Bonphotage Chicago and California Fine Art Wedding Photography - Bel Air Bay Club - Emma & Geoff

Emma and Geoff celebrated their beautiful wedding amongst their closest family and friends, overlooking the Pacific Ocean at the stunning Bel Air Bay Club in Los Angeles California. Emma looked absolutely radiant as she walked down the aisle sprinkled with rose petals towards the love of her life, Geoff. Orchids and hydrangeas adorned the flower arch at the end of the aisle and Emma carried a beautiful bouquet of Orchids and greenery. Geoff’s expression when he saw her for the first look says it all! It was such an honor working with such a genuine and sweet couple and we are honored to have captured their beautiful day! Congrats you two and enjoy this sneak peek!

Aren’t these florals just everything?! We are loving the jewel tones Vickie chose for her winter wedding at Chicago’s Hotel Allegro! As if her stunning Galia Lahav wedding gown and cathedral veil wasn’t enough to woo her new husband, the beautiful bride wore not one, not two, but three beautiful gowns throughout the day! The whole day was filled with happy tears and laughter and made for the perfect wedding day. It was an honor being part of their special day - congratulations you two!

There's nothing quite as romantic as the ever-restless sea... the tides, the shifting sands, the delivery of unmatched sunset backdrops. Maybe it's why many of us look to the ocean to celebrate love. Stacey and Reed chose Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for their idyllic location and what a dream wedding it was!

Stacey looked absolutely stunning in her Hayley Paige gown and Reed’s expression during their first look and when she came down the aisle said it all! We are so honored to have photographed their beautiful day in the Dominican and we hope you enjoy this beautiful sneak peek as much as we do!

Layla and Imran planned the most amazing wedding! It started at Chicago’s finest luxury hotel, The London House Hotel and ended a few blocks away at the Chicago Cultural Center! The Cultural Center was designed in a neoclassical style over 100yrs ago and we are obsessed with every beautiful architectural detail, including the Tiffany & Co. dome ceiling.

One of my favorite photos from their day was during their ‘first look’ – Layla’s face holds so much emotion and happiness as she heads towards Imran, all in front of the beautiful Chicago River backdrop!

Big shoutout to City Girl Events for perfectly coordinating the day and Divine Deisgns for the beautiful florals!

Rarely do you meet two people so beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside. I had the pleasure of meeting Chelsea years ago when she modeled for an editorial I was shooting in LA and I was honored when she reached out about capturing her wedding at Chateau Cocomar!

We didn’t think twice about flying out to Houston for their fairytale wedding! Chelsea looked absolutely stunning in her Pallas Couture gown and every detail was carefully thought out, from her Tom Ford heels to matching YSL clutch. Surrounded by friends and family, Nick and Chelsea said “I do” before partying well into the night! Just look at that cake!!

We are absolutely swooning over their beautiful images and we are so excited to share a sneak peek into their perfect day!
