Read MoreMy jaw dropped when I walked in to Jamie and Jose's ceremony and reception space at the Chicago Illuminating Company! For starter's Jamie's stunning bouquet from Life in Bloom was so lush and beautiful and her open-back gown with dramatic train was what dreams are made of! In the ceremony space, large geometric chandeliers hung beautifully, filled with florals and the chuppah was adorned with greenery and vines. Bliss Weddings perfectly executed on the couple's vision and it was truly a photographer's dream! My favorite part of their day was the multi-cultural element - vows and speeches were spoken in both Spanish and English and it was a beautiful and personal element that really married not only the couple, but their families.
Congrats you two and enjoy this sneak peek!

I immediately liked these two - not only are they each impressive as individuals (at the time, Phil was attending Northwestern Law School and Selin was woking of her PhD thesis), but together, their kindness and tenderness towards each other was undeniable! Fast forward two years and I am catching a flight to Princeton, New Jersey, where Selin and Phil are tying the knot at an absolutely stunning venue! I could have never imagined how gorgeous their wedding would be...everything from the architectural detail, to the blooming wisteria to Selin's gorgeous peony bouquet, the day was straight out of a fairytale!

Read MoreSometimes you just need to put a beautiful bride in a yellow vintage truck, surround her by lemons and vines and bring Palm Springs feels to Chicago! While we LOVE our real weddings, there is something to be said for feeding your creativity and playing with lighting and texture. When Flowers for Dreams asked us to capture a vibrant, colorful editorial for the main feature in One Fourth Magazine, it was a no-brainer!
The concept was brilliantly created by Unadorned Magazine and took place at Architectural Artifacts in Chicago's trendy West Loop. Pineapples and citrus adorned the gold cart and vintage couch from Bowery and Bash. We played with shooting film in the dark, lighting techniques and enough florals to keep us swooning for weeks after!
See more from this incredible shoot here and in the recent print issue of One Fourth Mag. Scroll down to see incredible Bonphotage Videography of the whole editorial!
