MEET THE
HI! I’M
Bella
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).

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.
DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER— MAKING ART OUT OF YOUR MEMORIES.
“You just have the ability to capture people’s essences. Every photo you take feels so authentic and personal.”
— Lauren
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.
My love story
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 over 6 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! :)
