Bonphotage Fine Art Chicago Engagement Photography - Anne & Mike - Chicago Roofdeck Engagement

These lovebirds wanted a casual engagement session which reflected the life they love so very much together. So causal is what they got...kinda. Turns out their Chicago condo has the most incredible sweeping Chicago views - so of course, we needed to take advantage of those VIEWS! Add a little champagne bottle popping to the mix and the next thing we knew, we were galavanting around the city taking pretty photos on film in some of their favorite locations. I absolutely love the beautiful tones and LOVE captured in these images! 

Congrats you two and enjoy this sneak peek! We can't wait to capture your big day!

Bonphotage Fine Art Wedding Photography - Chateau Torreau - Provence, France - Published on White Wren

This inspiration shoot at Chateau de Tourreau was designed to showcase all the beauty that comes alone with an intimate destination wedding in the Provencial French countryside. We are so thrilled to see this beautiful wedding featured on the White Wren

 

As the day began the bride was able to take a few moments alone and soak in all the beauty of the chateau before stepping out onto the sun-drenched terrace to take in the view of the perfectly maintained grounds. The bride changed into a stunning, plunging-back gown and carried a breathtaking pink and white peony filled bouquet with accent of fresh fruit from Jardin de Provence. Once she was ready, she strolled down the grand staircase to meet her love.

Bonphotage Fine Art San Francisco Engagement Photography - Nina & Sean

As a photographer, it is always such a compliment when I am hired by another photographer! I knew Nina and Sean's engagement session would be amazing when she suggested a destination engagement shoot in San Francisco where her fiance Sean had been living for the past few months. Our first stop was the Palace of Fine Arts which is even more impressive in person than in photos! Nina's dress perfectly complimented the setting and these two were so full of chemistry, it made my job a breeze! Our next stop was on the shore at golden hour with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background! Magical would be an understatement! 

Enjoy this sneak peek you two! We can't wait for your wedding day!

Bonphotage Fine Art Wedding Photography Workshop Part I - Villa Terrace, Milwaukee - As Published in Martha Stewart Weddings

What an absolute dream to see our work published on Martha Stewart Weddings today! You would never know it was a freezing day in Milwaukee when a dream team of vendors and the Bonphotage Photography  team got together in Milwaukee at Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum for the Bonphotage Photography workshop ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

From Martha Stewart, "No place has quite the same allure as Europe—which explains why it's a popular wedding destination for couples planning an ultra-romantic fête. While each across-the-pond country comes with its own rich legacy and historic architecture, that Old-World feeling distinct to Europe surrounds you no matter where you are on the continent. Whether you're standing in front of a château in the South of France or basking in the sun on a Spanish villa's veranda, there's one thing that's certain: That vibe, strong enough to make you dream of a life as an ex-pat, doesn't come along very often when you're stateside—and you sense it even less (if at all) in your hometown.At least, that's what Lynzie Hazan of  believed until she stumbled upon the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum in—believe it or not—Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Hazan took one look at the mansion, designed in the style of a 16th-century Italian Renaissance mansion, and knew that it "needed to be captured in an elegant way." Suddenly, the idea came to her. "While we all dream of a European wedding, it isn't always an option," she explains. "So, why not bring Europe to the couple?"

She then assembled a dream team—which included Régine Danielle Events and Frontier Flowers of Fontana—to bring her vision of a European-inspired styled shoot, complete with a color palette informed by the Tuscan-inspired venue, vintage rentals, and an antique-filled tablescape, to life. With the villa's sprawling gardens, terracotta tiled roof, and waterfront location (it overlooks Lake Michigan!) as a backdrop, it's almost impossible to believe that this concept came together in the continental U.S.

Of course, not every couple has access to a venue designed with the Italianate architecture of the past as a model, especially if they're getting hitched in the place where they grew up. But that absolutely doesn't mean that you can't plan a European-themed celebration. Here, Hazan and her team give their tips on planning and executing a hometown wedding that feels like a little sliver of Tuscany."
