About

We are a couple photographers based in Bora Bora. While we are based and mostly work in Bora Bora, we are available to shoot in the US as well as France.

Today, I am grateful to do what I love while also being accompanied and supported by my wonderful wife as my assistant. Working as a couple in photography is fun, we both love what we do and connecting with our worldwide clientele is an enriching experience.

Bonnie is a native from Hong Kong, speaks Mandarin, Cantonese and English. She is most helpful in demonstrating poses, assisting with the clients attire as well as handing light when required. She also has an excellent eye for the small details that may get lost while looking through the lens!

They did it AGAIN

WE can't thank you both enough!! Stephan and Bonnie has been there since our engagement shoot to my in-laws wedding renewal and now our WEDDING day! We highly recommend them! They were extremely communicative and are willing to fly to you. They may be based in Bora Bora but are willing to travel. We are in absolute awe of our wedding pictures and immediately had them printed out in canvas and hanged up in our home.

Great Experience and Perfect Photos

Wow! We had a great time working with Stephan and Bonnie DeBelle and would absolutely recommend them for any of your photo needs.

We eloped to Bora Bora and wanted photos to capture this momentous event in our lives in a beautiful location, and that’s exactly what we got and we are so thankful.

We had a hard time choosing a photographer since we didn’t have any first hand knowledge of the area or the photographers, but we are completely happy with our choice and hope to work with this husband/wife team again.

They offer shoots worldwide and have such cool abilities to do above and below water photography, that we will most likely incorporate that into our next adventure!

If you book with them in Bora Bora, also check out their Aqua Photo Tour where you can swim and photograph with sharks and other sea life which we did also! (Just don’t do it on the morning of your wedding like we did!)

We received beautiful photos AND very quickly after our big day. We are extremely pleased!!

If you’re looking for a great and professional photography team, give Stephan & Bonnie a call. You won’t regret it.

Enjoy!

Excellent experience with Stephan and Bonnie. I highly recommend them for your photography needs.

I emailed several photographers well in advance of our wedding in Bora Bora. I requested pricing, coverage, availability and recommended photoshoot locations.
Stephan replied immediately and gave me so much more information about the island, the legal ceremony requirements, excursion and restaurant recommendations, etc. than I ever imagined. We felt like we knew the island before we even arrived. I was impressed with his follow through and the excellent service he provided during the planning stage and once we met in person, it felt more like a friendship than a business relationship. Stephan and Bonnie were so wonderful to work with and although their schedule is packed with photoshoots in high season, their turnaround time was less than a week. Knowing we had a reception in the US shortly after our departure, he even offered to do a wedding video for us to play at our reception. I highly recommend Stephan and Bonnie for your photography needs.

Comfortable, easy to work with professional photographer!

We genuinely had an amazing experience! We were able to be ourselves and interact with one another in a free joyful environment, almost forgetting that those moments were being captured! The photography service that we received was outstanding and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the service during our event and finished photos we received after the ceremony! Thank you again for making this part of the ceremony so easy!!

Bora Bora Beach Elopement

End to end just great service and photos from Stephan and Bonnie for our intimate beach ceremony in Bora Bora. Wide variety of shots and we especially enjoyed jumping into the water at the end! As a bonus to the high res photos and edited slideshow we got within just a week; Bonnie also provided some same day video clips from her iPhone so we could upload to social media and keep friends and family up to date back in Canada!

Unique Photography

I had found Stephan and Bonnie through a google search when looking for a photographer in Bora Bora. What separated them from the rest, was their experience in underwater photography. I feel like anyone can be a photographer nowadays with just a smart phone, a great editing tool, and some lighting, but shooting them in the water was a whole new experience I knew I wanted for our wedding photos.

They were very timely with their emails, and after securing them to shoot for our ceremony, it was kismet that The St. Regis Bora Bora had decided to partner with them as one of their approved vendors. I guess we both have great taste! Stephan and Bonnie knew the resort very well, and took us to the best spots to capture different scenery for our photoshoot.

At first, I wanted to split my time with them with the ceremony and then some sunset shots, but by the time we did the underwater shots, we were spent! Stephan knew the importance of posting quickly on social media, so he sent me two of his favorite shots by the next day. Bonnie was great at telling us how to pose, where to stand and directing us to take the best possible pictures.

They are a wonderful couple and a pleasure to work with, and hope to work with them again in the future!

If I can, I’d make them my personal photographers!

Stephan and Bonnie were such a pleasure to work with! This was our first professional photo shoot but they not only guided us every step of the way, they cared about the pictures the way we cared about the pictures:

- Looking beautiful and handsome (eg getting us at our best angles, ensuring no bad postures, etc.)
- Seeming candid, but still looking amazing (for that #nofilter photo!)
- Capturing our unique and special moments
- Capturing amazing “in the moment”/“in action” shots that just can't otherwise be reproduced
- Taking the time to get the perfect picture

I’m in awe and so grateful for their passion and dedication to my wedding photo shoot. This was not just a job for them; they truly wanted to get the best shots for us. We were not rushed in any way, and they did their best to accommodate every request so if you're lucky enough to book them, be ready with your wish list cause they will do it!

Thank you Bonnie for always prepping us so me and my husband would look our best.

Thank you Stephan for doing your magic and making us look like natural models!

If I could, I would love you both to be my main and personal photographers wherever I go!

THANK YOU!!!

Amazing photography for my wedding ceremony in Bora Bora

Stephan was extremely professional and accommodating. His services were at the highest quality, reasonable price, personal care, honesty and final touches that are priceless. Our photos are more we expected and we couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend Stephan to anyone who need their special moment to be captured.
