BONNIE GILLIS
WEDDINGS
THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER
The photographs that matter most come from being present for the day as it unfolds.
Bonnie brings thoughtful direction when it helps, then steps back when the moment needs room to breathe, preserving the people, atmosphere, and emotion that made the celebration yours.
New York City Wedding Photographer
Bonnie Gillis creates editorial wedding photography for sophisticated celebrations in New York City and destinations around the world.
Yes, we want the scroll-stopping image. The one you'll frame. But also? The magic we love most is in the moments most people miss.
The difference between exceptional wedding photography and everything else comes down to this: presence. Bonnie doesn’t just document your day, she inhabits it. She reads the room, anticipates the laughter before it breaks, and captures the glances that even you didn’t know were happening. That’s how a gallery goes from beautiful to breathtaking.
The Wedding Experience
THE AESTHETIC
Our wedding photography style is modern-romantic: a balance of editorial polish and documentary honesty.
Guided by light and emotion, we create imagery that feels timeless, cinematic, and deeply personal.
THE APPROACH
From inquiry to gallery delivery, we craft a seamless experience rooted in ease, beauty, and intention.
Every step is designed to feel effortless, so you can be fully present while we capture the story as it unfolds.
THE COUPLES
We work with modern, relaxed couples who care about style and substance.
The ones who plan three-day weekends in Capri, but never forget the late-night pizza run. The ones who believe vows matter more than hashtags, and that elegance should feel effortless, even when it's not.
“Bonnie understood exactly what we were going for, editorial, elegant, nothing forced. She was calm on a day that was anything but, and the photos tell the story better than we ever imagined.”
— Natasha & David
Before the Wedding
Bonnie’s involvement begins long before the wedding day. From collaborative planning sessions and timeline guidance to styling consultations and venue walkthroughs, she ensures every detail is considered so nothing is left to chance. By the time the day arrives, you’ll feel completely at ease because Bonnie already knows your story.
The Wedding Day
On the day itself, Bonnie moves between active participant and quiet observer, clinking champagne glasses to draw out a genuine laugh in one moment, then disappearing completely to capture an unguarded embrace in the next. All-day coverage means no moment goes undocumented, from the first light of getting ready to the last dance of the evening.
After The Wedding
Your gallery is delivered with the same care and intention that went into capturing it. Every image is individually edited with Bonnie’s signature editorial style that is timeless, clean, and rich with emotion. Tailored album design is available to transform your favorites into a tangible heirloom you’ll revisit for generations.
Destination Wedding Photography
Based in New York City and available worldwide, Bonnie has photographed weddings from the French Riviera to the misty cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, from Martha’s Vineyard to the snow-dusted villages of St. Moritz. Destination weddings are among her greatest passions — there’s nothing quite like the magic of love against an unforgettable backdrop.
Bonnie provides everything from local venue insights and logistical coordination to wardrobe guidance and emotional support, ensuring your destination wedding feels as effortless as it looks. Whether it’s a clifftop ceremony in Positano or an intimate exchange of vows at a Tuscan vineyard, she brings the same editorial eye and warm, hands-on approach to every celebration, anywhere in the world.

QUESTIONS
Q. Do you photograph destination weddings outside New York City?
Absolutely and it's one of Bonnie's favorite things to do. She's based in New York City but photographs weddings worldwide. Travel logistics and fees are folded into your custom proposal, so there are no surprises — just beautiful images in an unforgettable setting.
Q. How many hours of wedding photography do we need?
Bonnie’s wedding collections include all-day coverage because the best moments don’t follow a schedule. Coverage typically begins with the quiet moments of getting ready and continues through the last song on the dance floor. Additional hours and multi-day coverage for wedding weekends are also available.
Q. How long does it take to receive our wedding photos?
Collections are customized for every couple and typically include planning collaboration, an engagement session, all-day wedding photography coverage, and a curated gallery with Bonnie’s signature editorial edit. Rather than a one-size-fits-all package, each collection is built around your vision, timeline, and the moments that matter most to you.
Q. What is included in your wedding photography collections?
Your full, individually edited wedding gallery is delivered within four weeks of your wedding day. Every image is refined with Bonnie’s signature editorial style, with sneak peeks delivered much sooner.
Q. Do you offer custom wedding albums?
Yes, and they’re worth it. Bonnie offers tailored album design to transform your gallery into a tangible heirloom you'll actually hold in your hands, not just scroll through on a screen.

Q. How involved are you in the wedding photography planning process?
Very. Once you’re booked, Bonnie becomes a trusted part of your planning team.
