Ingrid Bonne Photography

as able to capture our playfulness and love with such perfection. We met with Ingrid at our venue to do a walkthrough and collaborated on what kinds of pictures we wanted to capture. She brings such a bright, bubbly personality that our entire wedding party and family commented on. We then got to enjoy our over 1500 unique pictures and catch up with a viewing party after our wedding! If you are still looking for a photographer, stop your search and choose Ingrid! I know we will keep choosing Ingrid for all of our photography needs!

met our "style," and if their images were so authentic, they brought tears to my eyes. After talking with Ingrid for the first time, we knew she was our photographer. She's thoughtful, enthusiastic, interested and knows her photog and wedding stuff. Her packages were within our budget and an engagement session was included. We met with Ingrid 4 times: for the engagement photos, for a pre-wedding meeting, for the wedding day and for a viewing party when pics were ready. The engagement photos showed us just how talented Ingrid was - the weather was GOD AWFUL - think sleet, high winds, 10 degrees... and we decided to go to the lake front. If you look back at our pictures, you'd have no idea that we were frozen shaking near tears or that the weather conditions were so bad! Her editing was also super quick for these and we got tons of options and had multiple locations we shot at (three total). It was our first time being in front of a camera and Ingrid made us feel comfortable and knew exactly how to capture the vision we were looking for. About a month before our wedding, we met with Ingrid to discuss timeline. She helped us shape our timeline so we had time for all the portraits and shots we wanted. We had so much fun grabbing coffee and catching up! We told Ingrid from the start that we really wanted our creative vendors to take liberty , experiment and have fun - they are the experts and we trust their vision and style. We knew that we were in great hands with Ingrid and that we didn't need to micromanage ANYTHING and that we'd be taken care of. Our package included 8 hours, 2 photographers and an assistant. The day of the wedding, the team showed up and fit RIGHT in with me and my wedding party. The assistant was a godsend because our wedding party was pretty big and needed to be wrangled and she helped keep everything moving. Ingrid and her team worked efficiently and helped me keep it together if I got stressed about timeline. At the end of the night, we urged them to hang out with us after they were done shooting because we bonded with the team so much! Ingrid sent us a few sneak peaks the next day and they were better than anything we ever could have IMAGINED. Two months later, we went to Ingrid's studio to go through all the photos with her and have drinks/apps. Ingrid put together a beautiful presentation of all of our photos and we got to relive our day over some White Claws. We ended up staying after going through the pictures to chat for a couple hours. She gave us a flash drive and a link with our photos and she gave us 1600 PHOTOS!!! Sp much more than we'd ever thought we'd get - every detail captured for us to always be able to go back to our special day. We've already decided to do a shoot for our one year anniversary and part of that is because we want to see and hang out with Ingrid again! Such a great creative eye, detail oriented, SO TALENTED and experienced, great team and chemistry (like literally, Ingrid isn't our vendor - she is our FRIEND), absolutely amazing photos. Our officiant used to plan weddings in Chicago and has been around the scene for a while; he said our wedding pictures from Ingrid were the best wedding photos he has ever seen. You won't be disappointed!

her photography skills, we chose Ingrid because she was so extremely energetic and personal. She met with us twice before the big day to help build a personal relationship and camaraderie which made us feel at ease on our wedding day. Her second photographer, Michelle, and assistant, Danielle, were also very professional and attentive to detail. We received a lot of praise from our guests and bridal party on Ingrid and her team’s ability to make everyone feel so comfortable so quickly. Thank you Ingrid, Michelle, and Danielle for capturing our day and making us feel like rockstars!

the time to get to know her couples and you feel as if shes your best friend by the end of your wedding night. She made us feel very comfortable and kind of like mini celebrities. The photos turned out so beautiful. She has a very good eye...who knew posing in-front of a viaduct could be so glamours! She is very easy to work with, she is very friendly, and she is very accommodating to the pictures you want to capture on your wedding day. I would highly recommend Ingrid for all your photography needs!

and immediately connected with our entire wedding party. I never thought I would be able to have as much fun getting the pictures as we did, but she made the photography one of the most enjoyable aspects of the entire day. She has such a unique eye for composition of a picture that we got some truly remarkable shots all around town. While at the reception, she fit in so well that it truly felt like we had a friend who just happened to be taking (ridiculously amazing) pictures of the event. She genuinely cared about making our day perfect. It is impossible to rave about her enough, she is truly remarkable. Her other crew members were equally as fantastic! We love you Ingrid!

answer any questions we had, and to put us at ease on our wedding day. She took stunning engagement photos for us, and was so patient with our crazy dog who just would not sit for photos. As far as the wedding, our photos turned out more beautiful than we ever could have expected, Ingrid did such a phenomenal job of capturing the essence and the story of our day. I cannot recommend her enough, she was professional, fun, talented, and truly cares about her clients.

while she is amazing, we wanted her as a guest at our wedding and not working as our photographer. I was sad about this, but knew that we would have such a great time, that I put it aside. Then, Ingrid offered do shoot our engagement pictures as a wedding present to us! I was unbelievably excited and knew that the pictures would turn out great, but when I received them, I was blown away, they were better than I had ever imagined! She did such a wonderful job with our dog and with us, keeping us all relaxed, smiling and warm (very cold Chicago fall day)! I love Ingrid as a photographer, but the very best piece about her is that she becomes your friend! You can see a sampling of her pictures on my blog: http://itsabrideslife.com/photographers/kyro-and-the-irish/ http://itsabrideslife.com/photographers/more-engagement-pictures/ http://itsabrideslife.com/photographers/engagement-pictures-4/

se I know that this is the only thing you will have left of the day, aside from memories. So, with that in mind, I spent a lot of time researching. I met with both the large companies that assign you one of their many photographers, as well as many independents. I dragged my then fiancé to every meeting to his constant protests that each one was fine, and he couldn't tell the difference. Well I could, and I wasn't satisfied with what I was seeing. None of the larger outfits could guarantee me the perfect match, and while I liked some of the independent work, it was insanely expensive. By the time I found Ingrid Bonne, a referral from a referral, my fiancé had decided he could no longer join me on these expeditions all over town, as he didn't understand what I was looking for. When I met Ingrid, I knew I had found it. That "it" - that intangible quality that you only know when you find it. We had the perfect meshing of personalities and visions. And once I found "it", I was willing to pay for "it", too. The engagement shoot was a hoot, and my fiancé was starting understand why I held out. Now that we have actually gotten married and seen the photos, he totally understands. The work is exquisite, the colors pop, they are so fun to look at and literally relive the moments that are now captured forever. If you are looking for a photographer that is more than the average "smile and say cheese", Ingrid is the way to go.

t wasn't for them reminding us, there wouldn't be many photos of us! The ceremony and bridal party photos were simply amazing and truly captured the moment on camera! Ingrid's personality made it even better!
