Everything about working with Lynzie and her team at Bonphotage was perfect. From our engagement photo shoot to receiving our full gallery, the Bonphotage team was always detailed, attentive, accommodating, and most of all fun to work with. Lynzie and Sammi made everyone feel so comfortable on the day of and, because of that, they were able to capture beautiful and authentic moments throughout our entire wedding day. Their eyes for light and movement were truly captured in some of the most beautiful and unique photos I never thought I'd see of myself and my husband. We are so excited to relive our wedding day through these beautiful moments. <3

Bonphotage went above and beyond all day to make sure they captured everything from our special day. From the consultation to our actual wedding day, the entire time was punctual, professional, and organized. Serena and Sammie were incredibly supportive, kind, and made all of the photo opportunities seem fun and stress free. They made sure that they captured all of our special moments in such a gentle way. I couldn’t be happier with the photos and videos- they are sooo beautiful. I would recommend Bonphotage to anyone!

Bonphotage recently captured our wedding day and I am beyond thrilled with the results. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of the photos, Sammie and Laura were pleasure to work with.
Not only were Sammi & Laura professional and easy to communicate with, but their photography skills are truly top-notch. They have a keen eye for capturing the special moments and emotions of the day, and the final photos are absolutely stunning.
On the day of the wedding, the Bonphotage team was punctual, organized, and made sure to capture all the important moments without being intrusive. They also did a great job of wrangling our large bridal party and family for group shots.
I couldn't be happier with the photos that Bonphotage delivered. They truly captured the essence of our wedding day and I will cherish these photos for years to come. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a talented and professional wedding photographer. Thank you for capturing our special day so beautifully!
Thank you for being apart of our wedding journey!

Yes, bonphotage really does deliver for you the gorgeous images that you see on their website and social media. Bonphotage was recommended to us by our wedding reception venue and when we discovered their work we were immediately blown away. Their light and bright, classically romantic, yet lush style was exactly what we were looking for. And if that wasn't enough, we were overjoyed to discover that bonphotage provides unlimited real film photographs, in addition to their beautiful digital shots. This was something that we had been looking high and low for, but as many Chicago wedding photographers said to us, "Nobody does film anymore." But when we met with Lynzie she emphasized the importance of the film photography in executing their signature look and we were immediately sold. For us, we placed a special emphasis upon capturing the special moments of our Catholic mass and bonphotage certainly delivered. If you want wedding photos (and video!) that look like they jumped straight off of the pages of Vogue look no further!

Bonphotage’s Serena Valenti and John Agunod photographed our wedding. We just looked through the photos and they were able to capture moments that matter the most. Their product was amazing, and they also were so fun to hang out with and made everything so smooth. Serena and John - you were such a big part of our day, and our families/guests loved you guys too! Thank you again so much! We can’t recommend them enough!

We had the best experience with Bonphotage. Both my sister and brother used Bonphotage Photography for their wedding and had a wonderful experience, so of course I had to use them for my big day! They exceeded my expectations. Our photographer, Sammi, was beyond professional, sweet, fun, and knew exactly what to say and do to get the job done. We had a huge bridal party and a big wedding and she and her assistant never missed a beat. They captured our day so perfectly. They had their camera in hand from start to finish and the work speaks for itself - beyond beautiful!! The aesthetics and quality of their work is unlike anything else I’ve seen. My husband and our families will cherish these captured memories forever!

The photos and video we received from Bonphotage were everything we hoped they would be and more. They will certainly be shared and hung on our walls for years to come. The photographers and videographer were extremely friendly and helpful, offering amazing guidance on how to get the best shots and angles. Ultimately they captured the magic of the day so well that looking at the photos is like reliving the wedding all over again! The finished product was worth every penny we paid.

Where do I begin?! Lynzie has always made me feel comfortable in front of the camera from the day I met her! My fiancé felt the same energy during our engagement shoot and we couldn’t imagine our wedding day without her. She is meticulous and it shows in her work. If you are ever looking for a photographer to catch raw emotions with the glam.. always choose Lynzie! ✨

Lynzie and her team were phenomenal! I talked with the Bonphotage team in advance and shared how my photos were the MOST important part of my wedding vendors. And they completely rose to the occasion - they are VERY busy so it's important to communicate with them early on in case they are traveling/shooting busy season. Lynzie made my husband and I feel so comfortable and I was able to share some of my "inspo" photos with her. She nailed it. There are too many good ones to choose from :) Still waiting on my videography, but I'm positive that will be phenomenal as well. I loved having the team there on my special day - they were calm, cool, relaxed, and truly not intrusive at all! My bridal party all commented on how easy and smooth things went with photos compared to other weddings. Plus... she turned my entire gallery around in a month which is crazy in comparison to how long some of my other friends waited. We LOVE BONPHOTAGE and cannot wait to use them for other exciting life events in the future. Thank you Lynzie! XOXOXOXO

The entire Bonphotage team is insanely talented. We ended up going with both photography and videography and we are so glad that we did! Enas and Sammy were the photographers the day of our wedding and they could not have done a better job. The photos look like they came straight out of a wedding magazine. Lynzie was also incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process, answering any questions we had and helping us decide on the best photo and video packages. If you are considering Bonphotage, I would not hesitate on booking with them. They will capture your day in the most beautiful way so you can relive it over and over again!

