Bonphotage California and Chicago Wedding Film Photography and Videography - Sunstone Villa Winery Santa Ynez Valley

Tucked into the golden hills of Santa Ynez, Justin and Mikyla’s wedding at Sunstone Villa unfolded like a dream - one that whispered of Tuscany, haute couture, and a love story written across continents. With its ivy-clad stone walls, arched doorways, and old-world charm, Sunstone Winery - an architectural love letter to the Italian countryside - proved the perfect stage for a wedding that was equal parts elegance, energy, and effortless style.

From the moment guests arrived at this villa-inspired haven, it was clear: this was not your ordinary celebration. The air pulsed with color - bold blooms in passionate fuschias, deep corals, and golden ochres adorned tables and lined the aisle, a vibrant contrast to the warm neutral tones of the villa. It was as if the very spirit of Italy had stepped into California for the day.

Mikyla’s fashion journey was a story in itself, with three distinct and striking couture gowns that each captured a facet of her personality. For the ceremony, she chose timeless romance: a structured silhouette with cascading lace and an ethereal veil that caught the golden hour light like a dream. For cocktail hour, she stunned in a short, playful gown with a dramatic and textured veil.

Justin, ever the perfect complement, wore a classic tux with just enough European flair to hint at the couple’s international spirit. Their guest list read like a passport -dear friends and loved ones from across the globe, dressed to the nines, bringing their unique elegance and cultural flavor to the day.

Together, Justin and Mikyla curated a celebration that transcended borders and blended modern sophistication with the old-world magic of a Tuscan escape. Every detail - from the bold floral installations to the candlelit alfresco dinner under a starlit sky - was a reflection of their impeccable taste and vibrant love story.

This was more than a wedding. It was an experience, a fashion moment, a feast for the senses - and above all, a heartfelt celebration of two souls whose union feels as timeless and breathtaking as the venue that witnessed it.

We are so grateful to have been chosen to document photography and videography for their incredible multi-day celebration! Congratulations you two!
