Josh G./Bellagala Review
From the moment he showed up, Josh was professional and on his game. I, the bride, was running WAY behind while getting ready so he partnered up with a bridesmaid of mine to grab things for detail photos (my rings, bouquets, dress, etc.) to make sure he didn’t waste a second of shooting time once I was ready to be photographed.
I and my husband are both very awkward in front of cameras. We are self conscious and uncomfortable. Josh coached us through each pose for each photo, using very clever suggestions to help visualize what he wanted from us. “Look to the left, but act like someone is tugging your hair just a bit this way,” for example. He was also great with letting us know when we were hitting the mark. Everyone in attendance appreciated the help with posing, I’ve had multiple guests tell me how great that was.
I never felt like he was in the way, we got to experience every moment as it happened. It felt like he was there to celebrate us just as much as he was to shoot photos—I’m not sure anyone has told us how awesome we are that many times in our lives lol. His energy was impeccable, always either smiling or concentrating on his work. He was kind and gentle, but was not afraid to be a bit more firm when it came to making sure he got the perfect shot.
His attention to detail is one of the biggest things I loved. Each time he would finish with a set of photos, he would scroll back through to make sure everyone’s eyes were open, everyone was looking at the camera, and nobody was making an awkward face. I’m very bad about flinching and blinking when the shutter snaps, so that was very comforting. I can rest assured knowing I won’t get my wedding photos back and see myself blinking in half of the photos.
I do not have any of my photos back yet, but once I have access to my album I will be updating the review to add photos and talk about how I feel about the way they came out.

From start to finish-very unprofessional. I was given a list of photographers available to choose from, and when i did NOT only once but TWICE, i was told several days or even week...
s later that the photographer i chose was not available. Im confused as to if they weren't available- why were they sent to me along with their portfolios. It is not fair that my husband and i fall in love with someone's work only to be told "they were sent to you by mistake". The cherry on top was the night before my wedding-LESS THAN 24 HOURS, i get a text from the coordinator to me once more that my photographer is NOT available. they found someone to step in last minute however that is not acceptable from what is supposed to be a PROFESSIONAL photography company. the coordinator reached out and offered a curated collection however i have been out on my honeymoon. it has now been 2 weeks and me or my wedding coordinator have heard NOTHING from the company or the coordinator. at this point i am praying we even get our pictures.

We had the pleasure of working with Jennifer, through Bellagala, for our July wedding. She planned a couple of video chats, prior to our wedding, to discuss what we envisioned for ...
our wedding photography and to finalize the details shortly before. She sent us a detailed questionnaire, as well, to firm up those details. From our very first meeting, Jennifer was warm and engaging. She made the process so fun and really tried to get a good sense of who my fiancé and I were. On the day of our wedding, she traveled to our destination in the mountains. She captured our wedding party prepping for the day, our first look and she took pictures of all our clothing and invites. She met us up at the ceremony sight and captured family and friends, the ceremony itself and got our formal wedding pictures done. Even with the hot July temperatures, Jennifer was a professional throughout. We hardly noticed, as she angled around to get photos of us, but she captured the most beautiful, intimate pictures of our big day. The photos were absolutely gorgeous and brimming with emotion. We loved working with Jennifer and are so grateful to have her beautiful photos to treasure in our home.

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.

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.

n 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 memb...
ers 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.

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.

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.

Matt G was a great photographer. Very chill. Responsive. Allowed us to get what we wanted but also was confident doing his own thing. He was flexible in our schedule. The pictures ...
turned out magnificent. Great lighting. Great story he captured with each shot - brought instant memories of what we were doing or what our guests were thinking.

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 photographe...
r 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.

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!

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!

Our son and daughter-in-law were married a month ago. We were thrilled to have Anita T. photograph their wedding! She was the most creative at capturing all the stories that happ...
en behind the ceremony itself - all of the side ones. like when we surprised the bride by designing her bouquet for her as an previously unseen part of the day, or the moment the groom wiped away a tear during the ceremony, or when the most shy member of the bridal party cut a spontaneous dance move as he was introduced at the reception! These are the "non-traditional" moments one wants captured at the most important of days and we are so glad the bride and groom chose Bellagala. They are the absolute best at what they do. There are several levels of pricing to fit different budgets. We did have a wonderful 2nd photographer and purchased an extra hour of time, so as not to worry about being "rushed", and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this magical day!

We used John Kiene and we are so happy we did! Before the wedding, he was easy to contact and we went over what I was looking for. On the big day, he gave us very clear direction ...
when taking the photos and you can tell he is passionate about what he does. He made me and my husband feel very special and his enthusiasm throughout our wedding day made the night a lot of fun. The photos are amazing and I could not have asked for a better photograher to capture one of the most important days of my life.

rived on time and ready to go. They were more like a member of the family than a vendor! The groom doesn't do well with long drawn out staged shots. They took that to heart and captured beautiful, candid photos of us and him individually. The best part for me was I barely remembered them being there once the wedding started throughout the reception yet they got some of the most stunning shots I couldn't have imaged!! That to me speaks to their professionalism and to being focused solely on the bride and groom.
