HELLO!!

Thank you for taking the time to be here.

 I’m a big believer in synchronicities and meaningful coincidences.

Life always has its way of bringing people together at the right time and right place, so I am grateful that our paths have crossed!

My name is John Bello and have been proudly capturing the love celebrated by LGBTQ+ humans and our allies for the past 13 years.

 Love does not fit in a box, 

and I celebrate every form it takes. Even if you’re not part of the LGBTQ+ community but consider yourself an ally, I’d love to work with you. Your guests may include LGBTQ+ folks or others from underrepresented communities, so having an inclusive photographer behind the lens helps everyone feel seen, safe, and welcome.

Your wedding day will go by in a blink of an eye, so the biggest piece of advice I always share with couples is to be completely present with each other and your loved ones to make the most of your special day. This where the magic comes from.

Vulnerability is beautiful, and is the secret to getting the best photos.

The people around you and the emotions the day carries is very important to me to document. I am able to do this by being a fly on the wall and immersing myself as a guest. It’s the ugly cries and the deep belly laughs that mean the most to me.

I would love to be a part of your story
and capture your joy
in a vibrant
and authentic way.

So let go, just be, and put full trust in me to capture your celebration.

With gratitude,

John

Whether you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community
or a supportive ally,
I’d be honoured to help document your celebration.

As a proud member of the community, I’ve had the privilege of photographing hundreds of weddings and celebrations that reflect the love, diversity, and joy within our community. I understand how important it is for couples to feel seen, respected, and safe on their big day.
Many couples seek out wedding vendors who are also part of the LGBTQ+ umbrella because it offers peace of mind and the assurance that they can fully express themselves.
This extends beyond just the couple – guests of all identities and orientations are more than likely attending your wedding, so knowing their photographer is on the same page creates a welcoming, inclusive environment for everyone.
My goal is always to ensure that every couple and every guest feels valued and comfortable, creating a space where love truly knows no bounds.