Lynzie and the Bonphotage company is a complete SCAM. I can’t disclose my identity because of a clause in her contract which ensures that nobody can leave a negative review. If you do, or attempt to, they immediately send a cease and threaten to sue you. The proof is in ALL of their 5 star reviews. They don't ONE negative review because of this. I am actually a close family member of one of the brides and I live in New York so I'm not scared of her potential legal backlash like she's given to so many other clients. Prior clients and customers of hers are terrified of being entangled in lawsuits. If you don’t believe me, read your contract with her and the provision is within. You, your family member or anyone else you know is not allowed to leave a bad review. There are numerous clients taking Lynzie and Bonphotage to court because of their nefarious and slimy business practices. Keep typing in Bonphotage when you search Cook County records and you'll see them. One of which has recently won. This is the link. https://cookcountyrecord.com/stories/539767399-case-activity-for-alyssa-deolitsis-vs-bonphotage-llc-on-june-16. Lynzie herself is a former lawyer, her husband is currently a corporate lawyer, and one of her own photographers is an attorney so when issues and disputes arise between their clients, their legal representation is free and it's easy for them to sue. There are countless stories of Lynzie faking having covid or getting injured so she personally doesn't have to shoot your wedding. Instead, she will send out a sub-average independent contractor photographer who is contracted by her. They're NOT an employee of the company, they are contractors. It is VERY rare Lynzie shoots a wedding herself unless it is abroad. She actually prefers to shoot weddings abroad so she can bring her family along and naturally the client pays for their stay while abroad so it becomes a cheap vacation for Lynzie and her family subsidized by the client. During the height of covid, venues were only allowing up to 50 people maximum to be at the wedding. So when clients went to reschedule with her because they wanted more of their family to be able to attend their wedding, she kept clients down payments when it was time to reschedule and claimed that the law said they could technically still have the wedding even though it was less people so it had to be on that day. If the couple chose not to have it on that day then Lynzie would keep their down payment. STAY AWAY from this unethical and shady business. They are the worst "Photography" Company you could ever want on your wedding day.

Serena, Lynzie and their whole team were amazing! Our photos are absolutely stunning - from the engagement photos through the wedding. We could not have been more thrilled with how they turned out and will help us cherish our wedding memories forever. Serena was incredible to work with in understanding our personalities and making the photos so natural. She was fun when we were getting ready and our little details photos are WOW. We also used them for video and had an amazing experience with Lynzie working with us to make sure it was what we wanted. Highly recommend!!

We were thrilled with how our engagement photos turned out with bonphotage! From the time we contacted them, they were super responsive and took time to explain their entire process, and have been transparent about the timeline, costs, etc. Their communication is top notch and we've had a great time working with their team. Our engagement photo shoot was so easy - we were definitely nervous, but Serena made us feel comfortable and knew where to take the best photos for us. We loved working with Serena. Plus, their combination of digital and film surpassed our expectations - the colors, angles, and everything that went into making this photos exactly what we hoped for and more was perfect. Working with Lynzie and Serena has been such a great experience so far and we can't wait to have them photograph our wedding in April!

I have no words but WOW to express how I feel about how our engagement pictures turned out! Lynzie was very professional and personable, we were a little nervous at first and she made us feel very comfortable during the entire session! She was flexible in adding time so we could have pictures with two different outfits and very punctual. Our edits were done exactly when she said they would be and I don’t think there is a single picture we didn’t like! We are very excited to have her do our entire wedding day June 2023!! Thank you Lynzie, we cannot wait to meet the rest of your team! Love, Ian & Colleen

WOW. Just WOW!! I honestly can't say enough good things about Lynzie and her team at Bonphotage. Lynzie was always so professional and responsive. She was so easy to work with for the contracting process. During the wedding day, she did an amazing job capturing every single one of our important moments!! We have big families, and she expertly kept everyone organized during the family portraits. Lynzie struck the perfect balance between making sure we looked good by offering advice on poses, while still making us feel completely candid and natural! We barely even noticed that our pictures were being taken all night long! And when we started falling behind our timeline, Lynzie and her associate stayed late to capture all of our special dances!! They were literally a dream team. So much fun to work with and such great customer services throughout the entire process. And the best part - the pictures are absolutely BREATHTAKING!! STUNNING!! We knew Lynzie and her team were incredible from looking at their portfolio online, but the photos surpassed our already very high expectations in literally every way!! We couldn’t be happier. We will cherish these images for the rest of our life!! Do yourself a favor and hire Bonphotage!!

