We had a lot of snow the day before our wedding, which caused us to lose our group photo spot. Claire did a great job pivoting and the photos turned out beautiful!! She was very helpful posing us and collected a variety of shots. Only negatives were the lack of sneak peak photos and there were a few must-have shots we didn't end up getting. Overall great experience, and would highly recommend Claire!

Both Sabrina the Photographer and Andrew the videographer were wonderful to work with and captured the day amazingly. They both were able to execute on their vision without getting in the way of the days festivites. Andrew was especially attentive and helpful in planning and made sure to reach out multiple times through the process. I would recommend both artisits highly. Bellegala the company was very attentive and helpful, my only wish was that they would have given us a sneak preview of our photos. My husband and I didnt have a single picture of the two of us for about 4 weeks after our wedding.
Any questions?

We married in September 2024 at the Denver Botanic Gardens and used Bellagala photography and videography. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose them without question. With so many options in the market, it's hard to know what you're going to get for your desired price point, and Bellagala delivered above and beyond our expectations. We worked with Sabrina Del Rosario for photography, and she worked in tandem with JR. Their chemistry working together and with our videographer, Andrew Balch, was exceptional. Sabrina captured our wedding day in a way that it will forever be as beautiful as I remembered it to be. She has an eye for capturing the most perfect candids and posed photos. This team had excellent communication on the the day of the wedding, made us comfortable in front of the cameras, and they had the perfect balance of photographing the big moments without us feeling like we were being pulled away from our guests and the celebration. I'm in love with our album, and I'm so grateful for the care Sabrina, JR, Andrew, and all the Bellagala team gave to our wedding day. Also to note, from the customer service and sales side of things, communication was on point, the manner in which you can book the photographer/videographer/style you desire is awesome, and the promotion they had available at booking was very competitive and we definitely got a huge value for the exceptional service we received.

Four our wedding, we purchased a photo and video package through Bellagala and worked with photographer Sabrina D. and videographer Zachary L. We loved working with Sabrina and Zachary on our wedding day. They allowed us to be ourselves, made us feel comfortable, and captured great footage. We enjoyed working with Bellagala due to their fair pricing, great communication, and great services. I would recommend Bellagala, Sabrina, and Zachary to anyone for their weddings!

The whole team was amazing to work with! We had photo (2 photographers) and video for 9 hours for event. Sabrina was so sweet and kind- highly recommend her to capture your special day. We did have our Videographer call out sick the day of, and Bellagala was able to replace him with no issue and things went super smoothly. Really excited to get the results back!

This photography company is 5/5 stars! They made communication a top priority. Picking my photographer was also a highlight for this company because I was able to see their portfolio and choose them based on their composition and editing style. The processing time for photos was 4 weeks which is relatively fast and they look amazing! The price is also very reasonable for the quality of service.

We worked with Claire Kurucz from Bellagala. The whole team was very helpful an reasonable the whole time. they were quick to respond to questions. Claire was so sweet to work with, she communicated with us through the whole process and made everything so simple. She made all of our requests happen. Also, the pictures are so beautiful! She captured some great and funny moments that capture who we are! If we ever need a photographer in CO again, we will certainly reach out to her again!

Claire did an amazing job as our photographer this wedding season!
Not only did she do our engagement photoshoot (with our dog! She was so accommodating), but she also shot our wedding this September.
We were very happy with her work and her encouraging nature. We aren't the kind of people who know how to arrange ourselves, but that wasn't a problem for Claire at all. We were very appreciative. She knew what to do and made an effort to make sure we got the photos we wanted.

Claire's artistic eye is what drew her to me at first but after meeting her, it was clear that her experience, personality, and knowledge of wedding photography is what got me super excited. The day of the wedding, Claire knew I didn't need a million dancing photos and I saw her several times taking decorations and incorporating them with the venue. We can't wait to see her images as I'm sure there are some unforgettable shots. The venue was so amazingly magical and I know that Claire was able to capture it along with all the requested images of our guests, wedding party, and family members. Highly recommend!

We found Claire Kurucz through Bellagala and asked her to be our photographer for our small family elopement in Colorado Springs. From when we booked her until after we received the final photographs, she was great!
We asked her to photograph before the ceremony, during the ceremony and for group shots after. She was relaxed, professional and made everyone feel at ease while ensuring she captured lot of great images.
We didn’t have to wait long for the final images and when we received them we couldn’t believe how stunning they were – from classic posed shots to more candid, fun moments when we were not looking - She captured everything we wanted and more! We’ve shown them to family and friends who all loved them.
We were so glad we found Claire, to be our photographer, she fitted in with the day perfectly and we are so thankful for the photographs she took of our day. They are lovely memories that we will always cherish and look back at.

