Documenting love stories in digital and film formats + super 8
Deeply inspired by the feeling of rummaging through old boxes of imperfect photographs dug out of the basement, Bella Chavez Photography exists to tell stories as they unfold, honestly and artistically.
Inspired by warmth, romance, and a tad bit of nostalgia
The approach
Feeling the worm out creases and coffee stains while knowing that these moments were cherished deeply, together we'll create photos that you'll want to hold onto for life – sentimental heirlooms if you will.
Each wedding is different and unique. That is why I offer packages for small intimate weddings that fall under the 4-5 hour coverage mark along with bigger weddings with 8-10 hours worth of coverage. Add-ons are also optional and custom destination wedding packages are available too.
Please note, a complimentary engagement session is included in all of my wedding packages.
Starting at: $2000 CAD
Documenting yours and your partner's special day
Weddings
Relive your special day in an artful, romantic and filmy way with Super 8 Film. Super 8 allows you to have that nostalgic feeling of your day captured on a vintage camera. The camera itself is a work of art and utilizing this film format will give off that warm and unique vibe to your sessions or wedding celebrations.

Step cinco – Your photos will be carefully looked after as I begin the editing process. Wedding packages will receive sneak peeks and will be sent throughout the week. Turn around time for your whole edited gallery is around 10-12 weeks and 3-4 weeks for lifestyle sessions.
Step cuatro – Your special day is finally here! We'll celebrate your love and capture every moment.
Step tres – Leading up to your day, we will meet once again via phone or video call to go over all the details and timeline.
Step dos – If we both believe we are a right fit for each other, I will send you a contract for you to sign and an invoice. Please note, I require a 35% non refundable deposit for weddings and 50% for lifestyle sessions. Once that is all signed and deposited, your date is booked! Let the fun part of planning your day begin.
Fill out my inquiry form to share with me your desired session details and vision. I will respond within 24-48hrs. At this time, I will also share my wedding or session guide with you and perhaps hop on a call to get to know each other a little bit better.
An honest retelling of your love story

Yes I do! Although my main focus is to capture your day with digital photography, all of my wedding packages include two rolls of film. I will distribute my day when it comes to using these two mediums and make sure each moment is captured authentically.
