tiful pictures that it’s been hard to choose just a few to display in our home!
Our favorite part of working with Bellagala was our photographer, Hilary. Her process was seamless, and she made us feel so comfortable and confident on our wedding day. Before the wedding, she met with us online several times to understand our vision, build a timeline, create a shot list, and simply get to know us better.
On the wedding day, everything went smoothly, and Hilary was such a pleasure to have around. She did an incredible job organizing our bridal party and families and made sure we got every photo we wanted. Even though the day was sunny, she knew exactly where to position us and had great creative ideas for different shots.
Additionally, she got us our sneak peek within two days and included several she knew we were especially excited to see. My brother also had Hilary photograph his wedding, so I already knew she did great work — but she still exceeded our expectations!
While our family may not have any more weddings, we look forward to working with Hilary again for other life milestones. She allowed us to fully enjoy our day, and now we have beautiful memories we’ll be able to relive forever.

The photographer and their team were truly wonderful—such a talented group, and I can’t say enough about how great they were to work with. That said, I do have a few notes about th...
e overall process. In the beginning, communication is very quick and responsive, but over time it can feel like the level of attention drops off significantly. I would recommend carefully reviewing the packages, as many small additions can end up costing extra, which is fairly typical but still worth noting. It’s also important to set expectations appropriately, as you may receive fewer photos than anticipated. Additionally, engagement photos can take quite a while to be delivered. Despite these points, the photography team themselves are fantastic and do beautiful work.

we did, because the exact situation occurred! As soon as our photographer learned they had an emergency and wouldn't be available, Bellagala reached out with alternative photographers and the whole situation was resolved in a matter of hours.

honestly I'm so unhappy I booked with them. they have been pretty terrible the whole way so far.
1st our photographer was just mia. wasn't answering calls or emails. it took week...
s of me emailing and calling bellagala to get in contact with them. they didn't even help. the photographer eventually answered my call.
now it's time for the second part of my payment, there's no where to make that payment. I've been calling and emailing for days with one short response back, and no answer on how to make the payment.
no one can call me back. only short email responses when they do respond. just book somewhere else if you want any communication and you don't want to just send emails to what feels like no one and leave voicemails that no one answers. I'm beyond frustrated but I guess we can only hope the pictures turn out good.

Jessica walked through the whole day to plan all the photos that we wanted and made sure to capture the big moments throughout. She was such a joy to work with. Jessica has an upbeat attitude, makes sure to get all the shots and knows how to work the camera. I cannot recommend her enough for your next event or wedding.

pture our vision for timeless nighttime city scape photo shoot with a little twist of our own personality. She nailed it! We were so in love with our engagement photos that we knew we would love our wedding photos. Her talent, attention to detail, and fabulous eye helped to capture the ascetic we were going for and letting us be our selves and letting our own personalities show too. Our wedding day was perfect. We are so excited to see our photos, we are also so glad we chose a second shooter. Barclay also killed it, brining another beautiful fun eye that matched our exact wants without us knowing it. You can feel the passion Barclay brings to each shot. Thank you both so much for helping capture the best day of our life!! You were so fun to work with and made us feel like the hottest versions of ourselves ever!

Our photographer, Jessica R, was absolutely phenomenal! As a couple who felt shy and awkward in front of the camera, she made the photography experience really fun and not awkward ...
at all! She was professional, so kind and was amazingly fun to work with! In the planning process, she eased our nerves by letting us know what to expect and worked with us to ensure we captured the most important pictures to us. On the day of the wedding, she was calm, confident presence who made our wedding day that much more special. She accommodated any request we had during the day and our family raved on how kind, professional and helpful she was throughout the whole day. I am so thankful that Jessica was a part of our day and would book her again, without a doubt! I could seriously go on forever about how much we love Jessica!!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Jess and Brady as our wedding photographers. From the moment they arrived, they brought such a warm, calming, and confident energy to our ...
day. Jess has a true gift for posing people in a way that feels natural and comfortable while also getting the best shots possible. Was like no other wedding photography I had ever been apart of.
But what truly set them apart was how far above and beyond they went. Jess was basically a superhero all day from helping bustle my dress, to guiding us through signing the marriage license, and stepping in like an honorary bridesmaid whenever we needed her. Brady was equally incredible, capturing every moment with an eye for detail and keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. My husband hasn't stopped talking about how perfect the shots he was getting were.
And the sneak-peek photos… absolutely stunning. If those were just the previews, we can’t imagine how beautiful the full gallery will be.
If you’re on the fence about choosing photographers, stop and go with Jess and Brady. They are talented, thoughtful, organized, and genuinely invested in making your day unforgettable. We are so grateful we chose them!

