Jessica was such a delight to work with and so appreciated her calm, comforting demeanor. We were nervous about taking all the photos cause we are not very comfortable in front of the camera, but she did an exceptional job washing those worries away! She also was efficient with managing the timeline so we didn't have to think about it. We got a little behind schedule and she worked to get us back on track, no problem and still covered all the key photos we wanted. Thank you Jessica for all your help to capture our dream wedding!

Jess went beyond our expectations! She was so kind and personable- making us feel so special. If you have people who feel "awkward" having their photo taken, Jess will bring everyone out of their shell and make the entire experience a fun one! She was great with the kiddos too. She even helped coordinate a group photo (160+ people) on the dance floor for us- something we are so grateful to have. Jess was great at capturing the emotion behind each photo and did an amazing job of combining candid and portrait shots. If you want picking your favorite photos to print to be an extremely hard decision (because there are too many good ones to choose from) then Jess is your gal!

We hired Jessica Ramaker with Bellagala for our wedding photography. She was great to work with and extremely efficient! My husband and I have LARGE families and a large wedding party. She helped to ensure we stayed on schedule and obtained the numerous group photos we asked for. She was great!

We hired Jessica Ramaker for our photographer through Bellagala Photography. We had to upgrade our package in order to get her, but it was worth every dime!! Jessica's husband came as her second shooter, and they were so fantastic (and an adorable couple)! What drew us to Jessica is that in her portfolio she had previously shot not just a wedding at the Van Dusen, but a queer wedding at the Van Dusen. This made us feel comfortable choosing her because we knew that she would be able to shoot two brides. During the day she made us feel comfortable, as well as everyone else in our families and bridal parties. She had a way of making everything fun, so we laughed the whole time. She was also so detail-oriented and was great about alternating positions so both of our tattoo sleeves could get a moment. We felt that a benefit of using a Bellagala photographer while also having our wedding at a Bellagala venue was that she knew exactly where to take pictures because she knew the venue so well. She already had ideas of where to take certain pictures at what times of day, which made everything move so smoothly and our pictures turned out incredible!

Jessica R. recently photographed our engagement session + wedding, and she was absolutely amazing!! She was a rockstar capturing beautiful outdoor pictures this winter on one of the coldest days in January, putting in 110% despite the weather. She also went above and beyond on wedding day! She is very professional, and so fun to work with. We were truly amazed by her efficiency, creativity and ability to capture great pictures with our large family (including young kids). We just got our pictures back and still cannot get over how perfect they are! I would 100% recommend.

Cannot say enough how great Jessica Ramaker was as our photographer! She was professional, personable, had a sense of humor and brought a tremendous sense of ease for my wife and I during the wedding. She went above and beyond for us, and we cannot be happier that we had her as our photographer!

Jessica and Brady were amazing! They were super nice and cared a lot about what they were doing. They were always on time and helped with different tasks throughout the day. Would highly recommend!

My wife and I loved working with Jessica and Brady. They both were very knowledgeable and clearly knew the best shots to get in the venue. I have never particularly enjoyed taking pictures, but they really made me feel at ease and even enjoy the process. Even when the process seemed a little awkward!

My husband and I, along with our wedding party and guests, all loved working with Jessica R. for our wedding photography. We have received SO many compliments on our photos and will be forever grateful she captured our love and joy so beautifully. We started working with her a few months before the wedding for our engagement photos and were so thankful she was willing to brave the frigid, December temps in MN to get some magical snowy shots. We couldn't be happier with the quality and artistry of both our engagement and wedding photos. Jessica is fun, friendly, professional, creative and SO talented. Thank you, Jess!!

If you're looking a professional, but fun photographer, Jessica is your go to! Jessica was the best! Jessica has a creative style in her photography; artsy and daring, but her "traditional" photos are clean and crisp too. She is always willing to give your directions and help guide you. She'll help break the ice and make you comfortable right away. She is also responsive! Questions, any time, any day, she will answer you. The return time on the photography was also fast! (We had an October wedding, just keep in mind.) We were very happy with Jessica, and will recommend her to anyone asking!
Noah & Shawna J
Thanks to Jessica for all her help photographing our wedding! Whether it was wrangling our many bridal party members, helping us find the perfect shot amongst fluctuating weather, or even coaching us through signing the marriage license, she was everything we could've asked for in a photographer.

