Timeless Images By Mike and Lisa
Bella Luca Photography is a husband-wife professional photography team serving the Mid-South. Passionate and family-orientated, Mike and Lia Gagliano hope to capture your special moments with their talented camera skills. You will receive an authentic, and heartfelt service when you work with this talented pair of experts.
Bella Luca Photography opened in 2000. Mike and Lisa named the company after their two children, ‘Lucas and Bella’. This directly translates to ‘beautiful light’. With a wealth of knowledge and experience, these pros are devoted to capturing couples in their best light. The pair tend to establish more than just a once-off business transaction, and end up building life-long friendships with their clients.
Mike and Lisa take a photojournalistic approach to their work. They are relaxed and lighthearted during sessions, subconsciously encouraging couples to feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. Their style can be classified as artistic, and contemporary in nature. However, they do tend to pay respect to traditional methods in some instances of their work.
Bella Luca Photography has a number of wedding packages on offer to couples. An engagement photo shoot is included in each package, and provides an ideal opportunity to work with Mike and Lisa in a relaxing environment. Collections can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of each couple and their budget. The pair can organize sessions for couples with their associate boudoir-specialist photographer.

Bella Luca Photography photographed our wedding and an engagement session, and we couldn’t be happier with our pictures. Mike and Lisa are so professional and enjoyable to work with, and they take the most beautiful pictures. They made sure everything was fun and relaxed while giving very clear direction and shot us in many different poses and settings, so we have a huge variety to choose from. As for the wedding itself, the pictures are stunning. Mike and Lisa were able to capture all of the special moments throughout the day while keeping everything on schedule. Our whole wedding party loved them. Our biggest problem now is narrowing down our favorites because they are ALL good. When all is said and done with wedding planning, the most important things are the person you are marrying and the pictures, and you can’t go wrong with Bella Luca Photography.
Response from the Vendor on 11/18/2024
Thank you for this amazing review. We were honored to be part of your amazing day.Thanks again for the trust.
Very professional! It was great to work with them. All of our wedding photos turned out beautifully! They are such high quality photos. They captured our special day so perfectly.
SO happy with Bella Luca’s services. From the very beginning before we had booked them as our vendor, they answer my emails/questions so quickly and effectively. Communication is key and they do it well! They are very accessible after booking- several phone calls before the big day to discuss scheduling, shot list, etc. Day of, they were so professional. They are very experienced and it shows! We took all of our posed photos before the ceremony and Bella Luca’s team was fantastic. They knew exactly how to get all of the shots in the most time effective way. They make you feel comfortable and provide great guidance for posing. We received SO MANY photos back and they are all we could’ve dreamed of and more. I would recommend Bella Luca Photography again and again!
Response from the Vendor on 11/07/2024
Well thank you so much. We truly appreciate you including us in you big day. To trust us to capture your special moments is much appreciated. Thanks again Bella Luca
Any questions?
We were blown away! The photos…every one of hundreds…are wonderful. We got some really great engagement photos, but the wedding?
Wow.
So happy. Very professional.
Got every shot we wanted and many we did not think to ask for.
If people asked for impromptu shots, they got it,
Awe were on a tight time frame. Everything was done in the timeline. Nothing delayed.
Worth every penny.
We also rented his photo booth. It was fun and we have all the pictures taken there on our website to download as well.
My father was a professional photographer… I don’t think he could have done better. I can think of no higher praise than that.
Response from the Vendor on 07/11/2024
Thankyou very much it was our pleasure sharing your day.
Mike and Lisa were fabulous! They communicated with us about the timing and schedule for our engagement photo session and our wedding day. Mike answered all of our questions and did everything we asked. He edited the photos beautifully, and he paid so much attention to detail! The Photo Booth was wonderful and fun, and they even included a photo album for all of the people to put copies of their photos and write notes to us. We got our photos back earlier than Mike had even told us, and they all took our breath away! This husband and wife team is worth every penny!
Response from the Vendor on 11/07/2024
Thank you again for the trust you placed in us to capture your day.
We are so happy how our wedding pictures turned out! They are absolutely beautiful. They are super affordable compared to all the other photographers I looked into, and with Bella Luca you get two! The pictures after the ceremony went really quick and they captured everything we wanted. I can't recommend them enough!
