Bellagala Photo + Video

My husband and I just had our wedding at The Gathering Place at Darlington Lake and we chose Ty Vinson from Bellagala, and we couldn't be more grateful that we did!! Ty has such a calm and reassuring manner to him which was SO helpful on such a stressful day! He kept things flowing PERFECTLY and on time whilst also picking all the best spots in the venue to photograph our day. We really appreciated his professionalism while also feeling like a friend to us, too. He sent us a few breathtaking sneak peaks and we can't wait to see the rest of the photos soon!! We chose the 2 photographer option so we were able to get even more angles and perspectives of the day, and they worked together so seamlessly😇. We recommend Ty to anyone! -Maddie & Brian 2024.

Ty Vinson was absolutely amazing and made our day so special! He listened to what our vision was and executed it. We truly appreciated his professional opinion on timing and photo locations. With two photographers we were able to capture the day so perfectly. We would recommend Bellagala and Ty to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. He also did our engagement photo shoot and we had so much fun and the photos turned out amazing! - Hannah and Adam

Ty was an absolute amazing photographer from start to finish - he was so easy to work with, helped in so many ways, and his photos are BEAUTIFUL! I couldn’t imagine having anyone else be our photographer for our wedding day. 10/10 recommend!

We worked with Tori for our wedding this past weekend, and not only were WE absolutely blown away by her commitment to us and her profession, but our guests were too! She is sweet, helpful, and of course, an amazing photographer, making sure our day was captured perfectly. We will be keeping her in mind for future photography needs.

We used this service for our wedding day, we went with Laura and let me just tell you, BOOK HER! She is your official hype woman of the night, makes you feel confident, comfortable and will be there every step on your wedding day. By the end of our time with her she was no longer just a vendor, she was a friend. I can not wait to see all the finished pictures. She worked so very hard to make sure every picture we wanted was executed and I’m so thankful she was a part of our special day. ❤️

Sarah C was our photographer and she did an amazing job making sure we got all of the photos we wanted. We couldn't be happier with the service we got. Bellagala made the booking process easy and simple to plan. Do yourself a favor and book Sarah

I'm struggling to find words that can truly capture how incredible our wedding photographer was. From the moment she arrived, Caitlyn B. brought a warmth and energy that instantly put us at ease on what could have been a stressful day. Her attention to detail was impeccable, catching all those little moments we might have missed in the whirlwind of the day. She worked tirelessly, yet somehow remained invisible, never intruding on intimate moments but always there to capture them. What truly sets Caitlyn apart, though, is her knowledge about weddings! She didn't just photograph our big day; she literally helped facilitate some parts because we were total newbies. She went above and beyond. She didn't just meet our expectations; she exceeded them so much that we couldn't imagine another photographer shooting our big day. We couldn't have asked for a more talented, compassionate, and dedicated individual to spend the day with us. Hire her, hire her, hire her. You won't regret it. -- Julian and Rebekah Routh

My husband and I are so glad that Ty was able to do the photography for our engagement and wedding! Our engagement photos were lovely and the sneak peak photos from our wedding blew my expectations out of the water. Ty was knowledgeable, easy to work with, and made us feel really comfortable throughout the entire process!

We loved our photographer and videographer! Ty and Andrew did a great job and we are so excited to see our photos and video! From how the engagement pictures turned out I know they will be perfect!

Great and organized vendor to work with. Our videographer, Prince did a spectacular job and so nice!

We had THE BEST experience with our photographer Cait! She was friendly, down to earth and fun! We had a lot of kids in our party and she was phenomenal at handling them all. Everyone in our party and wedding guests had nothing but great things to say about her. My husband and I felt super comfortable and had a great time while getting our pictures taken. I asked Cait if she could recreate a photo of my mom at her wedding, I got a sneak peek and I almost cried when I saw it because she nailed it! We are super excited to see the final pictures! We will recommend her and Bellagala to anyone we can!

We enjoyed having Ty as our photographer, and the photos came out beautiful!

I got the best deal with photography and videography from Bellagala. At an affordable rate, I was able to hire 2 photographers and 2 videographers to capture our big day, and we are so happy with what they were able to do. With 2 of each, one photographer and videographer was able to be with me and the other photographer and videographer was with my husband while we both got ready. That way nothing was missed. They all did a great job capturing the important parts of our day. I highly recommend going with Bellagala for your wedding day.

