Bonphotage - Caitlin + Dennis - Intercontinental Hotel Chicago

Caitlin looked absolutely radiant as she walked down to the aisle to meet her soon-to-be husband Dennis! Caitlin was dressed in a lace, mermaid style, strapless gown while her bridesmaids wore navy blue gowns. Mother's of the bride and groom wore royal blue and purple and these rich jewel tones played across other details of the wedding as well, including the beautiful florals. 

The couple was married surrounded by their family and friends in their hometown church. They then took a limo (where the party definitely began!) on the way to the Grand Ballroom at the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Chicago. Tears were shed, laughs were had and dancing continued into the night!

Bonphotage - Michigan Lakeside Estate Wedding Photography - Jolie + Stu

When Jolie and Stu contacted me about photographing their intimate wedding surrounded by their closest friends and family...at a $10 million dollar mansion surrounded by lush garden and with private tunnel access to Lake Michigan, I was obviously intrigued. I mean, really? Sounds like a photographer's dream. 

And, they weren't exaggerating. Lush foliage surrounded the windy streets leading up to the secluded estate and hydrangeas and weeping willows grew freely. The bride looked stunning in a Victoria Sdoukos couture gown and pearl drop earrings. Her gorgeous bouquet included pink, peach and soft-colored roses and hydrangeas. 

The sweetest little flower girls and ring bearer danced carelessly around the garden overlooking Lake Michigan like a vision out of a dream.  The intimate wedding took place on the private beach area and was followed by a BBQ style dinner cooked by their favorite chef. After dinner, cake and lots of champagne, the couple danced their first dance in the garden surrounded by beautiful purple, blue and orange sunset colors. 

Congratulations Jolie + Stu! I wish you all the happiness in the world and am honored to have been a part of your dreamy day. Enjoy the sneak peek!

Bonphotage Wedding Photography - Trump Hotel + Galleria Marchetti

Sometimes I have the pleasure of arriving at a wedding and finding a truly magical, fairy tale like scene. From the beautiful lilac colored dress, soft pastel flower palette by Fragrant Design, Badgley Mischka jewel encrusted heels, elaborate flower arch in the garden ceremony and stunning chandelier-draped tent, no detail was forgotten.

Erin and John (real life Barbie and Ken, no really though) looked fabulous at their Trump Hotel Chicago and Galleria Marchetti wedding and their love was obvious to everyone! The wedding even included live ballads by legendary Chicago singer, John Vincent, and Erin's dad rocked the crowd with his signature Wooly Bully dance!

We feel absolutely blessed to capture both photography and videography at such beautiful events. Enjoy this sneak peek (sneak peek video coming soon!)
