Read MoreBermuda is an undeniably idyllic place that simply makes my heart happy! The colors on the island are a feast for the eyes (and the film photographer!) The pastel colored buildings in shades of pink and yellow, the lush cliffs overlooking the crashing over the crystal clear turquoise waters below; there is nothing more serene and peaceful. Add to this scene a stunning luxury resort, the Princess Hamilton, the sweetest couple and gorgeous florals - and MAGIC! I am so excited to share a sneak peek of Carole + Shameeke's wedding weekend, planned perfectly by Jo Ann Gregoli and captured by yours truly, Bonphotage.
Enjoy and congratulations you two!

Read MoreI literally squealed when these film scans landed in my inbox. Quite possibly the most beautiful wedding we've had the privilege of covering, Nicole + Tarik's special day was nothing short of a dream! The ceremony took place by the chapel steps at the historic Chateau Bouthonvilliers in the French Countryside. It had been raining in the morning but the skies opened up with the perfect amount of sun and light breeze right before they said "I do" (a film photographer's dream!) The flowers from Floresie were out of this world (see her bouquet!!) and we absolutely cannot forget Nicole's blush Lazaro dress which literally stopped me in my tracks! Every detail was accounted for, from the oval emerald stunning engagement ring, to the hand calligraphed vow books to the studded louboutins, and all of it was perfectly executed by Mayra from The Event House.
Read MoreThe difference between being a good and a great wedding photographer is the ability to capture all of the little in between moments. Sure, the first kiss is important, the bride walking down the aisle is a must, but what about that split second where a mother sees her daughter in her wedding gown for the first time? The reaction occurs in an instant, and the documented image is one the bride and family will cherish forever. We usually focus on details and bride and groom portraits for our sneak peeks (because after all it is THEIR day), BUT this wedding was just so full of beautiful emotion and love, that we felt those moments needed to be included. Jennifer + Petar - you two are a joy and we couldn't be more honored to have documented your perfect day! Congrats you two and enjoy this sneak peek (and down forget to grab a tissue!)

Read MoreOur travel schedule at Bonphotage has been a little crazy this year but trust us, we are not mad at all. We have traveled far and wide this year to capture love, including to France, Italy, Hawaii and most recently, Puerto Rico! When Jennifer called us explaining that she wanted us to capture her romantic elopement at the gorgeous St. Regis Bahia Beach resort in Old San Juan, we were more than happy to oblige! We spent the day hitting the best spots in San Juan, including old cathedrals, historic landmarks, pastel colored buildings on the water and other dreamy locations - and this magic (on film!) is what resulted! Congratulations you two and thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your special day!

Read MoreI met with a couple interested in wedding photography today and I asked them what abut our photos made them reach out to us over all the other photographers. I expected to hear something like "we love film photography" or "we saw this photo in such and such magazine," but their answer caught me surprise. The bride-to-be said "I think what really drew me to your website was the fact that it looked like your couples were genuinely having a really fun time working with you!" I loved her answer, as obviously, aside from beautiful photography, that is our goal!
When Bilu + Hao's film scans came in today right after my meeting and I saw the laughter and unmistakable happiness, I realized she was right. We DO have so much fun with our clients! Maybe because they're *this* stinking cute??!! We love our jobs at Bonphotage. That is all.
