La Bella Vita Photography

hotos are gorgeous and she really makes you look and feel like the most beautiful couple . I would recommend her to everyone and anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Seriously, there is no possible way to be disappointed. Cheryl is the BEST!

nt and comfortable! You just know that no matter what chaos come up, your photos will be AMAZING! She is a dream to work with and we will cherish our photos forever! We are eternally grateful!

agement session AND WEDDING! We automatically fell IN LOVE with her at our engagement shoot, she was SO much fun to work with and made us feel soooo comfortable (especially since we had never done any type of photo shoot before). Going into our wedding day when our nerves were sky high she again made us feel so comfortable. I knew that she was going to deliver amazing pictures but I literally cannot put into words HOW AMAZING they actually turned out. She got every single moment, every detail, every smile, every tear. I will forever cherish these pictures (and there's A LOT, like I mean A LOT of them) & will forever be thankful for this woman! If you are looking for a photographer you will absolutely not be disappointed going with Cheryl!!!! We love La Bella Vita Photography!!

ered... and then some! She is professional, talented, AWESOME and made our wedding a day to remember. She captured all the little details of the wedding that we would have never thought to capture and looking back, we are so glad she did. I highly recommend La Bella Vita for all weddings!

or life and I smile when I think of the fact that down the road when we have babies and any other event we will be begging her to take those photos too! Cheryl is charismatic, energetic, and makes the entire process so fun. During the day of the event she conducted everything like a professional maestro....there were many exes and blended families and Cheryl smoothly and effortlessly moved the right people in to the photos and the right people gently out, making what could be uncomfortable, seemless. She was out on that dance floor with us getting every happy moment, she ran table to table with us capturing people we didn't want to skip over on accident, she paid incredible attention to detail and gave gentle reminders of what to do next when things were chaotic. Simply put she was phenomenal and I can't imagine anyone else sharing this day with us and making it so special. We wanted our engagement photos out in the mountains and she was out there hiking with us -schlepping cameras and crawling around cactuses. The product was the most beautiful photos I've ever seen (I'm biased) but the reaction our friends and family shared was that of awe and everyone asking where we found our photographer! I could never give enough warm words or praise that would do Cheryl or La Bella Vita Photography justice. Bottom line I couldn't be happier and would HIGHLY recommend Cheryl to all couples looking for an amazing photographer!!!

om the beginning, Cheryl was so friendly and welcoming. Quite honestly, she felt like an old friend immediately. Our engagement photo shoot was so much fun! She made us feel so special the entire time. She surpassed all my expectations as a photographer. The day of wedding, she was so great with all my friends and family even other vendors like the makeup crew and coordinators. Her work ethic and professionalism shows through her prompt and concise emails, txts and phone calls. She made herself available to me all the time. All questions were always answered with such passion and care. I could keep going on and on. I am just so lucky I found her and she captured our wedding memories. So worth every penny!

endliest person to be around. Both my fiancé and I were nervous about shooting, and she made us feel instantly comfortable. In hiring Cheryl, we got stunning images to last a lifetime, but we also gained a friend. We don't have enough nice things to say about her and plan on having her be our family photographer for life. BTW Cheryl, call me so we can go on that coffee date we've been talking about! ;)

e wanted when it came to our wedding photos. She went out of her way to make sure that everything was perfect before and during the big day! She made it personal and connected with both me and my husband. I couldn't recommend anyone better! We love La Bella Vita Photography!

info/mini planer, and misc things to the follow ups and wedding coordination. I honestly don't think she took one bad photo out of the 2500+ photos she took!! Her work is rather impressive and I am thankful to have found her and used her for my wedding.

um, and she was also flexible with her packages. She is timely and genuine. Her work speaks for itself! Thank you so much, Cheryl, for giving us perfect memories from the best day of our lives!

ook at her pictures you'll tell that that's all she has a shoot beautiful Brides. Throughout the whole wedding shoes making us giggle and she seemed to be enjoying the time to. She didn't make my wedding feel like it was just another wedding for her, she individually makes each wedding feel like it's something special and close to her heart. After we got our photos I cried because I felt like I was back there again and she makes me feel like my picture should be in a magazine. love you Cheryl!!

rything turned out PERFECT. She brought along an awesome second shooter, and I cannot even describe how great it all turned out. She truly goes above and beyond for her brides. If you're looking for a personal experience unlike any other, she is your girl!! We'll be trusting her with all of our photos forever!!!

awe of how she captured our special day and once in a life-time moments. My advice for other brides out there…no need to look any further, you have found your photographer!

ment and so much more. You won't regret hiring this amazing woman for your day.. like I said she is simply the very best in every way!

