HI! I’M

I’m a film wedding photographer based out of Denver, CO, but I love to travel and will go wherever your love takes me!

A few things you should know about me: I’m a Twilight and Harry Potter fanatic, I have killed every plant I’ve ever owned, and you’ll often find me in a coffee shop or snuggled up on my couch with a good book. (And by “good” I of course mean either fantasy or trashy romance).

philosophy

MY

On your wedding day, there is nothing more important to me than ensuring that you are able to be fully present in the moment. This day should be all about celebrating your and your partner’s love with your favorite people. This should be a day of unfiltered joy, of dancing until your feet hurt, of radiant smiles, happy tears, and a whole lotta kisses.

So what does this mean for you?

Your day is NOT a photoshoot. It is not an opportunity for me to get cool pictures for Instagram. My job is to serve you. I do so by silently observing, guiding where it’s needed, but ultimately being as hands-off as possible so that you’re able to spend your wedding day solely focused on enjoying this time with your loved ones, rather than worrying about spending hours of your day taking photos.

In allowing ourselves to let go of expectations, to not go into the day with the goal of getting the “perfect picture,” what we ultimately end up with is photos that feel less forced and more authentic, which is, for me, what being a true visual storyteller is all about.

Bella's photos are literal works of art and her eye for special, candid moments is incredible.

Bella is incredibly talented, genuine and kind! My husband and I are so grateful we found her. Her and her husband Keith instantly make you feel like old friends, which made us feel a lot more comfortable in front of the camera. She was able to photograph our engagement shoot and wedding! Her style of photography is really beautiful and documentary, and her style of editing is dreamy and film like. Her photos are literal works of art and her eye for special, candid moments is incredible. When we look at our photos, they instantly transport us back to our special day. We cannot stop obsessing over them!!!

Finding and working with Bella was one of the luckiest yet easiest decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process!

She matched our energy from the beginning and allowed us to be ourselves and true to our laid-back nature while also managing to ensure she captured the photos she knew we’d want later. There is no better pick for a documentary-style photographer who can do it all, and if you’re looking for someone who will only add to the celebration of your love rather than be a faceless vendor, Bella is your gal! My friends and family loved her, too!

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to put in words how wonderful Bella truly is.

When we first met for our engagement photos we felt SO comfortable with her, everything felt so natural and right. We had multiple conversations and after seeing so much of her work all I really asked for was for candid moments and photos to show how much we are loved by each person that attends our wedding. I just received my gallery and I cried so many happy tears because it really felt like we were reliving the day when looking at them. She was incredible at capturing the moments and the love that surrounded us. I am eternally grateful for Bella and the photos we get to have for the rest of our lives.

We were impressed with the quality of Bella’s work between both our engagement and wedding pictures! Her professionalism and ability to capture intimate moments was commendable throughout the process, from the initial consultation to the final product - and everything in between! Bella demonstrated a talent for blending into the background while effectively documenting key moments, resulting in a collection of images that told our love story.

Bella is committed to understanding the couple she is photographing. She took the time to connect with us, learn our story, and grasp the emotions we wanted to convey through our photos. This personalized approach, combined with a strong work ethic, ensured a successful collaboration and a set of images that not only showcased the beauty of our chosen location but also captured the authentic connection we share as a couple and with our families. We’re excited to see her work evolve and to continue working with her in the future!

Not only is Bella an incredible photographer, but she’s also one of the kindest people you could hope to work with!

She and Keith brought so much energy and joy to our wedding day, hyping us up, keeping us laughing, and making the whole experience truly fun. There was never any pressure for fake poses or forced candids; they captured the day exactly as it unfolded. Every time I look through our photos, I’m transported right back to the genuine happiness and excitement of those moments. Best of all, I actually got to enjoy the day instead of spending hours pulled away for photos. I absolutely loved the experience and would recommend Bella to anyone looking for a photographer who captures both the beauty and the heart of your wedding day.

She is also such a fun, wonderful person and it was such a joy to get to know her throughout our day!

Keith and I got married in June 2022! We met during our senior year of high school when he DM’d me on Instagram asking what type of books I liked LOL. We’ve been together for eight years and I feel so lucky for him every day! We both graduated from colleges in our home state of Ohio and decided to move out to Colorado on a whim! We’ve been out here since July 2022 and have loved every second of it.

In terms of my photography business, Keith occasionally acts as my assistant and film second shooter for weddings! He’s super easy-going and loves to make people laugh (me especially) so I love having him there with me! :)
