Bonphotage Cafe + Cupcake Engagement Photography - Ellen + Owen

When an engagement session involves cupcakes, lattes, books and Chicago - I am a happy photographer! 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! They had a great time smiling for the camera at Milton Lee Olive Park, with incredible skyline views, but when the weather got to be too cold, we found the perfect cupcake shop...and the cutest photos resulted! 

Congrats you two and thank you for your service to our great country!

It is hard to believe it is November in Chicago. The sun is still shining, the weather is a perfect 70 degrees and the Autumn colors show no signs of stopping.

Bonphotage Chicago Wedding Photography - Lindsey and Nick

I met Nick and Lindsey on a *freezing* Chicago day for their engagement photos. Despite the rigid temperatures, these two had a great attitude, posed beautifully for their session and their love shined through as though in the images as though it weren't horribly uncomfortable outside. From that moment on, I knew these two would be a joy to work with and I couldn't wait for their big day the following Autumn!

Their wedding was filled with happy smiles, sweet details - including an artist who sketched special moments at the wedding, and lots of dancing! I am so happy for them and hope you all enjoy this sneak peek! 

Special thanks to Madeline and Rachel for second shooting this beautiful day!

Bonphotage California Wedding Photography - Clarke Estate - Rob + Ciarra

I wanted to wait to receive the film scans from this *stunning* California wedding, but I simply could not wait another minute! When I took Ciarra and Rob's engagement photos last year in Chicago and heard about their plans to be married in an intimate wedding at the beautiful Clarke Estate in southern California, I knew I had to capture their special day! 

Surrounded by family and friends, Ciarra walked down the aisle in the courtyard of the Clarke Estate with a stunning organic backdrop of dahlias and hydrangeas! And Rob's face when he saw his gorgeous bride...priceless! As a photographer, I love capturing real, authentic emotion and this wedding was full of it! Happy tears, emotional speeches and genuine love was everywhere and I am so honored to share a sneak peek of their most precious day!

Congratulations Rob and Ciarra - may you continue to forever share the love that is so evident between you!
