People 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 MoreBrie and Jordan have that kind of love that radiates to everyone around them. Not only are they beautiful on the outside but they are two of the sweetest people I've had the pleasure of capturing. When Brie (who is also the talent behind Splendor of Eden!) reached out to me about photographing their five year anniversary in the Amalfi Coast, it was a no brainer! I had a fabulous time wandering around Ravello with these lovebirds, including some of the most spectacular locations in the world, Hotel Belmond Caruso and Villa Cimbrone!
Can't stop staring at all this beauty! Congrats you two!

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
