If You're on the Fence, Book Her!

We are so happy! Jess made our day so perfect. From creating a day-of timeline to keep everyone on schedule to showing us exactly how to pose to get the perfect photos, we couldn't be happier. My friends and family loved working with her; she is hilarious and made everyone feel so comfortable and not weird in front of the camera. Even more, we are in love with our photos. We joking asked, "Who are those people?" because we've never looked so good. They are more stunning than I ever could have dreamed. A bride came up to me at her own wedding and said, "I wish I would have chosen your photographer!" We are so pleased we went with Vita Bella and if you're even thinking of booking her, do it! This is such a special day; you want to look back on your photos and be happy with them.

Engagement session

My fiancé and I had the honor of working with Jess for our engagement session and soon, our wedding! We had such a blast during it! Jess made us feel so comfortable and guided us the entire time on ways to move/pose to help capture our photos in a natural way! Our session lasted almost 3 hours but we were having such a blast that we didn’t even realize how late and dark it was outside.

I knew I wanted a more timeless, elegant and natural feel to our photos and Jess absolutely delivers on all of those points! We are so excited for her to capture our special day! Looking forward to September 2024! 🤍

VitaBella is THE BEST!!!

My husband and I had an amazing experience from start to finish with Jess of Vita Bella photography. She has a very keen and intelligent eye for photography and takes absolutely gorgeous photos that highlight natural features and colors (both in humans and nature.) Her signature touch makes these natural features richer and bolder in color and depth, which I ended up loving. She has great energy and made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera (it can be a bit awkward!) Her bubbly personality and silliness allowed us to feel relaxed during our engagement session and wedding day, which really translated on camera. She was also extremely organized, always checking in throughout the last year/very timely with photos being sent//answering any questions we had that I never had to worry about anything. On our actual wedding day, I barely noticed her and at times, forgot she was there. THAT is the sign of a great photographer. Our family and friends are raving about our photos and we're so excited to continue to look back at them for years to come. The entire process of working with her and her team was extremely seamless, and we're so grateful to have had the chance to work with her. Thank you, Jess, for everything!

Jessica Dolly here. Props to my younger self as a former engineer, who fell in love with digital technology. But more props to my newer (hopefully much cooler) self for rocking a wedding photography career since 2011, based less upon the technology and more about my love for telling your wedding story through said awesome digital gear.

The endless wedding cake supply is also a serious perk.

My goals for your wedding day:

I want to make you laugh.

I want to lower your stress level.

And I want to create some amazing photos with you in the middle of them. Pure and simple.

As for my style, I know what it's like to get married. You spend months planning for all the moving pieces, and let me assure you the day flies by within hours that seem like minutes. I am here to freeze it all for you. I like to capture the sense of the buildup of the day, the small details of your wardrobe all the way to the centerpieces on the tables that give it that special touch, and the raw emotion that you two will experience while saying your I Do's. I like to keep things real with portraits, do that laughing your face off thing like I promised, and include any eye-catching architecture around.

And to top it off, if we can boogie with camera in hand next to Uncle Bob at the reception in order to get the candidness of the dance floor, then I’m a happy camper.

MORE fun. LESS stress. I got you!!

We have worked with Andrea at Vita Bella a number of times and they are always great to work with. They are professional and produce stunning imagery. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer. Take a look at their portfolio and see for yourself. After meeting Andrea, you won't want to hire anyone else.