As a biracial couple, photographing differing skin tones, especially next to each other, can be difficult. The team from Bonphotage, Sara Valenti and Brian Fuentes, did an excellent job. They captured my wife and me beautifully. Our photos were gorgeous, and they captured our special day. We can't thank Bonphotage enough.

As a bride when you have 100 things to worry about on the wedding day you can guarantee that she has every important moment captured with her experience. We cannot thank the team enough for the most incredible photos. My heart races each moment I take a glimpse at our beautiful memories from the best day of our lives!! Thank you again to Bonphotage and Lynzie!

I first heard about Bonphotage through my wedding planner. Upon looking at their Instagram and website, I was immediately blown away. There is just something different about their work – anyone who looks at it can tell. I noticed immediately how stunning their style was; their pictures are beautiful, light, airy, real. They use actual film which is so unique. I was initially a little naïve as to how popular Bonphotage was; in fact, I didn’t even notice that they had 50,000+ followers on Instagram until my mom pointed it out. I will be honest that looking at all of the luxury weddings that they photograph and their almost constant Style Me Pretty publications was intimidating. Don’t get me wrong, I had a very nice wedding planned that certainly wasn’t cheap, but it was by no means as luxurious as many of these other weddings that they photograph, and I certainly can’t pass as a runway model the way some of their other brides can. I bring this up because I think it is important to know that regardless of having a “luxury” wedding or not, the Bonphotage team will make you feel like the most beautiful, most important thing to them on your wedding day, as well as before and after. The photos and videos from your wedding day are some of the only things that you get to really keep after the big day. The flowers die, dresses get preserved and put in the back of a closet never to be worn again, and invitations and programs get put in a box to be forgotten about and eventually lost in the basement. Photos and videos, however, will forever be there to remind you of one of the most important days of your life. They can literally take you back to those moments and remind you of how special it was. So, photography and videography is well worth the investment – especially with Bonphotage. Like many others, our first wedding had to be postponed due to Covid. Lynzie, the owner, was gracious in working with me to find a new date for the following year. Lynzie is extremely professional, kind, and you can tell she has a true passion for what she does. Serena, the other lead photographer, did both our engagement session as well as our actual wedding day. She is awesome! She is so nice, easy going, and very obviously talented. It unfortunately rained on our wedding day, and she (along with the rest of the Bonphotage team) did an amazing job of making sure that the weather did not ruin our photo opportunities. Seriously, the pictures turned out incredible. No one believes me when I say that they were literally taken in the rain. I have absolutely no idea how I will narrow down the pictures that I want printed in an album or to hang up in our home; I really love them all. Not only that, but Serena really felt like a friend on our wedding day. At one point, she was literally picking something out of my eyelashes! Lynzie got all of the pictures to us in just 22 days. I have other friends who got married this year and had to wait months for their pictures! Our video turned out beautifully as well. Overall, I was extremely happy with my choice in photographer and videographer. The only thing I could have possibly done differently was to extend their hours later into the reception; I would recommend that any of their brides consider this. I look forward to working with Lynzie and Serena again in the future (they do family pictures too)!!

Lynzie and her team were so incredible from the start to finish! I first reached out to Lynzie almost 2 years prior to our wedding. She was very detailed and professional that I immediately knew I wanted her and her team to photograph my husband and I. She quickly calmed all my nerves of selecting the perfect photographer and videographer to capture our special moments. I knew I could fully trust her and her team.
Because of Covid and the lack of wedding in 2020, Lynzie took a road trip with her family to different venues along the east coast. It just happened to luck out that I had just moved in with my fiancé in Virginia at the same time she was in the state! I immediately messaged her seeing if we could do our Engagement photos and she made it happen! Despite the stormy weather prior to arriving at the location, the rain stopped just as we got there and Lynzie made magic happen with her camera! The photos were so incredible, and it was such a wonderful experience working with her. Lynzie was so quick and easily positioned us to capture the best photos; everything felt so natural working with her. I still gush over our engagement photos over a year later.
Serena was the lead for our wedding, and she was just as equally as wonderful! Her and the team arrived on the location and immediately took in their surroundings and dove right into capture every great moment! Serena was the perfect combination of calming and firm; she made us feel very at ease while also leading us with excellent direction and even calling out some groomsmen to make sure they had everything removed from their pockets to make sure the photo was perfect! She has an excellent eye for all the details; she made sure everything was in place and there were no random objects in the way before capturing the perfect shot. She and the team swiftly and precisely captured our day all while on a very narrow timeline and with such great positive energy.
Both my husband and I were so blown away and pleased when we saw our wedding photos! I knew the photos were going to be great, but when I saw them, they blew all my expectations out of water! We are going to have a very difficult time selecting our favorites; they all are. Also, you know you have incredible photos when your husband is showing them off to his colleges! The sneak peek for our wedding video I keep on repeat! It brings me such happiness to be able to watch it over and over reliving our special day over again and again.
I truly cannot emphasize enough how wonderful the Bonphotage team is. We will cherish these photos, videos, and memories Bonphotage captured forever more. Thank you so much - Abigail and Jason

