The Alder Experience: Why a Husband/Wife Team is the Secret Ingredient to Your Wedding Day
Welcome to The Alder Experience! When you hire Bella Alder Photo + Film, you’re not just hiring a photographer and videographer—you’re bringing on two people who have your back from start to finish. As a husband-and-wife team, we have the kind of connection that allows us to work seamlessly together, providing you with a consistent, high-end experience that’s full of heart, care, and attention to detail.
We’ve been together for years—so long, in fact, that we can predict each other’s moves and reactions without even thinking twice. We’ve built something special between us, and that chemistry shines through in everything we do for you on your wedding day. If you’re wondering whether a husband-and-wife team is right for your wedding, here’s why The Alder Experience might just be what you’re looking for.
Why a Husband/Wife Team is the Best Choice for Your Wedding
We’re not just a married couple who happens to photograph weddings together—we’re a team, in every sense of the word. We’ve honed the skill of working together in ways that make your day flow smoothly and effortlessly. Here’s why that matters:
1. We Know Each Other (Really Well)
When we say we’ve been together for a long time, we mean it. We joke that we know each other better than we know ourselves—and it’s true. After all these years, we can predict each other’s movements and reactions without even having to say a word. That’s why we work so well together. Brach knows exactly what I’m doing, and I know what he’s thinking. We move in perfect sync, making sure your day is captured in the most seamless way possible.
2. We’ve Been in Your Shoes (Well, Sort Of)
We get it—planning a wedding can be overwhelming. There are so many details, so many decisions, and it’s easy to get lost in it all. But here’s the thing: we’ve been there. We’ve walked the walk (well, I was barefoot at my wedding, but you get the idea). We know what it’s like to feel those pre-wedding jitters, to wonder if everything is going to go according to plan, and to just want everything to be perfect.
With us, you don’t have to worry about the logistics or whether we understand your vision. We’ve been through the process, and we’re here to help guide you and capture every beautiful moment along the way.
3. No Awkward Strangers on Your Wedding Day
One of the biggest perks of hiring us as a husband-and-wife team is the consistency you get. Because we’re both photographing and filming your wedding, we are able to keep everything cohesive. You won’t have to worry about your photos and videos looking vastly different from each other. We both edit your work, so your final images and video will be rich, real, and consistent.
And let’s be real—having two strangers working together on your wedding day can feel a little awkward, right? But when you work with us, you can rest assured knowing that we’ve been partners for years. We know how to move around each other, how to work together without stepping on each other’s toes. There’s no “getting to know each other” process on the wedding day—just smooth, natural teamwork that makes everything feel effortless.
4. We’re Like Peanut Butter and Jam
Brach and I are a well-oiled machine. When it comes to your wedding day, we know how to make everything flow smoothly. Brach can fold a pocket square like it’s second nature, and I can pin in a veil as if I’ve been doing it for years (which, well, I kind of have). We’re in it together—and when we’re capturing your wedding, we’ve got you covered, no matter what. You won’t need to worry about us being in each other’s way or missing a single moment. We’ve got it handled.
5. We Focus on You, Not Just the Photos
While it’s important that your photos and videos are beautiful, we believe the experience matters just as much. Our goal is not only to capture stunning, high-end images but to create an experience where you feel comfortable, relaxed, and totally seen throughout the day. We’re here to be your friends with cameras. We want to help you with anything you need—whether it’s fixing your dress, holding your bouquet, or calming your nerves. When you work with us, it’s not just about taking pictures; it’s about making sure everything goes smoothly, so you can focus on enjoying the best day of your life.

2. A Relaxed, Comfortable Experience
We don’t just want you to look good in photos—we want you to feel good too. Our approach is to create a fun, relaxed atmosphere where you can be yourself, laugh, and enjoy your special moments. We’ll help you with everything from posing to managing the timeline, so you never have to worry about a thing.
