My name is Priscilla O'Sullivan, and I'm the owner of Bellissima Photography. Recently married in 2003, I decided to pursue my first love, (before my husband :) and Bellissima was born! I chose the name because it means "beautiful" in Italian. What a perfect description for those moments that mean the most.
I am married to an amazing guy who is constantly reminding me of how great I am, and I have a 3 year old daughter Kailee, and just expanded our family with the addition of our son, Rylan.
That's the basic scoop on me. Keep checking the posts to find out more!
Here is an engagement session that I shot in Chicago with Kelli and Mike. We couldn't decide on where to go at first, but they left it up to me to pick a location, and I have to say this was a great one. I always try to pick different locations for each of my couples, but this one might have to be recycled!
Here are some shots from their session, check out their slideshow down below as well!
I love this series of shots I got of them goofing around! They are too cute!
Okay, I had to put this one in b/c I was squatting down to get Kelli and Mike's picture and this bird just walked right up to me and my bag. Literally, it was 1ft. away from me, just starring at me. This bird is not camera shy!
Thanks for spending the afternoon with me! Talk to you all soon!
Here is another amazing wedding! This is Aimee and Jay, and their wedding took place in Chicago. They were one of the unlucky couples that had their wedding originally planned at Holy Name Cathedral, and the construction was suppose to be finished by their wedding date, and unfortunately it wasn't. So they moved the ceremony to Assumption Church, which I think is just as gorgeous!
The day started at the Palmer House and then off to the ceremony. After that, we headed to the Kinzie Street Bridge in Chicago to get some shots. Then off to Galleria Marchetti for the reception. Here are some of their pictures from the day.
Here are a bunch of the details
I had the pleasure of working with Misse Daniel from Honey Bee Weddings Thanks Misse for everything.
Well, it's been a crazy couple of weeks, but yes, I'm still alive! My 5 year anniversary is coming up and my birthday in the next 2 weeks, and I'm looking forward to a little r&r with James and Kailee.
But during these crazy weeks, I had an opportunity to shoot my engagement session with Michelle and John. Their wedding is right around the corner in October, and I'm really looking forward to it!
We met in Chicago for their session and I had to parallel park my Durango, which is more like a boat. I love my car, but man, it is hard to find spots it fits in. And for some reason, I can not park this SUV for the life of me. I could be parking in a lot with no cars and I'll still end up on the line or all crooked. I don't know what's the matter with me! This is not the first SUV I've driven. I swear it's the car! Anyways, I somehow fit right into this spot, whew!
So we tackled Millenium Park, which had some great spots. The jazz or blues festival was going on, so we were also being entertained, can't go wrong!
Here are some of their photos.

Thanks for hanging out with me guys, can't wait for your wedding!
Here is an engagement session I did in the city with Mandi and Matt. Mandi was actually referred to me by a friend(that story to come later!), and at the time I had just met with another bride for her wedding date. Mandi had seen some engagement slideshows I had done, and some things on my website and blog, and booked me over the phone. I'm so glad everything worked out and I am shooting your wedding guys!
We had scheduled their session just a few weeks before, but I didn't realize there was a Bears game that same day, which makes for CRAZY traffic in the city. Plus, it just so happened to rain on and off that entire day. So it was a good idea that we rescheduled.
Mandi and Matt live literally 6 blocks or so from Wrigley, and Mandi's entire family are hardcore Cubs fans. So you'll see one of the shots in the slideshow, they own a brick in the pavement that surrounds Wrigley. That's so awesome!
Well, I've been quite the busy photographer lately. Meet Melissa and Jim. I know I'm not suppose to have favorites or anything, but when Melissa, Jim and I first met, I just knew they were a lot of fun, and have been looking forward to their session ever since. We just hit it off from the start. We did their E-session in downtown Chicago at a new location for me. It was great fun! First, the weather couldn't have been more perfect. We got there around 6:30ish, and there was beautiful golden light coming in. So some of the beginning pictures of the slide show you'll see some of that. The funny part is that there was a concert going on while we were downtown, so it was packed with people everywhere. So we could hear the rap concert the entire time of the shoot, and it was so loud that sometimes they couldn't even hear me, and I was only 10 feet away from them! We were all laughing so hard because their pictures look so serene, them two snuggling in a meadow of flowers, glancing at each other.....meanwhile there were profanities flying every which way while they were gazing into each others eyes!!!!! :)
Oh well, the photos show none of that! Enjoy the slideshow!
