Our Process |
Our process is designed to take the guess work out of choosing a wedding photographer and to make the wedding photography experience stress-free. To begin, you'll meet with one of our talented Photography Consultants. They will work with you to understand your vision of your day and your style. They'll also design a photography and album package that best suits your needs.
Based on your style, we will recommend a photographer. You will have the opportunity to review the photographer's work and biography. You have ultimate control in approving which photographer shoots your wedding. We have a 96% first time matching rate, which means that we do such a good job of listening to you that we generally get it right the first time. If for any reason you're not completely satisfied with the photographer we've assigned to you, we will continue to recommend alternatives until you are completely satisfied.
Once you determine that Bella Pictures is the fit for your wedding, a Photography Planner will work with you to help plan all of the details of your photography coverage. You'll work with your Planner all the way through to the completion of your wedding album.
The following timeline will help you to better understand the process of working with Bella:

Reserve Your Date
A $50.00 refundable reservation deposit secures your date for 30 days. Your reservation deposit will be applied to the total cost of your package. Compare this policy to most other photographers who require a 50% non-refundable retainer at the time of reservation!
Share Your Vision With Us
We'll learn about your wedding day and your style so that we can match you with a photographer and help you to customize your photography package. We'll help you to decide the length of time your photographer will work with you, the type of album you will want and the style of photography that will best suit you.
Agreement & First Deposit
We'll send out your agreement within days of the consultation and won't ask for your first deposit until 30 days after reserving with us. We ask for 50% of the total package cost for your first deposit.
Review Our Recommendation For Your Photographer
60 days before your wedding, we will present you with a photographer we believe will be ideal for your day. You'll see samples of their work and learn about their photography experience and background. Since we're photography experts, over 96% of brides are delighted with the first photographer we present. However, if we don't find the perfect match the first time, we'll work with you until we find the photographer that fits you best.
Check In / Introduction Call
Prior to your wedding, you'll speak with your photographer to review the important details of your day. You will discuss your vision for the photos, the schedule for your wedding day, and any must-have portraits. You will also review the location. It's very likely that we've shot at your venue before, so we can be a great help in brainstorming settings for the perfect picture.
Final Payment
The remaining balance of your payment is due 30 days prior to wedding.

Exceptional Photographers |
Bella's exceptional photography begins with exceptionally talented photographers. Our photographers are highly skilled and trained photojournalists. Before gaining Bella Certified status, each photographer undergoes a rigorous screening process, shooting several weddings under the tutelage of our Chief Photographer.
Bella photographers are the most award-winning in the wedding industry. Our accomplished team is comprised of photographers who have won Pulitzer Prizes, had their work featured in major publications, won industry awards like PDN Top Knots and have shot for celebrities like Tom Cruise, Oprah Winfrey and a number of other Hollywood names. In addition, our photographers are consistently recognized by magazines like Brides and Marie Claire and organizations like The Knot and Here Comes the Guide for their phenomenal work.
Each Bella photographer is accomplished in photojournalism which means that they're skilled at capturing the story of your wedding day as it unfolds.

- High quality images at lower costs
- Faster turnaround times
- Unlimited photography
- The ability to view your proofs 28 days after your wedding

Matching Your Style. |
Our Photography Consultants will listen to you and understand your style so that we can match you with the perfect photographer for your wedding.

At Bella, we use a multi-layered approach to helping to ensure that your photographer is matched to your style:
- Your Photography Consultant will help to assess your style in your initial meeting
- You will have the opportunity to use our proprietary Personal Style tools online where you'll rate your favorite images. This tool will provide us with a very clear understanding of your preferences and needs
