About Dana Bell Photography

Dana Bell Photography

Owner/Photographer

A photographer for over 7 years based in Bloomington, IL and Chicago, let's take photos that feel like a memory but styled like art. If you want raw feelings captured in your wedding photos, but you don't want to have to think about what to do or how to do it - you want the memories captured with an artistic twist, or you just have no clue to do with your hands - LET'S TALK!

Moody and warm edits, documentary inspired photography that captures the actual feeling behind the day. Using a mix of quirky prompts and posing to achieve a narrative to tell your story. All while bringing some sarcasm, emo, and 90s references to the mix!

    Flexible and easy to work with

    Dana did an incredible job capturing our wedding day! My husband and I had not met her in person until the day of, but she made us feel so comfortable and pictures were a breeze. She stuck right to the schedule and was flexible when we needed her to be. She is also super easy to work with in regards to planning and made the photography planning aspect of the wedding so seamless.

    Focused and Professional

    If we had to plan our wedding all over again, booking Dana would be the first thing that we did! Our photographs are stunning, and she did such an amazing job capturing all the special little moments of the day. We had two toddlers as our ring bearers, and she did a great job getting photos of them in a fun way. Just as important as the photos was the attitude that Dana brought to the day. She was focused, professional, but most of all fun! She was a very easy person to be around, and everyone felt relaxed, which made the photos so much better. I am not a person that takes a ton of pictures, and she did a great job helping us bring our vision to life in a way that was fun and comfortable! I would highly highly recommend her to any other couples. (Our wedding was in May 2025)
