How it started
De Belle Photography wasn’t born out of a business plan, but from a deep, soulful desire to capture the beauty and emotion of weddings in a way that feels both timeless and real.
Over 30 years ago, we set out with a simple yet profound mission: to document the raw emotions of one of the most important days of your life with a touch of fashion-forward creativity.
What we do is not just a job; it’s a vocation, a calling. Every morning, we wake up excited to spend an entire day with people, experiencing one of the most important moments of their lives. Our role is to “live it, breathe it, and experience it” with you, bringing our full presence and energy into the day.
From the tear-filled look between a mother and her son, to the proud father seeing his daughter in her wedding dress for the first time—we don’t just witness these moments, we feel them. The vows that choke us up, the laughter that fills the room, the lively drinking and partying to the wild dance moves from your closest friends, we’re there, right in the heart of it all, living and experiencing those moments like we’ve known you forever. It’s no surprise that many of our brides and grooms feel like we’re their best friends by the end of the day; after all, we’re all connected by this beautiful, shared experience.
It’s like an emotional high that we’ve become attached to, one that we chase every weekend.
We know that’s a lot to take in, but this is what we do—and how it feels. Our role is to capture the true essence of your wedding day, and it’s an honor we never take lightly. We’ve been fortunate to be part of over 3,000 weddings, each one teaching us something new about people, cultures, and communities, expanding our understanding and appreciation for the diversity of love. Now, as we enter the second generation of de Belle Photography, with Enya and Xavier de Belle taking on leadership roles, we look forward to what the future holds. We can’t wait to be part of your journey, too!
