    Book your destination wedding with be all inclusive!

    I cannot recommend BAI enough! They made planning our destination wedding so easy and stress-free. From coordinating guest travel to answering countless questions, they went above and beyond every step of the way. Our wedding week was absolutely perfect, and a huge part of that was knowing we had such an amazing team handling the details. We are so grateful for all of their hard work and support in making our dream wedding come true!

    Book with them ASAP!!!

    James and his Be All Team were absolutely incredible to work with. As a bride planning a destination wedding, that immediately comes with so many questions, all that which James and his team were able to answer with kindness and professionalism. They helped us get great rates for our room block, helped communicate with the resort wedding team and were SO responsive. Seriously, I'd hear back from them within an hour, if that, of reaching out. I highly, highly, recommend this company. They were incredible!

    Using BAI Is a No Brainer! Best Choice Ever!

    I can’t say enough amazing things about BAI and the experience we had working with them, especially James, while planning our wedding at Secrets Akumal.

    Before connecting with James, I spoke with a few other agents and honestly felt so rushed. I was being pushed to pick resorts I had never even heard of, and the calls were always quick and overwhelming. It just didn’t feel right. Then a friend reminded me that James had planned another friend’s wedding, and I immediately thought, “Oh my gosh, James!”

    From the very first call, everything changed. My husband and I had a two hour Zoom meeting with him where we were able to walk through everything, what we wanted in a wedding, the experience for our guests, and the price point we were comfortable with. He truly listened. After that, he sent us five thoughtfully selected resort options to explore, which made the process feel manageable and personalized.

    We ultimately chose Secrets Akumal, and it was absolutely the most perfect place for our wedding. It exceeded every expectation and that is all because of James's recommendation.

    James and the BAI team supported us every step of the way, from helping build our wedding website to making sure our guests had everything they needed. So many of our guests commented on how easy the process was and how great it was to work with the team whenever they had questions. BAI was always quick to respond to emails and incredibly helpful throughout.

    I 10000% recommend BAI. It truly is the only choice. I honestly wish we could plan our wedding all over again just to work with them again. It was such an incredible experience, and I owe so much to their team for making our dream wedding a reality. Thank you James!

    Dream wedding come true!

    James and his team were wonderful experience were wonderful to work with. They did a great job from start to finish and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free.

    They showed us some excellent resort options within our guests' budget that could accommodate guests with mobility issues, and even went the extra mile by reaching out directly to resort teams to confirm details and request specific accommodations.

    They were also extremely responsive throughout, always quick to answer questions and keep things moving. We’re very grateful for their help and would absolutely recommend them to other couples!

    Thank you for making our dream wedding a reality, BAI!

    Rossi Wedding Review

    My wife and I could not have had a better experience working with Be All Inclusive for our destination wedding. From the very beginning, everything was handled perfectly. They even helped arrange a trip for us ahead of time so we could visit the resort and make sure everything was exactly what we envisioned for our big day.

    Throughout the entire planning process, James and his team were incredibly responsive and patient. We had hundreds of questions along the way, and they were always quick to answer and made sure every detail was covered so we could feel confident going into the wedding.

    We ended up having around 100 guests attend our destination wedding in Mexico, which is pretty unheard of, but everything went flawlessly. The resort, the staff on site, the travel coordination—everything exceeded our expectations and made the whole experience completely stress-free for us and our guests.

    We trust James and his team so much that we’ve already had friends book their own trips through them after our experience. If you’re planning a destination wedding or trip, I would absolutely recommend Be All Inclusive without hesitation.

    Best company

    I am SO glad I used Be All Inclusive for helping my guests and I with my destination wedding at Dreams Playa Mujeres! I honestly was so overwhelmed from the beginning stages of planning a destination wedding and didn't know where to start, but James walked me through everything from choosing the right resort, securing the room block and making sure everything went smooth from there on out. Rachel & Nacho at customer service were incredible each step of the way, dealing with all of our guests, their bookings, and answering all their questions to get things figured out very quickly! We were also surprised with upgraded transportation from the airport! I would recommend this company to any future bride planning a destination wedding!! It would not have been as successful without their help!

    Invaluable Partners

    James and his team at BAI took care of all the room block details, from initial negotiations to renegotiating when our guest caught lower prices. They're responsive, easy to work with and were invaluable partners. It's great that their services are free for those having a wedding in Cancun. One less thing to worry about in your budget and to-do list! Would absolutely recommend to other couples.

    Great Overall Experience!

    James and his team really took note of all our requests and communicated with us every step of the way. They found us a Cancun resort that was in our price range and feasible for our guests.

    I wish I could do it again!

    We used BAI for our destination wedding in 2022. James and his team were remarkable. Due to the Covid chaos, navigating travel and tickets and cancellations. We had guests from all over the US. We felt so comfortable with the choices of resorts, recommendations and advice they had given us. Everytime I hear someone is engaged I push for a destination wedding so I can just get the chance to work with BAI again!!