as our second shooter at the wedding, and he was fantastic as well.
Our wedding day was cold, and even though they never rushed us, they were thoughtful about keeping things moving so we didn’t stay out longer than needed. I was freezing in my strapless dress and Brady even lent me his jacket between photos, which was so kind.
They were with us for 10 hours and showed up early and prepared. Throughout the entire day they remained professional, kind, and creative. We had lots of kids in our wedding party, and Jessica and Brady were incredibly patient with them, somehow getting them all to sit still and smile. I had made a Pinterest board for inspiration and Jessica was referencing it as the day went on to make sure I got all the pictures I wanted!
We haven’t received our final gallery yet, but the sneak peeks Jessica showed us throughout the day were stunning, even before edits. If you’re looking for a photographer who truly goes above and beyond, Jessica is the one. We can’t recommend her enough!

On the day of the wedding, she absolutely blew us away.

She knew exactly when to step in and take control, keeping everything running smoothly without ever feeling rushed or pressured.
She genuinely went above and beyond our expectations and truly made our day even more special. I couldn't recommend her more. She was a pleasure to work with, both as a photographer and as a human being. We already got our samples and are blown away! We cant wait to receive the rest soon!

As someone who stepped in at the last minute, Andrew Parfenov stepped up and helped to capture what felt like every moment of our day as perfectly as possible. He was super quick ...
and responsive to us throughout the whole day. His ability to be given an idea, create a vision, and command the room to execute it to perfection helped bring our ideas to life to create the perfect photos. We could not recommend a better person to help bring your special day together. Andrew was beyond any expectation we had. If you want a photographer that knows how to capture the moment and is absolutely amazing to work with, book Andrew!
Guy Wagner was the perfect videographer to help capture our wedding day. Leading up to the wedding, he was great at asking the right questions to figure out what type of style and vibe we were looking for. He had great attention to detail, and it showed throughout our wedding day. Our sneak peak video really shows how he captured our love, and I can't wait to see the full final edit. Knowing how he was during our day, I know that it will be an amazing video that captures our day perfectly.

Our experience with Bellagala Photography could not have been anymore perfect! Bonita did our initial shots for our Save the Date photos and we felt like we were heard by her in ho...
w we wanted the shots. Those were completed in fall 2024 at Elm Creek Park. She captured the colors and the lighting effortlessly and we were so happy with the end results. Due to an unforeseen emergency, Bellagala photography did have to switch us to different photographers for our wedding, in this case Billy and Emmerlee, but they took care of us!! Billy and Emmerlee did an excellent job capturing our day, the pictures still bring tears to my eyes even a few weeks later. They captured the most memorable moments during our ceremony, they utilized the landscape perfectly to exemplify the beauty of our venue, the angles brought out the best in all of our expressions, and they were on the constant looking for moments to shoot. Billy's creativity is awe-inspiring and Emmerlee as his help was tireless in making sure my dress and florals were in the correct position. We completed ALL of our family shots we wanted in a TIMELY and THOROUGH fashion, which is a tall order considering how many family shots we had. We also completed a 'Golden Hour' shoot and those were absolutely stunning. I cannot rave enough about how these two professionals are still bringing us back to our day over and over again with their beautiful photos. I do suggest you have two photographers, especially if you have a beautiful venue. They were constantly working for us and we cannot say thank you enough, our hope is this review will assure that Billy and Emmerlee get the accolades, attention, and work they so deserve. From the bottom of our hearts, Billy and Emmerlee, we thank you.
