Doesn't pay attention to detail and pictures didn't even look edited or professional!
I can't possibly say enough about Laura! When I was introduced to her we clicked immediately and she felt like a long lost friend. She went above and beyond for our destination wedding to Louisiana. Weddings in general can cause some anxiety but a destination wedding brings a whole new level of difficulty. She laid all of our concerns to rest and come the big day she fit seamlessly in with our whole family. Her work is completely amazing and reasonably priced for the quality of work you are receiving. If you have the opportunity to work with Laura please take it, I only wish we lived closer so I could take advantage of her brilliant work more often.
Laura is an amazing photographer! She was able to tame my rowdy wedding party; especially the groomsmen! She made taking photos fun & seamless! Even after the groom through a curve ball in our original plans she was able to quickly adjust accordingly!
Thank you thank you a million times!
Laura and her assistant/husband (Paul) were AMAZING! They were so much fun to be around, well organized and definitely experienced. I cannot wait to see how our wedding pictures turned out!
Laura is AMAZING. She did our engagements, bridals, and our wedding day, she has the best personality and makes you feel so calm throughout the entire day for every occasion. She is the absolute best. I wish I could give more than 5 stars💖
Absolutely AMAZED by our photographer. Hands down the best ever!! If you want someone who can capture your perfect day in all of its true beauty, she’s definitely your girl! Thank you for absolutely everything!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Laura was amazing!! She did my bridals and my wedding photos. I received a sense of calm during the first shoot (bridals). I had been so stressed with the wedding and was stressed about taking pictures. Laura and her husband made it very enjoyable, and there was an ease to working with her. She knew exactly where she wanted me to pose and knew exactly what she was doing. The bridals came out quickly and looked BEAUTIFUL! The wedding day was just as easy! Her and her crew had everything covered and even got together a quick slide show mid wedding for the guests to see. It was a wonderful surprise and my guests loved it! They couldn’t stop talking about it!
I know there’s a lot of choices out there when it comes to photographers, and it’s hard to know if you’re choosing the right person for the job. You will not be let down going with Bella Voi! My pictures were amazing and you get the most bang for your buck. She has many packages to choose from to fit everyone’s need, and the biggest plus was that I didn’t have to stress out about making sure I had her booked for the right amount of hours. She’s there with you the whole night. You won’t be disappointed! Thanks Laura!
Laura, her husband Paul, and our second shooter Ashley were amazing on our wedding day! They knew our photo schedule was tight and showed up early to start shooting to make sure I had all of the pictures that I wanted. Laura is so easy to work with and got along great with the bridal party and family during photo times! They gave us great advice to write a list of all of the family photos that we wanted and I was surprised how smoothly it went! Laura has a very artistic perspective on wedding photos and I was so grateful for her husband Paul and second photographer Ashley who walked around our reception all night to capture all of the fun! My husband and I cannot wait to see how wonderful our wedding photos turn out! Thanks so much Laura, Paul, and Ashley!
I’m not even sure where or how to explain how hurt and disappointed I am to have to even write this review. From the beginning of our time together Laura and I hit it off instantly. She was right up my alley as far as personality and everything. She even worked at the restaurant my husband and I met. She did an amazing job on our engagement photos and my bridals were to die for. She even worked with us during a rough patch during our wedding planning with payments. I was super excited to have her capture one of the most important days of my life especially after our dynamic together. Well that excitement quickly faded once I realized there were no pictures of my husband and I from the wedding. No formal nice pictures of just the two of us. It breaks my heart because it’s the one thing I was looking forward to more than any bride could imagine. What bride doesn’t want to look at her gorgeous wedding photos? Pictures that she can pass down for generations? It’s heartbreaking and disappointing to see the effort and work put into other pics in her gallery, and see mine and be brought to tears. She did offer to do a shoot for us, but my husband doesn’t find its ok to have to pay for hair, makeup, etc when it could have been done the day of. Another reason why it took me so long to write this....😒 It’s just heartbreaking and disappointing because I genuinely love this woman, but I’m completely unhappy with my pics.
