About

Southern California based Wedding Photographer.
Currently booking 2021-2022

Saved by Grace. Wifey. Mama. Hype Woman. Encourager. Supporter. Photographer.

There’s a reason why photographer comes last on my list of titles. My identity isn’t found in being a wedding photographer. I don’t just want to photograph your wedding, I want to encourage you, support you and make you two feel special & loved now and for the rest of your marriage. Thankfully I get to do that WHILE being your photographer. I thrive off genuine connections, depth and transparency- no matter how messy it is.

I don’t refer to myself as a “Boss” or any other buzzword that is currently being used. I’m not trying to build an empire, become the next “it girl” or become a NY Times #1 top selling motivational speaker. Although those things aren’t bad, that’s not WHY I’m here and what I have to offer you as a wedding photographer. I’m the wedding photographer that wants to stick around after your wedding to capture the REST of your marriage… you know, after the big party is over when real life happens: babies, no babies, your fur babies, your first home, your 5 year anniversary and everything in-between. Being naturally outgoing, personable and desiring genuine connections, I automatically want to get to know my clients on more than just a “Hello Bride for October 11th, 2021!” basis. I can confidently say, I keep in touch with a large majority of my clients after their weddings- whether capturing the next milestone in their marriage, attending their baby showers, crying with them over infertility (IVF warrior right here) or encouraging them as I watch their lives unfold online.

Past clients describe me as joyful, fun, passionate, warm and have the ability to make my couples feel comfortable through laughter & wanting to know ALL of your stories of how/when/where and why you fell in love.

On your wedding day, you can usually find me tearing up behind my lens during an emotional ceremony, father of the bride speech or mother-son dance, which is probably why I grow attached to my couples and love watching their marriage grow over the years long after they say I DO. Since becoming a mother myself, my perspective on what matters on a wedding day has expanded and shifted to make sure to always look around and capture your Mom as she smiles with tears streaming down her face when she sees you in your dress, your grandparents holding hands as you recite your vows and your Dad barely making it through his speech as he talks about the first time he held his baby girl. But don’t you worry, I still love capturing romantic moments of you two as the sun starts to set.

My deepest desire is to capture photos from your wedding day that will enrich & bring joy to your marriage.

Reviews of Jessica Di Bella Photography

Surprisingly pleasant

We hired Jessica Di Bella for our engagement photos, and the entire experience, from consultation to photo day, came with ease. We couldn't meet in-person prior to the session, but she was super pleasant on our phone call. We ended up discovering common friends and that we graduated from the same high school. I mean what a small world! The days leading up to our scheduled photo day, the weather forecast kept showing at least 20% chance of rain; Jessica was in constant communication with me, monitoring the weather and weighed in options for moving forward or postponing. My fiance and I ended up moving forward with the session, and it was "Surprisingly pleasant." She took us to all her favorite spots to shoot in the canyon, and she had a very organic way of posing us in front of the camera. My fiance, who is mostly reserved around new crowd, was put in much ease and socialized like he did on our first date without any ice breaker (his pictures turned out super nice,!). Taking photos in chilly canyon weather was also surprisingly pleasant ;) We didn't have the vibrance of the sun, but Jessica knew exactly how to make use of the semi-inclement weather. She surprised us by finishing the editing and culling a week sooner than promised, and Wow! The photos turned out beautiful. We are so in love with her work

Jessica is the best!!!

Jessica was the photographer for my recent 3/7 wedding. She is fun, energetic, organized and makes everyone feel comfortable. We had so much fun just taking our wedding party photos and couple photos! Highly recommend Jessica Di Bella Photography. We had our sneak peeks within less than a week and they look AMAZING. :)

Jessica's Vision and Heart are Magic

Having Jessica photograph our wedding was hands down one of the greatest honors and decisions we made. From the moment we started chatting with Jessica, she was warm, kind, and felt like someone we had known forever. Meeting her in person far exceeded any initial thoughts we had and she was not only all of those qualities, but posses a confidence and humor that you cannot match.

On our wedding day, Jessica made both of us feel so calm, comfortable, and even went above and beyond by fixing my veil or dress on more than one occasion (thank you for that!)! She laughed with us, cried with us, and was truly invested in our love.

She also had an amazing ability to keep things on schedule, take ownership of situations to ensure we got everything we wanted.

And then came the finished product. I can honestly say I have never experienced so much joy looking at photos as I did looking at what she captured. They made us laugh, cry, and smile all over again. They perfectly portrayed us, our silliness, had a beautiful artistic touch, and are beyond our wildest dreams.

