Hello and welcome!
We’re Brian and Daniela, a husband-and-wife photography and videography team based in Wake Forest, North Carolina. Together, we share a passion for storytelling, a deep appreciation for life’s most meaningful moments, and a love for serving others through our craft.
We’re the proud parents of Matthew Alexander and Sarah Joyce, and we hold the memory of our beloved Ethan Alexis, who watches over us from heaven, close to our hearts.

Nova Vista Photography & Film was born from our shared expertise in photography, marketing, and our genuine love for people and weddings. It’s our joy to serve couples by preserving the beauty, joy, and emotion of their most cherished moments.

This wedding day was full of beauty, laughter, and the kind of moments that stay with you forever. One of the most touching threads woven throughout? The bride’s daughter. 💖
From helping her mom into her wedding dress and carefully slipping on her shoes, to getting ready with the bridesmaids like one of the girls—she was deeply part of every part of the day. She walked her mama down the aisle alongside her brother, received a special gift from the bride and groom, and stood close for the cake cutting. 🍰
And just when you thought it couldn’t get sweeter… she and her brother totally stole the show during the reception entrance—tossing T-shirts to cheering guests like mini hype crew members! 🎉💃
A wedding day that felt like family, legacy, and joy all wrapped into one.

When two become one! I was thinking recently as I placed the rings together of how much they complement and complete each other. One cannot stand on it’s own and the other glows in beauty making both look stunning! 🤩

Drew + Amber, the sweetest couple and such a joy to photograph their wedding day 💘 We love that they trusted us, even through a moment when unpredictable things happened during their big day. As photographers, our focus remains (no pun intended) and we were still able to get beautiful shots while things were getting sorted out and in a way bring them back from a stressful situation to enjoying their special day. Fast forward to a few weeks back when we delivered their gallery, we all agreed what was most important; the laughs, tears of joy, special vows exchanged, the dancing and celebration, all those moments were ALL there, and with the most amazing bubble exit! 🫧

Today we got to deliver to our lovely couple “M & JM” their photo album and wall art! If you could only see their faces! 😍 We are so passionate about the work we do and it doesn’t end for us after the wedding day has passed. We get to plan your most precious memories before, during and after the wedding. That piece of wall art which will remind you of the best day of your lives each time you pass by it, and seeing your wedding album with family, friends and then when your family starts to grow, it is just the best feeling ever! To know we get to create those moments that will forever be with you is PRICELESS and we are eternally thankful you choose us! ⭐️

We were recently talking to a couple about their vows for their wedding later this year and I stumbled upon this photo and was thinking … her hair, makeup, dress and all the details are on point. Are you taking a moment, this moment right here when you get to stop and read your vows to yourself, no longer dreaming but now making it a reality!? The excitement is there as you are ready to read them to your groom privately or witnessed by your loved ones, or both! Because, why not!? 😉 Either way, we are with you every step of the way, documenting your magical day through the best way we know how, through our lens! Not only photography but also video 💕
