Bella Pictures

Bella Pictures (DC area) made us look like stars in our wedding photos! Wonderful, that’s the only word that can you use. We were happy with every aspect of their services. They were easy to work with the day of the wedding. Our photographer truly had vision and an eye for setting up shots that made us look good! We are so very happy with our wedding photos from this company- we definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful experience with Bella. The two photographers (I forgot their names since we did not meet until our wedding day) who were assigned to our wedding were very friendly and had lots of creative ideas when shooting our romantic photos after the ceremony. From start to finish Bella were courteous, prompt answering emails and always very nice. Even though they are a large photography company, I don't feel like I received cookie-cutter style photos. My husband and I were very happy with our book. I highly recommend.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Reasonably priced, and hassle-free process. I just entered my wedding date information, and specifics I wanted to let the photographer they hand-picked for me know, and Bella Pictures did the rest! Pictures were high quality (not blurred or distorted). I even got to let them know what types of shots to get. Thank you to Bella Pictures for making my wedding day memorable for years to come!

I won a free wedding photography for the day and it is going to be great,!! check it out at www.bella.com

My brand new husband, Jon, and I couldn't be happier with Bella pictures. Yes, they are a little expensive, but YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. We decided right away that this was where we were going to splurge, and we're so glad we did!

From the beginning, Bella is wonderful to work with. Leanne met with us, IN PERSON--that never happens--and she helped us to pick a photography package that was right for us. She was with us from that point forward, keeping us on track with our planning and payments. I needed someone to help keep me on track, I'm busy! I'm sure you are too!

Probably the best thing Bella offers is matching you and your partner to a photographer that matches your photo style. It takes about ten minutes for you to both rate pictures on-line and what you like or don't like about them. Then Bella matches you with someone you will like that shoots those types of pictures.

It was no surprise when Jay, our photographer, was exactly what I needed on the wedding. He made me feel like a model who had done photo shoots 1000 times. He was always saying, "Wow that looks great", "Nice shot" "Gorgeous." He had a vision when he showed up, and the results were amazing.

We couldn't be happier with the pictures we got as a result of Bella, Leanne, and Jay's hard work. We are currently working on putting together our wedding book with a graphic designer! We can't wait to see the results.

If you're trying to make a decision, go for Bella. They are the A team and won't let you down!

When I started planning my wedding, after choosing the reception venue, the photographer was the most important decision to make. We live in the Detroit Metro area, so we had a lot of choices!
I honesly can't even remember how I discovered Bella, but once I saw their website and met with my photography consultant, I was beyond impressed. My now-husband and I both knew that the photographer was one of the most important aspects of our wedding day. We wanted to ensure that we would look back at our photos and remember every moment of our day. Bella has accomplished this for us.
Some of the best attributes that Bella has to offer is that you can change your mind as you go, and they offer a multitude of options. And I did change my mind...several times. They offer such a wide vareity of packages and products; something to fit any budget or dream!
My consultant, Jodi, was fabulous and even met with me again after the wedding to review my album choices and let me look at the sample albums just one more time. I am slightly nostalgic for the planning process, and actually miss working with her.
Our photographer was amazing. I must admit that I was a little nervous with the process of Bella selecting our photographer. We used the online selection guide and our photographer was absolutely amazing. He was the perfect blend for us. He set up some great shots, and captured the true moments of our day.
The online veiwing process was a little overwhelming at first. I think we had 1100 photos to view! But they were all categorized online, and it wasn't as daunting as I had feared.
The one thing I would suggest for improvements is the online viewing of the photos. I didn't think that the photos looked the best using the online site. I ended up uploading the pictures from our CD's onto my computer and viewing them that way. The picture quality was much better. We love that the package included the digital negatives and the rights to the photos.
Bella was amazing and I would recommend them to everyone!

A co-worker recommended these people after they did her wedding. Best advice I had the whole time I was planning. These people were more than photographers. They were like "Wedding Coaches" since they knew so much about weddings. It was a great experience.

Great place, they pictures looked great. I would definitely suggest anyone to do business with them again.

Our wedding pics are awesome. Great shots. You can't even see my bald spot in most of them. (haha)

Our wedding album is really nice. I like how good we look in every photo!

The pictures were great. We had a lot of different pose options and had a choice of many many shots to have printed out. Nice equipment, too.

The photographer assigned was fantastic and did everything and anything I asked of him with so much professionalism.

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

These people know weddings. They actually helped me get my thoughts organized as far as my reception itinerary goes. My photos are beautiful and the best thing to have to remember my wedding by. I would have paid a million dollars for these brilliant photos - luckily - I didn't have to.

This was a recommendation from our venue, we are very happy with our pictures!

GREAT vendor! My wedding was in Michigan, and my 2 photographers were wonderful. I got great prices on my package. If I would have hired either of my assigned photographers I would have paid double. The album is GORGEOUS and EVERYTHING I wanted!

Where do I begin? Bella Photography was awesome! They communicated throughout our wedding planning and thereafter! Our Bella photographer was such a professional and captured many priceless photos of our very special day. She was very descrete while photographing and very friendly. She traveled to my home for pre-bridal shots, then to our church for ceremony photos and then to our reception venue and captured all the important aspects of our very special day. Included are our own copyrighted photos that we can get copies of without any hassel! We were emailed the proofs approximately 28 days after our wedding and then sent discs of our photos in the mail. Included is also a beautiful wedding album and 2 "parent albums". This was truly a great investment for our memories of our special day! Excellent keepsake!

