RECENT PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEWS



"They fit in perfectly within the environment that we were doing…the variety of angles and poses that we wouldn't have thought of were amazing…there are a lot of benefits to the online services…We would definitely recommend them."
Trish & Jeff


"On the day of our wedding it was a great relief to know that while I couldn't guarantee the quality of the food or the behavior of certain guests, I knew I looked great. I keep a wedding picture of us right near my computer at work and I am complimented daily for my radiant glow."
Megan


"It was very important to us that we selected the right organization and photographer for our wedding. Since we live in New York, we wanted to do some of the homework online prior to the requisite visits necessary in picking a photographer. After reviewing the work of a number of photographers online, it was obvious that Bellagala was a serious candidate for consideration. After meeting the Bellagala sales representative and a number of their photographers at the Minnesota Bridal Fair, it was obvious that Bellagala was a professional organization…Our photographer did an excellent job, which began with our engagement photos and culminated with exceptional photos from our wedding day. The two photographers that we had for the event, interacted well with our guests and did an excellent job capturing the spirit of our wedding on film. They captured all of the important moments, and priceless candid moments, without people even realizing they were there. Because of them, we will forever have wonderful images of our wedding day. We could not be happier with our Bellagala experience and highly recommend their services to all."

"Bellagala was the best choice for our wedding photography! The pictures were gorgeous and and a perfect depiction of our special day! Our photographer had a great eye for capturing perfect shots in such a beautiful, fun, and photo-journalistic way. When we began planning for our wedding, finding a great photographer was very important to us so that we could ensure that our portraits would not only be beautiful, but that they would provide memories of the day that we could keep for a lifetime. By choosing Bellagala, we received pictures that were more amazing than we could have ever imagined and truly captured all of the emotions of the day. Our wedding day was the happiest most blessed day of our lives and we are SO thankful to have so many gorgeous pictures to remember every joyous moment of the day! We have and will continue to recommend Bellagala to everyone we know!"

"We could not have been happier with all the services that Bellagala provided. People in our wedding party who have been in lots of weddings said that our photographer was one of the best they've seen. We had a very large wedding party, but he was able to handle it perfectly. I have seen my friend's pictures who spent twice as much as we did, and ours were better. The Finished Album that they provide is priceless, and you get a CD with all your proofs!"

"We had a package for photography and our photographers were phenomenal. They did an awesome job directing our people and getting the shots that we asked for. They were very professional and Randi took the time to meet with my husband and I before the wedding to discuss the particulars of the day and she really took the time to get to know us as a couple. I would not hesitate to rate them both with an "11" on your 10-point scale. We can't wait to see the finished photos and couldn't have been happier with their work on our day. Great people and great photographers."

"The photographers did a fabulous job and were very friendly and accommodating. Jen was great of hunting down my parents to make sure that I got the shots that I had suggested on our photo checklist, we had a great time with them and would love to use them in the future for any photography needs and would definetly recommend them to our friends and family. .. They both exceeded our expectations, they were both very friendly and accommodating and very easy to get along with us and our videographer… And they did a great job of asking what we needed help with. I really wanted to say how much we appreciated Jen, Megan as well as the Bellagala staff on our service. Our wedding turned out great and we are anxious to see our pictures and work with you to help put our album together. I would recommend you guys to our friends and family for any photography needs. Again, thank you for your services and help!"

"Hiring Bellagala as our photographer was the best and the easiest part of our wedding experience. At the moment we hired Bellagala our photographer was there to listen, we were not pressured to follow traditions, she was open to our ideas and therefore created the perfect pictures.

Our photographer (the best in the world), knew that a couple is most beautiful when they are comfortable so she encouraged us to make suggestions. I remember being the director of our engagement photo session, which was so much fun, 4 hours that we were anxious about went by with so much laughter that we didn't want it to end. When our photographer added her professional skills to our photo shoot it produced a whole new glamorous and colorful world for us. As a result of that experience the day of our wedding was terrific, our photographer captured every moment which we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

We attended the Bridal Show with the goal of finding a photographer, we approached many that offered a variety of services but will never forget the moment when we turned around and came back to Bellagala. We felt an instant connection with our photographer and knew she would be the perfect photographer, she was confident and showed a passion for what she does. We got more then we paid for, we got a friendship ithat will last a lifetime. Money can't buy that!!"

"One of the biggest reasons we chose Bellagala was because of the Italian photo album. It is so different than any other album I've ever seen. We fell in love with the craftsmanship and uniqueness of them. Photography was really important to us and my parents as well. My parents weren't able to have professional photography at their wedding, so they wanted to make sure we had the best possible photos. We are so happy with our photos. I think I still look at them on a daily basis!!"
