Belle & Bee is for Every Love
Let's Tell Your Story
From the moment you reach out to the day your gallery lands in your inbox, we are with you every single step of the way. Here is exactly what working with Northwest Ohio's award winning wedding photography team looks like:
Step One: Let's Meet
Every journey begins with a complimentary consultation, your choice of a phone call, Zoom, or a coffee date because we are real people and we want to actually get to know you. We talk about your wedding day vision, your venue, your personalities, and what matters most to you. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just a real conversation to make sure we are the perfect fit for your day.
Step Two: Locking In Your Date
Once we decide we are meant to work together, we prepare your custom contract reflecting everything we discussed. To officially secure your wedding date on our calendar we require a 25% retainer payment returned with your signed contract. The remaining balance is not due until two weeks before your wedding day, giving you plenty of breathing room as you plan. We make payment easy and flexible, accepting check, Zelle, Venmo, CashApp, cash, or credit card through Square with a direct invoice from us to you.
Step Three: The Details Meeting
Approximately one month before your wedding day we reconnect for your wedding day planning session. This is where we go through your wedding day questionnaire packet together and nail down every detail. Your family portrait shot list, your timeline, your creative portrait ideas, special moments you want captured, and anything else on your mind. By the time your wedding day arrives nothing has been left to chance. You get to show up and simply be present.
Step Four: Your Wedding Day
On your wedding day we show up fully, not just as your photographers but as a calm and steady presence in what can be a beautifully busy day. We work closely with your other vendors, keeping the timeline moving smoothly so nothing gets missed and your love story gets told completely. Need a water? We will grab it. Need a message delivered to Mom? Consider it done. We are in the business of making your day feel supported, joyful, and completely yours.
Step Five: Sneak Peeks and Your Final Gallery
In the weeks following your wedding we share a curated selection of sneak peek images because we know the wait is real and we want to give you something to hold onto. Your full wedding gallery is delivered within 60 to 90 days following your wedding date depending on the season and booking volume. Along with your gallery you receive a print release giving you the freedom to print your images wherever you choose. We also provide trusted print lab recommendations so your photos are always reproduced beautifully. Your gallery link is fully shareable with family and friends so everyone who loves you can download their favorites. Moms and grandmas especially love this part.
