“You just have the ability to capture people’s essences. Every photo you take feels so authentic and personal.”

Bella

HI! I’M

I am a 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).

Another super important thing to note: I am here to capture any and all lovers, no matter your race, religion, sexuality, gender identity, etc. This is a safe space and it’s absolutely vital to me that all of my couples feel welcome and like they can be their true selves around me! Know that I see you, I respect you, and I will advocate for you, always.

DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER— MAKING ART OUT OF YOUR MEMORIES.

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 curated and more authentic, which is, for me, what being a true visual storyteller is all about.

film?

WHY

I am so inspired by the genuine rawness of film photography. It differs from digital in that there is a natural authenticity in its imperfection, which I believe actually makes for the perfect image. I strive to recreate this same feeling with digital, but nothing can truly compare to the subtle beauty of film, which is why I include it in all of my wedding packages.

Combining film and digital photography is truly la crème de la crème for me when it comes to telling your story on your wedding day. It forces me to slow down, pay attention, and document with precision and intention, which in turn guarantees that you walk away with tangible memories, with photos you can feel, and with timeless images that you and your loved ones can look back on and be in awe of for generations to come.

love story

MY

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 seven 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 simply because we love to hike (and were sick of the flat Ohio landscape)! 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! :)

  • Bella was the most amazing person that I could have ever asked for to capture our wedding!

    My husband and I are from Minnesota and had a difficult time planning an elopement out of state, but Bella provided us with recommendations of places to eat, get florals from, location scouting, etc. She was involved in the planning process and helped us feel organized about our elopement states away.

    As a wedding photographer myself, it was extremely important to me to find someone that made us feel comfortable, had a documentary-type style, and a focus on the intimate moments throughout the day. Bella is an amazing person, photographer, and I cannot imagine someone better throughout our wedding day.

    On the day of the elopement, Bella and her husband (Keith) helped make our day a success. They coordinated our day and reassured us when things were running behind schedule. They had the locations picked out and everything went very flawlessly. We got SO many amazing sneak peeks back, I literally cried over them.

    We are SOOOO excited to see the full gallery + would recommend Bella 100% to anyone looking for a down-to-earth and kind photographer for any type of session.

  • 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. She even can add on some film photography which was a must when I was looking for a photographer! When we look at our photos, they instantly transport us back to our special day. We cannot stop obsessing over them!!!

  • 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.

    I just have to express how truly amazing Bella was! From the moment my husband and I met her, she made us feel like old friends. Bella went above and beyond to ensure every moment of our elopement was magical and captured beautifully.

  • Bella perfectly captured every detail of who we are and what we wanted for our day!

    Bella spent the whole day with my husband and I for our elopement—from making pancakes and writing our vows at our AirBnB to our ceremony and a sunset picnic at the location site, she perfectly captured every detail of who we are and what we wanted for our day. She was also able to give us direction and posing prompts without anything feeling "scripted" or awkward. Her husband was also there and not only helped us with our props and picnic set up but gave us reason to have a lot of very real laughter and smiles in our pictures. Together they make a wonderful team and Bella absolutely blew us away with how ethereal the pictures have turned out so far (she took digital, film, AND polaroids). We will definitely use her for future photo shoots and I will always recommend her to anyone looking for professional pictures!

    — Jennifer

  • When it comes to Bella, I don’t even know where to begin!

    We used Bella for our elopement photography, and we are absolutely obsessed with the pictures! Not to mention Bella has the most amazing energy and the kindest heart. We are so grateful for all of her help on the day of and for capturing such special moments!! The turn around time for pictures was super fast and her editing is amazing. We will certainly hire Bella again!

  • Bella and her husband are literally the best!

    Bella came out to Ohio to shoot my wedding and a following day bridal shoot with me and my husband and she and Keith made everything so fun and easygoing and enjoyable. And props to them both for keeping up with the chaos of us and our families! They have the best humor and Bella creates the most beautiful photos.