By far the best you can get! I l’ve used them twice. This husband and wife team are a DREAM TEAM. They don’t miss a moment or any of the emotions, and capture even the smallest details, making them even more beautiful than they already were! Scrolling through the photos I feel like I’m reliving my big day over and over again. They want what you want and their end game is for the Bride and Groom to love and adore their wedding photos for years to come...and we do!
I could not have asked for a better photographer. The photos left me speechless! I was amazed by how quickly I received my photos. Anytime I had a question or concern, Michael was quick to respond and extremely helpful. As someone who has never been professionally photographed, I was nervous. Bella Luca Photography made me feel confident and comfortable throughout my wedding day!
Michael and Lisa are PHENOMENAL. They are very professional and on top of things. Picking them to photograph our wedding was the best decision we could’ve made. We are absolutely blown away and completely stunned at how well our pictures turned out. I can’t even believe it’s us in some of them. They definitely made it hard on us to decide what to print. If you’re on the fence about hiring them, DO IT!! You won’t regret it!!!
They did an awesome job! Very professional and fun at the same time
Our engagement/wedding photos are beautiful. We will cherish them forever!
Bella Luca was fabulous and affordable! Photographers spend every second of your special day with you so I was thrilled with how sweet, professional, and efficient they were without breaking our budget. They kept us on track so we could get every shot we wanted, but they also made sure they weren’t invasive. They kept the vibe light, and our pictures turned out stunning. I can’t recommend Bella Luca enough!
What a great joy to work with Mike and his team! He was very committed to making sure we obtained what we needed (that we were happy and pleased) with what was captured with our engagement pictures, our love story video that he shot, and our wedding. Throughout all of those shoots, he would check in with us to be sure we were happy with the moments and the footage being captured. In addition to the high-quality work, Mike was extremely accessible, which significantly decreased the stress of wedding planning. He was always open to having a conversation, you never felt rushed when speaking with him, and his times when we could reach him were flexible. He is willing to think outside of the box (our love story shoot is one example of us having an idea and a vision and he made it happen, exceeding our expectations and vision)! We also had a hiccup on the wedding day with our transportation to the gardens for the after ceremony pictures. This resulted in Mike and his team waiting for a significant amount of time at the gardens for our arrival. He was so patient!! Moreover, when we finally did arrive, he took his time with us and had us take many shots, again, checking in with us to be sure he captured what we were hoping to capture. We felt so fortunate to be working with Bella Luca on that day. Other vendors probably would have tacked on additional costs and fees. But that was not Mike's focus. His focus was on us, and our day. All deliverables were delivered on time, if not early. We couldn't be happier and have wonderful memories of working with him and everything produced that will give us much happiness for years!
Response from the Vendor on 10/24/2022
Thanks you so much for letting us be a part of your journey. We appreciate you thanks again.
I don't think we could've selected a better photography/videography duo! Given that my fiance and I were new to Memphis, we had absolutely no recs for photographers for our wedding. Like many of you are currently doing, I searched on The Knot and was thoroughly impressed by their work. Mike and Lisa exceeded our expectations! They were punctual, fun to work with, and answered all of our questions. Our guests enjoyed the photo booth, and we were able to cherish those pics the night of our wedding. This dynamic duo also coordinated times with our coordinator and made sure to focus on what our vision was for the day (providing insight in areas we weren't knowledgeable about). In addition to making our wedding day magical, they also took THEE best engagement pics ever!! When Mike and Lisa proved to us that we could turn a hotel lobby (their first time shooting there but who would've thought!) into a phenomenal engagement pic session, we knew we would have superb pics for our wedding! Please, if you are considering Bella Luca, I 100000000% percent urge you to use them! There are so many things to worry about for your wedding, but when it comes to them, pics/videography won't be one of them! I can't thank them enough for the memories they have given us! Did I mention that they are super affordable? The best decision we could've made!
Response from the Vendor on 10/24/2022
It was our pleasure to work with you both. Thanks for the trust.
Did an amazing job and we absolutely loved our photos and photo book. Very professional and responsive.
Absolutely wonderful! Very professional and the photos turned out beautiful! One of the most important things for my wedding to me was to have a great photographer and that's exactly what I got. I HIGHLY recommend!
Fun, patient, and easy to work with!
