Bella Pictures

I loved them! The coordinator and the photographer and his assistant were all great to work with. I was first somewhat scared of using them because they have such a unique approach. You meet a sales coordinator first then she/he will assign you a photographer the coordinator thinks will fit our needs. Kind of scary, but it worked for me! I was assigned Greg Bumatay and his assistant Danny as a special treat!(I don't know how it happened, but so I got 2 photographers for the price of 1!!!!) Both of them did a great job, they made us comfortable and smile all the time. We even went to take more photos in city lights after the reception and that was the best decision we made.

Our photographs are okay. I love them because they are ours, but I would have liked to see better photographs. I was told by our consultant that our photographer was a more "photojournalistic" photog, but from what I got, I don't really agree. We were also somewhat misled by the consultant, as she seemed to imply that there would be some finishing effects done with the photos, and there is nothing like that at all. He basically took the pictures and put them on discs for us. For what we paid, I guess we can't complain too much, but if I had to do it over again, I would paid more for better quality. I think that the photographer is one of the most important vendors, and I'm just a little disappointed in my choice.

Impeccable customer service and my photographer was a sweetheart. I love people who are willing to work with you. As long as you're not taking advantage of their kindness, you'll see great results. Each and everyone's portfolio was phenomenal on the website. Thank God Bella chose the photographer who was the right fit for me

Are you and your fiance a cookie cutter? NO! Then neither should your wedding pictures be!!!!!!!!! After speaking with the associated on the phone, I couldn't get over the lack of personalization. I felt like I was talking to a robot. They may have inexpensive prices, but not necessarily a good value. Equally good deals can be found with great photographers if you look enough.

The people are super friendly, their prices are a bit steep-you do receive copyrights to your pictures, something a lot of vendors don't do.

We were a bit hesitant about using Bella Pictures, because we wouldn't meet our photographer until about a month before the ceremony. However, Linda Lewis was an awesome photographer. They send you a bio with some sample pictures and you can change if you aren't meshing well with your photog. The booking agent I used, Nicole Taylor, was very sweet and accomodating, and we got a great deal with our package. I can't wait to get the pictures back! Because they were going to train a photographer to join the Bella team, we got 2 photographers for the price of one! Both ladies were wonderful.

They did a terrific job!!! You're not just working with 1 person, you're meeting a team of people who are there to help you!!! The only thing is you don't get to meet your photographer until a week before the wedding! All you have to do is just keep checking in every week through phone or email!! The'yre very friendly and extremely professional!!!

I used Bella for my photography needs and couldn't be more disappointed. I should've ran at the first sign of trouble! An engagement session came with my package. When my husband and I arrived at our wedding sight for this session, our photographer was nowhere to be found. They had access to both my husband and my cell phone numbers and both of our e-mail addresses. Despite that fact, they only tried to call us once on my phone the day before to let us know he wouldn't be available. I will say our photographers were great and the pictures look really nice online for the most part. However, they are not photojournalists! The DVD Montage I just received is BORING and uses some of the pictures I really didn't like! Not to mention the fact that the pictures were stretched so everyone looks very wide!!! When looking at the website it says that you have a creative specialists that works with you on your album after the wedding. I have never heard from one and can't figure out how to use their online system so almost 8 months later I have made no headway on getting my album finished. Considering the fact that I was a teacher and not only made our schools yearbook online but also published a newspaper monthly using an online template, I have no idea how anyone is able to successfully use their online program for their album. So, my advice is to look elsewhere for your photography needs. There is only one day and if it isn't done right the first time, there is no going back. I have lost a lot more that the few thousand dollars I paid them for their services!!!

Bella Pictures is such a great company. It may see weird that they are a national company but I think there concept is a great idea. They have people in every aspect of the business assigned by what they are good at. I think it is hard for photographers who own there own studio to be the secretary, business runner, photographer, editer, etc. This company has a different group taking care of each aspect. You have a person assigned to your wedding organizing dates, photographer, payments, etc. Then you work with the photographer and then for editing you work with the art people who are great at putting your pictures together. I also love that you get to own your own negatives, which is so helpful. We do not have to pick which pictures we want to pay for we get them ALL! Our photographers were wonderful and great to work with! So was everyone!