I'll admit I was a bit nervous about hiring a videographer through a larger company rather than a single person, but we couldn't be happier with how it turned out! We definitely had sticker shock when searching for videographers but found a great deal with Bellagala around the end of the year and the quality of service and product they provided was definitely on par with more expensive videographers we looked at. The communication was great from start to finish, and the planner was easy to fill out. We were assigned our videographer far in advance of the wedding and he reached out to us promptly and scheduled a call to talk timeline and details and get the vibe of what we were looking for. This videographer unfortunately was unable to film our wedding do to emergency medical circumstances that occurred the day before, but Bellagala immediately reached out to let us know what had happened and who our new videographer would be, who already had all of the notes and timeline given to him by our original videographer. Andrew B. was super pleasant to work with, made sure to check in with us personally via text as soon as he knew he would be filming our wedding, and checked on both me and my husband as soon as he arrived at the venue, making note of any special requests we had. He even brought a drone to capture a super cute shot of us and our families after the ceremony, which we were not expecting! The final highlight film delivered to us was everything we wished and hoped for, and it was delivered well within the expected 8 week timeframe. When we had a slight edit request, they happily fixed it and got it back to us within a couple of days. We also received video of our entire ceremony, speeches/toasts, and first dances which was exactly what we were looking for. So happy that we went with Bellagala for our wedding videography!

I am over the moon with the photographer, Julie, and videographer, Sidney, and how they made our day magic. They were both so patient, kind, and executed our vision perfectly and captured the most beautiful moments in our wedding. They both listened to what we wanted and made it even better! The pictures are something to cherish and the videos were breathtaking! They felt like dear friends with how personable and comfortable they made us feel and we honestly wish we could get married again to have them capture the moment one more time!

Our wedding was 9-29 in Co Springs. We had Sabrina R as our photographer and Jeff W as our videographer.
They worked amazing as a team and really took care of us. Jeff will be your biggest hype man on your wedding day which I loved! I would recommend them both to anyone, I absolutely loved working with them.

I'll start off with the good. Our videographer, knocked it out of the park. Loved the highlight video, music, and the editing is superb! During the photo taking-portion of our event he was so particular and directing us out of the shadows, or harsh lighting. Multiple retakes in some instances, which was reassuring.
The photos are unfortunately very underwhelming. There are a handful of good ones, but our photographer while polite, and personable, did not understand lighting, flattering poses or attention to details. Very disappointed.

Sabrina Del Rosario in Denver was amazing. Words cannot express the amount of preparation and details she had throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail for our muslim ceremony was unmatched. We were weary about having the perfect photographer for our cultural ceremony, she executed each detail perfectly and ensured she didn't miss any of our customary traditions and components. I would recommend working with Sabrina over and over again. Aside from her professionalism, she was a genuine support system throughout and made sure we were taken care of the whole night. She was on top of each and every detail and a true rockstar.

Brittany K in Denver, CO was amazing! She did such a great job with coordinating in advance, figuring out what we liked / didn't like in photos, and making us feel comfortable. My husband and I are super awkward and she perfectly captured that in the most beautiful ways.
The pictures took about 5 weeks to get edited / returned to us (just color correction) from Bellagala and look really great. The website itself where the pictures are stored is not super ideal (long load times, slow response to clicks), but I would say that's a minor inconvenience since you can just download them all in one click!
My feelings on the Bellagala experience alone are pretty good. I was nervous using a service like this vs just booking with a photographer directly... but the booking experience felt safer / easier this way. Brittany K absolute surpassed any expectations I had for what I was signing up for here, and I'm really pleased we went this route!

We didn't want to put TOO much into our wedding video, but we got so much more than we expected! Jeff was delightful to work with. His shots were creative, well coordinated, and it was easy to follow his direction. He was able to incorporate a variety of footage from our day, including drone shots and beautiful views of our venue. We can't wait to see the finished product!

