GROW WITH YOU
Emotive and experienced
invested
Your story isn’t just one day — it’s a collection of seasons, and each one deserves to be remembered honestly and beautifully.
From your engagement, to your wedding day, and all the way into motherhood and a growing family, I’m here to document the moments that matter most. The in-between glances. The deep belly laughs. The quiet, fleeting moments you didn’t even realize were happening.
I believe your photos should grow with you — emotive, intentional, and experienced. No stiff, cookie-cutter posing. Just organic, raw, timeless imagery that lets you be yourself.
More than your photographer, I become a trusted presence — an invested friend who helps you plan, dream, and execute your most meaningful moments. From your wedding day to the everyday milestones in between, I’m here to document it all with care, artistry, and intention.
Based in Atlanta, Georgia
I document love in its most honest and refined form —
here are 3 ways my approach to photography is different:
Atlanta Wedding + Maternity Photographer

About me
We are a wedding photo and video team based in Atlanta, GA.
The Babolis
Bella is absolutely AMAZING!!! My husband and I hired her for our engagement shoot & as our wedding photographer and she killed it!! She is such an angel & amazing to work with. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and does everything she can to make your photos perfect and the way you want them. Bella was helpful throughout the wedding planning process and answered any questions I had! She is extremely talented and goes above & beyond for her clients! Couldn’t ask for a better wedding photographer.
She truly cares about her clients and does everything she can to make your photos perfect.
The AWBREYS
Let me start by saying I am very very particular and Bella is the best. She is one of the rare photographers who has colorful photos, I find so many photographers filtering photos to the point of turning the sky completely white. She is not only an extremely talented photographer, but the sweetest & most genuine & creative person who is so fun to work with, she makes it SO easy. I am not a natural behind the camera and she tells you exactly what to do and every pic turns out so cute. She has a vision and it always comes to life!! She is truly an artist, we are so happy we chose her to do our wedding, we are obsessed with our pics!!! We loveeeee moonstone!!!
nicole + tim
Bella was an absolute dream to work with! From our engagement session, bridal session and our wedding day - you could
tell Bella truly cared about getting to know us and bringing our vision to life. We had never done a professional photo session prior to our engagement session and Bella and made us feel like we had been friends for years! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and even on our wedding day, it felt like I had another girlfriend with me throughout the day. Bella was truly a blessing to us and captured our most important day so beautifully! We have received so many compliments on our wedding photos and it’s all because of Bella and her team! We will continue to have Bella photograph our big life milestones for years to come!
Bella made us feel like we had been friends for years!

There’s a certain magic to Atlanta weddings that unfold across an entire weekend—especially when every moment is thoughtfully designed and deeply personal. Olivia and Matt Allen’s celebration in the heart of the city was a beautiful blend of romance, energy, and intentional detail. As an Atlanta wedding photographer, it was an honor to document a wedding weekend that felt both effortlessly elegant and uniquely them.
A Magical Wedding Weekend Begins in Downtown Atlanta
Olivia and Matt kicked off their wedding weekend with intimate portraits surrounded by glowing Christmas lights, setting a romantic and cozy tone for the celebration ahead. The Atlanta skyline paired with twinkling lights created a stunning backdrop that felt festive yet timeless—one of the many reasons Atlanta Weddings are so visually dynamic, especially with it being so close to holiday season.
After portraits, the couple enjoyed a relaxed dinner with their closest people, soaking in the excitement and anticipation before the wedding day. This intentional start allowed space for genuine moments and meaningful memories that truly tell the full story of their wedding weekend.
A Morning Dance Party to Remember
One of the most memorable moments of the day happened before the ceremony even began. Olivia and her bridesmaids turned their hotel room into a full-on dance party while getting ready. Laughter, music, and pure excitement filled the space—exactly the kind of candid, joyful moments I love capturing as an Atlanta wedding photographer.
These morning moments often become favorites in wedding galleries because they capture the emotion and anticipation leading into the day.
Wedding Day Fun, Emotion, and Intentional Details
On their wedding day, Olivia and Matt entrusted their story to photo, film, and video, ensuring every moment—both seen and felt—was preserved. As a Georgia wedding photographer, I believe weddings are not just about how they look, but how they move, sound, and linger long after the day has passed.
Their celebration was layered with personal, elevated details:
- A late-night Chick-fil-A moment, a nod to the city they love
- A nostalgic cookie cake shared with guests
- A custom golf-inspired groom’s cake
- A live band that brought an effortless energy to the evening
A romantic palette of soft pinks and rich reds wove throughout the day, adding depth and warmth while enhancing the refined aesthetic of their Atlanta wedding.
Why Atlanta Is the Perfect Place to Get Married
From glowing city lights to iconic local touches (yes, including Chick-fil-A), Olivia and Matt’s celebration perfectly showcased why couples continue to choose Atlanta weddings. The city offers a blend of elegance, culture, and personality that allows couples to fully customize their wedding experience.
Their wedding weekend was romantic, joyful, and deeply personal—and it was an honor to document their story.

Maddie and DJ’s Wedding Day at Dry Creek Chapel
As a Georgia wedding photographer, I get to capture so many beautiful celebrations. Maddie and DJ’s day was unforgettable.
Whether it was the love they poured out that seemed so genuine and real, or the fun details of their green wedding day inspiration that made it a beautiful day, I was honored to be there.
They started the morning at a lakefront Airbnb. The views were peaceful, with panoramic windows showing off the water. Inside, the energy was full of laughter and excitement.
Maddie was glowing—her bridesmaids told her all morning how beautiful she looked. And they were right. Her smile lit up every moment, and it never faded.
This wedding was anything but ordinary, it was unique, filled with the holy spirit, and so much good energy.
Pops of green added bold color throughout the décor. Fresh limes were tucked into centerpieces and table settings. Every detail felt vibrant and fun! The color Green has been such a hit this year in the wedding industry, but doing it as a pop with a neon shade was so unique and fun! If you’re looking for Green Wedding Day Inspiration, this is it.
Jesus, Friends and Family. All the ones you love in one place to celebrate you.
The most meaningful touch? Maddie’s grandmother created all the florals by hand. That made the day even more sentimental. Bouquets and blooms were more than decorations—they were love in flower form.
The ceremony took place at Dry Creek Chapel in Alabama. Maddie and DJ chose to do a traditional first look at the altar. That moment was emotional and heartfelt. During the ceremony, their closest family and friends surrounded them in prayer. It was powerful, spiritual, and deeply moving. A moment no one will forget.
As the sun set, it was time to celebrate. The reception turned into a full-on glow party. Light-up tambourines and neon glow sticks filled the dance floor. Everyone danced the night away under the stars. Throughout the night, Maddie never stopped smiling. Her energy was infectious, and her joy made the whole day shine brighter.
If you’re planning a wedding with both heart and personality, Maddie and DJ’s day is the perfect inspiration.
As an Atlanta wedding photographer, I love capturing stories that mix tradition with creativity. This wedding had both—and so much love in between.

Bethany and Jake’s wedding at Toccoa Falls and Kingwood Resort was like a love story straight out of a fairy tale, surrounded by all the beauty nature could offer. All of the sweet details made for the most perfect kind of wedding day. Being a North Georgia Wedding Photographer means I get to witness the most stunning weddings in the prettiest places, and both of these locations combined were just that- STUNNING.
The Venue: Toccoa Falls and Kingwood Resort
Imagine a waterfall cascading down with so much grace, surrounded by lush greenery and the distant silhouette of gorgeous mountains. That’s Toccoa Falls, the breathtaking canvas for Bethany and Jake’s wedding day. The couple chose Kingwood Resort as their reception venue, a place that perfectly complemented the natural beauty of Toccoa Falls. The resort offered the perfect views of the mountains on a cozy fall day, creating the BEST kind of backdrop for their wedding photos!
The combination of Toccoa Falls and Kingwood Resort provided an abundance of photo opportunities. The waterfall served as a stunning backdrop for portraits, while the resort’s surroundings offered a mix of elegance and tranquility. It was a literal dream, with endless possibilities for capturing all of the little & big moments of their day!
The Experience: An Intimate Weekday Wedding
Bethany and Jake opted for an intimate weekday wedding, a choice that added a touch of exclusivity to their celebration. The sun was shining, the air was cool, and the day unfolded with a grace that mirrored the natural beauty of the surroundings.
The couple’s decision to have a destination wedding in the mountains on the east coast proved to be inspired. The mountain views created a picturesque backdrop, enhancing the overall charm of the celebration. The coziness of the fall day added warmth to the atmosphere, making it a day to remember.
The Couple: Bethany and Jake
Bethany and Jake were like the definition of love, fun, and adventure in every shot. You could practically feel their connection in every photograph. And can we talk about Jake’s emerald green suit? It totally screamed fall vibes, adding this awesome pop of color. Bethany’s dress, all flowy and whimsical, just blended perfectly with the whole natural beauty around them. It was like they were made for that setting.
Bethany and Jake’s wedding – it was like this dreamy mix of nature, love, and adventure! Toccoa Falls and Kingwood Resort set the stage for their special day, and let me tell you, being the photographer for their story was an absolute blast. I got to capture the pure magic of their union surrounded by the breathtaking mountains. It was seriously like a fairy tale, and I’m still buzzing with joy from being a part of it