We had two photographers who were both very nice. The head photographer, Rachel Lea-Johnson, was *extremely* good -- not only did she take beautiful pictures, but you didn't really notice her at all. As such, everyone was very relaxed around her and she was able to take some very natural candids. She had a great knack for helping my bride relax during the many photos of the day. The associate photographer, Glenn Davies, also took nice photos, but wasn't as natural -- he was more noticable.

Ordering was nice -- I met with a sales person at a local Starbucks where she talked me through the different options and showed me samples of the albums, but the followup is via email and phone with someone at a national office -- there isn't any human contact after the initial sale. The contact person also changed twice, although with no loss of service and each contact person was very nice and professional. Their matching process involves picking out pictures that you like.

We were able to speak with the main photographer over the phone a few weeks before the wedding. We were somewhat concerned that we couldn't meet her before the wedding, but it worked out okay.

The pictures turned out great and the whole process is very smooth.

Bella was amazing from square one. They meet with you and get a taste or you style and then choose a photographer based on your own choices and taste. We were thrilled with the results and there were over 2000 pictures taken. We end up with the rights to all of the pictures so we can get whatever we want printed, whenever we want, wherever we want! It was very nice! Oh, and they also guarantee to have the pictures to you withing 28 days of the ceremony!

Bella Pictures are amazing. The website does no do justice to how good their pictures look. They are pricy but you will love their pictures. The deposit to hold your date is only 50 dollars so you have time to save money to pay 15 percent. The rest is broken up evenly among four payments with the last one due when you pick up your album. If you are reading this review, go to Bellapictures.com and fill out the form to meet with a photography consultant. Our consultant is Whitney and she is knowledgeable and very willing to help. You can look at the pictures but you won't be blown away until you see the pictures in perso.

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.

was lucky enough to be referred to Bella pictures through a very good girlfriend of mine. She raved about them since she booked them and after was elated with her wedding pictures. After viewing her pictures, I decided to book them immediately. Michelle, my wedding consultant, was on top of everything! She was there for me during the last 6 months to remind me of different things that I never would have remembered for my big day. I have really been impressed with the professionalism yet intimacy that Bella has provided me. My fiancé and I rated over one hundred pictures, which really helped us solidify and identify our style. Although we had an idea of what we liked, the rating system really helped us get some good ideas of what we loved and what we did not want. Shortly after rating the pictures, we were assigned our photographers. At that point, we were able to view their portfolios and history. Needless to we weren't disappointed! Our pictures turned out amazing! Both of our photographers captured our special day, better than I could have imagined it! If you decide to go with Bella, I definitely recommended Michelle. She's amazing

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!!!

Bella is great! We were so impressed from the get-go with their albums, photographs, and the pleasant and knowledgeable demeanor of our consultant! They offer a variety of album styles to fit the couple's needs- anything from traditional to artsy. We are somewhere in between and are very excited with the samples we've seen so far. We know our wedding day will be perfect, as you fill out an online profile of photos you want taken, etc. for your photographer- in addition to the initial consult. Bella has several package options for any budget and they often have promotions going on where you can upgrade your package option to the next level. I'm really glad we chose Bella!

The photos are beautiful! Our coordinator was very helpful in informing and assisting us to pick out a package that suits our needs. Absolutely happy that we went with Bella.

After meeting with a representative from Bella Pictures and looking at prices, books, sample of photographers work, and approach to pictures, I really like Bella Pictures and would recommend them to my friends. They are located throughout the U.S. The consultation is free and about one hour. To book your date it is $50 refundable deposit for 30 days, after that it is paid in 3 installments. The photographers take an artistic approach in combination to the traditional pictures based on what you want.

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!

I would like to share my experience with viewers re Bella Photography. I would first like to say at the Chateau Busche' Bella Pictures has numerous pictures around the banquet hall that are absolutely stunning.
I called Bella Pictures and met an amazing consultant name Michelle Lewis-Kapp. We met at my convenience at a cafe and we talked and talked and talked as if we were old girlfriends catching up. Michelle is very patient and knows how to put things together for you.
Unfortunately, I have a medical condition that does not allow me to work and Michelle was extremely sympathetic to my time as well as my physical condition.
She generally took her time as she went through all the features Bella has to offer. Her feedback as I was deciding what photography and videography option I was interested in was phenomenal.
Michelle knows pictures! She captures every word of what you mention to help find the best package for you! She makes it all about you and what pictures are best for you; no standard, this option fits your budget, more of this is "your" magical day and this would best fit you.
Michelle's customer relations skills are exceptional. She would follow-up with emails and phone calls with such care and concern.
As most of you know, some consultants can be very pushy and demanding. At Bella, I've found the consultants to be very professional and treat you as an individual.
Michelle I don't know how I could have made it this far without you. You are a remarkable woman. You give so much of yourself and I hope Bella Pictures knows what a gem you are. Your patience, knowledge of the packages as well as your compassion are immeasurable. You are an inspiration.
To that end, Hats off to Michelle Lewis-Kapp!!!!!!
I would recommend Bella to every bride who is looking for magnificent pictures as well as great costumer service.
I rate Bella Pictures and Michelle as a FIVE-STAR TEAM!
Thank you.