Bonphotage photography could not have been more perfect to capture our special day! I had an initial consultation call with Lynzie and immediately felt so comfortable, like I had known her my whole life. She did our engagement photos and made us feel so confident, despite freezing temps. The pictures turned out so beautiful, we couldn’t have asked for more! Serena shot our wedding day and blew us away with how the photos turned out. They were better than we could have ever imagined. Serena acted as more than a photographer- she kept the day moving smoothly all while being assertive, calm and such a positive light to be around. Our photos were emailed to us LESS THAN A MONTH after our wedding! I truly could not have asked for a better experience and am so grateful for all of the beautiful photos of our wedding day that we will forever cherish. Lynzie and Serena are such a powerful duo that I would recommend to anyone.

Words cannot express how grateful we are to have worked with Serena on our wedding day. She is calming, upbeat, and she makes the entire experience fun. We were speechless when we saw the final photos - Serena is so talented and finds the perfect balance of getting some traditional wedding photos while also finding opportunities to capture some with a more modern twist. We have had the hardest time choosing which photos to print, there are just too many favorites! For the brides out there, Serena looks out for you like she is one of your best gal pals. She will hold your dress, adjust your hair, give you gentle direction, and make you feel beautiful!

The BonPhotage team was so wonderful to work with and I hope to be able to call Lynzie and Serena for our next life events.

If you are looking for a sign to book Bonphotage for your wedding day photography and videography needs…this is it. My fiancé, Matt, and I were in a tight spot and found Bonphotage via The Knot just 48 hours before our wedding. We quickly jumped on a call with Lynzie who was kind, professional, and very helpful! We then had a meeting with our lead shooter, Serena, less than 24 hours later. This team’s organization and communication is truly fantastic!! The day of the wedding Serena wore many hats. She was so much more than an amazing photographer. She looked out for me like a bridesmaid by ensuring every hair was in place and that I was comfortable. Additionally, she was incredibly efficient and quick on her feet like a wedding planner evidenced by keeping us on track with our tight timeline and pivoting when our photo location was closed. I also need to give a huge shout out to Irene for capturing the groomsman at our home prior to the ceremony! Finally, Allen (videography) you are spectacular!! We cannot wait to see your finished product! I love the candid moments that the Bonphotage team were able to capture. I am extremely thankful that they provided romantic and timeless wedding media that isn’t only beautiful but evokes the feelings we had on that day. Thank you Bonphotage team for capturing our wedding day in the most beautiful light!!

Working with Bonphotage and team was absolutely amazing!!! First off, Lynzie and the Bonphotage team were extremely knowledgeable on the wedding industry and were able to provide value immediately with vendor recommendations. This was key since I didn't have a wedding planner and was not familiar with the wedding industry. Once I finalized our vendor list, Lynzie was always available for quick questions/timeline help as our day got closer. Bonphotage arrived on our wedding day very promptly and was extremely professional. The Bonphotage team was very experienced with our venue and they knew all the best shots/angles/lighting to get beautiful photos to last a lifetime!!! We ended up using Bonphotage for photography and video and couldn't be happier with the end result!!! My family and friends continue to compliment how beautiful our wedding photos turned out. Highly recommend working with the Bonphotage team!!!

If you're reading this, you're probably looking for a wedding photographer. Congratulations, the search is over. Lynzie and her team at Bonphotage are incredible from the first phone call, last minute questions, day of logistics, sending along sneak peaks, and finally to handing over your complete gallery.
You've seen how she photographs other bride's dream days, GORGEOUS. Now imagine that she hands over an entire gallery of photos with details that you picked out, your friends, your family, you and your husband, there are not words for this feeling. Amazing, professional, inspiring, they come close but still fall short of the Bonphotage magic.

