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 - Paris France - Honeymoon Fine Art Photography - Meriam + Samer

This, my friends, is why I actually beam when people ask me if I like my job! Like? LOVE!! It isn't even the fact that I had the pleasure to photograph Meriam and Samer in the most beautiful city in the world (Paris!) - it is the fact that I have had the honor to capture Meriam and Samer's lifetime milestones on four separate occasions (engagement, bridal shower, wedding AND Paris honeymoon!) Nothing could be more fulfilling than practicing your passion, creating time pieces  people will cherish forever and establishing life long friendships along the way. It is truly a blessing. 

Thank you Meriam and Samer for the opportunity and now...bring on the cute babies so we can capture them too!!! 

All the love,  Bonphotage