We hired Bellagala for the videography for our wedding last weekend. We had a wonderful experience with our videographer, we worked with Jeff Warnock and he was amazing! He was so much fun, personable and made sure to get all of the important parts of our special day captured. It was a really affordable price and we are extremely happy we chose Bellagala for this job! We can’t wait to see our video and all the amazing moments that Jeff was able to capture! Highly recommend Jeff and Bellagala to anyone and everyone!

They both were on time, very professional, and made us feel very comfortable. We got multiple comments about how the photographer and videographer were never in the way and guests forgot they were even there, but we got amazing footage. Thank you Bellagala!

BOTH Evan Browning (photographer) and Jeff Warnock (videographer) were OUTSTANDING! We worked with Evan to get our engagement photos and fell in love with his easy going personality and he always made us laugh and feel comfortable. We got to talk with Jeff before we officially met him on our wedding night but he also had a great personality. They both made the wedding an even more fun event than it would have been without them. If you are in the Colorado region I would highly recommended asking for these two!

I was skeptical going through a business vs an individual photographer like I have multiple times before, but after mine broke contract I found Bellagala and I couldn't have been happier I did! Communication exceptional with every point of contact through the whole process. Hillary (photo) and Jeff (video) were such a delight and fit so perfectly in our group. They were on time and pinged ideas off one another all evening; that gave us so much more than what we were expecting. I can't wait see how our photos turned out! If you are on the fence with a photo/video ‐look no further!

Carmen was great! She was so friendly and concerned that we had what we wanted. The editors at Bellagala gave us a lot of duplicate photos which reduced the amount of photos we got back (since they limit it to 700) but other than that it was a good experience

(Written by mother of the bride, which is not an option below): Not sure who dropped the ball (but it wasn't our wedding planner who sent out, a few days before The Big Day, detailed instructions to all vendors on when to arrive and where to set up), our Bellagala photographer, Emerald, did not show at 8 AM as agreed upon to capture the bride and groom getting ready for their 10 AM Saturday ceremony. Our wedding planner took charge and called her at 8:20, rousing her from sleep, and confirming that she had the time wrong for our wedding (so the detailed email was ignored...). OH NO! With over an hour's drive to arrive at our venue, there was no way Emerald could arrive in time for the ceremony. Thankfully, our wedding planner is a miracle worker; she secured a very excellent local photographer who arrived in a half hour and took amazing photos, saving the day.

I would not recommend Bellagala Denver. We had an issue with our second photographer not showing up on the day of our wedding. Instead, our lead photographer brought along her fiancé (not affiliated with Bellagala) and convinced us he could take photos instead. I reached out to customer support and they refunded us only the cost of the additional second photographer. Unfortunately, that impacted our photos from the entire day.
Another issue came up when my dad ordered prints from the site after we received our photos. He never got the photos. After a couple of weeks went by, he reached out to the customer support team (they never contacted him). It took another two phone calls from me, another one from him, and finally they sent him the digital download link to the files. They still never actually mailed the prints he initially ordered.

Our wedding was this past weekend and although we haven't seen photos yet, I couldn't wait to give our photographer Sarah Harms the ovation she deserves. She understood our vision and worked with our cultural traditions by being respectful and flexible. Our personalities clicked right away and she quickly became my 6th bridesmaid on my wedding day as she was attentive to detail. She was kind, thoughtful, and most of all funny. She made a stressful day enjoyable. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was patient with our family photos. I would highly recommend Bellgala and Sarah as they truly made my wedding memorable. I am looking forward to seeing what memories she captured of our special day.

I’m so beyond bummed that this is not a good review. Our photographer, Rachel S completely ignored many of our photo requests. She was off doing her own thing/wandering the grounds/smoking instead of getting the requested candids. The photos she chose for our set were lazy and blurry. Now, 9 weeks after my wedding, I’m waiting to hear from someone about my photos. The initial set I was given had about 300 photos, with the remaining 400 that we paid for being repeats. Photos of my bridesmaids in the middle of eating while getting ready or blinking. Tons of photos of the food and my mother zipping up my dress, and only 5 of my guests dancing/candids. When confronting the business about this I’ve only received rude remarks such as, “you never specified you wanted photos of your guests”... what?!? Absolutely ridiculous, would not suggest, completely disappointed in the photos when I should be elated with wonderful memories.

