About Bells Portrait Co.

Isabella

Bells Portrait Co. is a portrait photographer based in Daly City, and my focus is San Francisco City Hall. I photograph couples who are getting married or eloping there, on the Grand Staircase and in the rotunda light. If you would like your ceremony photographed too, I can cover it on request, and I am glad to serve as your witness. I have photographed people professionally since 2018, and I guide you through each part of the session so you can stay present with each other. Your fully edited gallery arrives within two weeks.

I’m not here to run your wedding. I’m here to make your portraits easy. Whether you are getting married or eloping at City Hall, the session is about the two of you, and I listen first, so the photos look like how you actually are together. I’ve been a paid photographer in the Bay Area since 2018. I edit every photo by hand, and I never use AI to change how you look. Your full gallery arrives within two weeks, with every retouched image and a print release.

    Thank you so much, Emma! It was such a joy photographing your wedding at San Francisco City Hall, from the Grand Staircase with both of your families to your skyline portraits on Potrero Hill at the end. Thank you for trusting me with your day. Wishing you both all the happiness ahead!

    Isabella was able to capture my newborn in our family session at my house today. She’s been very patient and calm during the whole time. She suggested poses and had different ideas to capture our precious moments with my 5weeks old baby boy. I 100% recommend her as a photographer to work with for your family pics!

    Thank you so much, Sara! Getting to photograph your family at home with your sweet 5-week-old was such a joy. Newborns keep their own schedule, so I love taking it slow and letting those calm, natural moments happen on their own. It means the world that you felt at ease the whole time. Wishing your little guy all the best as he grows!

    10/10 experience! As a cosplayer who still very new to professional photo shoots, I love how accommodating and beginner-friendly it was. The photographer was very kind and very helpful during the shoot. Definitely would recommend for others to book, especially new cosplayers.

    Thank you so much, this means a lot! Making people feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, especially new-timers, is my favorite part of the job. It was a pleasure working with you, and I’d love to be able to shoot with you again.

    Thank you so much! I always love when you come back, and this creative individual session in San Jose was no exception. Your photos turned out so well, and I can’t wait to work together again.

Yes. I photograph couples who are eloping or having a small ceremony at City Hall, and I'm happy to plan around your timeline. Portrait sessions are my default, and ceremony coverage is available as an add-on.
I take three or four sessions a week, so popular weekends fill a few weeks out. Fall and holiday dates go fastest. If you have a date in mind, send it over and I'll tell you honestly whether it's still open.
Yes, as an add-on. My sessions are portrait-first, but I can add ceremony coverage to any package for a flat $300, arriving early enough to be in position when your name is called. If you'd rather keep it portraits-only, that's the default and works just as well.
Not if you're booking portraits only. Some couples book portraits right after their ceremony, and others come back on a separate day, sometimes weeks later, just for the photos. If you're adding ceremony coverage, that has to happen on your actual ceremony day.
It gets busy, especially on popular ceremony days. I'll guide us to quieter corners so the crowds stay out of your photos.
I edit every photo by hand, using standard editing software to adjust light and color. I never use AI to change how you look: no reshaping faces or bodies, no swapped expressions, no generated people. What you see is what happened.
