We loved working with Bella Reel! They did an incredible job capturing the small and big moments throughout our day. We couldn't recommend them more.
Bella Reel is the perfect videographer for your special day! They did such an amazing job capturing our wedding day and we are so happy with the result.
Chelsey was a great partne...
r throughout the process as well. She met with us ahead of time to discuss the day of plan and what we wanted from our video. She also coordinated with our photographer to get the best shots to complement what pictures we’re getting taken as well. We were blown away with the aerial shots her team got of downtown Detroit and loved the final edit of our footage!
Thanks so much Chelsey! Bella Reel made our day all the better!
The Bella Reels team was an absolute DREAM to work with! They captured our day so perfectly with a video that we will cherish forever. They were also so detail oriented making sure...
to capture every single moment both big and small throughout our day. They were kind, considerate, and so wonderful to work with. They made sure they had captured every single part of our day before they left for the night, and our amazing collection of videos speak to that commitment to excellence! We were referred by friends who had used them in the past and I will be recommending them to anyone and everyone moving forward as well!! Book Chelsey and her team NOW!!
Chelsey from Bella Reel was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was great leading up to my wedding, especially in putting together a filming schedule/plan for my wedding day. Du...
ring the wedding, she knew exactly how to pose me and had a great eye on what shots to take. The highlight tape and raw footage that we received after the wedding were amazing! The videos truly captured the day! I highly recommend the drone footage. It was so worth it! On top of that, the videos were sent ahead of schedule for my review. I cannot thank Chelsey enough for her time and energy that she put towards the videos. She is the best!
Chelsey and her team are amazing!! So warm from our very first email exchange and she made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The videos they edited and produced ...
are absolutely amazing and capture the emotion of the day so well. We will be watching these videos for years to come!
Book ASAP! Working with Chelsey and Bella Reel Films was nothing short of an amazing experience from start to finish. Not only is she incredible at her work, but Chelsey and her te...
am are accommodating and simply just awesome people to have with you throughout your wedding day! Chelsey is just a joy to work with - from planning, discussing wedding day details, and any additional questions/concerns I had for her, she was flexible, organized, and quick to respond. Chelsey also offered the best advice which not only helped our day to run smoothly, but guaranteed that every moment was captured with the best quality - she is absolutely an expert in this field! We are so happy with how amazing each moment was captured, especially the moments we may have not witnessed ourselves. Our highlight film portrayed our day with perfection and my husband and I have already watched it so many times since we’ve gotten it! We could not be happier with our choice of videographer, I highly recommend Bella Reel!
Chelsey with Bella Reel Films was absolutely amazing and we could have not gone with a better wedding videographer. The moments that were captured throughout our wedding day are pr...
ecious. One of my biggest fears was that the da would go by so quick and I wouldn't be able to remember all of the little moments. Watching all of the footage really brings me back to that day where I can relive and feel those moments all over again. Our highlight film is absolutely perfect. My husband and I watch it pretty frequently and love showing it off to family and friends whenever we get the opportunity. Chelsey also provided us with so much raw footage and bonus clips. It's fun to watch everything that was going on in a different place or that I didn't experience (my husband requesting his hair and makeup to be done haha). WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND BELLA REEL FILMS!
Chelsey was extremely professional and so pleasant to work with. She was the sweetest, so easy to work with, brought so much happy energy to the day, and helped out beyond creating...
beautiful memories of us. I needed backings to my earrings and she pulled hers off to give to me. I needed bobby pins and she was all over it. She made us feel comfortable all day. She also worked very well with our photographer. The trailer we received is so freaking good too. We can't wait for the entire highlight video. I definitely recommend Chelsey and her team (we had Amber that day, but I am sure everyone is great!).
I can't recommend Bella Reel enough! Chelsey was incredible to work with and some of my friends have already booked her for their wedding day after seeing our videos. She was respo...
nsive, organized, and incredibly timely with her delivery. I was shocked to see our full-length videos the day after our wedding and our highlights video just a week after! Chelsey made a couple of edits that I asked for and made a beautiful video that captured our day and our personal style so perfectly.
I highly recommend Bella Reel as your wedding videographer! Chelsey and her team were amazing to work with. Aaron and the other team members that were a part of our special day ext...
remely professional, prompt, and thorough. Thank you for capturing every moment and detail of our wedding day. We can't wait to see the final product!

eos are AMAZING! She captured every moment and detail and the final video edits are incredible.
I will admit that I relinquished the responsibility of choosing our videographer to my mother and thank goodness she has the good sense to choose Chelsey and Bella Reel. I have a l...
ot of friends getting married right now and I’ve heard several of them question the value in videography - many of the asked me if it was truly worth the expense. The answer is an obvious YES, and Chelsey and her team truly demonstrated this to me. The reality is your wedding day goes by so fast, there are so many times you wish you could press pause so that you don’t forget to remember anything. Spoiler alert - you cannot do this at your actual wedding but you CAN do this in your wedding videos. Chelsey caught so many priceless moments that I didn’t even realize she was filming, and I just sobbed when I watched some of it back out of gratitude that these special moments were captured so perfectly. I just cannot recommend Bella Reel highly enough - we were so grateful to work with them!
Our wedding was Nov. 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. Despite the stress of the pandemic & ever-changing plans/venues, etc., Chelsey/Bella Reel was flexible & professional & stoo...
d by our side through it all! She captured every single magic moment on our special day. She was a pleasure to work with. Her smile & positive attitude kept things light & fun & she made us feel totally comfortable being in front of the camera. Our video turned out absolutely stunning. She captured everything including the intimate, emotional moments. The editing was perfect & felt young & modern & included great music & aerial shots. She gave us good direction & everything looked & felt effortless. We recommend Chelsey/Bella Reels to all of our friends for their weddings. Every time we watch our video it brings us to tears. We can't thank her enough for capturing one of the most important days of our lives so beautifully.