Kirsten Solberg was our photographer for our wedding day and she was amazing! We hired her as a photographer and she went above and beyond even helping us schedule and plan the rest of the details for our wedding. She had also worked with our wedding day coordinator many times so the day of the wedding went extremely smooth. We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing pictures she captured throughout the day. She took us hiking around the venue property (outdoor barn wedding) and found some beautiful locations and took a lot of extremely creative pictures. We plan on using Kirsten for any future event photographer needs that we have and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Meg G. was the photographer for our Indianapolis wedding. She did a wonderful job! We talked in detail over the timeline of the wedding day, locations for photos, and groupings for photos. She worked well with my day of coordinator to ensure that picture were done in an efficient manner and in accordance with our timeline. We ended with plenty of time to spare before the ceremony started. Meg is very sweet and has a laid back personality, which made it easy to relax during photos and enjoy my wedding day. I was surprised by the number of candid shots she was able to grab that day, which made looking through all of the pictures really fun! I would definitely recommend her for iPod wedding day.

Overall, we were content with our wedding photos and we got our pictures approx 2-3 weeks after our wedding which is so quick but I definitely think our photographer could have been more thorough. I would also suggest to spend the money to get a second photographer because I feel like we missed out on pictures we wanted because our photographer was overwhelmed. He stated the company did not pay for face to face meetings so we had to discuss my vision via phone/text and I don't think that sufficient . We got the essentials but some pics were ruined due to his inattentiveness. For example, we attempted to take a picture of the bride and flower girls' manicures and when I got the finished pic the flower girl's hand are cut off. Also there are no pics of groomsmen without these big cardboard boxes behind them, a true professional would pay attention to everything including the background.

Debra Lawrence was the photographer I chose. She did take a lot of photos, but she did not follow the shot list she asked me to fill out for her. (I only had about five family members I really wanted photos of, and she did not get one of them). There was not one photo of my cousin, and she never asked me who it was. I was so busy and distracted, I didn't think to point her out.
Debra insisted that we hire a second photographer to get more photos, but they never left each other's side.
We only had the reception- not the wedding, and when guests were arriving, I had to get the photographers to come out to the main area to take pictures, because I felt like that was a great opportunity to take them. They were “looking at the schedule”. There was no schedule- it was entirely the reception- and this is something they should have had memorized beforehand.
At times during the evening I noticed them looking back through photos- that was not the time to have been doing that. They had plenty of time to do that after the event.
I like a lot of the photos, but I wish I could go back and choose someone else to capture that night. I’m sad that there were none of my cousin because we are very close, and that’s why I listed her on the short list of people I wanted in a photo. I feel like a lot of good photo opportunities were missed, and it caused unnecessary stress that evening.

We used Photography, Video and DJ services from Bellagala. Our original photographer choice would no longer be available for our wedding date. Bellagala called us to notify us and we had to choose another photographer. Though panicked and worried it was actually a blessing. We got Andrew P. who was just amazing to work with on our wedding day. Our pictures were delivered in the indicated time frame and there so many precious moments caught that we can't decide what to print. It was nice to have Photo & Video from Bellagala b/c our video guy Travis worked well with Andrew to coordinate we had all moments covered. Our DJ was assigned the week before the wedding date. We got to work with Theo who did a great job following our music choices and making it great party.

They were extremely friendly and easy to work with, and our photographer (Meg) was a dream! It was really nice to know that we could choose the photographer that worked for us without having to change the price/package. We appreciated that they emailed us reminders as important dates and deadlines came to keep things moving, and the website was really helpful when it came to the important details. Overall a really great experience!

Writing this review based on the photography of Kirsten S. at our wedding a few weeks ago. She was utterly amazing and blew us away. Not only was she the most professional photographer we have ever worked with, but I genuinely felt that she was a great person and very easy to work with. She did an impeccable job coordinating everything and everyone as well as sticking to the day of timeline. It was such a relief to have her organizing and executing per our agreed upon details so I didn't have to be. Her work in being concise, timely, and working with my husband's impatient personality (He absolutely hates taking photos) surpassed my expectations. You are making a mistake choosing anyone else.

We met with our photographer, Jess, before our engagement shoot, and again before our wedding day. She was genuinely interested in what we wanted and needed, and spent time with us talking and planning. She was easy to communicate with, share our thoughts with, and she gave us ideas and advice when we asked for it. Her photography was beautiful, and met and exceeded all our expectations!

Writing this review solely based on the photography of Kirsten S at our wedding a few weeks ago. I am not one to ever write a review about anything but she blew me away. Not only was she the most professional photographer I have ever worked with, but I genuinely felt that she was a great person and very easy to work with on top of that. Her work in being concise, timely, and working with my impatient personality (I HATE TAKING PHOTOS) surpassed my expectations. She was organized and wonderful at coordinating everyone and everything!

