Decide what the coverage includes
Start with the wedding day, then say whether you also want the rehearsal, a welcome party, or a morning-after session. Photography and film can be booked together or on their own. The published destination packages are Destination Photography, Cinematic Destination Film, and The Bella Vita Collection.
Put travel on the same plan
Bella Vita is based in Montreal. For a destination wedding, you cover round-trip economy airfare, with one checked bag per person, and lodging for the agreed stay. Bella Vita covers local transportation, permits, meals, incidentals, and any nights beyond that stay.
Build the timeline from the events you are covering
For a Saturday wedding, the usual travel window is Thursday arrival and a venue scout, Friday preparation, Saturday for the wedding, and Sunday departure. If a portrait session is planned after the wedding, say so before the flights are booked. The team scouts the venue before the ceremony. They do not see it for the first time on the wedding morning.
Know what you receive
Ask which package you are booking, whether the day includes film, and how the photographs and the film are delivered. The package page lists what each destination collection includes. A written quote for your date should match that list.
Ask for a written quote
Share the destination, the venue, the date, and the events you want covered. The quote should include the package and the travel split before you book.
