Styles of photography offered

•  Formal (Formal portrait photography is most often posed or set up by the photographer during a time set aside just for this purpose. Formal photography can be done in many styles including traditional, contemporary, or illustrative.

•  Candid (Candid photography is spontaneous and flexible, capturing people together during informal poses with natural expressions.)

•  Photojournalism (Photojournalistic photography is at its best when you do not even know the photographer is there. It is photographing the people and things, as they are around you, in a natural beauty without intrusion or modification.)

Equipment and Supplies •  Belland photography uses medium format cameras with Kodak film (Medium format refers to film size which is double the size of 35 mm film. Larger film produces higher quality images with more detail and clarity). •  Digital photography is available upon request. •  Digital Montage designs are available from film or digital files. •  Prints are on Kodak paper available in color, black and white, sepia and metallic . •  Albums are all custom made to suit your style (we prefer to use Leather Craftsman and Art Leather as our main manufacturers; however, others are available by request).

We at Belland Photography believe that a wedding is not only the marriage of two people but also the joining of two families. This day is often one of the very few times in life when all of your family and friends come together in a celebration of love. Our goal is to document this glorious occasion in its entirety from the preparations to the end of the festivities including all the romance, laughter, and tears along the way. Our staff takes great care in getting to know each bride and groom so that we are able to understand and produce just the right service and results whether it is formal poses in a traditional album or a less intrusive approach such as candid or photojournalistic photography in a contemporary album. Belland Photography has a small enough staff to provide warm, personalized care not just on your wedding day but also as your family grows and requests our service through out the many mile stones of your life. With 30 years in business, 7 Photographers, and over 150 years of combined experience, we will consistently deliver the innovative styles and quality you expect.