Thank you for making all of our dreams come true. Your vision and your heart are truly magic.

Jessica is amazing!

Jessica is a great photographer! I have followed her on social media for years so when I got engaged I knew I had to book her. My husband and I had never taken professional photos together and we were worried the pictures would look forced or awkward. The package we purchased came with a complimentary engagement shoot so we used that as a test run. During our engagement shoot Jessica was so easy to work with and gave great direction. She made us laugh and made the whole experience easy. After that day we knew we made the right decision to have her shoot our big day. Leading up to the wedding she was very communicative and had great suggestions. I didn’t have a lot of help planning so Jessica helped me lay out a timeline and as very helpful on the day of. Her second shooter Emily was also a dream. She was funny, helpful and professional. I will forever recommend Jessica to all of my friends and family and will use her in the future for any professional photos. Our engagement photos turned out beautiful and our wedding photos are even more amazing. I could not have picked a better photographer. Thank you so much Jessica!!!

The best in the game

Jessica is the best wedding photographer out there! She makes something that can be uncomfortable for some people so fun and intimate. She gets the vision right everytime! She has done my engagement pictures, wedding pictures and maternity pictures. She will be my family photographer for life! I have referred her to multiple friends who have all booked and loved her. She is the best out there!

Amazing talent & an amazing woman!

Where to even begin! Jessica was an absolute dream of a photographer for both our wedding day and engagement session. She is beyond talented and was able to capture such beautiful, authentic moments for us to be able to look back on for a lifetime. During her shoots, she made it a fun experience with her easy-going and bubbly personality/excitement when a shot came to mind and gave us great direction (especially needed when your husband is not too keen on taking photos). She will make you feel comfortable, keep you laughing, and truly has a great eye for the most beautiful pictures. We were provided an estimated timeline prior to the wedding to help us plan accordingly and she went out of her way to help delegate everything on our wedding day to make sure it all went as smoothly as possible. When we were faced with pouring rain for the ceremony, she quickly improvised and ran to the store to purchase umbrellas for all our guests so we could still get my dream ceremony outdoors while keeping dry. If you love romantic photos that are vibrant, moody, and show emphases on true emotion, then Jessica is your girl! I highly recommend her and if you have not met her yet, you need her in your life as not only a vendor, but a friend as she will most certainly become one after meeting her.

Seriously the best photographer I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with

Jessica was an absolute pleasure to have as part of our wedding team. She has an awesome attitude and a heart of gold. She was beyond helpful with many details of our day including holding the train of my wedding dress, carrying bouquets, even fixing my garter. We look forward to using Jessica for many more events in our future. Her work is out of this world!

Beaming light of joy!!

If Jessica has availability to shoot your wedding, engagement, elopement, etc., RUN. Jessica is someone that will make you feel so comfortable and at ease while she's taking the most incredible, raw, emotion driven pictures. She made my husband and I look like models, and captured the essence of our love. She was able to capture moments that I look back on and can't help but cry because I can look at the pictures she took of my husband and I at our engagement shoot, and our wedding and I can remember exactly how I felt. Forget pinning pictures of other couples on your pinterest "inso" board, you will have those pictures. Jessica is so talented at what she does. She is able to see light peaking through and position you in a way that you are beaming. She is so fun to be around and gave us the best pictures, we constantly get compliments from. Because of Jess, we are able to proudly display our engagement and wedding pictures because they are so so good. I cannot recommend Jessica high enough, and you will not regret hiring her. Not only is she insanely talented, she is the kindest, most genuine human who will laugh with you, cry with you, and encourage you beyond "I do". In a world filled with uncertainties, you can rest assured that hiring Jessica will be the best decision you could ever make!

Gorgeous Photos + Amazing Team!

Jessica is incredible! She photographed our wedding weekend while 8-months pregnant! Her dedication to our family and friends was unlike any other vendor I have collaborated with.

Jessica's style is truly timeless.. She finds a way to capture the romance and joy from each moment by making everyone feel so comfortable. Being that my husband and I are a little camera shy, having someone behind the lens that is able to make you laugh is so, so important! Natural smiles!

Deep, moody, lovely, color-saturated photos + a humble, playful, professional team = Jessica Di Bella Photography. If you have the honor of working with her for your wedding day or any other milestone, you will be extremely happy!

Thank you Jessica!