As all brides know, finding the right photographer is one of the most important and daunting tasks while planning their wedding. Right out of the gate I knew Bella would be the right fit for me. Michelle Lewis-Kapp, my consultant, set up our first appointment at a location closest to me (most photographers make you come to them) and spent over two hours walking us through all of our options and their process. We were able to ask all of our questions upfront and she was incredibly straightforward with us. Once we chose our ideal package, she emailed it to me within the hour so that I could review it in full with my fiancé. In order to match us with the perfect photographer, Michelle set up our own personal account where we could review hundreds of photos and flag the ones that we liked the best. Using that information they paired us with our engagement photographer. Michelle went above and beyond the call by arranging our photoshoot to be out of state at our college campus where my fiancé and I first met. Our photographer, Mike Krukowski, was friendly and pleasant to work with. He really seemed to love what he was doing which made working together so easy. We received our photos on a DVD a few weeks later so that we could share them with our family. They turned out great! Most importantly we received the digital rights at no cost which is difficult to negotiate with other vendors without additional fees. On a side note, Michelle has been nothing but helpful and dedicated. I have a terminally ill family member who I had to visit which meant cancelling my photoshoot. Usually with short notice there are rescheduling fees. Not only did Michelle make sure that I didn’t need to pay those fees but she also found a photographer who understood my situation and was willing to reschedule as often as needed as I took care of my family. I highly recommend Michelle and Bella Photography!

Bella's customer service was so wonderful!!!!!!!!!! They always got back to me If I needed anything!!!!!!!!! Leanne L was so wonderful!!!!!!!!!! Her presentation was why Marc and I choose Bella! Rebecca H and Eddie F were so great as well!!!!! I am still working with Eddie, he has been so helpful and informative!!!!!! Our photographer Irene K was brilliant!!!!!!!!! She took some eye watering photos!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be recommending Bella to everyone I know who decides to get married in the future!!!!!!!!!! I want to use Irene in the future!!!!!!! I can not stress enough how talented she is!!!!!!!!!!

We had a wonderful experience with Bella! Everything went smoothly from the start. We first met with Suny, our Photographer Consultant, and she helped us pick out the right photography package for our needs. Suny was excellent. After meeting with her we had no doubt that we were going to hire Bella to do our pictures. She was so sweet and really took the time to answer all of our questions and concerns.
Shortly after finalizing our photography package with Suny, I received an email stating that Joanna was our assigned Photography Planner. Joanna was wonderful. I emailed her countless times and every response I received was delightful. Joanna's responses were timely and thorough. Joanna would email me to check in and also to keep me up-to-date with the photography planning process. Four months before my wedding, Joanna emailed me with our Photographers information. We reviewed her portfolio and agreed that she was a perfect fit for our needs. I spoke with Jackie, our Photographer, on the phone 2 weeks before the wedding and she was great- we were completely on the same page. We met Jackie on our wedding day, but it felt like we had known her for years. She was amazing and such a sweetheart! She had so many great ideas for pictures and was completely open to suggestions. Our families and everyone in the bridal party could not get over how easy she was to work with. We wanted a fun and relaxed day and thanks to Jackie and the Bella team we were able to have just that!
We received our pictures about 3 weeks after our wedding and they are incredible. There isn't one picture that we do not like. All of our family and friends are so impressed with the pictures. Our only problem is that there are so many good ones that it is difficult to narrow it down for our album!!! Thank you Bella!!

I loved working with Bella Pictures for my wedding. They were very helpful throughout the process and matched us up with a great photographer- Chris Barth. He was easy to work with and our photos were done in the style we had wanted.

Bella Pictures was always prompt with returning emails and even replaced our prints that were damaged in the mail very promptly and with no hassels. I thought the album making process was very easy and user friendly, and my album was actually shipped within weeks of me accepting the final draft. I wasn't expecting my album for atleast another 2 months. The album quality and clarity is amazing. We had so many photos to choose from that it was hard to narrow them down for my album!

Our wedding was based out of Northwest NJ, and I would highly recommend Bella Pictures to anyone.

I am currently working with Michelle from Bella Pictures she is a great consaltant. I highly recommend Bella pictures for your photofraphy and videography needs. My experience with Bella pictures has been so positive and also alot of fun. My fianace and I loved our engagement session and the pictures turned out beautifully. Again I HIGHLY recommend Bella Pictures for your photography and videography needs. You will be very pleased as I am.

I am from England and chose to get married in New York, so I literally had to choose my vendors by surfing the net and hope that they would be ok. I found Bella Pictures and loved the photographs that they displayed within their website. Everything appeared genuine so I booked them for my weeding. Their proffesionalism/expertise throughout the whole service was absolutely fantastic. The photographer didn't miss a thing and was just perfect. The album has just been shipped to the UK and neither I, nor my family and friends have ever seen such a unique and beautiful wedding album. I 100% recommend Bella Pictures to anyone looking for a photography package that is definately value for money.

I had a great experience with Bella. They were one of my favorite vendors to work with, from the account manager, to the photographer, to the album designer, they all took very good care of me.

We choose Bella because they had everything we wanted in one package. I am very detailed oriented and so their contract and process worked great for me.

I did not meet the photography until the day of this is true. But i spoke to him before hand, google'd for his other work and VERY HAPPY with the match. His style and demeanor were fantastic. He had great ideas and just made the day so much more enjoyable. EVERYONE at the wedding thought he was fabulous and our pictures prove it!

We also had a very good experience with the album services, yes it does take awhile, but I knew that and was very determined to get everything done by December. I didn't make this deadline, primarily because I used all three revisions of my photo album. Once again, I was VERY specific with my album and found that they followed my instructions exactly. I did use all three rounds of revisions but that was primarily because I kept changing my mind on which pictures I really loved (there were so many).

When we gave the parent album to my parents they said without prompting "It's like we just relived the wedding again!" Both of our parents LOVE the album. And his brothers and sisters are truly jealous of how great the pictures and albums turned out. Of the 8 weddings his family has hosted, our pictures are far and away the best.

Bella was truly one of my favorite vendors to work with. A lot of vendors I dealt with made a great first impression but grew increasingly harder to deal with, try to force their views of weddings on us, and paid less and less attention to us. With Bella, there are quite a few people responsible for your account and each one tries their best. I think if you are the organized bride looking for quality, Bella will be a good match for you.

(Richmond,VA)Bella is great! They are different and give you what you want. They seem to care more about what the bride and groom want out of their day which is what is the most important aspect of the wedding! Bella allows you to create your memories around what you want NOT what your photographer wants. I would recommend them to anyone! I have to admit I was skeptical after some of these reviews but after reading on most of them were from people who did NOT even use Bella so they would not know how great they are. They people who actually used Bella have wonderful things to say about them! Bella keep doing a wonderful job! My pictures are great!

I can not imagine having to chose a photographer any other way than the way Bella matched us up with ours. Bella assessed our photography style and then determined which photographer would be the best fit.... we were amazed with how well everything turned out...I loved my photographer! If you are looking for awesome photos at an affordable price! Check out bella! you will not be disappointed. Phil and i are very happy!

As mother of the bride I have been very impressed with the work Bella has done for us before, during and after my daughter’s wedding. Bella was careful to assign the right photographer to my daughter, changing the person until they got it right. And it was right! The day of the wedding the photographer spent so much time with Kristy that it was essential that they got along well. The bride and groom enjoyed their day, were very relaxed during the photo sessions, and were able to enjoy the ceremony and the reception without being distracted by the photographer. We especially appreciate the way Bella works, giving us access to the digital pictures shortly after the wedding. And we love the website which allows our friends to view the pictures. Our consultant, Selina, was very helpful and professional. She got back to us promptly whenever we had questions, she listened carefully to our concerns, and she took time to help us with our specific needs. Our photographer did a beautiful blend of artsy and traditional photos, as well as a photojournalistic style, so we have the whole day chronicled. Everyone has raved about her photography. She captured personalities, special events, as well as décor and details. Our hope was to find someone who would give us the digital pictures after the wedding, but maintain the highly professional services we were looking for. We are grateful to have found Bella and highly recommend them.

I am a make-up artist Heather Coopersmith of For Reel Make-up. I wanted to say that I think that Bella Pictures is one of the best in the business. Her photos stand out and her disposition is equally as lovely. I have had the pleasure of working with Bella Pictures on a couple of weddings and I can always count on some amazing photos for my website!!

IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A STREE FREE EXPERIENCE WITH CHOOSING A PHOTOGRAHER GO WITH BELLA PICTURES. I HAD SUCH A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND WAS SO HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING.

Bella Photography has been great so far. Our wedding is next year and our photography consultant, Leanne Lamusga, has made the process SO easy. She checks in with us to see how everything is going and if there's anything she can do to make the process easier. We've already had our engagement photo session and a free photo shoot at their open house and the actual photographers were great. Ben and Nathan made sure that we were comfortable and gave us pointers on how to make our wedding day go smoothly. We're very excited for the big day to come, and I am not worried in the least bit that everything will run smoothly thanks to Bella.

What can I say about Bella pctures.....they were absolutely amazing! From the first time I met with my coordinator, all the way until I was able to review my pictures online (only 3 weeks after the event) they were amazing. My coordinator and my photographer were just so easy to work with and both complimented my style perfectly. I love how I was matched with a photographer whose style of pictures is what I am into (we were so insync she showed up to shoot my wedding in a shirt that I have as well, lol). The outcome is I have 550 pictures of the best day of my life and they are all usable, they are all gorgeous. I cannot wait until I get my album, but for now I can go on my wedding website and view all the "perfect" pictures. I would recomend Bella to any new bride.

I loved Bella as the photography vendor. Our rep, Selina, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the company's procedures and pricing. I loved that my fiance and I were able to keep the copies of the engagement photos that were taken. Our engagement photographer was extremely friendly and innovative. We are very happy with the job Bella has done so far.

I found Bella Pictures while searching online for a great photography company for an affordable price. Their website posted free consultations, and a chance to win a photography package, where they pick winners every month! After meeting with Selina, and finding out about their packages and pricing, my fiance and I were sure we wanted them to cover our wedding. Selina has been extremely sweet, attentive, and helpful--she is always available to us! We also received a complimentary portrait session with our package!! Our complimentary photo session, though brief, was lots of fun. Our photographer for that day was very professional and really helped us to relax and feel comfortable in front of the camera. Another great perk about Bella Pics is they have a unique matching process that allows them to select a photographer that suits your style!
For any bride and groom-to-be, having full access to your digitive negatives is a plus and Bella Pics definitely allows you this option. I would definitely recommend Bella to anyone on a budget!

We have chosen Bella Pictures as our photographer for our wedding. We just finished our couple's portrait session. I am excited to see the photos. Leanne Lamusga is our consultant and she has been wonderful. She has kept in touch and been available for questions when we needed her. I look forward to working with them on the day of the wedding. Thanks for all of your hard work so far.

Choosing a photographer to capture this memory is a tough choice, however as soon as I spoke with Selina our contact, I was extremely confidant with Bella and knew that this would be one less thing to worry about . Selina was very interested in our wedding and planning. I am sure that the photos will turn out great! I am very pleased with the service.

When my fiance and I started looking into a photographer for our wedding I wanted a good photographer that would take quality pictures. After my engagement photos I realized that I got a GREAT photographer and a very personalized service. My fiance hates to take pictures and Bella was able to relax him and we got great photos (ones my fiance actually likes). My contact at Bella is extremely helpful and very interested in making sure my wedding is everything I want. I am extremely satisfied with the service and the quality of Bella.

My wife, fiance at the time, and I were impressed with Bella and our consultant Michelle Lewis-Kapp from the very beginning. We were running late and Michelle's last appointment of the day and she took time to explain the whole process, showed us many pictures, and made us feel as though we were the most important clients she had even though we were just looking and had explained that to her from the beginning. The process of matching us with a photographer(Kimberly Jackson) went smoothly and the pictures of the wedding turned out great! There are several things my wife and I may have done a little differently after going through the whole wedding process but choosing Bella is a decision we are very happy we made and would not change a thing. The professionalism we saw at the start with Michelle continued throughout the entire process.

Bella pictures did a great job taking our wedding photographs. Our photographer was Anh Tran, he was fantastic. Even though we only had one photographer, the photos taken by Anh made it look as if we had more than one. Anh was all over the wedding and reception taking pictures. When we received email notification from Bella that our photos were online and ready for review when immediately went online to see them. We were so amazed at some of the photos he actually took. They were so clear and taken from a very artistic perspective. Needless to say we are having a very difficult time selecting the photos for our wedding album because there are so many great shots to choose from. We are very happy with the services provided by Bella and Ahn Tran. Our guests are enjoying look at the photos online and they too are amazed at the shots taken by Ahn. We will be able to enjoy the memories of our wedding for years to come because of the outstanding job Anh did taking the photos.Steve & Tina Dawson

From the beginning Bella was very professional. They gave me all of the info I needed and more. I had a direct contact that I could call or email and always returned within 24 hours. I recieved several compliments on the photographer. He was kind, caring, professional, and did an excellent job blending in with everyone. I ended up with 1262 pictures taken in a 6 hour time frame! And best of all, the pictures came out great!

Bella Pictures is an awesome company and we are so pleased with their services. The photography consultants are all super friendly and helpful. I felt like I was talking to one of my friends! They chose the best photographer for us that really matched our style! Our photographer, Brad Gellman, was fantastic! He made our day perfect and we now have the pictures to prove it! Bella sent us all of our photos, put photos on a website for everyone to see, and sent us a photo montage! They are professional, stylish, and really captured our wedding day. I would highly recommend their services to anyone!

Allowed quarterly payments, which was great. Quality of the photographer and final product was fantastic. They were great to work with.

My husband and I were married August 14, 2009, and we chose Bella to film and tape our special day. We are still waiting for video footage, but the pictures turned out awesome. Like our Bella coordinator Michelle Lewis-Kapp said, "These are the only items that will be kept in good condition from the special day." Yes, pricing is a little high, but they are an awesome team. Six hours before the wedding was to begin, our original photographer had a death in the family. Someone else was given the assignment immediately, and Michelle called me right away to let me know what was going on, and reassured me that our new photographer would do a fantastic job. Someone from the corporate was also following up right after she called to make sure I was comfortable and in the loop. All questions and concerns were immediately answered anytime we had any either via email or phone. We never felt like they didn't have our best interests at heart. The replacement photographer Monty was excellent. Obviously professional and totally experienced, I never felt uncomfortable because he was a male. He knew what a bride wanted, and made sure that every shot was great. Our videographer was Mark, and he was very courteous. After everything got started, I didn't see these gentlemen very much during the festivities. They had to be there, because we have pictures, but they are definitely seen and not heard. I can't remember them at all during the wedding, but there are plenty of shots from the front and sides. This is a company that sticks to their word. We hadn't heard anything about them prior to searching for photographers, but they do a wonderful job, and I whole heartedly recommend them if your budget allows. Expensive, but worth it if you plan to value your memories for years to come like we do.

At first I wasn't sure what to expect from a big company like Bella but I was very impressed with how well they worked with me and how amazingly smooth it all went. I was very pleased by how well I photographer did and how stunning the pictures he took were!

We were extremely impressed with this photographer and would certainly use them again. The pictures turned out amazing, and we are an extremely unphotogenic couple. I have absolutely no complaints about them.

Our photographer was very flexible and willing to go with the flow. She made sure she took all the pictures I wanted to be taken, and throughout the night never seemed to take a break--I think she captured every little and big moment throughout the day. She did photojournalism as well and i didn't even realize she was taking pictures! She was wonderful!

Wow wow wow just AMAZING PEOPLE and Service. My guests loved the pictures, I loved the pictures, my husband definetly loved the pictures and I can't wait to start my family and have them photograph that too!

We loved both of our photographers, we are very happy with the results!

AWESOME vendor for the price!

When my fiance and I were searching for photographers, we really took into acccount other couples' reviews and experiences. For us, photography was not one of the areas in which we were trying to cut costs. These pictures are meant to last a lifetime! I really appreciated the approach that Bella takes in trying to match you up with the perfect photographer. We met with Michelle Lewis-Kapp first, who went over what we were looking for for our wedding, the pictures that were important to us, how the day was going to go, etc. From there, we went to Bella's planning site and looked through a ton of photos and ranked each one based on how we liked them. So, based on our talk with Michelle and our rankning of photos, we were matched up with a photographer. And it turned out to be a perfect match! Ken Carl was the perfect blend of traditional and photojournalistic style that Dan and I were looking for. Plus he was great to work with! We can't say enough great things about Ken Carl and Bella. Our pictures look fabulous and we are currently working on our album.

Great pictures!

Did a great job. Very professional.

Bella Pictures is a very nice company. They are innovative and creative adding professionalism to their bag. We were very pleased with their services. The photography consultants are friendly and helpful. Our photographer Brad Gellman, did a fantastic job. We have lovely pictures to cherish our memories. I would highly recommend their services to anyone!

One of my favorite vendors. They were very personable. I loved the fact we were able to get exactly what we want from dealing with the photographers, the style of photography and I liked how we were able to get CDs with our pictures. It was so worth the money.

Wonderful service, if you like the journalistic style of pictures, they are for you!

It was great working with bella. They are very professional by the way they have great album layouts.

We had the best wedding and the photos truly convey that. I have told many that using Bella Pictures is like the dating service match.com. We as the bride and groom gave our specifics and what we are looking for in our wedding photos and Bella matched us with the perfect photographer. I met with our Bella consultant and she wanted to get a feel of what we were looking for in our wedding day and what photographer style we were more drawn to. Our consultant wanted to know who we were to match us with the right photographer. I can not convey how much we loved the whole photographer process of using Bella. Before booking with Bella I had shopped around for photographers and truthfully other photo packages were too pricey but Bella was affordable and we were able to do payment plans prior to the wedding. We were married in September of 2009 and we have all of our prints and photo album. We loved using Bella and I recommend every bride to at least make an appointment with a Bella consultant because you will not be sorry.

The photographs for our wedding were extremely important to us so we were very picky when it came to choosing who would help us capture the moments we wanted to hold onto forever.Our relationship with Bella began with meeting our Photography Consultant, Michelle Lewis-Kapp, in person. After meeting with a slew of wedding vendors with varying degrees of professionalism we were extremely pleased with the presentation and professionalism that Michells provided. We asked a lot of questions and she took her time to explain all of the packages to us so that we could make the right decision for us. We walked away from our meeting feeling that Michelle would take care of us extremely well. After we met Michelle we were sent a link to a website where we could rate photographs from other weddings in the effort for us to choose which photographers would work best for what we wanted. We thought this was a lot better than just looking at a photographers portfolio and picking them as we weren't sure which photographers photographs we were looking at, only whether we liked them or not. Kind of like a blind ballot based on expertise, it was actually a lot of fun.After rating the photos online we were matched with Jay Crihfield as our main photographer and we were blown away by the photos we found online that he had done. After rating all of those photos previously it looked like our photographers expertise was exactly what we were hoping for. We had two photographers so at a later time we were also matched with Matthew Staley as our 'ghost/floating' photographer and we were excited about what our wedding pictures would turn out like. Throughout this entire process Michelle kept in contact with us to let us know what was going on and to make sure we were happy with everything....and we were.We also had our wedding videography with Bella and we were matched with Al Kohout, who had an extensive collection of beautiful wedding videos. Our wedding day started out with Jay and Matthew taking 'prep' pictures of us in our seperate rooms with our bridal party. There were some 'portrait' pictures as well as some 'spontaneous' pictures and it was a lot of fun for everyone.Honestly, we don't remember seeing the videographer or photographers at the wedding since we were so focused on each other but based on the photos we've seen, apparently they were taking beautiful pictures everywhere during the ceremony. Every 'once in a lifetime' moment was caught by the photogs, along with a lot of cute, spontaneous pictures of us and our guests before and during the ceremony. We were excited when we planned to have our post-wedding ceremony pictures taken at the Morton Arboretum with all of the beautiful Fall colors but on the day of our wedding....it rained. Jay Crihfield hopped into action and made the best of a tough situation by taking countless pictures in unique situations/poses and they all turned out better than we could ever imagined. At our wedding reception Jay and Matthew didn't let up on their performance as they came up with one beautiful shot after another. Jay took time to get all the 'required' family photos that every family seems to want at weddings where all the relatives are in attendance, so we were very appreciative of that, as well. By the time the photographers and videographer left, we felt like they more than earned their money.After we got back from our Honeymoon we received a link from Bella with our photographs on it and we were ecstatic with the results. We've shown all of our friends and family and, when they aren't brought to tears, they highly compliment the pictures.Bella is expensive but you get what you pay for. Classy, professional and timeless memories caught through the camera lens were what we were looking for and we were able to get that and more. Michelle Lewis-Kapp was a tremendous amount of help throughout the entire process so we not only encourage prospective couples to use Bella Photography, but to also request Michelle as their consultant.

I was lucky enough to be referred to Bella pictures through a very good girlfriend of mine. She raved about them since she booked them and after was elated with her wedding pictures. After viewing her pictures, I decided to book them immediately. So far my experience has been great. Michelle, my wedding consultant, is on top of everything! She has been there for me during these last 6 months to remind me of different things that I never would have remembered for my big day. I have really been impressed with the professionalism yet intimacy that Bella has provided me. My fiance and I rated over one hundred pictures, which really helped us solidify and identify our style. Although we had an idea of what we liked, the rating system really helped us get some good ideas of what we loved and what we did not want. Shortly after rating the pictures, we were assigned our photographers. At that point, we were able to view their portfolios and history. Needless to say, I'm so excited to work with both of them! If you decide to go with Bella, I definitely recommended Michelle Lewis-Kapp. She's amazing.

Everything went so perfect!! All the hard work paid off.. so thank you with helping, it all turn out so great! From start to finish, the service was superb!! Everything Bella Pictures said they could do and would do was exactly what we received, plus more! If you're looking for stress free photography service.. you will get stress-free :) Ron Griggs, you were and are an awesome photographer!! Very nice and just so easy to work with and talk to. We were very pleased to have been matched up with you. We appreciated how Ron was flexible and willing to go with the flow. He listened to our wants and need but also had really helpful suggestions making everything fit together even better than we could have wanted. Ron never seemed to take a break making make sure he captured every little and big moment throughout the night. It was crazy how most of the time we didn't even realize he was taking pictures, but he gave us a sneak peak of a few shots - really cool! Even though we only had one photographer, I can only guess the photos taken by Ron will seem as though we had more than one. We cannot wait for the end result!!All the Bella staff members we 'met' along the way are definitely professional and responsive. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking for a photographer.Thanks a million to help make our special night even more special.Take care,Danielle and Casey Roche(Traveled from MI to Walnut Creek, CA for our wedding)

Very friendly, and helpful staff. Wonderful attention to detail.

AMAZING!!!! Our photographer Kathleen was such a professional and wonderful to work with. It is very apparent that Kathleen is very expereinced and good at what she does....we were very pleased with her. She came 30 minutes early and was so personable and just wonderful to work with....we cannot wait for the end result!!

all 'A' Plusses as did a great job and wonderful help in arrangements and set up too

Bella pictures did a great job taking our wedding photographs. We got all of the rights to all of the pictures on CDs. We were matched with a great photographer and I would recommend them to anyone!

I wasn't sure what to expect with a big company like Bella but I have been so pleased with every step along the way. Our representative, Jennifer, has been so helpful with all my questions, has checked in with us regularly, and did an awesome job of matching us with our photographer. Our photographer was the hardest working person at our wedding and we have stunning photos to prove it! And we love that we get to keep all of the digital images.

Bella was great (and still is). They maintained wonderful communication with us in order to provide us with exactly what we were looking for. Our pictures are beatiful and modern just like we wanted. Our photographer was wonderful and fit our style perfectly. We never saw someone work as hard as him. We haven't ordered our album yet (we are procrastinators) but we got our digital proofs back so fast!

I haven't seen my pictures yet but the experience so far has been great. Very helpful representatives and I always felt they had everything covered and were very efficient. I can't wait to see the photos!

Bella Pictures was such a great company to work with for our wedding photography. We also had our engagement session w/ them and could not be happier w/ the photographers we were matched w/. Although their packages seem quite "pricey" it is definitely worth it. Plus you really get more than what you paid! The pictures all turned out exquisite and have gotten many compliments from friends and family. We highly recommend using Bella for your wedding photography

I think Bella Pictures did an amazing job with my wedding! From day one, they were so responsive! The first initial meeting getting to know how they work and the work that they produce to the way that we are matched with a photographer that does the types of photos we are looking for and matches our style. Everyone we met was very knowledgeable and was able to help with whatever questions we had.The photos from the wedding were ready to view in one month. Which could not make me happier since every bride cannot wait to see photos. The process of designing the album was quick and easy also, we choose photos, they came up with a draft (we loved the first one) and it was in production. Once I got my album, I could not be more excited. It looks amazing and the quality is great. We chose to get two smaller books of our album for our parents. They love them and look just as good as our album!I would highly recommend using Bella Pictures. It is a great company and you will be extremely pleased!

Our photos are amazing! Professional and fun. A pleasant part of the day. All our friends are envious of our wedding album.

They were AMAZING!!!There was no time limit.We all love it.They hung out with us the whole day.they had really good ideas and the pictures turned out wornderfully. I would definately recommend them to any bride.

It was very expensive but well worth the money. My only suggestion to any new bride is to make sure you give someone (wedding helper or friend) a list of "must-takes" and not to make that list too long. You don't want to have your photographer depending on you to make every decision about who is in every photo - you have enough stress that day, you don't need to add to it. My photos came out amazing. And he was not intrusive at after we took our "must takes". Good luck!

