Sometimes I like to help pose my clients and then click the camera right at that split moment between poses when they relax and those genuine, natural smiles come out. Laura and Eric are OBVIOUSLY incredibly photogenic (#bonphotagebridesarethehottest) but I could tell these two were at their best when they were just being themselves, so candid was the goal...and...MAGIC!

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!

Enjoy this sneak peek..congrats you two!

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!

Congratulations Dean + Paige! xo, Bonphotage

If Lauren's pretty face looks familiar, it's because you may have seen it recently on your television screen!
