Bonphotage Chicago Film Wedding Photography - Montebello Estate Wedding

Kristina and David’s wedding at The Montebello Estate was an absolute dream, and we are obsessed with every single detail! We were lucky enough to capture this day on both digital and 35mm/medium format film, plus some epic drone shots of the venue that you just have to see!


The Montebello Estate is serving major romantic, secret-garden energy. Think sweeping lawns, mature trees, and a gorgeous manor house covered in lush, creeping ivy. Our drone footage really shows off the scale of this place - it’s tucked away in the woods and feels like a private secret garden oasis.

Kristina was an absolute vision in her gown, which featured a stunning beaded bodice and a flowy skirt. We snapped some amazing black and white film photos of her stepping out of a classic white car and the vibes were immaculate.

They tied the knot at a beautiful brick church, and the exit was iconic. They did a literal dove release on the church steps, surrounded by their cheering friends and family (and some bubbles!). It was such a unique and joyful moment to capture.

Back at the estate, the party really started. The grounds have these amazing statues and perfectly manicured gardens, which made for the perfect cocktail hour backdrop. They had an incredible outdoor drink wall set up with glasses of champagne and beer - so chic and convenient for guests.

The reception space was breathtaking, with elegant gold-beaded charger plates, silver chiavari chairs, and crisp white menus at every setting. But the real showstopper?! The dessert table. It was a massive spread featuring everything from mini parfaits and tiramisu cups to tiered trays of cookies and pastries.

The night ended with an epic dance floor under a draped tent with globe string lights. Kristina and David were radiating happiness, and we had the best time celebrating with them!

We are so grateful to have been a small part of their incredible day!