So professional! Pictures turned out amazing and turn around time was super quick! Michael guided us effortlessly and we enjoyed working with him for our wedding! Fully recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 10/18/2022
It was our pleasure working with you both. Thanks again
Bella Luca was an awesome choice for our wedding and engagement photos! Mike and Lisa were great to work with and made us feel comfortable the whole time. Our photos and video turned out amazing and we could not be happier with them! We would recommend Bella Luca Photography to anyone!
Response from the Vendor on 09/03/2022
Well thanks for the kind words. We had an amazing time with you through your journey together. It was our pleasure. Thanks again.
We had our engagement shoot & our wedding day photography handled by Bella Luca and we couldn't have been happier! They made the process super smooth, so we were relaxed and able to be ourselves which made the resulting photos perfect. The turnaround was very prompt as well. They were able to capture so many details of our wedding and created a seriously stunning photo album that will be treasured in our family. We would highly recommend Bella Luca's team to photograph your engagement or big day. Thank you Mike & Lisa for preserving the magic of our wedding in your beautiful photos—we are still beaming from ear to ear every time we look through our wedding album!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/24/2022
Hi Guys! Thanks so much for allowing us to be part of your fantastic journey. We will also cherish the memories of working with you both. Thanks again. Lisa & Mike G
My fiancé and I really enjoyed working with Mike during our wedding. He was efficient and professional. His photography is amazing and we are so looking forward to receiving our album! Our guests absolutely loved the photo booth and it was so easy and fun to use. We will definately use them again for our future photography needs!
Response from the Vendor on 10/18/2022
It was an amazing journey for sure. Thanks again.
Mike and Lisa did such an amazing job! They made the whole process fun and easy. They were very friendly and professional. They drove 3 hours each session to capture our engagement pictures and our wedding day. They gave us clear instructions on poses to do, and gave us an opportunity to do what we wanted as well. The wedding party initially said they were dreading hours of picture taking; however, they were pleasantly surprised that Mike and Lisa made it very enjoyable. We got our pictures back super quick and were so impressed by them! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them.
Mike and Lisa are absolutely amazing! They exceeded my expectations by far, from how organized and knowledgeable they are about their craft to everything that is included in their packages. Day of the wedding, they really helped me keep everything on track to ensure I got every single picture I could ever want. My guests LOVED the photo booth that they have, plus everybody got to take a home a copy of their pictures to keep. I will only be using them from now on for all of my future photography needs.
Such an incredible duo. Our favorite thing about them is how comfortable they make you feel in front of the camera during the shoots which is always a nerve racking experience. Very professional, and passionate about photography. We won’t let any other photographers take our pictures for the rest of our lives.
Easy to work with and quick to respond to all my questions and suggestions!
Joy to work with!

Mike and Lisa are awesome photographers. They took lots of amazing pictures that captured our perfect day. They were so friendly and very patient will our large bridal party the day of the wedding. They were so easy to work with from the moment we met them at the Pink Bridal Show. They are such an incredible team, and we highly recommend them.
They were pretty hands on. The pictures came out so BEAUTIFUL.
Bella Luca did an absolutely amazing job. They offer so many good photography package at such great prices. We did a package that included an engagement session and all day wedding photography and I couldn’t be more pleased. They are very easy to work with and get ahold of, and most importantly they are easy to take pictures with. They don’t make you feel awkward or make you pose in ways that look unnatural. They make you laugh and want to smile for the pictures. I truly enjoyed working with them and having them apart of my wedding day. They kept me, my husband, all of the bridal party, and the family all on track for the day with getting all of the pictures that we could possibly want, and not to mention how absolutely amazing all of the pictures turned out.
Response from the Vendor on 10/17/2019
Thanks Allysa G. We had an amazing time with you. Thanks for including us in your big day. It was an honor.
Mike and Lisa were fantastic. They did a wonderful job of capturing every single moment during our engagement photo shoot and on our wedding day. Even today, 10 months after our engagement shoot, we receive compliments on our engagement pictures. Bella Luca worked flawlessly with our planner to accommodate our tight wedding day schedule. Our guests really loved the custom guest signing book we got from Bella Luca as well as the Photo Booth. We had several guests after the wedding to comment on how the photographers were intent on capturing all possible pictures. You will not be disappointed with their work. Bella Luca is awesome and we would definitely recommend them for any of your photography needs.

