst the pretty cattails in the background of their family's property! Cody, of Bonphotage Photography, had a fabulous time hanging out and exploring the area for their engagement session and we are seriously swooning over their pretty pics! That light! We can't wait for your big day - congrats you two!