I don't know where to begin with this review. My expectations were completely exceeded by Lynzie and her team!! Planning a wedding during 2020 was not ideal at all. However, Lynzie was always so responsive and understanding throughout the changes we had to make. It took so much stress off our backs. Even the week before the wedding, we changed our timeline a bit and added some time to the day. While she was not available for our 2021 date, we had the absolute pleasure of working with Maria, G, and Randy. Together they were able to capture our wedding through photographs and video. We received the sneak peaks and the full gallery soo quickly! The photos left me completely speechless. I am so honored to have been able to have Bonphotage be apart of our day. These photos and videos will last us a lifetime and always remind us how perfect May 1, 2021 was.
I would recommend Bonphotage 1000%!! And I will be planning on using them 5 or 10 years down the road for vow renewals :)

We cannot say enough positive things about Lynzie, Maria and the Bonphotage team! The happiness and joy of our big day was captured absolutely perfectly - we'll forever cherish our photos from this team. From the very first conversation we had with Lynzie to post-wedding, everything was handled with such professionalism, responsiveness and understanding (especially with COVID this year) - she was so great to work with. On the wedding day itself, Maria was our photographer, and we absolutely loved working with her! She was also professional, organized, and continuously was checking in to make sure that we were getting all of the shots that we wanted from our big day. Our photos were delivered quickly post-wedding (in 3 weeks), and we are absolutely obsessed with all of them! The photos were a perfect mix of couple portraits, individual portraits, family/bridal party portraits, and candid/group shots with other wedding guests.

The bonphotage team is amazing! Lynzie took our engagement photos and will photograph our wedding. Lynzie is professional, personable, and truly has an eye for perfection. Prior to booking with Bonphotage, Lynzie answered all our questions in detail. She was EXTREMELY flexible with scheduling and provided such great descriptions of photo locations. Our photos exceeded our expectations - we cannot be happier with how they turned out! If you want amazing photos taken by incredible photographers - please check out Bonphotage!

We had a great experience with Bonphotage throughout our wedding planning process. Lynzie was super flexible and helped us manage our many wedding plans and dates through COVID, and we ended up with a perfect team of photographers and videographers. Maria, Brian, and team did a great job of making us feel comfortable and like ourselves for our wedding photos (we didn't do an engagement shoot so we were rookies!). The team also handled our large, energetic wedding party with ease! We absolutely love how all of the photos turned out. The aesthetic is perfect for us and we love that they shoot on film -- the photos in the church are to die for. Our video sneak peak is also amazing and is the perfect reflection of our day. Every moment that was important to us is captured for us to relive all over again. Thanks again to the entire team!

The attention, time, detail, thought, and talent of the Bonphotage team is truly incredible!! They did such a wonderful job capturing special moments between us, our friends and family, the venue, and all of the little details of our day. It’s really wonderful and so special!
It has an extra special meaning for us because we can share this with our friends and family that weren’t able to be there and can hopefully make them feel like they were still part of it.
We are so happy and thankful for everything they have done. It’s so wonderful to relive the day as it is - but it's a BIG thank you to the Bonphotage team as we’re able to do that with their beautiful photos and incredible video!

I can’t say enough positive things about Bonphotage. Lynzie was great to work with coordinating all things, especially during Covid and all of the changes that we had to make.
Serena was so pleasant to work with all day. She gave us direction and made us feel so comfortable.
I highly recommend the Bonphotage team if you want perfect, stunning photos!

Lynzie did a AMAZING job on our engagement photos. I was so nervous prior to our photos and Lynzie made us feel comfortable and at ease. She was right on time and came prepared. Our engagement photos turned out beautiful and we couldn't be happier! We cant wait to work with the Bonphotage team for our wedding day!

Lynzie absolutely knocked it out of the park with our engagement photos. I was terrified to take them because I'm always so critical of myself and get really uncomfortable when I know there's a camera around, but from the start Lynzie made us feel so comfortable and was so warm & genuine. We just our engagement photos back and I can't stop looking at them! They turned out absolutely beautiful and are exactly the vibe I wanted. It's been a tough year for us #coronabrides but Bonphotage has gotten me excited for our wedding again :) thank you!!

Absolutely loved working with Bonphotage! The entire team did a fantastic job from start to finish at capturing our photo and video for our wedding. What blew me away in receiving our photos back from the wedding was the amount of special “little” moments they captured… my dad absolutely beaming while looking out at our guests as he gave his toast, the bridal party all walking candidly together like they were on a movie set, my husband waiting for me at the altar with an unforgettable grin, and us as a couple enjoying every second that we had in that day. The team also brought such great creativity to the table which blew any vision I had for our photos/ video out of the water. Lynzie, Serena, Brian— you were so easy to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the cameras, thank you x 1,000,000!!!

