Bonphotage Michigan and Chicago Luxury Wedding Photography & Videography - Shepherds Hollow Golf Club

When it comes to fairytale weddings, Daniela and Jason’s celebration at Shepherd’s Hollow Golf Club in Michigan set a new standard for luxury, style, and unforgettable moments. From a couture bridal look to a towering wedding cake and a glass tent dripping in elegance, this luxury destination wedding was the very definition of sophisticated celebration!

Nestled in the heart of Metro Detroit’s lush pine forest, Shepherd’s Hollow is one of Michigan’s most sought-after luxury wedding venues. With its signature glass tent perched atop rolling green hills, this location offers the dreamlike setting of a destination wedding—without leaving the Midwest.

Daniela and Jason chose this venue precisely for its ethereal charm and from our first conversation, I knew this wedding would be one for the books! As sunlight poured through the transparent walls and canopy of the tent, the couple’s ceremony and reception felt like something out of a modern-day fairytale. The towering trees surrounded the event in privacy and natural grandeur, while the glass tent allowed nature and luxury to coexist in perfect harmony.

Every detail of Daniela and Jason’s wedding was rooted in bespoke style. The bride stunned in a couture gown that featured intricate hand-beaded embellishments, a sweeping train, and delicate gloves—timeless with a modern edge. Jason looked equally dashing in a custom-tailored tuxedo, perfectly complementing the wedding’s elevated black-tie aesthetic.

From the bridal party’s designer ensembles to the guests dressed in chic black-tie looks, this wedding was a masterclass in fashion-forward luxury. One of the undeniable showstoppers? A multi-tiered wedding cake so grand it deserved its own spotlight! Artfully crafted with sugar florals and architectural elements, it was more than a dessert—it was a sculptural centerpiece.

The reception space was filled with custom tablescapes, imported florals, and an abundance of candlelight. The entire tent glowed with a romantic warmth as day turned to night, and every corner was styled to perfection—from the statement floral installations to the monogrammed dance floor.

As luxurious as the ceremony was, the celebration truly came alive after dark. Daniela and Jason’s guests filled the dance floor from the first beat to the last, led by a live band and a curated playlist that had even the most composed guests dancing like no one was watching. Signature cocktails flowed, the champagne never stopped, and the late-night snacks ensured the energy never dipped. The lighting design pulsed with the music, casting a soft, glamorous glow that turned the glass tent into the ultimate luxury party dome.

As wedding photographers, videographers and content creators who specialize in capturing luxury destination weddings, we were honored to document every stunning moment of Daniela and Jason’s big day. From the emotional vows to the electric dance floor, it was the kind of wedding that reminds us why we love what we do!

Congratulations you two!

Bonphotage Fine Art Gatlinburg Wedding Photography - Ashley + Brian

I really try not to play favorites with our couples, but it was so hard not to love every moment we spent photographing Ashley and Brian's wedding in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Let's start with the absolutely stunning setting at the Park Vista Hotel, overlooking the vast Smoky Mountain National Park, on a perfectly sunny summer day. The view alone was enough to make us never want to leave. Add to that, a couple so in love, that they actually didn't need any guidance at all for posing - all of those incredibly intimate moments you see on this blog? Those are just them, being themselves (can anybody say "CHEMISTRY?!") 

Their first look took place on the edge of a cliff where Brian took a moment to take in the scenery and reflect on his upcoming nuptials. When Ashley approached and he took a look at his beautiful bride, the tears began (for ALL of us!) It was impossible not to feel the incredible love between them! The day then continued with a ceremony overlooking the vast nature and an al-fresco dinner filled with so many laughs and love (and the cutest kiddos!) 

We are honored to have been a small part of their wedding day and so excited to share a sneak peek! Congratulations you two!

If Lauren's pretty face looks familiar, it's because you may have seen it recently on your television screen! As a sports broadcaster on WGN TV and an impressive resume to boot (including recently reporting for the Green Bay Packers!), I was honored when Lauren asked me to capture her wedding day to her long time love, Steve! 

Aside from being ridiculously attractive, these two love the outdoors, extreme sports and Chicago! I am soo excited for their Morton Arboretum wedding next year and couldn't be happier for these two!

Bonphotage - Paris Engagement Session!

Paris is the city of love! Between the impeccable Parisian architecture, pristine gardens and rich artistic and historical culture, the romance is everywhere. Add a stunning Giorgio Armani red dress and the sweetest couple (that flew all the way from China for their Paris engagement photos!), and I am left swooning! 

Most of the engagement session took place on Pont Neuf, one of the most stunning spots in Paris with gold statutes, beautiful lines and of course, the Eiffel Tower in the background. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful engagement session and am over the moon happy for this lovely duo! xo, Bonphotage
