Bonphotage Chicago Film Wedding Photography and Videography - Morton Arboretum - Kathryn and Clayton

Capturing both the photos and the cinematic video for these two was an absolute dream. From a deeply emotional ceremony to a reception dance floor that completely brought the house down, this day was pure magic. Let’s dive into all the gorgeous details!

Chicago has some incredible venues, but there is something truly special about leaving the bustling city streets for the serene, lush landscapes of the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois. It is the ultimate outdoor Chicago wedding venue for couples who want a fairytale garden aesthetic.

Kathryn and Clayton wanted their day to feel romantic, timeless, and deeply connected to nature. The Arboretum delivered on every front. Everywhere you turned, there was a stunning backdrop - sweeping meadows, vibrant floral gardens, and majestic, centuries-old trees that made for the most epic portrait locations.

When it came to capturing their day, the energy was just infectious. They just radiated JOY from beginning to end and were surrounded by so much love and graciousness. Oh and we are still obsessing over the bridal party dresses - organic and just so beautiful yet not matchy!

A photo can freeze a beautiful second in time, but a video lets you relive the laughter, the music, and the movement. That is why we are so passionate about offering both! We highly recommend grabbing a tissue and hitting play on Kathryn and Clayton’s highlight film below to truly feel the energy of their incredible day.

It takes a village to bring a day this beautiful to life! A huge thank you to the incredible vendor team:
