Ella was our videographer! She was amazing. She brought Jovi with her and together they captured our wedding day and made it fun. Ella consulted us before the wedding and gave us some great organization and timing tips. She paid close attention to our desires and vibe. She was a great asset during the day by keeping us organized, on time and making our video personal and tell our story. She wanted to be sure to capture each step of our day and even stayed extra to get some of our guests dancing. If you need a knowledgeable, organized, creative, and fun videographer, Ella is it!

We had Mike as our videographer and he was amazing!! He was very professional and kind! He worked very well with the photography team and were able to capture a lot of our shots at the same time so we weren’t constantly going. He was able to get a lot of moments that showed our personalities of us, friends, and family. He also brought his drone to get footage of the whole wedding venue! He was always on top of it and ready to get my husband mic’d up for our vows and ceremony. We don’t have enough good words for Mike! We can’t wait to see the amazing work come together in the videos!

Ella's and Jovi were great to work with. Very communicative and provided helpful suggestions along the way. They were fully immersed in our celebration, dancing and enjoying while taking unforgettable footage of our event! Jovi even broke out in a breakdance which Ella's captured on a cell phone and provided it, separately from our video package. Would recommend!!!!

Ella and Jovi were amazing. Ella was critical in helping plan out our timeline for the first look, ceremony, and reception. On the day of, Ella and Jovi were amazing at getting the perfect shot and making us feel like superstars! Highly recommend working them!

Ella and Jovi were the dream team we needed for our wedding! They were easy to work with, imaginative, and brought some great still shots to life. Ella was so sweet and was constantly offering to help. Jovi was making us smile and brought a superior level of professionalism with his quickness and agility in time sensitive situations. They both also jumped in to celebrate with us towards the end of the night, continuing to video the reception dancing and fun. An amazing duo I would recommend again and again.
Hannah A
They did beyond amazing. They made sure I got what I paid for, they also were very open ideas. As long as you work with them they will work with you. Even if you are rushing and don’t have a lot of time

Sara and James were phenomenal at my wedding. Sara put up with endless mosquitos for the perfect engagement shots. The day of the wedding she was fun, flexible, and wasn't afraid to order guests around for some group shots. She was an absolute blessing. James was fun and engaging, he was in the thick of the party and recording the moments that counted. I can't think of a better pair to capture all the best moments of my special day.

We did a package of both photo and video and were so happy to have both services with one agency. Ella and Jovy took video and Trish did our pics. They worked together seamlessly and captured much of what was unique about our day. We had almost as many dogs as humans at our wedding and they all went with the flow. We are thrilled with our end product!
Sabrina M
Our experience with Videography with Ella Chissotti was amazing! Her communication went above and beyond pre-wedding, and it was no surprise that she and her videography partner Jovi went above and beyond with their energy and presence on the day of the wedding as well. We cannot wait to get our videography footage back! One note about Bellagala themselves - our original assigned videographer left the company 2 months before our wedding and they forgot to tell us. We were able to sort it out and get assigned to another videographer, but there was some stress/confusion there. Otherwise great experience overall!
Andrea S
Adam Tapper with Bellagala was our videographer, he did everything he said he would. He said his goal is to blend in like he's not even there but capture the moments. We haven't seen the videos yet but we know he got some great footage, he did extremely well blending in, we never felt like there was someone constantly there with a camera but every time we focused on it we noticed him capturing moments we would have otherwise missed. Adam worked so well with the photographer and day of coordinator it felt like they have worked together several times. We cannot wait to watch the videos of our special day, thank you for taking the time to be there for all of our special moments. We highly recommend Adam if you are looking for someone who clearly has a vision and knows just what to do and where to be.
Susana C
No words to describe how awesome our videographers where from day one till the last minute they share with us at our wedding. They felt like family they where extremely profesional and worked with us I would do any event with them and highly recommend them.
Crystal O
Our videographer was Mike and I would give him 10 stars if I could. We were very impressed with his ability to capture our day. He made both of us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and half the time I did not even realize he was capturing moments. I am so ecstatic to see our videos and see all of the candid shots he got due to his ability to record and capture moments so discreetly. He had great ideas and worked so well with our photographer. He was incredibly flexible when we had to change the timeline on some things and was more than willing to provide great ideas to get great footage throughout the day. Again, I cannot recommend Mike enough. My Husband also felt so comfortable, and he is not the type to be comfortable in front of a camera. I was so happy we hired Mike through Bellagala to capture our day!
Briana M
We had Tim T. from Bellagala and he was amazing! We couldn't have asked for anyone better! He kept our day running smoothly and was very easy and comfortable to work with! We would highly recommend Tim T. for wedding videography!
Tori P
Todd Wardrope was the videographer for our recent wedding, and he was excellent! He was organized, communicative and asked helpful questions leading up to the day. He also got some amazing shots and went out of his way to create a teaser video for us while we wait for the final edit :) He even captured some special moments that I didn’t see day of so it was that much more special to have the video. I can’t wait to see more and would definitely recommend Todd!
Tori H
Todd Wardrope recently shot our wedding and he was great! Very professional, communicative and got great shots. He even provided a teaser video, which was artfully styled and captured some amazing moments I didn’t get to see day of :) We can’t wait for the final video!
Sonia R
Our Videographer Jerome was very professional and smoothly capturing without being invasive! We can’t wait to see the final outcome of our wedding day!
Paige M
Bellagala was so easy to work with! We weren't sure if we wanted to hire a videographer for our wedding, but Bellagala had a great promotion deal going on so we decided to jump on it! I'm so glad we did! Our videographer, Patrick, was so great to work with and we can't wait to see what he puts together for us! Thank you Bellagala!!!
Echo M
Jesse Monson was our videographer and he was assigned to us a couple week before the wedding. We had a great phone chat beforehand where we talked about what we did and didn't want as part of the wedding. At the wedding itself, Jesse did a great job of capturing various moments and working alongside our photographer, Jess. He was super kind and courteous and made sure to get everything that we were looking for. I can't wait to see the final video!
Wish V
Jesse was a top notch videographer!! We haven’t seen our videos yet but he was a vibe!! My family enjoyed his energy and overall we saw him a lot with our photographer and helping capture every moment. I had a special request to have my dance routine recorded as well as guests and my now husband’s reaction to the surprise dance routine. Jesse knows exactly what he’s doing! We definitely recommend Jesse to be your videographer!
Anna H
We hired bellagalla last minute to be our wedding videographer and I’m so glad we did! Mike was amazing on our wedding day- I almost didn’t book one because the one at my brother in laws wedding was really intrusive and it was bothersome to guests- but Mike did an incredible job of capturing our day! He was lovely to work with and Max has been really helpful putting our video together! we were very happy with bellagala and will cherish these videos forever!
Keira H
Jesse was so wonderful to work with! He was great at throwing around ideas and capturing what we wanted! He was extremely friendly, professional, and helpful. We would recommend him to anybody in a heartbeat!
Mariah R
I can't say enough good things about Tim with Bellagala! From the day we booked them through wedding week, both Tim and the Bellagala team consistently reached out to me and were extremely responsive in order to collaborate and make the best plan for our day. Tim listened to what our vision was and how comfortable we were in front of the camera and from there he worked magic! He gave us great tips and direction in order to capture us in our most natural state throughout the entire day. He brought great energy to our day, was extremely flexible (our timeline changed the week of the wedding!), and was just as excited as we were for our day! He also worked so well with our photographer and DJ to ensure that the day went smoothly. We can't thank him enough for being such a big part of our day!
Rob C
We used Bellagala for videography services for our wedding. We decided last minute (like a month before our wedding) that we NEEDED to have video for our wedding. They had no problem accommodating us and matching us with a videographer who would fit our needs. We needed someone who would shoot low light due to our venue, and they listened and made sure we got someone with experience in that area.James was our videographer, and he was awesome! He showed up very early, worked super well with our photographer (from another agency) and helped direct our posing and behavior on camera to make our video the best that it could be. We were very happy with the result. In the end, we got a 3 minute highlight video with music, as well as complete videos of our reception events (speeches, first dances, etc.) and full video of our ceremony. We are so glad to have these to look back on - we were going back and forth for the longest time on if it was worth it, and we can definitively say now that it was! I will also say that after they delivered the videos, I asked for one tweak to be made to the highlight video - they executed the change I requested perfectly and got it turned back around to me just a few days after I asked for the change. For the record, the change was not to correct any error by them, but purely a preference thing from our end. Long story short, Bellagala was great, James was great, and you SHOULD get a videographer!