North Georgia Wedding Venue in Dahlonega, GA. Montaluce Winery is a vineyard that is perfect for the wine lovers, who also enjoy a stunning European vibe.
A Romantic Elopement at Montaluce Winery | North Georgia Wedding Photographer
If you’re dreaming of an intimate wedding surrounded by vineyards, Mary and Mike’s elopement at Montaluce Winery is everything you need for inspiration. Nestled in North Georgia wine country, Montaluce offered the perfect European romantic scenery for their wedding day.
A Forecast of Rain… and a Golden Hour Miracle
Leading up to the ceremony, the weather forecast predicted rain and storms—but nature had other plans. As the day unfolded, the skies cleared, and the couple was gifted the prettiest golden hour over the vineyard. It felt nothing short of divine, with sunlight pouring through the vines, creating a cinematic glow that set the tone for the entire day.
A Moody, Romantic Ceremony in the Wine Cellar
Mary and Mike chose to say their vows in the cellar of Montaluce Winery, due to rain in the forecast. With just 8 guests present, the ceremony felt deeply personal and sacred. The soft candlelight and stone walls made everything feel timeless and intimate—exactly what they hoped for.
As a violinist played, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows and shared communion together—a powerful reflection of their shared faith and love for Jesus. It was a beautiful reminder that weddings can be both stylish and deeply spiritual.
Southern Traditions & Sentimental Touches
In true Southern fashion, the couple celebrated one of their favorite wedding traditions—burying the bourbon! A few weeks prior, they visited Montaluce to bury the bourbon, a southern ritual to keep the rain away. Clearly, it worked, even after a 80% chance of rain. The clouds parted just in time, offering the dreamiest weather a photographer (and a couple) could ask for.
Why Montaluce Winery is Perfect for Elopements
Whether you’re planning an elopement or big wedding…this venue is a must see. Montaluce Winery is one of the most beautiful locations you’ll find in North Georgia. From the panoramic vineyard views to the romantic cellar interiors, it’s ideal for couples looking for something intimate yet elevated.

Powel Crosley Estate is one of the most gorgeous wedding venues in South Florida. It is a gorgeous historic mansion thats completely waterfront in Sarasota, Florida. The Estate has European touches with some hints of castle vibes. If that’s the vibe you’re looking for but want to stay in the United States, I highly recommend going to check out this wedding venue!
An Unforgettable Day at Powel Crosley Estate
It’s time to introduce the Baboli’s, Jalina and Omeed. Now, they are a couple who has a passion for music and are SO fun! They tied in their love for music in multiple different ways during their wedding and it was such a blast! They had multiple dance parties during the day, EDM/techno reception music with a DJ and a band to reflect their love for music festivals. There was never a moment to slow down and get bored. They truly enjoyed the most of their day and had the best friends around them to celebrate.
A Priceless First Look Moment
Jalina and Omeed are seriously the sweetest match for each other and their chemistry is so evident! They did a first look and Omeed’s reaction was priceless. He was so excited to see his bride and well, just look at the photos!! They included a few other things in their wedding day that made is such a party. They sprayed H20 guns like EDM concerts do during the dance party and they also included their dog’s face in the decor. They traveled from California because most of everyone they loved were in Florida and brought everyone together to celebrate!
Let Me Capture Your Florida Wedding Day!
Your wedding day should be a day you feel for the rest of your life. This is about you and your story, and I’m your girl who turns that into photos that you get to look back on with your family and future kiddos, and talk about how you felt in those moments. I would love to chat with you and see if we’d be a wonderful fit for each other. You can contact me on my website here, and I can’t wait to talk to you!

This Sedona elopement was an absolute pleasure to photograph. The Newsome’s treated me like family and wanted me to be a part of every step of the way in planning their Sedona wedding 🙂 They are a super fun and adventurous couple and were literally down for anything! They made it so much fun to explore and photograph this gorgeous spot and made my Sedona dreams come true.
An Intimate Wedding Day in Arizona
A Dreamy Sedona Elopement
It was a beautiful, intimate day in Sedona. They had an intimate elopement with their immediate families in a beautiful airbnb. We did first looks at the airbnb and then adventured over to the most stunning spot for their ceremony. It was called Cathedral Rock in Sedona, Arizona. Cathedral Rock is a popular spot in Sedona for good reason. The hike to get there is short and simple and the views are breathtaking!
After their ceremony, we went back to the airbnb and they had the most beautiful, intentional reception. They really wanted to make their guests feel special too, so they planned a full weekend of festivities and had a fun dinner party for their reception with mexican food and drinks.
Cathedral Rock Elopement
Their elopement weekend was so intentional. They did a pre-first look and couples session the night before their wedding to get more sunset adventurous photos 🙂 I highly recommend doing this to take advantage of your destination! I’m not just a photographer that poses you and captures the moments you’re in, but I’m one that lets you be your true selves with fun and loving prompts that TRULY showcases your love. I want to get to know all the good, the crazy, and the fun things, so I can capture your love so genuine to who YOU are.
