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 Hong Kong.

Today, I am grateful to do what I love while also being accompanied and supported by my wonderful girlfriend 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!

Bora Bora is no place to be rushing! We insist on being generous with the time we spend on location shooting. While others might promise more photos, our main objective is for you to have fun and deliver professional images!

A good portion of my work is done while shooting destination weddings and couples on their honeymoon, I am open minded and willing to work with you to satisfy yourspecific desires!

Some of my other works include shooting family vacations, honeymoons, snorkeling adventures and much much more! The options are endless.

Although my style is typically more on the “photojournalism ” / "contemporary" side (less posing), we will of course guide you through the session! I also enjoy shooting portraits, local events on the island, as well as underwater and mid-air/water photos. Due to the demographics of people visiting Bora Bora, it is a rare opportunity to be doing maternity photos but of course that is always a beautiful and unique experience!

I have the great pleasure and honor of capturing stills from official events on the island such as the annual Heiva, a beautiful competitive dance competition. These events, the simplicity of life, the people and their culture are a few of the many reasons I fell in love with French Polynesia and decided to move here from the USA.

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!

Exceptional Destination Wedding Photo's-Bora Bora

Wow! We just slowed down and Steve pulled the photo’s up. They are absolutely stunning. You did a phenomenal job. We love each and every one of them. We didn’t realize you had sent them so quickly. Your work is impeccable. We looked at each picture and cried. You really captured the special moments of our glorious day. We loved that both you and Bonnie were a part of it.
We will look them over again this evening and start the download process. You got the shot for sure with us jumping off the wood deck and the flower crown picture you took in the water was amazing.
Thank you very much! Even though our families weren’t there, you both felt like family and made the experience even more memorable.
Love,
Naomi and Steve"

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!!