I cannot say enough about how amazing Laura is. She has a fantastic eye for the best shots, really takes time to get to know her couples and joke with them, and produces just the best quality work. I would choose her ten times over for weddings and every future event I have. She became family throughout the whole wedding process. If you’re looking at reviews for a sign, this is it. Hire Bella Voi as your photographer and you will not regret it. The best money I have ever spent.
I attended a wedding where Bella Voi was the photographer. She was there super early, she was very friendly & professional! I was even more impressed when I saw the photos! One word...WOW!
Let me just start by saying OMG my pictures are amazing! I look amazing! She was amazing! Everything was just amazing. Working with Laura was more than just a vendor client relationship it was fun. She kept us laughing and comfortable which makes it so much easier to have all eyes on you when you are having fun. She really took the time to get to us, not sure our wedding but us personally. I felt like she put so much time and attention into us and it just adds to her perfection! YOU HAVE TO BOOK HER!
I could not be happier with having Bella Voi (Laura) as a photographer! She went above and beyond, as far as getting us drinks after we did family photos since my coordinator was no where around. How many photographers can say do that for you?? She was right next to use every step of the way making sure to capture everything and never skipping a beat. If you want the best you want her!
I am beyond pleased with the beauty that Laura captured in the wedding that we face for my niece, Kelly Crawford Smith, in my back yard on 10/20/19. When true love shines in the eyes of the bride and groom, and that moment is forever captured by the photographer helping to tell the story...well that moment is not only immortalized, but priceless. Laura helped me give my niece the wedding that her parents would have been so proud to call their own. Brava!
Bella Voi is hands down just spectacular. Laura was scheduled to shoot my wedding and broke her foot the week of and still came. I have so many fantastic photos from her and she was on a scooter or in a wheel chair the whole time. She even had a backup not like she needed one she did so well!! I wish I could share the photo of her backwards in the wheelchair of her so determined to get the photo she wanted to get in time! The photos are fantastic I wouldn’t have changed a thing she captured everything MULTIPLE times so I can choose the PERFECT photo. I LOVE IT SO MUCH I HAVE SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM FOR EACH MOMENT!! I wouldn’t change my decision or have even taken a free photographer over her I’m soooo happy I spent the money and she captured absolutely everything perfectly.
Grooms opinion: Very Dedicated (he’s not a man of many words lol)
Amazing! Laura and her husband went above and beyond for us the day of the wedding and the days leading to it. And also during our engagement pictures. She truly listens to your vision and does everything she can to make that happen Even with me changing the location of pictures the night before the wedding. Honestly couldn’t be happier with our experience.
After stalking the Bella Voi Facebook page for awhile, and loving everything we saw, we decided to hire Laura to take my daughter and now son-in-law’s engagement pictures. He was only in town for a short time on leave from the Navy and Laura was able to squeeze in a last minute session before he left...during Christmas holidays...and on her husbands birthday!!! Something she most definitely did not have to do but was appreciated more than she could imagine! She had everyone laughing and relaxed during the photo session and the pictures came out amazingly beautiful. My daughter treasured having these photos during those months she was separated from her fiancé when he returned to base. Seven months later, Laura was there for my daughter’s big day! She set up our whole timeline for the day, which to us was amazing and made our day stress free! We are so in love with all of the amazing pictures from the wedding! Every single one is more beautiful than the next. It was a fairytale wedding and I’m so happy Laura was able to capture it all so beautifully so we can relive this day whenever we look at them.
I cannot even begin to explain how amazing Laura is, both as a person and a photographer. I wasn't planning on hiring a photographer for my wedding in May until literally a month before, and Laura was more than happy to jump right in despite the fact it was so last minute! She is everything I needed in a photographer and then some, our wedding and day after shoot pictures came out absolutely gorgeous and Laura was a dream to work with in the stressful world of wedding planning. She will not hesitate to go above and beyond for you, and I can't thank her enough for her amazing work! Laura you are a gem and I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to have you as our photographer. ♡ If you're looking for amazing pictures from a super cool lady, stop looking now!!!
When only the BEST will do...
I met Laura 5 years ago when my son was in high school and we were looking for a photographer to have his senior photos taken. She made it fun and comfortable and she went the extra mile to get the perfect shots. She was very flexible as we had to work around bad weather on our scheduled date. We ended up getting a really cool shot of “the truck” with the gray sky in the background. It is my favorite photo. Boys love their trucks.