Bellagala was wonderful to work with (and affordable!). The entire process was so easy, and anytime we had a question someone was always there to help. Laura and Joe Barovich were our photographers, and they were FANTASTIC! My husband and I couldn't be happier with how our engagement and wedding photos turned out. Not only did they take gorgeous photos, but they were so sweet and truly cared about getting the shots we wanted. Laura is incredibly talented, and we would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone super attentive, timely, focused, kind, and of course, takes beautiful photographs. <3

Bellagala set us up with a great photographer who took amazing photos at our wedding. We also felt at ease since they promised to provide a backup photographer if anything happened with the one we set us up with (which we didn't need, but it was nice to know about!) Easy to use and quick to respond to any questions.

We worked with Ty V and he was amazing! He was so kind and go with the flow. He helped to make our day amazing and we appreciated his professionalism and assistance when posing and just throughout the day. Plus, he can adjust a dress like no other!! We are so grateful for Ty!

We hired Laura as our photographer through this company and we were so disappointed. She left early and didn’t even take the amount of pictures promised. It was hard to get a hold of her before the wedding multiple times. I looked at her gallery before I booked her and I was very impressed. She didn’t even come close to providing us with the same quality. After we received our gallery I reached out to the company because our pictures were awful and nothing was done. We were told that it wasn’t her fault because there was “family tension”. None of the was brought to our attention. In multiple family photos peoples faces were blocked and multiple pictures given to us where eyes were closed. Stay away from this company.

We worked with Laura and Joe Barovich from Bellagala. Laura and Joe were efficient and easy to work with. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and worked well with our videographer. They were able to capture all of the photos we wanted, including some incredible night shots at our venue. We can't wait to see the final photos! We also worked with videographer Prince Brooks. Prince was friendly, organized, easy to communicate with, and he worked well with our photographers. We can't wait to see the final videos!

We loved working with Ty at Bellagala for our wedding photography! He was very friendly and easy to work with. We appreciated his suggestions for different poses and backgrounds, as this is something we admittedly did not know much about. Our photos turned out beautiful. Thank you!!

Ty did an amazing job for our wedding! He captured our story in our photos. I will forever treasure them along with our families. So many compliments from our friends and family. Extremely professional and responds quickly. Thank you for capturing our beautiful day!

Bellagala was amazing to have for our wedding photographs. We were able to choose a photographer from their list! Our photographer ended up being injured prior to our wedding and Bellagala found us an alternative photographer who was comparable in ability and was very kind to work with! They worked with us and made changes based on the circumstances and we were greatly appreciative!

Absolutely loved Bellagala for our photography and videography needs! Chelsea Marrin was our photographer and Andrew D'Amico was our videographer. We had such a great time with both and really enjoyed the wedding day because of Chelsea and Andrew's personalities were so easygoing and fun. Highly recommend Bellagala for their thorough system and frequent reminders about payments, etc. They were just perfection!

Bellagala was such an easy company to work with, they have a nicely laid out website and you can easily see the work of all of the photographers they work with. You can pick and choose your tier of photographer (from apprentice to master levels) and have a multitude of photographers to choose from. Our photographer, Laura B. was AMAZING, she was so easygoing, and professional, and a treat to work with. I've only seen a few sneak peaks of what she took at my wedding and I LOVED them, I can't wait to see all of the photos she took!

Bellagala was great and I would book them again! Our first photographer was unable to shoot our wedding - Bellagala made this news the least stressful as possible! They immediately contacted me and informed us that they had another photographer, Ty Vinson, who had been informed of our needs and would cover our ceremony! Ty was amazing - he took all the pictures that wanted and got tons of great shots of me, my husband, and our wedding party! We are couldn't be happier with his work and Bellagala!

We had Ty as our photographer & he was wonderful!! super easy to work with & very easy going all night! his pictures are amazing! i would definitely use him again as our photographer.

Really appreciated Ty's flexibility and sense of humor during our somewhat rainy COVID wedding day. Very happy with the photos. Thanks, Ty!

Me and my husband hired Ty Vinson via Bellagala as our wedding photographer! We could not have asked for a better photographer or better pictures from the best day of our life. He arrived early to take pictures of us getting ready. He came with several more ideas in addition to what we previously discussed, and it was a super relaxed setting. He took pictures in the moment and they turned out beautifully. He was super thorough and easy to work with. We loved that he made sure we didn't forget any specific pictures we wanted since we had so much on our minds. We would highly recommend Ty Vinson through Bellagala for anyone still looking for a wedding photographer in the Pittsburgh area!

Ty Vinson was such an excellent photographer! My husband and I hate getting our picture taken, and he was super helpful with suggestions and made us feel comfortable. Everyone comments on how beautiful my wedding photos are! He did a fantastic job in capturing nature elements at the venue (something we specifically requested). I would highly recommend him!