My wife and I used Bellagala for our Photographer, Florist, and DJ and they were amazing! Easy to work with and convenient to book multiple vendors through one place. They have lots of options and talk to you about what your priorities are before sending recommendations. Jessica R. was our photographer and she was perfect for us! She made taking a million pictures fun, listened to what we wanted, and made us feel comfortable. All the pictures turned out perfect, we wouldn't have changed a thing.
Samantha & Joe S
We had Jessica R for our wedding a few weekends ago and she is truly a professional! She is highly sought after and you know exactly why when she does her thing taking your photos. We had a big group (and big family) to manage and she was not flustered once with all the chaos. She is fun and outgoing which made the whole photo-shoot process enjoyable for our whole group. Great with kids too! We can't wait to see all of the photos :)

Having Jessica as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made! From the moment Jessica arrived on our wedding day we felt completely at ease knowing we were in wonderful hands. She is creative, helpful and flexible. We got married in April in Minnesota where the weather was consistently unpredictable. Jessica remained calm, professional and made the entire process enjoyable. She can read emotions and worked with us and with family/friends to not let the pictures run the day, but to let the day lead and the pictures capture the memories. My husband and I felt like supermodels by the end of the night with how much fun we had taking our photos. She was able to beautifully capture real moments of emotion throughout our entire wedding day. She has an eye for lovely photos, dynamic backgrounds and the ability to strategically capture emotion. Our photos are true treasures and we couldn't be more grateful to her for capturing the best day ever!

Our wedding was amazing at Bellagala. It was so easy and still so personalized. We hired the photographer (Jessica Ramaker) for extra time and she was fantastic! I can't speak highly enough about our experience with Bellagala.
Karrah & Stephen C
Our wedding with Bellagala was wonderful. The photographer, Jessica Ramaker, was incredible. She went above and beyond and we are thrilled with the results.
Karrah & Stephen C
We had such a great experience with Bellagala. They provided us with our vendors, who were great. Our photographer, Jessica Ramaker, went above and beyond and the photos were incredible. We hired her to go around the city with us after the ceremony and we couldn't be more thrilled. She really made our unique little wedding so elegant and beautiful.
Kelly & David
Jess was a great help as we planned our wedding from out of state. She even arranged a Skype call a couple weeks before our wedding to make sure we all had the same understandings and expectations. Before and during the actual event, she was very efficient in getting the shots we requested, and had a great attitude which made her fun to work with.
Stacy and Steve
We hired Jessica Ramaker to be our wedding photographer for our upcoming wedding in June of 2021. She took our engagement pictures for us and did a phenomenal job. We immediately felt comfortable around her and this allowed her to get some amazing shots. Jess has a very artistic eye which I very much appreciate, as I enjoy taking photographs myself. We know we have made the best choice for our wedding photographer and we are looking forward to seeing our future wedding photographs!

Bellagala was amazing overall! So accommodating with all the changes during this time and when our first two photographers did not feel comfortable they gave us an upgrade to Jessica R. She was a blast to work with, so kind, funny, and easygoing. We are not huge photo people but Jessica made it easy to get good pictures and was so willing to do whatever we needed or wanted. I would highly recommend Jessica, and Bellagala in general, and can't wait to see our pictures!

Jessica from Bellagala was BEYOND INCREDIBLE! We highly recommend her (and all things Bellagala) to anyone who is getting married and looking for a smooth, exquisite, stress-free, fabulous, professional experience. Specifically, ask for Jessica R. for your photos. She was beyond professional, she was also a ton of fun, and she has an eye for style/angles/innovation/uniqueness. Above all things photography related, she was also a joy for our friends and family. One of the things we didn't think through was that...we just went for "the best" pictures when we selected her...but what we got was so much more. She interacted with our family, and felt like she was a part of the family. It was fulfilling and inspiring to see. We wouldn't have changed one thing!! And her work is impeccable. Not to mention, she was responsive, educated, caring, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process! Jessica, thank you for everything! And Bellagalla, thank you for everything too! It was all perfect.

Incredible service at a reasonable price! Yes, wedding photography is always going to be a bit pricey, but Bellagala was still very reasonable, and all the employees I spoke to/worked with for my wedding really made it feel like our wedding was the most important thing. I felt so valued as a customer, and our wedding photos are amazing. Jessica Ramaker was our photographer, and I would highly recommend her (and Bellagala) to anyone.