Fast forward 3 years and my parents were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. My father was just diagnosed with throat cancer and I called Laura to ask if she could do a photo shoot for my parents with a couple of days notice just before his cancer surgery that left him with a stoma. His surgery was extremely risky and we didn’t know if he would survive it. Their lives changed forever and we wanted to capture them before the surgery. She worked us into her schedule immediately and was able to get the most beautiful shots of them that we will keep forever. There are no words to express how much we treasure those photographs.
Now my son is engaged to be married next year and we didn’t even consider anyone else to shoot their wedding. My intended daughter in law and her mom met with Laura and fell in love with her and her beautiful work.
She does amazing work and has the creative eye that only comes with years of experience. She and Paul make you feel like one of the family. They are so fun and take the stress out of everything to let you relax and enjoy your experience. I seriously can’t wait for the wedding! I know Laura will capture all the love on their wedding day. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!
When we have grandbabies I’ll call Laura for all their milestones. She’s not just another photographer, she’s a friend for life. She puts her heart and soul into her work and it shows.
"You get what you pay for," the saying is true. Laura fit my parents' budget but my mom and I both regret not spending more.
Laura had a malfunction with one of her SD cards after my wedding back in. She told me she lost about 20 photos including the cake cutting. I was crushed and when I told my parents, my father told me to ask for a partial refund. Laura said she could give me $50. I was pretty upset that my memories were only worth $50 but I was willing to work with her when she offered to give me a small photoshoot to make up for it. We have been unable to coordinate a make up due to both her and our busy schedules. I am still receiving a lot of comments from family about how upset they are that we are missing certain photos.
The more I thought about it I realized that she lost a lot more than 20 photos and the ones she lost were the sentimental ones.
- Multiple cake cutting photos including our toast with our bridal party.
- my husband's 80 year old grandmother make his "grooms cake". I had her and him cut the cake together because she has been sick a lot lately and I knew that photo would mean the world to my husband.
-I hate taking shots but I specially took one with all of our groomsmen and brothers so that I could have that classic photo of the bride with the boys.
- we (my husband and I) also spent about 20 minutes on the dock at our venue with BOTH photographers. Not only did we not receive any of the photos on the dock but because the second photographer was there too we missed out on photos of the quest. (this is also the reason that I had to pay to get my dress cleaned because it was raining on the dock.)
I really liked laura as a person and I am sure without this malfunction I would have loved those photos but .... $50 for those very important memories....
Laura is great! I did a boudoir shoot for my husband and she made me feel extremely comfortable. I also got his little black book back in enough time to give it to him on his birthday before our wedding. On our wedding day, she made sure my dress was aligned and everything was placed well before she took a picture. At our reception she even helped pass out foam glow sticks to my guests because my coordinator was not around. I highly recommended Laura and her team.
As the mother of the bride, you want your daughter's wedding to be perfect down to every last detail. And you want to remember every single thing about that day. The day your one and only daughter says "I Do". I can tell you there will be things and moments you will miss, try as you may not too. Bella Voi Photography is one way of NOT missing the smallest of details. When a photographer can take a picture that brings out raw emotion in a photo and make someone fell it all over again...is a true gift. Capturing every second in such a creative light and view is Laura's forte. I would highly recommend Bella Voi Photography. Not only did I find an excellent photographer but I sincerely found a friend with an undying vision of love in it's truest form.
I highly recommend Bella Voi photography. Laura (the owner) was such a joy when I called her for the first time on the phone about her service, and I knew that I wanted them for our wedding. She was so much fun and easy to work with. They were so flexible and accommodating with us! They always look out for the couple's interest and that's a plus. Thank you so much Bella Voi!
Laura was amazing. She got to know my husband & I and made sure the day was everything WE wanted. Her husband is also an amazing help for those little things when she is busy taking the photos! I couldn’t imagine having anyone else apart of our day.
Bella Voi went above and beyond. I first met Laura during the most difficult time of my life, she was not only sensitive to my situation but time sensitive.
we hired Bella Voi for our formal ceremony and she made not only my husband and I comfortable but my guest and bridal party as well. We consider Bella Voi as part of our family now and I couldn't of asked for a better photography team.