Vita) to shoot my engagement photos & wedding. The quality of the content she is producing is by far the best available on the market here in AZ! I can't stress enough how talented Cheryl is. Her ability to capture the grandeur of a wedding day while remaining distinctly subtle and nuanced is what sets her apart from all other photographers. Cheryl's skill set is unmatched, there is no doubt. However it is not just the impressive skill set that makes her great. She manages her business with excellence, goes above and beyond to meet the needs of her clients, maintains flexibility and is FUN! The skills, the business management, the customer service, Cheryl is all a couple is looking for when they decide to hire a photographer... But what REALLY sets her apart is ...her. Cheryl is just a wonderful person and I am grateful to call her a friend now. My wife and I hired out a lot of different vendors for my wedding but we remain friends with only one. It felt like friendship from the moment we inquired with Cheryl about her services and thats because it WAS! We love her, going forward we wont hire anyone else to take our pictures, she's simply the best.

. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and knows how to give direction in order to get the best photos. There is no awkwardness whatsoever. She takes her time with you to make sure you get all the shots you want, and her attention to detail is incredible. She notices every little thing and works hard to make it perfect for her clients. She has done wedding and engagement photos for at least 5 other couples that my husband and I know and she has knocked it out of the park each and every time. We won't hire anyone else for our photography needs in the future. She is our go-to. Cheryl is fun, generous, and LOVES to love people. She is sure to add an enormous amount of joy to the best and most important day of your life. Hire her! You won't regret it.

is everything you want in a photographer; personable, professional and loves her clients! We only had 30 minutes of daylight to get all of our shots in after the ceremony. Cheryl was ON POINT! She captured some of the best photos in those fast paced minutes, and I couldn't be more grateful. Our wedding was INCREDIBLE because of her. She is a magician and deserves more than 5 stars. You will LOVE HER!

our special day! I didn't want anyone else! Cheryl made us feel so comfortable and really caught all of the magic on our day. She is very professional and gives 110%! 5 stars all the way

I knew I wanted a great photographer, because I wanted photos I could look back on for years, and she over-delivered! Spectacular. I would recommend her ten times over to everyone!

shots. Family photos and candid photos were important to me, and Cheryl took time and care to take the photos she knew I would appreciate. She went above and beyond, suggesting great ideas for photos and took the time to follow us around to make sure we got the photos with family and friends that we wanted! Cheryl so obviously loves what she does and captures incredible memories. Her fun spirit helps her subjects feel comfortable and smile genuinely. My whole wedding party and family talked about how great Cheryl was at the wedding, and now that we've seen the photos, everyone is blown away by the finished product. I highly recommend La Bella Vita Photography!

were a little scared. We never personally met her and all our communication was done via phone or email. Wel,l we are so happy we chose her. She was prompt in responding to any of our questions and her photos are all stunning. We couldn't be more happy. We will truly be able to look back on these photos and remember our special day. We would highly recommend Cheryl for any of your photography needs!! Give her a call, you won't regret it!!

work, there was NO doubt in my mind my husband and I wanted her. She has so many creative, BEAUTIFUL and unique ideas to bring out during the photo shoot. She made this experience the BEST one I've ever had. Aside of her level of skill, she is incredibly fun and easy to get along with! She made the photo shoot run so smoothly and I was able to be myself throughout the entire shoot! I'm usually super camera shy, but with her personality, I was able to get the BEST pictures. I'm so grateful for her life and I'm glad we chose her. Take some time and review her work, it's breathtaking. You will NOT regret it. Thank you Cheryl for your kindness! - And - for capturing so many beautiful pictures of the most important day of my life. You are truly talented and the WHOLE world should find this out! - Marielena

. Cheryl makes you feel like a genuine friend. She makes you laugh, truly gets to know you, captures incredibly gorgeous images, and then turns them over on a great USB drive. We upgraded with her and are getting a book done as well... worth it!!!

