Read MoreThe difference between being a good and a great wedding photographer is the ability to capture all of the little in between moments. Sure, the first kiss is important, the bride walking down the aisle is a must, but what about that split second where a mother sees her daughter in her wedding gown for the first time? The reaction occurs in an instant, and the documented image is one the bride and family will cherish forever. We usually focus on details and bride and groom portraits for our sneak peeks (because after all it is THEIR day), BUT this wedding was just so full of beautiful emotion and love, that we felt those moments needed to be included. Jennifer + Petar - you two are a joy and we couldn't be more honored to have documented your perfect day! Congrats you two and enjoy this sneak peek (and down forget to grab a tissue!)

Read MoreI met with a couple interested in wedding photography today and I asked them what abut our photos made them reach out to us over all the other photographers. I expected to hear something like "we love film photography" or "we saw this photo in such and such magazine," but their answer caught me surprise. The bride-to-be said "I think what really drew me to your website was the fact that it looked like your couples were genuinely having a really fun time working with you!" I loved her answer, as obviously, aside from beautiful photography, that is our goal!
When Bilu + Hao's film scans came in today right after my meeting and I saw the laughter and unmistakable happiness, I realized she was right. We DO have so much fun with our clients! Maybe because they're *this* stinking cute??!! We love our jobs at Bonphotage. That is all.

Read MorePeople 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!

Read MoreThis, 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
