DREAM BELLA WEDDING EXPERIENCE

When it comes to WEDDINGS …

… we became hooked after the first one we photographed. The exhilaration, the people, the emotion, the love, the happiness, the fun/laughter, the quirky characters, the dancing, the beautiful details + the romance – a perfect canvas for our creative juices to paint free! We want to capture everything from the big moments through to the glorious details + intimate nanoseconds, with unique, natural, warm, authentic, romantic + stunning imagery that you will LOVE!  Over the past several years we feel extremely spoilt to have met + photographed some of the coolest, most beautiful + genuine people possible + for that we are forever grateful! We feel very privileged to have been featured in over 20 wedding magazines and blogs, but ….

… Client experience is our focus!

our focus has always been our couples and giving them the most amazing client experience possible.  I believe that when you choose us to capture your wedding and love story it is an honor and a privilege and for that reason whether your wedding or elopement is 2 hours or 10, I want to get to know you, your love story + your preferences because every couple is truly unique and I believe that good communication is key in getting to know what is most important to you for your special day.  The only risk is that I could possibly be more excited about your wedding than you are … yes really … so be prepared 😉 and you may end up with an Aussie/Canadian couple who now call themselves Mexicans who will consider you amigos for life!

TO SECURE YOUR DATE: we require a digitally signed Contract & $700 booking fee/deposit for weddings, easily arranged through our online client portal or Wise. Please note that the booking fee/deposit is non-refundable, however it is transferable to another date (if necessary).
• *Please note Wedding Collection prices are subject to change unless booking fee/deposit has been paid.
LOCATION/VENDOR FEES (If applic): Please note our packages do not include vendor fees: If your venue or getting ready locations are at an “All-Inclusive Resort” they may require you to pay them a Vendor Fee to allow your photographer access and permission to photograph you on their property.  (We do not benefit from this, this fee goes directly to your venue). Please note however, that  they sometimes waive their vendor fee if you have your photographer stay 2-3 nights at their resort at your group package rate instead (which usually works out to be much more cost effective especially for those of you who are having a wedding that is split between 2 or 3 days).  [For example: if your venue charges a vendor fee of say $1000 + meals per/day, if you pay for your photographer to stay 2-3 nights instead, this would already include all meals/permissions and may only cost a total of $1000 for the 3 days/2 nights.  Each venue is different but it is definitely worthwhile checking.
• *However, some venues do not charge vendor fees at all – like Private Villas, Boutique Hotels or Location only Venues.
• *We highly recommend checking with your venue before securing your date with them.
SHOULD I GO WITH THE RESORT PHOTOGRAPHER TO SAVE ON THE VENDOR FEE? This is a big question for some couples planning a destination wedding because often resort wedding packages include their in-house photographer for free and then the resort may charge extra for the actual photos after. Here are some things to consider:  Who will actually be photographing my wedding? Are they experienced or is this their first day? Do they speak English? Will I be able to contact them directly before and after the wedding to discuss my preferences/likes/dislikes? Will they have a personal responsibility to edit and deliver my photos in a timely manner or do they just take the photos on the day, hand over the memory cards to the resort and let someone else take responsibility for them.  Will the resort show me two or three full galleries taken by the photographer who will be assigned to my wedding so I can see the quality not just of a few nice photos but the full day story? How many photos will they include in my gallery and how much extra do they charge for the images?  How do I access them? Do they use professional photography equipment and have various back up equipment if something stops working?  We understand how much time, effort and expense goes into a wedding and that is why most couples view photography as one of the most important investments to capture all of those details, emotions and memories and keep them alive for generations to come! We will have your back!

Please note: some resorts charge couples a vendor fee to have an outside photographer photograph the event (this fee goes direct to the resort not us), but some resorts give you the choice to simply pay the vendor fee OR they will waive their vendor fee if you pay for your photographers to stay at the resort at your group rate for 2-3 nights.  In other words you end up paying the same or less to the resort but have the benefit of us being there for your welcome event, ready for your wedding the next day and includes all the meals. Win Win.  Please note though that all resorts have their own policies so you will need to check this with the Wedding Coordinator at your particular resort before booking your wedding package with them.