Alyssa C
Couldn't have asked for a better team to have as a part of our day filming for our wedding video. Tim, (and Jesse) Sarah (and Jennifer) made us feel SO comfortable and like we knew him for ages. We cannot wait to get our photographs and video back because we know it will be unbelievable.
Jenny B
Can't say enough good things about our experience with our videographer from Bellagala! Tommy was so much fun to work with and did such an amazing job. He made us feel comfortable right away and we were blown away by our wedding video! We also chose to pay for our raw footage after fact and were impressed with how quickly we received it. Highly recommend Tommy and the bellagala team!
Lexie J
I always wanted a videographer and we didn't book one right away with all other wedding planning, and then last minute decided we had to have it! We had Jesse for our videographer and we absolutely loved him. He was so personable, captured moments, and went above and beyond! After a few hours, it felt like I had known him for years. We haven't got the video footage back yet but we know it is going to be amazing. THANK YOU! 10/10 recommend and so glad we booked our videography through Bellagala.
Jorian O
We hired Ella & Jovi for videography through Bellagalla and they were utterly fantastic!! Such kind, thoughtful, & professional individuals who made my husband and I so comfortable and they were so easy to work with!! They also have their own company: ALL WAYS Film and Photography. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!!
Rachel J
I would recommend Jeremy Goldstein, I hardly knew he was there to capture the true moments of happiness that we had. I didn't want to miss a thing this day. I am the MOB and a recent breast cancer survivor. I was not sure if I would be here for this important day. I would give him a 10 on a scale of 1-5. He was AMAZING!
Jake P
Jake did an excellent job at our wedding! Looking forward to seeing the final product
Lynze R
Absolutely fantastic people, gorgeous edits, can not wait to see the wedding photos and video!! Tricia was our photographer and she was so good. I said we needed direction and she was so professional letting us know the best way to get everything we wanted and get the best pictures! Our wedding was somewhat unusual being a costume party wedding, and both Tricia and our videographer Jake totally rolled with it and made us feel great about choosing Bellagala! Jake was so fun, very laid back and did a great job getting all the footage we wanted. Gave directions when we needed them and otherwise just flew solo and did his thing. I would highly recommend both Tricia and Jake - it's so worth it to get photos and video on your once in a lifetime day! We will have these pictures and footage for a lifetime and I'm so glad we chose them to get it for us. Would rate ten stars if I could!
Mary W
Jesse was incredible! Made our Thursday wedding absolutely perfect! He was very easy to work with!
Ivy S
Tim, our videographer, not only does he possess excellent videography skills, but he's also incredibly easy, fun, and friendly to work with! Andrea and Laura, our talented harpist and cellist, were exceptional. From planning to the wedding day, they genuinely care for the couples they work with. They went above and beyond in every way. Shoutout to Gabby and Max! Their customer service game is on point. Whether it's quick replies or smoothing things out post-wedding, these two have got it covered. Thank you all, I truly enjoyed working with them all!
Amber W
Bellagala was amazing to work with! Very professional, communicative, and the artists are so skilled! We had Tiffany for photography, Brad for our DJ, Todd for videography, and Alison for floral. They were great!
Meagan C
We had Jeremy from Bellagala as our videographer for our wedding and could not be happier with how everything turned out! Jeremy was so kind, and he was able to get all of the important shots to document the day while still being unobtrusive. It is so special to have footage from our big day, and the videos are absolutely stunning. We'd highly recommend Bellagala for their videography services!
morgan K
Jake was awesome! He was attentive during the day and on time. We really enjoyed having videography!
