Sue Ping and Hyun tied the knot at one of our favorite Chicago venues - Galleria Marchetti!

The ceremony took place under the beautiful ivy- covered archway in Galleria Marchetti's courtyard and then the party moved inside for the tented reception in all it's pink and white glory! I can't get enough of their beautiful film scans!

Bonphotage Destination Wedding Photography - Green Turtle Bay - Chelsea + David

Weddings like Chelsea + David's at the Green Turtle Bay Resort in Kentucky are the reason why we LOVE destination weddings! Surrounded by picturesque nature and their closest family and friends, C + D said "I do" in one of the most heartfelt ceremonies I have had the pleasure of witnessing. Let's just say, more than a couple tears were shed! Not to mention, an absolutely stunning braid and dapper groom! 

I can't get enough of their film scans and am so happy for these two and all the future holds for them! 

Congrats you two! xo, Bonphotage

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!

Paige and Nathan are serious couple *goals*! Not only are they beautiful people who are seriously in love, but they also run marathons together (competitively) - how sweet is that?!

Bonphotage Fine Art Gatlinburg Wedding Photography - Ashley + Brian

I really try not to play favorites with our couples, but it was so hard not to love every moment we spent photographing Ashley and Brian's wedding in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Let's start with the absolutely stunning setting at the Park Vista Hotel, overlooking the vast Smoky Mountain National Park, on a perfectly sunny summer day. The view alone was enough to make us never want to leave. Add to that, a couple so in love, that they actually didn't need any guidance at all for posing - all of those incredibly intimate moments you see on this blog? Those are just them, being themselves (can anybody say "CHEMISTRY?!") 

Their first look took place on the edge of a cliff where Brian took a moment to take in the scenery and reflect on his upcoming nuptials. When Ashley approached and he took a look at his beautiful bride, the tears began (for ALL of us!) It was impossible not to feel the incredible love between them! The day then continued with a ceremony overlooking the vast nature and an al-fresco dinner filled with so many laughs and love (and the cutest kiddos!) 

We are honored to have been a small part of their wedding day and so excited to share a sneak peek! Congratulations you two!

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! It was so important to A + J that their guests have a fun time and as an objective observer, I can say that was definitely the case! Guests dined at food stations serving delicious food and danced well into the night while a live band kept the atmosphere festive! 

It was an honor to be a part of your special day - congratulations you two!

Bonphotage Chicago Fine Art Wedding Photography - Adrienne + Phil - Cafe Brauer

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! 

We are honored to have been a small part of their beautiful day! Enjoy this sneak peek you two!

How's this for an absolutely stunning wedding?! Took me about 5 minutes to pick my jaw up off the floor when these film scans came in from Laura and Eric's wedding day! (But really though). Planned perfectly by Marquette Avenue Events, Laura and Eric's wedding at the Palmer House Hilton in downtown Chicago was straight out of a fairy tale.

Bonphotage Surprise Proposal Photography - Krishan + Nikita

When Krishan called me sounding so excited about proposing to his love Nikita, I knew this was going to be an epic surprise! Krishan carefully thought out all of the details about where he wanted to propose with a stunning skyline background and then came all the way from Oklahoma to Chicago to make it happen! Captured perfectly on film by Madeline of Bonphotage, the whole scene was out of a fairy tale, including the surprise appearance of their families!

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!