Lynzie and the Bonphotage team are extremely talented, professional, personable, and reliable. Due to COVID, my husband and I decided to have a mini ceremony this year and our reception our on our year anniversary, but we really wanted to have professional photos from our special day this year. Lynzie and her team were extremely accommodating by allowing us to split our time between both events, and she even helped me as I was planning my timeline for the day by giving helpful advice and tips.
Gatra (G) was our photographer, and he was beyond amazing!! Talented, extremely friendly, and so prompt and professional. I was pleasantly surprised to see that he had my Pinterest board of inspiration photos ready on his phone, and his lock screen was my timeline that I sent Lynzie! He was also so flexible as our timeline kept changing, and he got all of the shots we hoped for! I loved his creative energy, and his genuine love for photography was evident. Those big smiles in our pictures were a combination of that new marriage glow and excitement, but also of laughter from G hyping us up and making the experience so much fun (which was SO nice because my husband is typically not a fan of getting his photos taken).
Additionally, Lynzie always impresses me with her responsiveness! We had some questions related to the photos once we received them, and she promptly addressed and resolved our concerns. She really represents her company well!
If you choose Bonphotoage as your photographers, you are guaranteed beautiful, classic, fine art photographs. You are guaranteed a personable, personalized, professional experience. And on top of that, if you choose Bonphotage as your photographers, you join the Bonphotage family, which is a community I am proud to be apart of! Not only is Bonphotage extremely talented, but they are also a socially responsible, diverse, and inclusive company!! What more could you ask for?! Bonphotoage is an investment definitely worth making.
We look forward to having them to capture our reception next year!

Wow wow wow! Lynzie is bar none the most talented photographer I have worked with. (Even before COVID, my husband/"fiancé" and I had two other engagement shoots--in addition to our minimony in June 2020. While the other photographers were without question very talented, Lynzie has both the eye and ethereal aesthetic I was looking for.
We could not be more pleased with how our engagement photos turned out and are so excited to work with her and the rest of the Bonphotage team come our (we hope) larger wedding in May 2021.

Lynzie & her team are so great! My fiancé & I booked Lynzie as our wedding photographer before COVID. & we have made many changes along the way- but we are so grateful that Lynzie has been accommodating to our changes! Our engagement photos came out great, & can't wait to work with her & her team again in June 2021!

Lynzie is amazing to work with! In the midst of COVID, wedding planning is extra difficult but Lynzie’s calm demeanor and flexibility has alleviated so much stress from the process. Then we received the photos back from our engagement shoot and we haven’t been able to stop looking them. Photography was one of the most important decisions and we know we made the right one by going with Lynzie. We had so much fun at the engagement shoot that it only makes us look forward to our big day that much more! If Lynzie is available for your wedding day, book her ASAP!

Thank you so much Lynzie and the Bonphotage team for your AMAZING work! Planning a wedding during a global pandemic isn’t easy, but Lynzie and her team helped us every step of the way. While our big celebration at The London West Hollywood must wait until next year, we decided to honor our original date with an intimate ceremony in our backyard, and Bonphotage captured the day perfectly! We absolutely love the photos! They are beautiful, artistic, elegant - we could go on and on. We’re seriously trying to choose ones to use as our Facebook/IG profile pics, but there are too many good ones to choose from! We are so happy that we chose to go with Bonphotage. Not only are the photos stunning, but Lynzie and her team could not have been more accommodating during this pandemic - from providing helpful ideas when the lockdown began, working with us on backup dates, being patient with us as we went back and forth (and back and forth again) on whether to honor our original date, and making sure everything ran smoothly on our big (yet intimate) day. We cannot wait until they can capture our big celebration next year!

We can’t thank the team at Bonphotage enough! We just got our engagement pictures and are just in love! Every shot is better than the last, and perfectly captures our love. We will have such a hard time picking our favorites! We can’t wait to spend our big day with Bonphotage in a little over a month!

Wow, where do I begin?! Well planning a wedding is stressful, planning a wedding during a global pandemic is even more stressful. You know what isn’t stressful? Hiring one of the, if not THE best photography companies. This team is incredibly talented, to the point where my fiancé and I had so many beautiful options to choose from for our engagement pictures that we couldn’t pick and had to bring in our parents to help decide for save the dates because they all were that amazing. We are so excited for our wedding day and know that regardless of the status of the world Lynzie and her team will shoot the most incredible pictures and video footage capturing our love! We will cherish these forever!!! Thank you thank you Bonphotage and we cannot wait for 2021!

If you haven't booked a photographer yet...look no further! Bonphotage is the best. They not only gave us amazing quality photos but truly captured every moment of our day. We had a winter wedding in a hotel and the weather limited our plans to go to different locations but Lynzie and her team were able to use their artistic abilities to ensure we got a wide range of photos. Our friends and family can't stop raving about our photos! We could not be happier with how everything turned out. I highly recommend you book Bonphotage to capture your big day. You won't regret it!