Maribeth was very easy to work with and was not hard to find based on the reviews on Bellagala's website. Although we were not able to set up many meetings before the wedding she made sure to meet me at the venue during the wedding week and was able to show up early and set up on our wedding day. She and her assistant were able to get plenty of good shots throughout the day during the ceremony and reception. Thanks to them we have many photos to help us remember that wonderful day. Would recommend to Bellagala to our friends and family.

Reviewing our photos and I'm (we) are in awe!! I can't believe the details and simply everything both, Sarah and Jessica, captured on our wedding day. They truly know how to work a wedding, from finding the perfect picture, capturing our entire family, to not even realizing they were there (which is a great thing)! They were both amazing to work with, so professional, polite, and ready for anything. I'd highly recommend using these two for your wedding day!!

If I were rating the photographer alone, she absolutely would have gotten 5+ stars. Elaine was amazing, especially considering the fact that my husband and I are entirely inept when it comes to getting our pictures taken. She gave great direction and I have no doubt the pictures will be lovely. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because a lot of the transactions take place via the website, and I kept having technical issues. I was told several times that whatever I did on the website "probably" worked, which made me nervous. But other than that, things went smoothly and I'd recommend them.

Do Not Use!!!! It is now a year and a day since my wedding and I still do not have any photos! NO WEDDING PICTURES!!!! MOST OF The photos that were taken we're horrible, at a severe angle, out if focus and the ones that weren't the colors were wrong. When I contacted them to fix it they oversaturated and made a mess. When I contacted again they said they would send me the raw photo so I could have someone else do the work correctly and I never got them. So one year later I have no wedding photos no memory of my special day and I am so sorry that I ever picked this company they are awful!

We booked bellagala photo for our wedding photographers. We enjoyed working with Jim Bob, and his assistant that day. We felt they did a good job and Jim helped us out by staying a little longer free of charge. However when it came to the editing of our photos it was pretty terrible. At bellagala the photographers are the ones who edit their own photos. They have a whole post production team who does this for the photographer. So this team is in no way attached to your photos because they didn’t take them. When I say editing I don’t mean making our faces look better or thinning us out or whatever in that composite. I mean cropping random signs out of the photos or adjusting the shadowed lighting on faces. We tried to work with the post productions team. We emailed back and forth any times asking for adjustments but they stopped communicating with us. So we cropped the photos that needed it and we learned how to edit lighting ourselves so some of the photos we liked would look better. Kind of sad that they have good photographers and not a great team behind them.

My husband, Nick, and I worked with Meagan W. as our wedding day photographer. She did an incredible job on the photos! We love how they turned out. Meagan was very flexible and willing to work around our photo preferences. She was easy to get along with and was very good at organizing my family, as well as Nick’s family, for extended family photos- which was not an easy task! We definitely recommend her photography services!!

I had worked with Bellagala for my photographer and had everything thing signed up and ready to go over a year in advance, but less then two months before my wedding my photographer cancelled. I understand things happen and Bellagala was willing to set me up with a new photographer, but this added more stress to wedding plans and the other options provided were not up to the same standard as the original photographer I had wanted. I ended up going with a completely different agency.

We used Anthony Gilbert as our photographer and absolutely loved him! He was awesome to work with and made the day so much fun. He made sure to take every photo that we wanted, even photos that we added on the day of. He was excellent and I would highly recommend him as well as Bellagala!

John did a spectacular job at capturing our Big Day! He is so talented and was super easy to work with. He was able to get all those little moments and gave great direction to get us the couple portraits we were dreaming of! He was able to really use the space to get great organized shots and was flexible enough that when a double rainbow showed up got us just right to capture the magic. Bellagala was great to work with, they answered all my questions and made me feel great about my choice. Thank you John for giving us pictures to last a lifetime!

We had Anita T as our photographer and she was so incredible to work with. Her attention to detail is impeccable and she is so personable.
She shot our engagement photos and our entire wedding (10 hours!) and had a smile on her face the whole time.
She got so many amazing photos that helped me capture the perfect day so I can remember it forever.
She made everyone feel so comfortable and relaxed, and had amazing ideas of where to go for different shots!
I highly recommend Anita and will definitely be using her again in the future for all my photo needs! She is the best!