We picked Bellagala originally because the prices were a little more reasonable than some other photographers in the area. Being a Covid-19 bride we were in for quite the journey, but everything worked out wonderfully. Unfortunately our original photographer decided against photographing our wedding with the pandemic, but immediately Bellagala consultants were on our case trying to find us a new photographer. That’s when we met Emily B! Last minute she jumped on photographing our wedding and wow! we were grateful! She did a great!! job for our May 23 wedding. She photographed the whole day, was super professional, made the day flow easily (never felt rushed or running behind), was creative on the spot, easy to work with, and had a joyful personality. We just got the link with our pictures, 3 weeks later (timeframe is normally 4-6weeks) and we were so happy to see all the images. She did great getting so many different shots and angles for being the only photographer shooting. We are so please. Would you pick Bellagala again: Yes Price: $1,200 for 7hrs

My wedding was a year ago and I’ve been debating whether I should write an honest review. Unfortunately my wedding photos and photographer were absolutely terrible. None of my pictures were in focus and my photographer ignored my requests. It was also raining the entire day and she refused to stand outside to get a nice picture. I stood outside getting my dress and veil soaked as she stood underneath the pavilion. Absolutely so unprofessional. Stay away from Bellagala. I have no decent pictures to reflect on of my wedding day. I feel robbed.

Could not have been happier with Tyler’s work. He was professional, he was knowledgeable and he was really fun to spend the day with! Some folks recommended we stay away from big companies but Bellagala makes the process very easy and you have everything right at your fingertips. I was happy from the day we picked them and I love the images from our wedding.

I just got married almost 3 weeks ago! I chose to work with Ty via Bellagala Photography, and I am so glad that I did! Ty was a lot of fun to work with! He also arrived early, was very patient, had great ideas for photos, and best of all he did not require really any direction. The day of goes by SO quickly and it is very important that you have self-directed vendors otherwise you will definitely become overwhelmed. Our pictures were transmitted to us with great timing and are simply incredible. I am so thrilled to be able to relive all of the moments with these stunning pictures. I chose Ty because I was thoroughly impressed with his portfolio... I wanted pictures that were timeless, yet unique, and not overly posed or cliche. This is 100% what I got!

I am so happy with our wedding photos! They came back 2 weeks after the wedding. Customer service is great! Great value! Highly recommend!!

It seems like they go through photographers quite a bit-- the first photographer I chose left the company and I got reassigned, and then the photographer I ended up getting said I was his last wedding. They do a good job, but if you get really attached to a specific photographer or style, keep in mind it may change. Fast and efficient in getting our pictures back to us!

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.

We chose Sarah F for our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding photos. She was so full of energy and very patient with family opinions. She made us feel super comfortable which made it easier to be natural for the camera. We highly recommend her for any photographer needs you are looking for.

10% of the pictures were out of focus. The majority of actual wedding shots were taken from an awful angle (photographer was kneeling and angle up). The "second" (backup) photographer pictures were much better. Very expensive for not unprofessional photos.

Jess Ramacker was our photographer for our wedding and she did a wonderful job! She was so easy to work with and made sure to get all the shots we wanted. She made the photo taking quick and painless even in the cold weather! The rest of the day we barely even noticed anyone was taking photos of us. We’d definitely recommend her!

We LOVED our wedding photographer Meagan W. She was amazing! From helping with the details for the day of to the incredible images she captured on our wedding day. Choosing Meagan was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Her photography is timeless and real. We have recieved numerous compliments from family and friends about our wedding pictures.! Highly recommend!

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.

Tim Faust was our photographer and he was great- so kind and detialed. We love our photos!! (hoped for a few more of the bride alone and the groom alone) but other than that was amazing! He really captured the wedding for its true personality, and ours! We loved it!!!

Lina H. was our wedding photographer, and she was absolutely fantastic. We had a tight timeline, and Lina made sure to get all the specific shots that I wanted. She worked hard all day and made sure to keep everyone on task with our short time limit. She was fun to talk to, gave excellent advice, and I can't say how much I appreciate her!

Our photographer James W was a no call no show literally right before our ceremony. His backup was also not available. Such a horrible experience as we did not have any professional photos of our wonderful nuptials. They did reimburse us and my friends who had to sacrifice their experience to step up to take snapshots. 2 other photographers showed up but nothing will ever replace our missing memories.

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!

We had the pleasure to work with Sarah Filipi! She was so fun and easy going.the weather was 90 degree and Sarah went above and beyond getting us water turning on her AC so we could go cool off and ever had protein bars!! We also got our pictures back in three weeks and we LOVE them💕💕

We had Sarah F for our special day. She helped things move along smoothly and made sure we got all of our most wanted shots. She was super fun and easy going. Kept us laughing even when things got stressful for a few moments. She was very kind and I am so excited to see the photos!! I would recommend her to anyone! Thanks Sarah!!!
