Bonphotage Chicago Wedding Photography, Videography and Content Creation - Armour House Wedding

There are some venues that feel like they were designed for love stories - and Armour House is undeniably one of them. A longtime favorite of the Romano sisters, this historic Lake Forest estate brings together European architecture, sprawling gardens, and that unmistakable old-world romance Bonphotage couples adore. Olivia and Robert’s wedding embraced every bit of that magic!

Set in the heart of fall, their day unfolded in a palette of warm, earthy tones - burnt golds, soft greens, ivory florals, and the kind of gentle amber light that can only happen in October. Armour House in autumn is a dream, and Olivia looked like she had stepped straight out of a couture editorial as her bridesmaids fluffed her veil in the garden, the sun slipping perfectly behind the pergola.

Every moment felt cinematic.
Every detail felt intentional.
Every frame - especially on film - felt timeless.

Guests arrived to the soft rustling of fall leaves and the crispness of the season. Olivia and Robert exchanged vows surrounded by historic columns and turning foliage, a tableau that could only exist at Armour House. As the sun dipped low, it gifted us a stunning sunset - a golden halo behind the couple that turned their portraits into painterly perfection. There’s truly nothing like the way Armour House catches the light.

From the elegant architecture to the grand staircase to the manicured gardens that seem to glow this time of year, this venue continues to be one of our most-requested locations - and Olivia and Robert showed exactly why.

Their celebration moved seamlessly into an evening of heartfelt toasts, candlelit dinner, laughter, and joy. It was classic. It was emotional. It was the kind of wedding that reminds you why you fell in love with telling stories through imagery in the first place.

To Olivia and Robert - thank you for inviting us into your breathtaking fall wedding day. Armour House will always be special to us, and now it holds one more gorgeous love story!
