Bella Photography

I highly recommend Bella photography to use for your wedding photos!!  My fiance and I have really enjoyed working with them.  Lisa Bowman is our photography consultant at Bella and she been absolutely wonderful!!  She is always so friendly and helpful!  Over the past few months she has really taken the time to work with us and our budget and because of that we were able to sign with Bella for our wedding photography!  We have experienced wonderful customer service with Lisa!  She is always so quick to respond and is always very thorough when explaining the photography details.  We couldn’t be happier about our decision to use Bella for our wedding photography!

    glad they are working well for you. they screwed my friend over after wanting to charge her two months from her wedding to meet face bo face before her wedding and then they didn't show up for her wedding. this is not her but a very similar story http://tinyurl.com/y9dbta7 sometimes you may luck out with a good photographer but there is that risk.

    Yeah, this is vendor spam. Various "brides" post the same recommendation over on the photography board all the time.

    I went online to enter the contest and ended up getting about 5 phone calls a day for over a week from them- HUGE turnoff!

    I actually am currently using Bella and have had a great experience and results so far. The free engagement session (promotion) was outstanding and with great turn-around time. They were not overly pushy but answered my emails and questions very quickly. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me!

    after they harrassed me to no end, i looked them up online and found out that they are really just a temp agency for photographers starting out and yes they have had some good photographers out of the hundreds they go through, there are write ups about them detailing how they do mess up wedding days by not showing up and in a google search it shows that they pay the photographer a couple hundred dollars. i would NOT play russian roulette with them on your wedding day.

    Why don't they ever post who actually WINS the contests that they are constantly running. I doubt anyone wins. For what they charge, I would not be happy with an inexperienced photog.

    I am currently working with Michelle from Bella Pictures, she is such a great person to work with. They are very professional and willing to help with everything they can. My fiance and I currently had our engagement photos and are so pleased with how they turned out. I would definitely recommend Bella Pictures for your photography and videography needs. I am also very pleased with Bella, and I have posted my favorite engagement photo on my profile. We are every excited for the wedding and are happy with our decision to use Bella!

    bella is horrible.  Stay away.  I hired them for my wedding and although the photographer was a wonderful person, and tried hard... he wasn't creative and he gave us shots that were out of focus, grainy, over exposed and just plain boring.  I asked for photojournalistic/artsy.  They gave me traditional.  When I complained I got the run around.