he capture what I asked for and MORE! My friends and family commended her and thought she was exceptional. Cheryl was a pleasure to speak with on the phone, correspond though email and of course in person. I enjoyed my wedding so much and she captured every moment. When I would think, oh I would love a picture right now, what do you know there she was before I could even say a thing! thank you Cheryl for sharing your gift with us. I love looking at our pictures!

ll cherish forever. Taking picture's during our wedding was a blast, not a chore :) I can't wait to use her again for our family pictures. Found a gem with her! I would recommend using her to everyone.

d have wanted in a photographer! She makes you feel so comfortable and at ease. We had a HUGE wedding party and she handled everyone with perfection. People literally drool over the amazingness that she did with our wedding pictures! They really are so stunning and she really did an incredible job! I had a handful of friends get married after me and they of course all used the best-CHERYL! She's patient, a great communicator, she's kind, she's full of energy, she's your best friend! She's amazing at her job and there's a great comfort knowing that your pictures without a doubt will turn out amazing! Cheryl will be our forever photographer because when you find something great you never let it go!!

esmaid's did, we kept commenting on how she seemed like one of our friends and we'd just met her!) Fast forward a few months and I found myself engaged and shopping for wedding vendors. I knew I loved Cheryl so much and HAD to have her as my wedding photographer, so she was the first vendor I booked. Now, I'm a smart girl with a wedding budget, so don't think I didn't do my research before I booked Cheryl, I shopped around for other photographers, compared pricing and quality of work and Cheryl blew everyone out of the water on both accounts. She has a great array of pricing that will suit any budget and her quality is out of this world! I knew I loved her wonderful personality and that she would help draw my shy fiance out of his shell on our big day to make sure we got wedding pictures that I would be proud to display for the rest of my life. She made our wedding photography a fun part of the day instead of a chore that needed to be done for the sake of memories. Cheryl not only captured amazing pictures of my husband and I, but she got some of the loveliest shots of our venue and decor as well as amazing 'action shots' of our guests throughout the night. Everyone at my wedding adored her and my very large family now wants to adopt her and make her one of us! If you 're looking for an amazing, well priced, phenomenally talented photographer to shoot your wedding, you absolutely cannot go wrong in choosing Cheryl of La Bella Vita Photography!

res she did – she did not miss a detail. Cheryl’s ability to connect with our entire wedding party (which included a wide range of personalities) is truly amazing as she captured the best of each of them. My super frugal husband closely critiqued every dollar we were spending; upon receiving our beautifully packaged USB and all of the fantastic photos, he could not have been more pleased with the money spent. Cheryl is the most kindhearted, energetic and fun loving person to work with and perfectly captured our best day ever. You truly feel like you are taking pictures with a best friend when you’re with Cheryl.

we actually hired Cheryl without having met her first! But we didn't have to because, in all of our correspondence, we knew that Cheryl was the perfect fit. By the time our wedding day arrived, we felt like we had known Cheryl for years! She is one of the coolest, most genuine people and truly one of the best photographers we've ever seen. She found the perfect spots for sweet pictures of my family, husband, and I and her images are gorgeous. We could not be more pleased with our beautiful wedding images and with the phenomenal customer service La Bella Vita Photography provides. Thank you, Cheryl!

he day we first met her at our engament session she made us feel so comfortable and we had nothing but fun shooting the pictures. After that day we knew we had made the right choice choosing her. When the big day finally came she was AMAZING! I was a little worried that having only 1 photographer would mean that not all moments would be captured but boy was I wrong! I don't know how she did it but she was EVERYWHERE! Not only did I notice that but so did my guest and they had nothing but great things to say about her. Everyone loved her! She did such an amazing job and our pictures prove that. Anyone who hires her for their big day will not be disappointed!!

ere the pics beautiful but Cheryl made us feel very relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire day. She made the overall experience a memorable one that I will always cherish. Cheryl also had great ideas about poses, and what to wear and where to take the pics. I felt very comfortable and forgot I was even taking pictures. I would highly recommend her to any bride.