Mina L
I feel so fortunate to have had Tim Thornburg as my wedding videographer. He communicated in advance to understand my husband and my vision for the wedding video and coordinated with our photographer. My husband and I can be pretty awkward in front of the camera, but his encouragement made it feel natural. Thank you so much!
Maison F
My husband and I got married on May 20, 2023 at Brentrup Heritage Farm in Maplewood Minnesota with roughly 120 guests. We found Bellagala through WeddingWire, and they were always very responsive to us. They were able to work with our budget, and we booked during a special promotion. They even had another promotion in December where we further received a discount on our final payment. Bellagala was always very responsive and welcoming. Bonita Q was our photographer, and Todd W was our videographer. Overall, when looking back at the wedding day, both my husband and I have no complaints about either of these wonderful people. We were able to Zoom with both of them beforehand. Bonita, especially, was very precise and was awesome at remembering everything. In retrospect, I wish I had booked a second photographer in addition to her because there was so much to be captured. I did end up adding on some hours a couple weeks before the event for more time, which was a great idea. In total, we paid close to $3,500. I value that Todd was able to get video of the guests enjoying themselves while Bonita was focused on the bride, bridesmaids, groom, and groomsmen. Both of them were very flexible, and I love their styles. I would highly recommend booking with them both. Something I would’ve done differently is I wish I would’ve booked the full package services with the photographer, videographer, DJ, and floral. This will save couples a lot of money if they do everything all together. It is also nice because you’re just working with one company.
Robert
Jake is a super professional, easy going and unbelievably hard working. I worked with him on many hot, sunny days and he never complained- he's always upbeat and easy to communicate with. Jake's always willing to go the extra mile, and he's got a vast knowledge of cameras, shooting -lighting technique, and assembly rigs. Can't recommend him enough.
Karen & John K
Our videographer, Mike, was also from Bellagala and he was great. He had actually worked multiple weddings with Rachel before, so they were able to feed off of each well and coordinate shots. It took almost 2 months to receive our footage back, but we were happy with it!
Ryan
Wow! Seth, you were absolutely amazing to work with and we could not be happier with our wedding videos. You really nailed it! Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding day and giving us these videos to remember it forever
Kirsten & Noble R
Our videographer, Sean, was a pleasure to work with! He answered all our questions and was there to capture the most important moments. We would really recommend working with Bellagala to ensure speeches and the ceremony are captured!
Selina
Matt gave us the most beautiful wedding video. He pieced together all of our special moments from the big day that we can hold onto forever. He was very professional and worked completely to my schedule. He was flexible and very polite to all of the guests. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.
Cassie N
Bellagala was so easy to work with. They provided quality staff that were equally easy to work with and really cared about making sure our wedding was the best it could be for us. I would highly recommend Bellagala to anybody and everybody for any event!
Christian
Seriously, words could not even begin to describe how ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE of a job Kyndra did filming our wedding. It was pretty short notice, chaotic, but she met every single need, answered every question, and over-delivered in every way. Her storytelling, lighting, shooting, directing, editing, just everything was done to such perfection. Not only that, but she was an absolute JOY to have around. It was a very small and intimate wedding, and everyone there LOVED Kyndra, she was seriously just so great. If you need a wedding videographer, trust me don't hesitate.
Alex
Because of Greg, I am able to relive all the magic moments of my wedding day. With so many things to plan for our wedding, Greg took away the stress of having our special day recorded forever.
Tonicia
Matt is one of the most honest, reliable, respectful, and driven men we know. Not to mention, his work is beyond astounding. He puts so much time into everything he does. But videography his God-given talent. He has worked hard to get where he is but he's so naturally good at it that it gives his cusomters a set of ease. He's not pushy. He's laid back but is always on time and makes promises he can keep. You really need to give him a shot! you won't be disappointed!!!
Hannah
"I've known Matt for over a decade now and he is an all-around great guy! He has always had a passion and creativity for producing videos and he is very talented at it. I would highly recommend him.
John
Jacob's positive attitude is only surpassed by his incredible eye. He's a total pro who knows his craft. He's a great shooter, but he's equally proficient lighting an important interview or large scene with lots of moving parts.
