Bonphotage - Congress Hotel Wedding Photography - Carolina + Jeff

Carolina and Jeff tied the knot yesterday in a luxurious, European-inspired grand ballroom at the Congress Hotel in downtown Chicago!

Carolina was a beautiful vision in her mermaid silhouette, lace wedding gown and gold sparkly heels. Her best ladies wore violet colored chiffon bridesmaids gowns in alternating styles. No detail was overlooked including the brides photo of her grandfather kept in a locket around her bouquet *tear*

At several points during their wedding, I actually had to hold in the emotion myself, including when she and her father both shed a tear during the father daughter dance and when the groom's brother told the most hilarious stories during the best man speech! 

This sneak peek tells a small part of the romantic imagery and love that was at play throughout the day. It was an honor to capture your wedding Carolina and Jeff - thank you for letting Bonphotage be a part of your important day!

Special thanks to Cody for fabulously second-shooting and to Mark for cinematic capture of the day.

Bonphotage - Chicago Engagement Photography - Dana + Shaun

September is my favorite month. The weather and *incredible* light during Dana and Shaun's Chicago engagement session reminded me why I am such a lover of Autumn. A perfect 75 degree day, with to-die-for golden hour light, and the chemistry between these two made for one of my favorite engagement shoots ever!

Dana and Shaun are tying the knot in North Carolina next year and we couldn't be happier for them! 

Enjoy this sneak peek!

SO many sweet smiles during this engagement shoot at the Art Institute in Chicago. I can't wait for these two to tie the knot next summer!

Dean was so sweet when he called and asked us to capture his proposal to his girlfriend of five years, Paige! 

A true romantic, Dean did not skimp on a single detail..we're talking..taking Paige shopping on Michigan Avenue during the day and buying her a gorgeous dress and Valentino heels, privatizing the roof deck of the Peninsula hotel in downtown Chicago, hiring the unbelievably talented Kehoe designs (rose petals, moss wall - the real deal!) and then surprising his love with a STUNNING engagement ring! 

The whole scene was something dreams are made of and we are honored to have captured their beautiful day!
