Why Bella Alder Photo and Film is Salt Lake City's Best Photographer and Videographer Duo
When you're planning your wedding or special event, choosing the right photographer and videographer is one of the most important decisions you'll make. It’s not just about hiring someone to snap a few photos or record a video. It’s about finding a team that understands you—your vision, your style, and your story. That’s where Bella Alder Photo and Film comes in.
As Salt Lake City’s best photographer and videographer duo, we do things a little differently. We're not just here to capture moments; we're here to build a lasting friendship with you. A friendship where you can trust us, rely on us, and know that we'll be there, not just to document your wedding, but to celebrate you every step of the way.
Let us explain what sets us apart and why we might just be the perfect fit for your big day.
Let’s Just Say I Do Things a Little… Differently — Bella’s Specialty
If you're here, you’re probably hunting around for the best photographer to match your style, your needs, and your personality. It can be overwhelming, right? There’s so much to consider—who’s saying the right things, who’s using the right equipment, and honestly, what does “aperture” even mean?
I won’t sugarcoat it for you. I’m not here to play games. I want us to be fist-bumping, shouting praises from the rooftops because we found each other. I want to serve you—and only you—on your wedding day. I want to be your go-to person for every little thing—whether it’s texting me at 9pm asking for hair and makeup recommendations for your Joshua Tree elopement or chatting about the best places for a post-wedding brunch.
To me, it’s about so much more than money or a business transaction. It’s about relationship. And when it comes to photos, and friendship, I’m your girl.
My history in photography is simple but meaningful. I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was four years old—thanks to my dad who gave me my first film camera. As I grew older, life got busy, and photography took a backseat for a while. But everything changed after I got married. Just a week after my wedding, my dad fell terminally ill, and that’s when I truly understood the power of memories.
After his passing, my new husband, Brachen, gave me my first-ever DSLR camera. That gift reignited my love for photography. I started documenting more and more, taking on shoots until I was confident enough to turn my passion into a full-time business. Now, my little company has grown, and it’s a true family affair—because Brachen, my partner in both life and business, is by my side every step of the way.
What Makes Us Different — Brachen’s Specialty
Now, let’s talk about Brachen—my incredible husband, who brings a unique and powerful skill set to our team. Brachen is our videographer, and trust me when I say, he has a rare gift for capturing cinematic beauty.
Let’s just get one thing out of the way—Brachen is Deaf. But let me tell you something—his deafness is actually one of the most incredible assets he brings to our team.
You might be wondering how that’s possible. Well, let me paint you a picture: While most people are distracted by the noise, Brachen has the ability to tune everything out and focus on the moments that matter most. He’s the kind of person who notices the smallest details—the way a couple holds hands, the gentle sway of a dress in the breeze, the tears of joy in a mother’s eyes. These are the moments that become timeless treasures, and Brachen is a master at capturing them.
Brachen’s Background is in nature photography, so his eye for detail is impeccable. After years of hearing about my couples’ adventures, Brachen decided to make the leap into videography. What started as a hobby—filming friends and family—quickly grew into a passion. Now, he’s obsessed with creating cinematic masterpieces that will become family heirlooms for generations to come.
Our Magic Together: As a duo, we’re unstoppable. We bring our unique skills together—my love for storytelling through photos and Brachen’s ability to capture cinematic moments through video. We make sure that every moment of your day is captured authentically, beautifully, and in a way that feels true to you.