Photography was a top priority for our wedding and I have to say, I definitely held Bonphotage to some high standards upon hiring them. But Serena and her Bonphotage team delivered and then some. They are incredibly professional, thorough, communicative, and, most importantly, take beautiful photos. We also used them for videography and, from the footage, editing, to the music pairing, it was more wonderful than I could've ever imagined. We are so grateful to Serena and Bonphotage and look forward to treasuring our photos and videos for the rest of our lives.

The compliments don't stop coming! Our wedding photos are so beautiful and it's no surprise --we knew they would be by looking through her work.
We had a pretty short engagement and were incredibly lucky that Lynzie was available on our wedding date, since Bonphotage can book out very quickly (even years!) in advance. She provided guiding pictures that were super helpful to me. We also appreciated how quickly our pictures were delivered to us -- I would highly recommend Bonphotage to anyone!

Lynzie is so wonderful to work with and so is her team. Julia captured my fiance and I's best moments together during our engagement shoot in Laguna Beach and I honestly cannot get over how amazing the pictures are! We aren't typically photogenic people and Julia helped us right through that. I would highly recommend working with Lynzie and her team. Can't wait until our wedding!

Good photography was very important for our wedding. Wanted to ensure we would love these photos forever. It was the first vendor we booked after the venue. I was deciding between a few different options, but I’m so glad I went with Bonphotage.
Lynzie did our engagement photos about a year before our wedding. It was great to get to work with her prior to the wedding and get used to being photographed. We loved the results and I knew I had made the right choice.
Lynzie is great at directing and is efficient and no nonsense. It’s helpful to have her tell us exactly what to do and correct anything to get the perfect shots. Even when poses felt awkward or too staged, she reassured us and of course the photos did turn out amazingly beautiful.
Her team also was flexible and stayed later than planned at our wedding to get a few night skyline shots that were well worth the extra time and $$. Everyone has said our photos are stunning, and they truly are fine art.

My fiance and I are THE MOST excited to be working with Lynzie for our wedding! We took engagement photos last month and the pictures came out so beautifully!! The lighting, the poses, the whole ambiance, we're in love with all of it. In the wedding planning process family and friends have so many opinions and it can feel like nothing you pick is going to win people over. But hands down these engagement photos are winning over everyone!! People are loving them and keep complimenting our photographer, so I feel like this should be a 5x5 star review! Lynzie is so talented and made us feel at ease and and like ourselves even though the whole process can feel a little awkward at first. I know I'll have nerves about other aspects of our wedding, especially on the day itself, but I can honestly say I am not worried at all about this choice. I know we're going to have amazing photos from our big day for years to come. We are thrilled to be working with the Bonphotage team and can't wait for August 2020!

Lynzie made engagement photos a breeze! She was very prepared and showed us pictures of suggestions making it easy to pose. She was very fluid in making the process as smooth as can be. She provided a variety of different pictures to make sure we could have everything we ever wanted. She was also very prompt in delivering the photos about two weeks after the shoot. We cannot wait to have her at our wedding!!! I cannot stop looking at our pictures and smiling!

I am completely honored to give Bonphotage 5 stars (I would give so much more if I could!!). From the very beginning, Lynzie was extremely responsive and professional. You know the feeling you get when you find “the dress”—how you just know that it is the one? Well, that is exactly how I felt after speaking with Lynzie and looking at her beautiful work. I love how she and her team captures such pure, light, and airy photos that truly tell a beautiful love story.
My fiancé and I were both were both a little nervous before our engagement photos because we’ve never done a photo session before, but Lynzie helped guide us and give us suggestions all while capturing the candid moments and letting our true selves shine through as well. On top of being extremely talented, Lynzie is incredibly friendly, personable, and makes people feel good. My fiancé (who hates taking photos) left the session expressing how much fun he had!
We just got our photos today with a quick turn around, and they are beyond stunning—I adore every single photo and how she captured our love so beautifully!! Lynzie is a true artist, and you are destined to get wonderful photos if you choose her and Bonphotage as your photographers! I will FOREVER be recommending Bonphotage to everyone I know!! Photography was the one thing throughout this entire process that meant the most to me (even more than the venue!) and it was an investment that I am so incredibly thankful that I made. I know that we are in great hands with Bonphotage as our photographers for our wedding day!!

We had the pleasure of having Lynzie photograph our wedding and the day before in Italy. The pictures are stunning! Lynzie was very focused and thoughtful in our sessions with her. Not a minute was wasted! I love that she was aware of what we were comfortable with and made us feel at ease the whole time. She kept saying "Don't worry- this may seem ridiculous but trust me, the pictures will be amazing!" and they were. I am so happy we chose Lynzie to document the best day of our lives! We have our best memories caught on film thanks to her.

