Bonphotage Chicago Fine Art Photography & Videography - Emily & Jason - Westmoreland Country Club

From the moment we first chatted with Emily about her wedding vision, we knew this was going to be a wedding to remember! Most important to Emily was candid portraits of the people who came from far and wide to witness their nuptials and we could see why! There wasn’t a dry tear in the house when Jason’s mother announced that there was a new “Mrs. Trueblood in town!” Every detail was perfectly planned and executed, including Emily’s TWO beautiful bridal looks!

Best of 2022!

2022! What a year for weddings! As we do every year, we tried to round up the “BEST” of 2022 but what a challenge! We had the opportunity this past year to capture love across the globe - from Miami, to Beverly Hills, to Napa Valley, to the Amalfi Coast, to Paris, to the Santa Ynez Valley, to Michigan, to St. Louis and of course in our beloved Chicago! We wish we could share each and every one of the stunning weddings we captured but here is a small glimpse of the some of the magic!

We are forever grateful to do what we love and looking forward to an even more incredible 2023!