All of my photos came out beautiful and I highly recommend Bella Voi to every bride possible.
For starters, Bella Voi went beyond what my budget paid for and Laura’s magic didn’t stop. From the engagement shoot down to the wedding that she graciously traveled all the way to Georgia just to bring my wedding and our love story to life. There was never a question unanswered. I never felt like a number or “one of many” clients. I know how busy Laura is, and she made me feel like I was the only client on her booking list. She really takes quality time for her brides! She took all the awkwardness away, she took all my insecurities away, and she made us enjoy each snap she took by each laugh she gave. Laura and her husband were more than just my photographers on my wedding day. We’ve built a friendship, and any thing I needed for a timeline or schedule she was there with all the right answers. The work of art Bella Voi displays is beyond phenomenal, and captured every detail of my fairytale wedding. I highly recommend Bella Voi for any photography shoot, and especially for such a special day as a wedding. Capturing love is Laura’s specialty.
Laura was a really excellent person to work with and we highly recommend her as a wedding photographer!! She is super friendly and professional and will make sure that you get all the photos that you're looking for on your wedding day. She worked with us to get the right poses and made sure that the pictures would come out beautifully. She was very acute to what we had requested and kept asking questions. She is great at picking poses and the gallery from our wedding is stunning. In addition, she is a lovely person and we are so happy we found her!
Laura and her husband were AMAZING!! She captured everything I wanted and more! She exceeded all my expectations and If I need a photographer in the New Orleans area she is definitely my #1 go to! You won’t regret booking her she is the absolute best! Thank you again!!!
When planning our wedding, one of the most stressful things was finding the right photographer to trust with capturing the moments during our wedding. I can not even begin to tell you how amazing Laura and her husband Paul are! From being so professional throughout the entire wedding; to laughing through the poses.. they are like the dream team! There was not a single time throughout the night that Laura hadn't already snapped a picture of something before I could even mention it! I don't even know what words to use to describe how our pictures look. Laura definitely has the eye for photography, she caught so many pictures that I would have never even thought about. When thinking of your wedding pictures, you always have an idea of what you want/ how you want them to look. Bella Voi blew my idea out of the water! These pictures are amazing!! If you are in the market for a wedding photographer, stop right now! Bella Voi is by far one of the best, if not THE BEST, wedding photographer in the New Orleans area. I can't thank them for the amazing pictures to forever remember our wedding night!
There are absolutely no amount of words that can describe how amazing Laura is. From the moment we had out consult I could tell she was the one I wanted to photograph my wedding. She was down to earth, fun, caring and she really wanted to best for us. I am so in LOVE with my photos. I mean WOW!! That's us! Laura went above and beyond for us, down to making sure I drank enough water. I would recommend her to anyone as would my family. She has become one of us! Thanks again for all that you do.
I could tell from our first meeting that Laura was very easy to get along with and made her clients feel comfortable. On the wedding day, Laura made sure to capture the details that I wanted, but also those special, candid shots of everyone enjoying the night. Her husband (Paul) was great also! He was a big help while my bridesmaids and I were waiting in the church rectory for the wedding to start! Our photos turned out beautiful and can't wait to order a few prints and albums, so we can give to family members and also display in our home. Laura also did a great job of delegating the group shots and making sure things ran smoothly and in a timely manner. I recommend Laura at Bella Voi Photography for wedding photography! She's awesome!
Laura is the best! She was so much fun and easy to work with! She always answered my millions of questions quickly and helped our wedding day go smoothly. Our pictures came out BEAUTIFUL! I would highly recommend her to anyone!
You NEED Laura and Paul to do your photos. Not only are they a wonderful professional team, but they will keep your whole wedding laughing during all the large family portraits. They did our engagement photos and our wedding - which included a first look. They were very flexible and accommodating when all of my 40 family members wanted individual pictures with me. Laura's pictures are absolutely stunning and Paul is a great charming assistant. I cannot recommend these two and their wonderful company enough!
Laura is great. She was fun to work with and has a great eye for pictures. I just wish I would have booked more time with her.
Laura is truly amazing at what she does. She pays attention to so many little details throughout the day. This was by far the best experience I had with any of my vendors. She was really like on of the family as we are so grateful to have had her by our sides. She is more than a photographer, she is a friend and someone you can really count on for your wedding day needs. Not to mention how amazing our wedding pictures turned out!! She was able to capture a side of John that is rarely seen. I am forever grateful!
