Bonphotage - Destination Wedding Photography - Meghan + Tim

I am still swooning over Meghan and Tim's *gorgeous* Kansas wedding! These college sweethearts met at the University of Kansas eight years ago and they have never looked back! It was only fitting to have their wedding in the town of Lawrence, Kansas, where they first met. And boy, what a wedding it was...!

Complete with six (count it...SIX wedding cakes), a bagpipe processional, a full jazz band, a sunflower garden (*my heart*), and the sweetest little flower girls you ever did see, this day was fitting of a very deserving couple! P.S. did I mention how much I love the color red in photos?I

Congratulations you two - enjoy this sneak peek and thank you for choosing Bonphotage to document your love story! We couldn't be more honored to have been a part of your beautiful day :)

Bonphotage - Congress Hotel Wedding Photography - Carolina + Jeff

Carolina and Jeff tied the knot yesterday in a luxurious, European-inspired grand ballroom at the Congress Hotel in downtown Chicago!

Carolina was a beautiful vision in her mermaid silhouette, lace wedding gown and gold sparkly heels. Her best ladies wore violet colored chiffon bridesmaids gowns in alternating styles. No detail was overlooked including the brides photo of her grandfather kept in a locket around her bouquet *tear*

At several points during their wedding, I actually had to hold in the emotion myself, including when she and her father both shed a tear during the father daughter dance and when the groom's brother told the most hilarious stories during the best man speech! 

This sneak peek tells a small part of the romantic imagery and love that was at play throughout the day. It was an honor to capture your wedding Carolina and Jeff - thank you for letting Bonphotage be a part of your important day!

Special thanks to Cody for fabulously second-shooting and to Mark for cinematic capture of the day.

Adina and Elias tied the knot yesterday at the iconic Chicago Cultural Center under the stunning stained glass Tiffany's dome! Adina wore a minimal, modern white dress with an open back that was *to die for* and carried an all-white rose bouquet.

After saying "I do," we headed over to Millennium Park where lots of laughs were had before continuing the party at Michigan Avenue's The Gage Restaurant!

September is my favorite month. The weather and *incredible* light during Dana and Shaun's Chicago engagement session reminded me why I am such a lover of Autumn.

Dean was so sweet when he called and asked us to capture his proposal to his girlfriend of five years, Paige! 

A true romantic, Dean did not skimp on a single detail..we're talking..taking Paige shopping on Michigan Avenue during the day and buying her a gorgeous dress and Valentino heels, privatizing the roof deck of the Peninsula hotel in downtown Chicago, hiring the unbelievably talented Kehoe designs (rose petals, moss wall - the real deal!) and then surprising his love with a STUNNING engagement ring! 

The whole scene was something dreams are made of and we are honored to have captured their beautiful day!
