bora bora resort shooting & FULL DAY ALL INCLUSIVE private aquatic photo tour on the bora bora lagoon

This full day tour is designed to shoot at remote places and in the lagoon of Bora Bora with the wild life.

By Popular demand, we include a photo-session at your resort prior to departing on the tour – This gives our clients the best of both world, memories at their resorts with a full day photo adventure!

While not a “full” 360 lagoon tour which typically circles around the Island. This to minimize time spent on a boat and maximize your time in the water! We will typically stop to snorkel at several off the-beat spots on the Island to capture stunning aquatic images. Some couples will wish to have mid-air water photography while wearing formal wear and include photos at some prime sandbanks!

We can design the itinerary based on your wishes!

This tour is designed with photography in mind focusing on aquatic photos with the wild life.

We shoot with professional equipment; each photo selected for delivery goes through post-production editing! These photos are unique and not to be compared with the selfies you can take with your own equipment; you are of course welcome to take some of your own photos and I will even help you!
At lunch time, we will then settle on one of the most beautiful Motu of Bora Bora for lunch. The motu has it all – a sensational beach, clear water, the breathtaking backdrop of Bora Bora’s mountain-line including the mythical Mt Otemanu, plenty of shade and restrooms.

A change of clothes is recommended for the photos while on the Motu, we can supply a weding type dress and a Flying dress for photos at the Motu. Wearing colorful loose fitting clothing is just a suggestion.

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!

My husband, Mike, and I celebrated our 10-year anniversary with a vow renewal at the Conrad in Bora Bora. Through the Conrad we connected with our wonderful photographers, Stephan and Bonnie. I reached out to Stephan a month before our ceremony for a brief introduction via phone. We met Stephan and Bonnie on the day of our ceremony. It was a fun and relaxed hour where we had our amazing photos taken around the beautiful resort. They knew the best spots with breathtaking views and Bonnie was super helpful guiding us as we posed. We enjoyed working with Stephan and Bonnie, and truly loved their creativity as reflected in our shots. The turnaround time with the photos was also impressive. Mike and I are pleased that we had the opportunity to meet and work with these talented photographers. These photos were the cherry on top of a memorable 10th anniversary celebration. Thanks a million Stephan and Bonnie!

Great family photoshoot experience Our family had a great experience with Stephan and Bonnie during our vacation at the St. Regis. We have eight-month-old twins, and they did such an amazing job working together as a team to make our kids feel comfortable and keeping them engaged. I was impressed with how well they could improvise as the weather changed. They know the property very well and knew the best locations to shoot in. The concierge at the St. Regis actually recommended them as they felt they would do the best with our twins. They were able to get multiple locations throughout our resort in just an hour, which was really great for our infants. It was so much fun to get the photos after we got home. They did an amazing job capturing our twin's personalities on camera. Definitely a memory we will never forget!

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.

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!!
