The Story Behind Bella Grey, as Told to Orlando Voyager

Lately I have been told to share my testimony

So, when Orlando Voyager asked, I said yes. And I told them our version. The one that starts long before I ever picked up a camera.

You can read the full Orlando Voyager interview here. Below, I’m sharing the parts that matter most to the couples and families we serve.

The quick answer: Bella Grey Photography & Studio is an Orlando wedding photographer and videographer team led by Andrea Wilson and her husband Tee. Founded in 2017 and named after our children, Bella and Grey, we specialize in true-to-color, editorial storytelling for weddings across Central Florida, Walt Disney World, and destination celebrations. We also photograph maternity, newborn, and family sessions.

How Bella Grey Began: A Story About Time

My story starts with wanting to be a mother.

I married in 2007. For years, nothing happened. Test after test came back negative. In that same season I lost my job, and my marriage ended. I moved to the Miami area and rebuilt my life from nothing.

On February 14, 2014, I sat alone in my kitchen and prayed to become a mother.

Not long after, I met my husband Tee. He became my partner in life and in this business. Then Bella was born. And everything about how I saw time changed.

Life moves fast. The little moments don’t wait for us to notice them.

So I picked up a camera. I didn’t want to miss my own children’s small moments. The ones we don’t realize we’ll want back for the rest of our lives.

That turned into something bigger. A calling to help other families keep those same moments. Then our son Grey arrived. Both of our children are in the name. Bella Grey.

Today we’re a wedding photography and videography studio based in Orlando. We serve Central Florida, Walt Disney World, and couples traveling in for destination weddings.

What Makes Us Different as an Orlando Wedding Photographer

It isn’t a technique. It’s a feeling.

True-to-color, editorial storytelling. Skin, flowers, dresses, and venues stay the way they looked in real life. No heavy filters. No manufactured perfection. Twenty years from now, your photos should still look like your day.

Disney wedding experience. Disney weddings have their own venues, timing, and logistics. We know them well. We guide our couples through every piece so they can stay present.

No package numbers. Every wedding is different. Every family is different. We take the time to know you, because your story deserves more than a generic approach.

A team we’re proud of. Experienced, talented people with beautiful stories of their own. I believe creatives can do what they love and still build real stability. Giving people that chance matters to me.

And here’s what I want you to know.

If none of us had bills to pay, we’d still do this work. We love it that much.

The Road Wasn’t Smooth. It Shaped How We Work.

I spent years in a very structured corporate world. The creative industry doesn’t work that way. I had to learn a new field and hold onto what worked about who I was.

I also had to unlearn something creatives hear a lot. That this path means choosing instability. I don’t believe that anymore.

In 2021, I was furloughed during an already heavy season. I’m still sitting with that chapter. I’ll share more when I’m ready.

And growth has been its own kind of hard. Building a team. Trusting other people with something that started out so personal. Learning that leading with heart still takes boundaries, standards, and hard decisions.

None of it was smooth. But every part of it shaped how we care for our couples and families today.

What an Heirloom Photo Really Is

There are small moments we don’t know we’ll want back. A smile. A hand on a shoulder. A loved one’s face, exactly as it was.

A photograph takes you right back.

So when I photograph a wedding, an engagement, or a family session, I’m not documenting an event. I’m helping a family keep something they’ll hold onto for generations.

What This Means for You, If You’re Planning an Orlando or Disney Wedding

Your wedding moves fast. We slow it down so you feel all of it.

Here’s what that looks like when you work with us:

• We get to know you first. Your people. Your story. What matters most.
• We guide your timeline and build in buffers, so the day never rushes you.
• At Disney, we handle the timing and the details that catch couples off guard.
• Your photos stay true to color. Real skin. Real flowers. Real light.
• Photo and film can come from one connected team, so nothing gets lost between vendors.

We’ve also built real relationships with trusted wedding vendors. Many of them offer our couples a small thank you, simply because of that relationship.

You’re in good hands. We guide every step of the way.