Bella Luca Photography is the best photographer ever! From the engagement pictures to the wedding, everything was perfect! They are a super sweet couple & made taking pictures so much fun. They made everything go so smoothly and I didn’t have to worry about anything on my wedding day. Great turnaround time as well! I would highly recommend them & I will be using them in the future for other pictures as well!
I highly recommend Bella Luca photography! They are the BEST!
The level of artistry, detail, and professionalism cannot be matched. I was brought to tears from the beauty and memories Bella Luca was able to capture from our wedding day. We will be able to cherish and relive all of the beautiful moment from this day, for the rest of our lives. I cannot thank Bella Luca enough, they’ve exceeded all expectations!
Response from the Vendor on 10/17/2018
Kelsey & James!! Both of you were the best. Being part of your journey was an amazing experience for us, and we are very grateful for your trust.
We had so much fun working with them and they were very patient with all of our tedious request.
I love love LOVE Bella Luca Photography! They were very professional and very easy to talk to! They did an excellent job taking pictures of the engagement session and on my wedding day! Just to say how much coverage they do on the wedding day for mine they took over 800 pictures! They didn't miss anything on my wedding day! I could not have chosen a better photography group to take the pictures for me!
Bella Luca was awesome for the entire wedding experience. They were always attentive to questions we had leading up to the big day. Their pictures turned out beautiful!! We could not have been more pleased with the engagement session and wedding day pictures! Mike and his wife Lisa were so nice and make you feel so comfortable during the whole process! You will not be disappointed if you choose Bella Luca Photography for your wedding, they are AMAZING!!
Hi, Mike performed nothing short of a miracle for us. We had taken our engagement pictures on the worst possible day. It was gloomy, cold and starting to become rainy again. Mike had already rescheduled once because of the rain. We could not reschedule again because of my make-up artist's schedule. Mike and Lisa arrived on time and were even kind enough to help us carry our stuff into the garden. Mike is very funny and will put any anxious bride to ease. Mike and Lisa are super amazing to work with. We changed into many outfits, and they did not complain at all. We were able to get a great variety of pictures for our guestbook. We highly highly recommend Mike as your photographer. He will make your pictures look good rain or shine!
I am so ridiculously happy with Bella Luca. Mike and Lisa are amazing. Our pictures from both the engagement shoot and the wedding turned out better than I could have hoped. Mike is very quirky and fun and puts you as ease while photographing you. He had a very dry sense of humor, which I loved. He didn’t make us feel awkward at all while we were having our picture taken hundreds of times. The quality of the pictures is unmatched. We got our photos back yesterday, and we spent HOURS going through them. I couldn’t believe how beautiful and artsy they were. Even simple photos of the cake and flowers were outstanding. I would HIGHLY recommend Bella Luca Photography. You won’t regret it.

Lisa & Mike
My wedding pictures are BEAUTIFUL! Bella Luca Photography has done my family’s pictures for years and years & i wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to capture my big day. They are very professional and have such an eye for detail. Thank you Mike & Lisa!
Great couple to work with! Very professional, pictures were perfect, coffee table book is my favorite, photo booth was a hit at my wedding. Bella Luca definitely deserves a 5 star rating.
Mike and Lisa were perfect and so professional! They knew exactly what to do and how to get the bridal parties attention when needing to take photos. They kept it fun! They exceeded our expectations and we are so thankful we chose them to capture the most important day of our lives!
Mike and Lisa were so great. They helped make our day so special. At no time during our wedding did I have to worry about the photography as I knew it was in good hands. They are very professional and fairly priced. I would highly recommend them.
Response from the Vendor on 10/29/2017
Bonnie & Mike. Thanks for the kind review. Lisa and I enjoyed the journey with you both. Loved the engagement session, especially the shots in Bonnie's art studio. The wedding day was beautifull, some of our favorite images for sure.
Thanks Yo...
u Mike & Lisa
Bella Luca Photography does not disappoint!! I found Mike and Lisa at The Pink Bride show and immediately threw all the other photographers I was considering out the window and booked them THAT DAY. I was in awe of the photos they had on display and knew that our wedding had to have these photographers. The way they capture a moment really is incredible. We have not stopped getting compliments on our photos since they have gone on the website! Having the photobooth there was also super fun for everyone, and having those pictures forever is so great! I look through our album all the time and will cherish every moment because of Bella Luca. Thank y'all so so much for everything you do! I recommend, 100%!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/29/2017
Kayla & Jake. Wow thanks for this amazing review. Yes it has been a journey from meeting you at the Pink Show, booking, engagement, bridal session and finally the windy wedding day. We loved working with you, Jake, your family and friends. Lisa...
and I will cherish your friendship, and your beautiful images.