I cannot say enough about Laura, Paul and Chic Boutique Photography!! From the very beginning, Laura was so enthusiastic and willing to provide any help and answer any question Tim and I could come up with about the wedding preparations. She was able to squeeze us for our engagement pictures last minute and on Mother's Day on top of that! She guided us on poses that look nice when we didn't know what to do, and she even accommodated us bringing our pup when we forgot to mention he was coming - and the pictures were stunningly beautiful!! For the wedding day, she and Paul were absolutely amazing - they were so kind as to deliver the letter Tim wrote to me so I could read it during the drive to the church, get all of the pictures I could have asked for taken with the girls all rushing around to get dressed in time, fix my veil and clip as they fell out of my hair during the reception, and much more!! I really appreciated that, although there was no time to take pictures with my bridesmaids before the wedding, she made it a point to get those pictures in at the reception for us! I can really tell that this is not just a job for Laura; she enjoys helping to make a bride and groom's big day the best that it can be, and we could not have chosen a better photographer to share in this memory that we will always cherish! Thank you, Laura, Paul, and Chic Boutique, for all that you did for us!!
Oh my god! If I could give Laura 10 stars, I would. She is beyond amazing, and that's before I go on about her actual photos/work. She is so friendly, heaps of fun to deal with, and makes you feel so relaxed when everything else can be quite stressful. I highly recommend Chic Boutique for your wedding needs plus more.
I highly recommend Chic Boutique Photography to anybody! Laura is so fun, easy to work with. From day 1 on the phone, I knew I could trust her with my bridals and wedding photos. She has so much creativity, and we had a lot of fun shooting during each event. Her husband Paul came is so helpful as well! I absolutely love how my photos came out, and I've gotten so many compliments about my beautiful pictures. I definitely will use Laura again when's I need to hire a photographer.
Just met Laura and her husband last night for our engagement session. After having to reschedule about a hundred times due to the weather, I couldn't be happier with my experience. They were super nice and we all immediately got along. The best part was she worked with my naughty dog for a few photos. That really meant a lot to me. Can't wait to see the pics! Would highly recommend her :)
Laura did our engagement photos and I am in LOVE with them. She did such an amazing job and made us feel so relaxed and comfortable. Even Rob had fun. I would highly recommend her and can not wait for our wedding. We 100% got the best there is with Chic Boutique!
Laura is truly the best of the best!! Her and her husband are a joy to be around and are the best team to work with! Thank you so much for capturing Mason and I big day! We love you guys and hope to book family shoots in the future!
Laura and her husband are amazing! From the beginning of the consultation to the end of the wedding day. They make you feel at ease and like you have known them your entire life. The photos came out amazing! It is truly like moments captured and frozen in time that I will forever be grateful for. I do not remeber seeing her during the actual ceremony and my family said the same thing. She did a fantastic job keeping herself out of the spotlight while still taking amazing pictures. I HIGHLY recommend her and will do so to anyone who asks me about a photographer!
Chic Boutique was amazing! My pictures from my wedding were beautiful. Laura even called me on her way to see if I needed anything. She came while we were getting ready and took some gorgeous photos. She captured the ceremony beautifully and the reception. I worried because I'm not photogenic, but I looked beautiful. The price was hard to beat also. Thanks Laura!!
I recently contacted Laura to inquire about availability for my wedding later this year. Unfortunately, she was not available but she was kind enough to provide me a list of other photographers in the area that were. I'm disappointed that she won't be able to photograph my wedding but I have no doubt that if you book her she will go above and beyond to make your day special.
I had my engagement pictures done and they were absolutely gorgeous!!! I wouldn't go to anyone else! You are a friend of ours and we enjoy every second during and after the shoot. The quality and the time put into these pictures are wonderful, you can tell your heart and soul are put into them. Anyone I hear that needs pictures we refer to you!
Thank you so much, I could not be more grateful to have you capture our wedding. The pictures are beautiful., I am so in love with them. Thank you so much for all of the help, even outside of photography. You really did help take a lot of the stress away. Everyone loved you!
