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.

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.
