Bonphotage Fine Art Destination Elopement Photography - St. Regis Bahia Beach, San Juan Puerto Rico

Our travel schedule at Bonphotage has been a little crazy this year but trust us, we are not mad at all. We have traveled far and wide this year to capture love, including to France, Italy, Hawaii and most recently, Puerto Rico! When Jennifer called us explaining that she wanted us to capture her romantic elopement at the gorgeous St. Regis Bahia Beach resort in Old San Juan, we were more than happy to oblige! We spent the day hitting the best spots in San Juan, including old cathedrals, historic landmarks, pastel colored buildings on the water and other dreamy locations - and this magic (on film!) is what resulted! Congratulations you two and thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your special day!

Bonphotage Fine Art Film Chicago Engagement Photography - Bilu + Hao

I met with a couple interested in wedding photography today and I asked them what abut our photos made them reach out to us over all the other photographers. I expected to hear something like "we love film photography" or "we saw this photo in such and such magazine," but their answer caught me surprise. The bride-to-be said "I think what really drew me to your website was the fact that it looked like your couples were genuinely having a really fun time working with you!" I loved her answer, as obviously, aside from beautiful photography, that is our goal!

When Bilu + Hao's film scans came in today right after my meeting and I saw the laughter and unmistakable happiness, I realized she was right. We DO have so much fun with our clients! Maybe because they're *this* stinking cute??!! We love our jobs at Bonphotage. That is all.

Bonphotage Fine Art Destination Wedding Photography - Veranda at Whitcomb St. Joseph, Michigan - Chris + Kiki

People often ask me why I shoot film. "Isn't it expensive," they ask? "No one does that anymore." "Why not digital?" And then....I receive scans that look like this - forward it on to them....and "oooohhhhh," they say, "I get it now." 

Kiki and Chris - you are a gorgeous couple and we are thrilled to share a sneak peek of your most special day. Thank you for inviting us all the way to St. Joseph, Michigan to capture your perfect day - it was an honor!

Bonphotage - Paris France - Honeymoon Fine Art Photography - Meriam + Samer

This, my friends, is why I actually beam when people ask me if I like my job! Like? LOVE!! It isn't even the fact that I had the pleasure to photograph Meriam and Samer in the most beautiful city in the world (Paris!) - it is the fact that I have had the honor to capture Meriam and Samer's lifetime milestones on four separate occasions (engagement, bridal shower, wedding AND Paris honeymoon!) Nothing could be more fulfilling than practicing your passion, creating time pieces  people will cherish forever and establishing life long friendships along the way. It is truly a blessing. 

Thank you Meriam and Samer for the opportunity and now...bring on the cute babies so we can capture them too!!! 

All the love,  Bonphotage
