About Bellissima Photography and Design

Priscilla O'Sullivan

Lead Photographer and Owner

I knew I wanted to be a photographer the day I picked up my first camera. I was only 9, but I took that camera everywhere from that day forward. For me, seeing people's expressions is a huge part of why I do what I do. It's what I love. So i infuse that love in every wedding I photograph. Because we are boutique style studio, I listen to my clients on what's important to them, and I am able to tailor my photography to that. I feel that every client has a different story to tell, so not every wedding is the same. Our style is a mix of classic with a modern twist, and a dash of photojournalism.

I have been told from previous couples that they feel like I'm an extension of their family or wedding party the day of the event. It's a huge honor to share in their happiness. The day is a blur for most couples. I am organized enough to see what is needed, to keep us on track, but also make this an enjoyable. At the end of the day you need a photographer who will have fun with you, but all the while making sure you we haven't forgotten what's important.

    Fall wedding

    Bellissima was easy to work with and was able to work with an outdoor fall wedding. She was available for whatever pictures were needed and was creative with her ideas of how to bring out the colors and wedding feel of a fall farm wedding. We were excited when we first met and was able to give our ideas. She traveled with the bridal party and took great pictures. We were very happy with the overall product.


Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame. I only take on a limited number of weddings per year.
Definitely. I look through all the images and pair them down because it can be overwhelming for clients to see so many images. All final images in the gallery will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. Any product you order, like a canvas or album, will get additional services done to them. So if you have a flyaway hair or a blemish, all of that is taken care of!
No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. However I have worked with some great cinematographers and always happy to send referrals.
The number of photos you’ll receive depends on the photography package you select and how many hours we’ll be working with you on your wedding day. You’ll receive photos from every location we visit throughout the day. For example, if we’re with you for getting ready, the church ceremony, a park stop in between, and the reception, you’ll get images from each of those moments. Instead of putting a specific number on it, we capture the day as it unfolds naturally.
