Bonphotage Fine Art Wedding Photography - Westmoreland Country Club - Lauren + Jack

I had to pause for a second when I walked into Lauren + Jack's reception area - it was stunning! Their wedding took place at the Westmoreland Country Club in Glenview, Illinois and it was truly a scene from a fairy tale! From the sweet first look with her bridesmaids, to Lauren's gorgeous gown from Mira Couture, to the best man's emotional speech, to the tented reception adorned in ivy, it was just dreammmyyy! I am so excited to share a sneak peek of their perfect day!

Congrats you two!

Bonphotage Fine Art Destination Wedding Photography - Veranda at Whitcomb St. Joseph, Michigan - Chris + Kiki

People often ask me why I shoot film. "Isn't it expensive," they ask? "No one does that anymore." "Why not digital?" And then....I receive scans that look like this - forward it on to them....and "oooohhhhh," they say, "I get it now." 

Kiki and Chris - you are a gorgeous couple and we are thrilled to share a sneak peek of your most special day. Thank you for inviting us all the way to St. Joseph, Michigan to capture your perfect day - it was an honor!

Bonphotage Fine Art Wedding Photography - Ravisloe Country Club - Marisa + Brett

It is fair to say that I have a thing for ivy-covered architectural structures, so when I saw the beautiful film scans from Marissa and Brett's Ravisloe Country Club wedding, you could say I was on cloud 9! This picturesque venue made the perfect backdrop for M + B's outdoor ceremony. Around the corner from the ceremony space, lavender and roses were in full bloom - the whole scene was breathtaking! 

Thank you Rachel and Jordan for fabulously capturing every detail of their big day! Congrats Marisa and Brett - enjoy this sneak peek!

Bonphotage Fine Art Wedding Photography - Gallery 1028 - Megan + Kiril

Some weddings just leave you speechless. The emotion, the love, the happy tears...Megan and Kiril's wedding was one of those. The whole day was executed to perfection by Lola Events and no detail was overlooked. Megan started her day at the Public Hotel where Sonia Roselli Beauty beautifully applied makeup for her and her best girls. Laughs, champagne and CARTIER followed (yes, Megan was lucky enough to open the most stunning Cartier bracelet from her love!) 

Kirin and Megan saw each other for the first time when she walked down the aisle at Gallery 1028. Megan looked absolutely radiant in her Sarah Seven gown! The party continued well into the night with dancing and fun for all! 

Congratulations you two and thank you for letting us be a small part of your beautiful day!

Bonphotage Fine Art Wedding Photography - Amanda + Jason

Amanda and Jason's modern wedding at the Ravenswood Event Center was one for the record books! Starting with her gorgeous bouquet in bright colors, to the perfectly styled reception, not a single detail was forgotten!

Aside from the cute umbrella photos, you'd never know it was a rainy day on Adrienne and Phil's wedding day. Adrienne looked stunning in her gown from Alice in Ivory and the violet and lilac bridesmaids dresses made for the most beautiful color scheme!  The bridesmaids wore purple bracelets to match their dresses, gifted to them from the bride. 

After leaving the Westin, the bridal party headed to Union Station for classic Chicago portraits. After a beautiful ceremony, the party continued to Lincoln Park's Cafe Brauer where lots of laughs and dancing kept on through the night!

Bonphotage Chicago Fine Art Engagement Photography - Carolyn + Justin

Thinking back on Carolyn and Justin's engagement session just makes me smile, plain and simple! This jet-setting couple had just returned to Chicago from a trip to France when we headed to Millennium Park to capture their engagement photos. Lurie Garden was in full bloom with tulips in shades of pink and orange - the perfect backdrop for a Spring engagement session! After frolicking in the sun for a bit, we headed to the Art Institute garden to snap a few more pretties on film. 

We can't wait for their Lake Geneva wedding this year! Enjoy this sneak peek and congrats you two!

Bonphotage Fine Art Wedding Photography - Warwick Allerton Hotel - Erin & Rick

There were so many wonderful reasons to smile on Erin and Rick's wedding day of April 22, 2017! The sun was shining, champagne was flowing and joy was everywhere! Erin started her day getting ready in the beautifully lit bridal suite at the Warwick Allerton Hotel in the heart of downtown Chicago. Her bridesmaids wore pretty floral robes and Erin was sweet enough to gift them a pair of Kate Spade sunnies and sparkly Kate Spade flats to slip into for dancing later in the evening. After putting on her gown, a blindfolded Rick met her in the ballroom where the pair sat back to back, held hands for a moment and exchanged gifts. This moment was one of my favorites ever! After saying their vows in Lincoln Park's St. Clementine's Church, the party moved back to the Allerton where fun was had by all - well into the night! 

We are honored to have been a small part of their beautiful wedding day and hope you enjoy this sneak peek you two!