se and I had the pleasure of meeting Cheryl. She was so sweet, energetic and funny. I knew she was passionate about photography and her photos absolutely captured that! After the third visit to her booth that night, I knew I was obsessed and I knew that I HAD to have her photograph our wedding, no matter where it ended up being. Needless to say, I locked her in as our photographer as soon as I could! From start to finish, she has been nothing short of amazing. It may take her a little to get back to your emails at first.. but she will.. and in great detail! She's a busy woman! My fiancé was not thrilled about the cost of the photography initially but I assured him I knew it would be nothing short of amazing and I knew it was something I wanted to make other sacrifices for because of how much I value beautiful photography [and photographers!]. After we got in the car to return home from our engagement session, he immediately said, "she's so worth it." From then on, he had no doubt about it that Cheryl was the right photographer for us. She made us feel so comfortable and like we had known her for a lot longer than we had! Not to mention our photos were incredible. Little did we know that our wedding pictures would literally BLOW US AWAY. We received so many compliments from guests about how great/friendly/funny Cheryl was and how she just blended. She was so discrete during the ceremony that nobody even knew she was there.. my maid of honor said she doesn't even remember seeing her.. yet she was able to capture an insane amount of incredible photos! She was so considerate of all of our requests. I cannot say enough about how amazing she is! She captured EVERY.SINGLE.DETAIL with an insane amount of passion and it truly shows in the photos. She will NOT let you down on your big day!!!

y of OUR wedding as if she would want to remember every detail the rest of HER life. She captured every detail and every moment of the day. The quality of work we received was far beyond what we could have hoped for, and we are beyond satisfied. We look at the pictures La Bella Vita gave us on a daily basis and every time we are still in awe over how wonderful the day was. On the most eventful day of my life, I trusted Cheryl to tell my story, and she did not disappoint!! I relive it vividly any time I want!

ing us laughing! She has the best eye for a variety of shots and has been working in the business for a long time. She is great at capturing the day fully with a mixture of staged photos (that look extremely natural) and a variety of candids from the ceremony to the reception to the dance floor. My husband and I were so grateful that she made sure to get photographs of us with our three energetic and big dogs who are not the most well mannered bunch, but she made sure to cut the time out to get a variety of photos. She also was very efficient with the short time we could afford, making sure to get as many of the photos we wanted as possible. She communicated readily with us throughout the time leading up to the wedding and has continued to be in touch after the wedding. If you are looking for the highest quality photographs, while also having someone that feels like family there supporting and lifting you up on your big day, Cheryl Clark at La Bella Vita is for you. You will have no regrets.

g, and 3) for our Scottsdale, AZ reception. To start with the engagement photos, Cheryl suggested a beautiful spot which my husband and I absolutely loved. She was so bubbly and fun to be around, my husband and I had the best time! She even got my camera-shy husband to relax and have fun! The photos turned out so pretty, exactly as we'd described our vision to Cheryl. On to the wedding. Oh wow. We brought Cheryl up to Telluride, CO for our February, 2015 winter wedding. Despite being at 10,500 feet altitude, Cheryl was up to the task. Our wedding pictures are STUNNING. Literally I've never seen prettier wedding pictures (and have been told this by others too). Cheryl managed to balance the staggering backdrop of the Rockies against the intimacy of our wedding to create a truly AMAZING and GORGEOUS wedding story. Every picture reflects not only her skill as a photographer, but her creativity and passion for what she does. From the small details picture of our rings to the shots of us and our families, everything was absolutely beautiful. Finally to our Scottsdale reception. It was important to us to get lots of different family shots at this event. Cheryl made sure that we got all the possible combinations of people we wanted, and continued throughout the night to ask me and both of my parents if there were any specific pictures we wanted. My parents have since told me that they just loved Cheryl and thought she was so sweet. The pictures she took are gorgeous. I wasn't sure how the background at the venue would photograph, and was blown away at how pretty the pictures turned out. In addition we had wedding pictures displayed at the event and people were coming up to Cheryl and I all night talking about how beautiful our wedding pictures were and how they should be in a magazine. Wow!!! I am running out of room to display all of these awesome pictures. In short, hire Cheryl. She takes gorgeous pictures, she's fun to be around and everybody loved her. We couldn't be happier.

rocess. From the start, Cheryl was responsive, energetic, and genuinely shared the same joy and excitement we had for our big day. She made us feel calm, beautiful, and at ease both in our engagement session and on our wedding day. And the final products – my goodness are they stunning! We just can’t express how wonderful the images are – they perfectly capture every moment of the day and make us look lovely to boot! The pictures even arrive at your doorstep on a USB drive customized with one of your wedding images – a super thoughtful detail that brings back all the wedding excitement when it starts to fade after the big event. Cheryl really captured the magic of our wedding and we 100% recommend her to all future brides!