Kicking off the next 100 5-star reviews for bonphotage! There's no question why you choose bonphotage--their artistry is beyond beautiful! Lynzie was so helpful when we started exploring photography for our big day, and we (but especially my film major husband) LOVED that she specialized in film photography. She also loaned her expertise when it came to scheduling our day to ensure we had the best timeline for photos. We were lucky to have Kyle (for rehearsal dinner and wedding) and Amara (for wedding) capturing our family and friends. They went beyond our expectations, capturing all the little moments on a day that went by too quickly. Receiving their photos was like having another celebration of our marriage--it brought us so much joy to be able to see our friends and family together in one place celebrating our union. 100 times over again, I would ask bonphotage to be part of our life's major moments. They're just the best!

Honored to be the 100th FIVE STAR review!
Lynzie's ethereal, romantic style and her mix of digital + film speaks for itself. She captured our day in the same way as I remember it, which was important to me—to be able to look at our photos and feel the same emotions and joy that we felt that day.
Style and photos aside, Lynzie and her team are absolute pros. They managed to keep a constantly running-late family with four girls on schedule while staying flexible and making the whole process easy for everyone. My husband and I didn't do an engagement session, so we met Lynzie and her team the day of the wedding. Never had a doubt in my mind that they would deliver above and beyond based on my prior conversations with Lynzie and seeing her work. For all the visual people out there or those not as experienced doing posed photos, I loved how Lynzie showed us references on her phone of poses to try and helped direct us during our couples photos. We also had two other wedding parties waiting at the same location to take photos while we were doing ours, but Lynzie and her team held it DOWN, and made sure we didn't feel rushed and got everything we needed.
This may be the first review I've ever written for anything, but Bonphotage is just that good. HIGHLY recommend, and thank you again to Lynzie and team.

Photography was a high priority for our wedding. I designed/planned everything, so we wanted every detail to be captured in the best possible way AND we wanted to find someone we could trust to take over so I could relax and enjoy the day. Lynzie and Emma nailed it. WE ARE IN LOVE. Our wedding pictures are stunning, and I’m honestly not shocked at all. I knew the moment I saw film photographs by Bonphotage that Lynzie and her team would capture our wedding day. You all, you get film and digital photos - the best of both worlds! Maybe I’m the only artsy nerd that cares about this, but they compliment each other so well, and it makes your wedding photos even more special! The digital photos are light and airy and the film photos are so honest and authentic. In a world where everyone tries to make themselves look perfect with photoshop, Bonphotage captures the moments people feel most beautiful. We are getting compliments left and right and it’s well deserved! I also want to add that Lyznie convinced my husband and I to do a first look, and trusting her was easily the best decision of my life. I will cherish those photos for the rest of my life, and I have her to thank for that. I could go on and on about how much I love Bonphotage (I will seriously use them forever), but words will never express how thankful I am to have worked with them. They are sweet, personable, dedicated, and have a vision that can’t be matched. Photographs last forever, the investment is worth it and Bonphotage won’t disappoint. Endless thank you’s for such an incredible team!!!

Bonphotage was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Photos were one of my biggest priorities for my wedding day, and as I began my search I kept coming across the beautiful, light, airy photos by Bonphotage. Being one of the only things that last, I would 100% recommend that you invest in having Bonphotage taking your wedding photos. Not only do they take bomb photos, but they're all super nice! You will not regret it!
We had the privilege of working with Lynzie for our engagement photos and Selycia and Kyle for our wedding. Before we got Bonphotage to be our photographers, we started with a phone call with Lynzie, and she was upfront and honest. She took our engagement photos when she was extremely pregnant but was SO so chill and so accommodating to us. I think that Lynzie taking photos of us while pregnant just really spoke of her character and how hardworking she is. My husband and I are definitely not very comfortable in front of the camera, but Lynzie was very helpful with poses and helping us feel comfortable. The photos she took were amazing!
Our wedding team was AMAZING. They were so so accommodating and friendly. Selycia and Kyle were with us all day and they were the nicest team to have, especially on such as special, important day. The two of them made sure they got every shot and went above and beyond in order to photograph all the special moments. I was kind of the unconventional bride and wanted to have colored smoke for our bridal party photos, and Kyle and Selycia were SO fun to work with. They had never shot/experienced colored smoke before, but were adventurous and willing to try it out just to make me happy. They made sure I was taken care of and ultimately made sure they captured all the details to our wedding day.
I cannot express my gratitude and joy enough of having worked with Bonphotage and know that they will not disappoint!
