Bellavista Wedding Photography

An Italian Restaurant Wedding Venue

If you want great wedding food plus a wedding venue nestled on the side of a hill for the perfect sunset then The Bellavista in Rochdale has it all for you. I love photographing weddings here and have done so many times over the years. It’s a really specially wedding venue.

Planning your special day at Bellavista?

Bellavista is such a beautiful place which I have photographed so many times. I love returning time and time again so why not drop me message and find out a little more?

Behind the Scenes at Bellavista

Through the magic of a 360 camera, I’m able to capture behind-the-scenes content on my wedding days to show my current and future couples exactly what it would like for them to have me along at their Bellavista wedding day

All of these videos and more are captured in the most subtle way making sure to not disrupt the wedding day at all. I feel the connection between a couple and their photographer is a really important factor hence why I wanted to show this part of my work as well. I’m not like every wedding photographer and showing you these behind-the-scenes videos from Bellavista hopefully helps me to reinforce that statement.

If you are still looking at wedding photographers’ websites and have come to Adam’s website, look no further, you’ve found your photographer!

From our initial meeting with Adam right the way through to our wedding he was approachable, helpful and always happy to offer advice when we weren’t sure about things.We initially met over Zoom and after spending 2 hours chatting we knew he was the best person for the job. Closer to the wedding he came over to our house and we discussed the photos we wanted and the logistics of the day

We couldn’t be more pleased with our photographs, they completely encapsulated the joy of the day.

The History of Bellavista

The story of Bellavista by San Rocco started back in 1982 when the venue first opened its doors on the site of an 18th-century barn. Bellavista is an authentic Italian restaurant, which is why it is also commonly known as ‘Bellavista Ristorante’. Upstairs in the venue, you will find ‘Bellavista pizzeria’ where the most incredible pizzas are freshly made.

Since Bellavista first opened its doors, it has evolved into not only a restaurant but a stylish and exciting spot for parties, weddings and other events.

The venue has been beautifully maintained, with gorgeous gardens and views over the stunning Rochdale countryside.
Over the years, Bellavista has become known for its unique blend of rustic charm and modern elegance. This place has a real warm and welcoming feel – Just one of the many reasons I love it!

Bellavista Weddings

Bellavista offers two awesome function suites, Altavista and Bassavista, both licensed for civil ceremonies and perfect for different reasons.

The Altavista is a light, spacious room with glass doors leading to the terrace and gardens (which is ideal for photos!) It’s got a wooden floor, ideal for dancing, and bi-fold doors opening to a glass balcony with breathtaking views. The Bassavista is more intimate with glass all around and doors leading to the gardens, great for smaller gatherings.

As you can imagine, every Bellavista wedding benefits from incredible menus. This place is the perfect choice for all those ‘foodie’ couples out there!

The Bellavista wedding staff are friendly and attentive, to say the least. They will be there every step of the way, ensuring no dramas or disasters on your big day.

So, if you’re looking for a wedding venue that’s got that perfect mix of charm, elegance, countryside magic and mouthwatering food, a Bellavista wedding is most probably up your street.

A Bellavista Wedding photographer

No matter your race, colour, creed, or sexuality, you are everything to me. I wouldn’t live this incredible photography dream job without you. I can’t help but be your absolute wedding hero.

My couples are usually super down to earth and are planning a relaxed fun wedding day surrounded by all those people they love. I love a party! So when it comes to weddings I can’t help but get wrapped up in the magic of your day. Getting so stuck in with your wedding allows me to translate so much more feeling into my photographs. At some point, you’ll want a few awesome photographs of the two of you. These photographs will take minutes and not hours so we can get straight back to the party. Oh and those family formal portraits, don’t worry about them, they’ll be zero hassle.

With my super extraverted personality I’ll be one of the most excited guests from the moment I arrive. It won’t take your wedding party long to assume we are lifelong friends.
