Hi! I'm Lina, a hopeless romantic with a background in documentary fine art photography. Basically, I’m just as in love with your day as you are. I have a down-to-earth, playful approach to making art out of your moments. I understand that the most authentic moments often happen when you're least expecting them, and I'll be there to capture every fleeting glance, stolen kiss, and candid laugh. Life is beautiful chaos and I want you to feel present for every crazy, wonderful moment of your wedding celebration.

I blend digital photography with the timeless charm of 35mm and medium format film, ensuring that your photographs exude a cinematic quality that will transport you back to the most magical moments of your wedding day. It's all about your love story. I have an MFA in Photography and 10+ years of professional experience. I've shot at luxury resorts for celebrity weddings in L.A. and hiked 24 miles up into the alpine wilderness of Colorado for intimate elopements. No matter where you find yourself promising forever to each other, I'd love to be with you to play, laugh, and cheer you on. I'm available for weddings all up and down the West Coast and all over the world -- passport at the ready!

I understand the significance of establishing a deep connection with my couples. By fostering a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, I create a space where your love can shine through, resulting in photographs that truly feel like you. I believe that every couple has a unique love story to tell, and I strive to reflect your individuality and style through your photography.

Lina Bell Weddings is proudly woman and LGBT+ owned, and all people of every race, gender, culture, sexual orientation, and religion are welcome here. Your love story is magical and beautiful and valid. Thank you for being.
