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

Read MoreAmanda 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!

Read MoreAside 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!
