Bonphotage - North American Kadus Launch Party - Virgin Hotel

Today I had the pleasure of photographing the Kadus North American Launch Party at the Virgin Hotel in downtown Chicago. Complete with some of the most gorgeous models in the business, including Mayra Pena and Caroline Foreman, beautiful flower arrangements by Fragrant Designs and hand massages for all attendees, celebrity brand ambassadors including Glenn Nutley (hair stylist to Britney Spears!) and Caroline Kim, the event was luxurious to say the least. 

Thank you Devries Global and Virgin Hotels for inviting me to participate in this fabulous event!

Bonphotage - Chicago Virgin Hotel Spotlight

As a Chicago wedding photographer, I am often asked for venue recommendations from my brides. Every now and then, I have the pleasure of photographing an event at a venue which really stands out and I feel obliged to share the news! Last month, I was honored to photograph "Bubbles and Brunch," an event aimed at introducing the phenomenal space to some of the most highly regarded wedding planners and florists in the wedding industry.

Chicago Downtown and Hyde Park Engagement Session

Despite knowing each other for two years, both growing up in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago (Obama's home town!), their grandmothers sharing a best friend, the Bernsteins living literally across the street from the Heydemanns, Henry and Lizzi never really connected.

It was during the summer of 2014 that Henry moved back to Chicago after a brief stint in NY and was looking for a new spiritual community, a place to be inspired and reconnected to Judaism on his terms. Enter Rabbi Lizzi, who loves nothing more than a young adult on a mission to be inspired. Fast forward a couple months later... Lizzi asked Henry out. Giddy with excitement, he said yes. And finally, despite having a really really bad day on the date they happened to pick for a first date, he psyched himself up, put on his game face and let her pick him up in her Honda. The rest is history.

Lincoln Park Surprise Proposal!

When Andres contacted me about photographing his surprise proposal to his girlfriend of 7 years, I was elated! Andres and Paula recently moved to Chicago from Miami and he wanted to find a warm, tropical place to propose to remind her of her home and family. We decided that the Lincoln Park Conservatory would be perfect!

Amongst the luscious greens and spring flowers, Andres told Paula a "story" he had carefully thought of about a "friend" who reminded him a lot of them. I watched from a few feet behind as I pretended to be photographing the flowers. When I saw him get on his knee and the ecstatic look on Paula's face...I remembered why I truly have the best job in the world. I get to capture love and happiness! 

Congratulations Andres and Paula!
