Meet Bella Luca
Hey there! We’re Mike and Lisa Gagliano, the husband-and-wife team behind Bella Luca Photography. Our name means "beautiful light," and that's our entire philosophy: to find and capture the authentic, beautiful light in your unique love story. For over two decades, we've had the honor of documenting hundreds of weddings and elopements across the Memphis and Mid-South area. But what truly drives us isn't just taking photos; it's about building a genuine connection with you. We believe your best memories are found in the candid, in-between moments - the joyful chaos of getting ready, the secret glance you share during the ceremony, and the wild dance moves at the reception. Our style is a mix of artistic, contemporary photography and timeless photojournalism. We'll be there to document your day as it unfolds, respecting tradition while prioritizing the moments that feel most authentically "you." We'll guide you through portraits, but our true passion lies in capturing the real, raw emotion that makes your love story one-of-a-kind.
You've put so much thought into this day. Let us be the ones to make sure you can look back and feel every single moment again. Ready to tell your story? We can't wait to hear from you. We are a proud Hall of Fame vendor for the Memphis, Olive Branch, and Mid-South regions.

DO HAPPEN
In 2006 I purchased my first DSLR, a 6mp Minolta 5D. I was a graphic design student and I wanted to take photos for my projects rather than have to search the internet for what I was looking for. I thought taking my own stock quality images would be easy. I didn't know I was in for a challenge and a life long career.
I have narrowed my focus to specializing in all things wedding including glamour & boudoir. I guide my clients through the entire process including makeup, lingerie & posing.
I am proud to say that I have had the pleasure of working with Mike and Lisa Gagliano of Bella Luca Photography for 2 years.
Meet Julie
When we're not shooting, we're hanging out with our two kids, who are basically just smaller versions of us. Lucus (15) loves being outdoors as long as he has an electronic device. Bella (11) is our silly one and loves to make us laugh! She also rocks the softball!! As a family, we love camping, cycling, fishing, and watching