Heather
We originally decided we weren't going to have a videographer at our wedding, thinking plenty of our guests would probably film the wedding with their phones. During one of my bridal showers, my friends recorded me seeing my aunt who came in from out of town as a surprise. Once we watched that video, we knew we were making the wrong decision to not have a video of our wedding. Now that we've gotten all three videos, including the highlights, ceremony, and reception, we are ECSTATIC that we made this decision. There are simply things you don't ever see because the whole night goes by so fast, but I can't imagine missing those moments in hindsight. We are so happy with the videos and Alan and his co-videographer were amazing. It was literally like we didn't even know they were there and they did a fantastic job capturing all of our intimate moments. Having a videographer there was the best decision we ever made! Thank you Alan and Bellagala for making our wedding memories so special
Ashleigh & Rob G
We worked with Bellagala for both our videography and DJ. Our videographer Adam was fantastic. He worked well with our photographer to make sure he got the shots he needed without interfering with any of our photos. Rheo, our DJ, was absolutely fabulous. He paid attention to our online portal and requests, and executed everything from our ceremony music to the reception flawlessly. He made sure there were always people on the dance floor.
Patsy M
Thank you so much!!! Emmalee and Tyler’s video is amazing!!! You captured it perfectly!! Would highly recommend!!
Kyra Lynn
Guy W is a remarkable artist; one whose passion for artistry and capturing the magical moments shines through all of his work. We were beyond words thrilled with the movie Guy created for our wedding. His creation has been a huge highlight as we share stories about the wedding. The short film has brought us, our family and friends to tears. For friends who were not able to make it, we loved sending them the link to the video—and the consensus was always the same—people shared how beautiful it looked! Guy was able to not only capture the beauty of our special day, he wove it together to truly tell a story. We always do and will continue to recommend him for future photography and film projects!
Saleka K
The vendors were punctual and helpful in being flexible and professional. We are so glad we hired them for our wedding.
Josh K
When producing projects, I need a great DP/camera op. Jacob gets the first call from me. He's a very talented, easy going guy who really knows what he's doing, and is easy to work with. From broadcast to corporate and short form web, Jake's shot hundreds of days for me. And more to come. Do not hesitate to hire him.
Maria D
Amazing is all I can say! So professional and captured every moment we could have asked for! So many compliments from our family and friends.
Erin
We LOVED having Kyndra as part of our wedding day! She was so flexible and go with the flow the whole day! We felt so comfortable and she captured every moment perfectly! The finished product was so amazing and we are forever grateful for the results of our videos.
Chelsea R
INCREDIBLE wedding videos! They provided us video of pretty much the entire evening, along with a 5 minute video with highlights. This is something we will cherish FOREVER!
Talia R
We used Bellagala for our videography services. We really loved our final product as well as how the interactions went with our videographer on the day of. Bellagala hires independent contractors, so do your research and be comfortable with who you choose. I would make sure they fit your aesthetic for the day and your personalities match. Also, it did take about 7 weeks to get our final videos back, so plan on waiting for a little while before you will get your videos. Overall, we were pleased with the communication, service, and final product.
Alissa
I can't say enough about how great Guy was! Guy made us feel special and important at every step of the process and I never felt like we were just "one more couple" or "one more wedding." Obviously everyone always says that your wedding day goes by so quickly and it's hard to get to see all of the sweet and funny things that happen, but Guy captured all of those moments for us and more. Not only did he get some great shots of us preparing for the wedding, and of course the ceremony, but he also got some really fun footage of our guests enjoying themselves at the reception. He captured the uniqueness and spirit of our wedding in a documentary-like fashion that felt true to our wedding, and not just a generic cookie cutter wedding video. Maybe the best thing about Guy though is that he was just a super fun and positive person to have around on our wedding day. I can't overstate how striking that was to us. Every time I saw him at the wedding, he was smiling, super calm, and seemed genuinely happy to be there. His presence on that day helped to relax, knowing that we'd get to keep enjoying the day once we got our video back. I was right, once we received our video, I watched it over and over again! Thanks Guy for your phenomenal work!