Thank You Lisa & Mike G
Mike and Lisa are an absolute joy to work with! We could not have asked for a better team to capture our wedding day.
Mike and his wife, Lisa, were such a joy from the beginning! They traveled to Tupelo, MS for our engagement shoot and our wedding. We were so happy with not only the photos, but how comfortable they made us feel. My husband can't stand having his picture taken, and he loved them too! That says a lot! No one around this area had heard of Bella Luca really until we used them and since, they've gained clients in Tupelo! They even did my sisters senior portraits. Everyone who sees our pictures is in awe. We used them for videography too. I highly recommend Bella Luca to anyone!
Coming from someone who is a romantic, artistic, and loves wedding, I knew my photos and video would be my second most important thing to my wedding besides my dress. ;) I met Mike and Lisa by a wonderful accident through the wonderful lady who designed my ring. She too used Bella Luca as her photographer and after interviewing two other companies I decided to look into one more. It was the second best decision, besides the dress. ;) Mike was so easy to talk to on the phone and asked all the right questions to help me decide my best package to purchase for my wedding day. Mike and Lisa have a way of connecting with you so that you don't have awkward moments, you are part of their family. They captured every moment and more, at my enegament photos, bridal portraits, and wedding/reception. Ben and I to this day watch our video and say if we could go back to any day, it would be our wedding day. I feel like your photos and videos of your wedding should make the butterflies of excitement resurface in your stomach when you see or view them again. And that is what Bella Luca does. If you want memories and moments captured with love and just the right touch of light, make Bella Luca your wedding photographer and videographer. You won't be disappointed. They were easy to work with and easy to love. Ben and I can't wait to call them for maternity photos one day down the road. Thank you Bella Luca for capturing and being a part of my favorite day.

Thanks again Lisa & Mike
I am so glad we chose Bella Luca Photography. Michael and Lisa are absolutely wonderful to work with. We really enjoyed spending the day with them as they captured our wedding day. I almost teared up when I first saw the pictures, because they were all beautiful. My husband and our families really enjoyed seeing the pictures as well.
Michael & Lisa are two talented, wonderful photographers who will put you at ease in your own shoes, even if you’ve never felt incredibly comfortable in front of a camera. We have some of the most incredible wedding photos I’ve ever seen, and my husband and I both truly enjoyed working with them. They worked with us on multiple locations for our engagement photos, navigated the chaos of a forgotten bouquet for my bridal portraits, and captured the most tender, joyful moments from our wedding. I recommend them every single time someone asks about wedding photography, and I hope to use their skills again in the future.
The very best photographers! Mike and Lisa really are in a category by themselves. I felt completely confident they would capture our big day in the most beautiful way and I was blown away by the final result of their craft. Truly spectacular work. We were so blessed to have these two behind the lenses.
Response from the Vendor on 10/23/2017
Thank you Amanda & Brandon. You guys were the best. Every image reflects how much you love each other.
Thanks again Lisa & Mike G
As mother of the bride, I wanted my daughter’s wedding day memories captured perfectly and beautifully. I could not have asked for more perfect or beautiful pictures taken to remember this special day. Mike and Lisa are amazing! I highly recommend Bella Luca and I will definitely use them anytime I need professional photographs again.

Mike and Lisa captured our big day perfectly. They were so fun and flexible with our wedding day craziness! We also used them for our engagement session which was so cute we had a hard time narrowing down our save the date picture.

Thanks again Lisa & Mike
We were looking for a photographer that not only did great work, but was also affordable. Being a graphic designer, I was very picky about the quality of work. We had it down to two photographers and the reason why we went with Starlife Studios is because not only did they have excellant work, but they were more affordable than our other candidate. For the same price as the other guy, we got way more. I absolutely loved working with Starlife Studios. They are so nice and they do such a great job. I feel like you should spend the money on good photography because when it's all over with the pictures will be all you have left.
Great pics! Little pricy, but definately worth it.
They were so amazing! Fun to work with and GREAT work!