Chelsey is great! She is sweet and bubbly and makes you feel comfortable while filming your wedding day! We hired her for our wedding and due to COVID we did a small wedding in 202...
0 and a bigger party in 2021 and she was there for both! She is reliable and really captures the day! She is creative which makes for great and fun footage. We highly recommend her for your events!
So happy with my experience with Bella Reel!!! So professional and such amazing work. We got back our videos so quick! The crew was so friendly and made us feel comfortable. Highly...
recommend, it has been so amazing to fully look back on the details of our special day!! Thank you SO much.
What initially drew me to Chelsey was her fun and bubbly personality. She felt like a close friend as we talked through details for our wedding and how a videographer would fit in....
She’s a great listener and planner and knew exactly what I was going through planning a covid wedding and the uncertainty I was feeling. Before the wedding day, she worked with us to plan our entire day so a moment wouldn’t be missed and we knew exactly what to film. Day of the wedding, she was early and went straight to work capturing the wedding in our house and down the street at another location. Chelsey had great ideas for fun videos and captured all the moments throughout the day. Our dinner was unexpectedly delayed which altered our order of events - Chelsey even stayed a little later to make sure she got the first dances at the end of the night. She is someone who goes above and beyond - she definitely even pulled a spider off my dress while we were out getting videos and pictures! I would 100% recommend Chelsey/Bella Reel and strongly encourage anyone who hadn’t thought of videography to add it in. It gave me so much joy to watch our video and relive the moments while also seeing some parts of the day I hadn’t seen before. The video is so beautifully done and I was also happy with the price we paid. All of the transitions are so seamless and she captured the best parts of our day in our highlight video. You can tell she loves her job and is so happy to be present through her attitude and amazing video editing skills. We are so thankful our micro covid wedding was captured by Chelsey and we can look back on this day forever. Thank you, Chelsey! 💕
One of the most important aspects my (then) fiancé and I wanted to invest in was videography services for our wedding. We wanted something to remember for months and years to come,...
not just to show our friends and family, but to reminisce later. We were willing to invest in an excellent videographer.
We researched many, but I found Chelsea at Bella Reel because I work in the wedding industry conducting social media for a wedding barn (the same one I got married at). And Chelsea had shot her friend’s wedding at the barn so I was acquainted with her work and impressed.
So, I was thrilled when she was available on our date. But beyond thrilled working with her on the wedding.
She worked well with our photographers and all of us in the wedding party. She is fun and easy to work with, hard working, running around to capture all the important moments, and creative, capturing unique footage (like interviewing my mom about our family’s restored ’39 Chevy used in the wedding), and other fun shots.
And her experience is proven as she mic’d my fiancé to capture our personalized vows, worked with our DJ regarding the ceremony and reception sound, and kept both a camera for still footage and one she held. This allowed her to capture different angles, which we appreciated.
And she provided full edits of the prep, ceremony, and reception footage a few days after the wedding! That was special to watch because the wedding day goes by so fast, that to re-watch just brought all the feels from the wedding! And we were able to watch some footage that we hadn’t seen like behind-the-scenes interviews and preparation. She has as great eye for the right footage and shots!
My husband and I are very happy with Chelsey and her services!
Chelsey and her team were amazing! I was a bit nervous having a videographer as I am not a ‘center of attention’ kind of person, but she did amazing work without feeling intrusive ...
in any way. I am so impressed by every clip she has sent us, and I am writing this before I even receive our full video (so that says a lot). Everything feels so effortless and real, not cheesy or stereotypical in any way. You will not regret choosing Bella Reel to capture your day. Amazing work & amazing people!
Chelsea and her team are amazing!! They captured our special day exactly as we remember it being - amazing. It was fantastic having Chelsea there; she even helped the photographer ...
get some great pictures. We also received our video from Chelsea in record time - within just a few weeks! We would recommend this team to everyone! Thanks Chelsea for capturing our special day in such a special way.
I can not recommend Chelsey and her team more! They were absolutely amazing to work with before our wedding day and on our wedding day (Chelsey & Mike). When my fiancé and I got en...
gaged we both agreed that we did not want a videographer because neither of us is comfortable in front of the camera, and on our wedding day we did not want to feel awkward with cameras in our face. Well, when it came time to pick our venue I began to watch strangers wedding videos to see different videos, and I quickly saw the value in having a videographer. Also, when I spoke with other people and asked them there biggest regret/thing they are glad they did for their wedding it was always not having a videographer or having a videographer. When it came time to find a videographer we wanted someone that would catch all of the special moments throughout the day without overproducing it and making my fiancé and I do things we were not comfortable with. Bella Reel exceeded our expectations! They were more a fly on the wall capturing all of the candid moments, and we absolutely love everything we have seen thus far. The day after the wedding, Chelsey had already posted a few videos from our wedding one of which I had totally forgotten about and it was such a special moment during the day. Also, just a few days after the wedding we had our full ceremony, dances, toasts, and entrance video. Having these so quickly after our wedding was amazing, and we watch them frequently. I can not reiterate enough how great Chelsey and Mike were to work with, all of our family and wedding party agreed, and if you need a videographer for your wedding book Bella Reel now!
Chelsey and her team were wonderful to work with. Chelsey answered all my questions before we even hired her so that I understood exactly what we could expect from her service. Sh...
e communicated with us prior to the wedding day to make sure our timeline was right. Once the ceremony started we didn't even notice she was filming. Very easy and fun!
