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!

Aimee and Jay

Hi Everyone,

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.

Ciao,

Priscilla

Jay and Aimee

Jay and Aimee's engagement session was a 2 part session. When they first booked me, they wanted to send out Save the Date cards to their family and friends. The problem was we were in the middle of winter. But that didn't stop them! So our first session, it was about negative 20 outside, or so it felt. I couldn't feel my fingers turning the dials on my camera! Since their wedding was July 11th, (7-11) they decided to go with a 7-11 theme for their cards!


Uh, a little secret, 7-11 does not have slurpees in the winter apparently, that's
coke :)



Aimee and Jay met at Hightops, which was a great bar right around Wrigley Field...and
I say "was" because they closed it down! It's been there longer than I can remember. I think they turned it into another Harey Carey's restaurant.



So after freezing our buns off, I decided to offer them a second session, preferably in a much warmer time of the season. :) So we just met up at the Peggy Notebart Museum to get some pictures. It was a beautiful day, except for this very weird cloud cover among the skyscrapers. I've never seen anything like that in the city before. But we were able to get some great pics.













Here is their slideshow, I went with a much needed summery song!

Thanks!