looking for. After speaking to Cheryl for a few weeks (she was more than patient with me) I bit the bullet and hired her for our wedding. To say this was the right decision does not even cover it. It's almost hard for me to write this because putting into words does how amazing Cheryl is just does not seem possible. This woman is phenomenal at what she does! She is a true artist with her profession. From the beginning, my husband and I fell in love with her. Our engagement session was an absolute blast! Then came the big day. I was a photographer's nightmare-- I was incredibly sick on my wedding day. Needless to say, I was panicked about our photos. I was shocked when they were done- not a single photo do I look ill. In fact, it was quite the opposite-- you can't even tell something was wrong at all. That takes WORK. Cheryl knew how important wedding photos were and she nailed her job. The perks don't stop there with Cheryl, either. The wedding album she put together is amazing beyond belief! Because she took the time to get to know us, she made an album that fit our style and our wedding perfectly. Selecting La Bella Vita as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. As an added bonus we got Cheryl as a friend!

her we spoke for an hour and a half, and it was love at first chat. I knew then she would be the perfect photographer for us and meeting her/viewing my friends photos only solidified that for me! Through our planning process Cheryl was helpful, encouraging, and over all amazing. A week before she text me to check in and make sure I was doing ok! At the wedding our expectations were more than met! She truly felt like a guest, and kept everyone laughing! There was an unplanned first look with my father that was incredibly emotional she ran with the moment, and even shed a tear herself. It was evident she was capturing the moment right as it was happening, and I have no doubt in my mind that my photos will reflect that. Within 24 hours she had 9 absolutely stunning photos uploaded as a sneak peak. They were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! She made the entire bridal party and my family feel comfortable through photos which is not always easy, especially with a divorces and remarried families. Cheryl is TRULY a pro and we absolutely love her.

her personality and her talent are. Once we booked her for our special day, it was all hands on deck. She wanted to be informed on all of the fun details - see photos of my dress, the bridesmaids, the flowers, etc. so that her inspiration could begin on what our photos were going to look like on our most important day. On the day of, Cheryl was such a pro. She knew exactly what she wanted and what she needed to get an amazing job done. And a special treat, she was able to help me with some boudoir shots for my husband-to-be. I felt so comfortable and calm around her, it's like we had been girl-friends for years. Throughout the entire event, she worked her tail off....so many amazing photos I'm not even totally sure the girl sat down to eat! She sent us our preview while we were on our honeymoon in the Caribbean, and I cried all over again because they were so beautiful, and they captured everything how we remembered it, which says a lot on how quickly Cheryl can get to know you. Once we got all of the photos back, over 2,000 by the way, she told the two of us to open a bottle of wine, sit back and enjoy the slideshow. We did exactly that...and I can't even tell you how amazed we were with everything. I have no idea how we are supposed to choose what will go in our wedding book! And just this past week, she was able to help me put a little 5x7 leather cased book together with my boudoir shots for my husbands birthday...it was perfect! And he was floored! The work she did was just absolutely gorgeous. Overall, the experience we had with Cheryl, and La Bella Vita photography was one I will never forget...my wedding party and guests even commented consistently on how amazing she was. Cheryl is someone that I now consider a dear friend, and I know that we will be for many years to come. You would be missing out on an amazing opportunity if you didn't hire this woman for your wedding...I promise it will be the one thing that when you look back on that day, you won't want to change a thing.

ttle did I know, her personality is as gorgeous as her photos. She has this presence that just makes picture taking easy and effortless. She is seriously like your best friend, wedding coordinator, and photog magician all rolled into one adorable person! Our guests loved her and are still talking about her 6 months after our wedding has passed. During our event, people were commenting on the quality of her gear (including my brother who shoots films in Hollywood!), and saying things like "Your photog ran her tail off. She was everywhere. She didn't miss a shot." Cheryl is taking our holiday/maternity photos this winter because we clearly can't get enough of her. One of my bridesmaids hired Cheryl for her wedding next summer. To sum it up... Our pictures are magic. They tell the story of our love and our life. Cheryl will capture your heart and soul and shine them through her images. If you want your dream photos, you've found your girl.

was perfect. At the wedding she was so much fun, very professional and awesome to work with. We even received many compliments about her from our guests after the wedding too. Not to mention, I'm in love with all of our awesome photos she took for us and I can't thank her enough!! HIGHLY recommend!!