Responded to questions thoroughly and quickly, were very professional, kind, talented photography, received the copyright to all of the photographs so we can make our own copies.

We were told time and time again that the most important investment is your wedding photographer. We used that advice and we hired Bella Pictures which we were told by many people were the best of the best and THEY ARE!!!! If I can give any advice to brides about to get married, it is to MAKE SURE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER IS ONE OF THE BEST BECAUSE YOUR PICTURES WILL BE THE ONLY OFFICIAL MEMORIES YOU HAVE! Bella is well worth their price tag and we are grateful for the wonderful service and fantastic photography they provided. A+

Bella Pictures would be the best because of their better quality pictures and their high level of professionalism. Would recommend to all my friends.

Our photos were so perfect. Breathtaking shots and really nice people to work with. Our photos were better than any I have ever seen in the area. We got so lucky booking them and would not change a thing.

Bella pictures was absolutely wonderful. My husband and I are not picture people however they made the process so easy. We were able to adjust our package to fit our needs and they matched us with the perfect photographer. We were able to pick the schedule for the photographer and were able to adjust all of our needs. It was amazing and our pictures turned out great.

Oh my god when we got our pictures from Bella's we were SO impressed! We didn't know what to expect, but for what we paid for they really did a great job. Would recommend them anytime!

They were amazing! They did such a great job at our wedding and the pictures were stunning. Becky did such a great job organizing our wedding. She did an amazing job and so did the people who were assigned to our wedding. The photographers were very friendly and understanding. Overall, they did a great job and would use them again for any event to ensure a great job.

Bella Picture pictures were fabulous and worth the money we put in. We were looking for the best photographer because we wanted to make sure we could keep these pictures for a lifetime and ended up choosing bella pictures. Great service, and outstanding quality.

The photographs came out beautiful, and I really think they will bring back memories 50 years from now. For wedding pictures, out of all the different places we went we thought Bella Pictures would be the best because of their better quality pictures and their high level of professionalism. Would recommend to all my friends.

We love the video. They really helped to capture the moment. Highly recommend.

The pictures came out great, and we were both impressed. Was well worth the money we put in, great service and quality.

they were great to work with, especially since we were planning our wedding from a different city than where it was going to take place. The photographer was fantastic! he even showed us some sneek peeks at the photos he'd taken throughout the day at our reception.

This experience has been the most professional, creative and attentive out of all of my vendors. The photographer called two weeks ahead of the wedding and we talked at length about what we wanted. Then the wedding day, we drew on his creative nature and that made it even more unique.The videographer came on his own time to view the ceremony/reception sites. He spent 4 hours prior to the rehersal taking lighting readings and setting up. On the day of the wedding he was very professional and curtious, making sure that he would be completely out of the way of any guest and the photographer.Overall a wonderful experience!

The photographs that we got from Bella Pictures turned out perfect, and we couldnt have asked for anything better. Great price for quality, and very easy to arrange with Bella Pictures.

They were AMAZING!!!There was no time limit.We all loved it.They hung out with us the whole day and they had really good ideas and the pictures turned out wonderfully. I would definitely recommend them to any bride !!!

The wedding photos are the one lasting thing after the wedding... all the food, drinks, flowers, entertainment are gone, the photos have permanence. We could not have been happier with our choice of Freed Photography.After your wedding, all that you have left are your memories, pictures, and video - hiring Bella Pictures was one of the best decisions we made!

Though I have not put together our album yet i can say that Bella has been wonderful so far. We got the most for our money here and the photographer Pico was wonderful. We had him as our engagement session photographer and requested him to do our wedding which Bella agreed to. Our sales representative was so wonderful she is the reason that we went with Bella in the first place. She always checked in to see how our wedding planning was coming along and made everything easy for us. She has since left but her replacement was also sweet. The pictures could not be better i am so happy with how it all turned out.

I was really excited about booking Bella Pictures. Although the price was a little high, i'm happy we went here.

i love their pictures.i love their pictures.i love their pictures.

Our photographer Amanda was very knowledgeable and took over 200 photos.

We had the pleasure of working with Bella Pictures and the photographer we were paired up with, Jenn, was wonderful!!!!!!! She listened to all my requests and went beyond my expectations!!!! My guests are still commenting on how great Jenn was!!!! I highly recommend Bella Pictures!!!!

We LOVE Bella Castly Photography!!!Photography was the one wedding service I really cared about getting right, and Jane & Al were absolutely amazing from our engagement photos in Santa Barbara to our wedding at the Woodranch Country Club. They were very responsive and flexible, and their photography was gorgeous. They got all the shots we wanted plus more. To top off a beautiful wedding their prices were very reasonable.

Wedding photography can be a very personal thing. Many may possess technical shooting skills but one can only hope to find a wedding photographer to deliver that special something on your big day. I found that something special in Bella Pictures! Thanks for the wonderful experience.

Bella was the ideal photography company for our wedding on July 24th. The were able to build the perfect package for us that included our photographer, the website for picture posting, an album and picture purchase credits as well. Their website allows you to look through hundreds of pictures and rate how well you like the picture and then matches a photographer with the style of picture that you prefer based on your ratings! I loved that! Our photographer, Garret Davis, was so easy to work with and we are so anxious to see our pictures!!