    This is the one!

    It’s been almost 5 years since my destination wedding in DR. From the moment we had our initial consultation with James, everything went smoothly. I had guests that had never been out of the country before and even they told me that BAI was very helpful with booking and promptly answered their questions. The experience was so seamless that I worked with them again for my mom’s birthday trip. I loved my wedding and would recommend BAI to any bride.

    Best in the destination business!

    We had such a great experience working with the BAI team for our destination wedding. They helped us choose the perfect resort and assisted our guests with hotel bookings, which made the entire process so easy and stress-free. Everything felt incredibly smooth from start to finish, and their organization and attention to detail made a huge difference. We’re so grateful for their guidance and support in making our wedding experience seamless!

    BAI Bride in Mexico

    My husband and I used Be All Inclusive as our travel agent for our destination wedding in Mexico, November of 2025. James and his team were a huge help from the start of planning until we all made it home safely. We were unsure of where we wanted to get married or if a destination wedding was even possible. James and his team found resorts that met our needs and helped us ultimately decide which resort was the one for us. I did not have to do any coordinating between the resort and guests for booking or travel accommodations. If my guests had a question about anything travel related the BAI team took care of it. It was the best decision to use BAI.

    Best Decision Ever!!!

    From the moment we met James, the owner of Be All Inclusive, we knew we wanted to work with him for our destination wedding. From the very beginning, he and his team were incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding vision come to life.

    Planning a destination wedding can feel overwhelming, but James made the entire process an absolute dream. He helped us choose the perfect resort that fit exactly what we were looking for, and he seamlessly coordinated all of the logistics—from organizing our room blocks to assisting our guests with travel and accommodations.

    What really stood out was how effortless he made everything feel. Every question was answered quickly, every detail was handled professionally, and we always felt supported throughout the entire planning process.

    If you are considering a destination wedding, I cannot recommend Be All Inclusive enough. James and his team truly go above and beyond, and we are so grateful we chose them to help plan such an important moment in our lives.

    THE best! 10/10

    It’s been over a year since our destination wedding and I still think about how amazing Be All Inclusive was to work with. From start to finish, their team made the entire process so easy and stress-free. They were incredibly responsive, organized, and went above and beyond to help both us and our guests throughout the planning process. Our wedding would not have been the same without them. I highly recommend Be All Inclusive to anyone planning a destination wedding!! They are truly the best 🤍

    So helpful - great communication!

    James and his team were so great throughout the whole wedding planning process! I emailed him millions of times and he always got back to me so quickly. He was very reliable and I always felt comfortable going to him for help. My wedding certainly wasn't an easy one - James dealt with guests not giving him their flight information, not paying on time, etc. but he talked to me about the issues as they came up and we were able to easily resolve them. I also had some guests cancel the day I arrived at my destination, which caused some problems with some perks. However, James worked with the resort and everyone came to an agreement, which I was SO THANKFUL for! If he didn't go above and beyond to make my dream wedding become a reality, it would not have been anything like it was. He really worked hard to make sure my husband and I got what we had been planning for. I am so thankful to James, Laurie, and the Be All Inclusive Team! I highly recommend them! :)

    The best in the business!

    We can't say enough positive things about James and the BAI team. Our wedding planning process began back in the middle of 2019, pre-pandemic - all was well. My wife and I were incredibly happy with BAI's quick, knowledgeable responses. It was instantly clear that James knew every resort like the back of his hand. He was able to dissect our every want and need which reiterated we chose the right resort for our destination wedding.

    As we got closer to our wedding, the pandemic was on the rise. James was calling/texting us daily with updates regarding the pandemic/travel in both the United State and Mexico. 5 days prior to our departure for our wedding in Mexico, the United States enforced the no travel rule - That was it, no wedding, just like that, in a blink of an eye. James was able to do something I was not, make my wife calm. James spent the next couple of days calling us with every update he had, ensuring both my wife and me that all would be okay in the end. He was empathetic, reassuring, and somehow optimistic. I say somehow optimistic because, in retrospect, we realized James didn't have to deal with JUST our wedding being cancelled/postponed, He had to deal with all of his client's weddings being postponed. He had to deal with his income being in jeopardy, He had to deal with the rollercoaster ride covid has us all on. However, he never once spoke a word of negativity - Throughout the process, it was always about getting us to our big day and making sure it was perfect.

    Which it was! It's been 10 days since our wedding in Mexico, My wife and I have had our time to look back on it and reflect. In the many decisions, we had to make along the way, pairing up with BAI was among the best. James always answered his phone in moments of doubt, always called/texted us to see how we were doing and even knew resort staff members by name - The relationship James and BAI has with so many resorts is unmatched. He even had little surprises planned along the way. The pandemic caused many misfortunes at just about the worst timing possible, but meeting and working with James and BAI over the last 2 years made us forget all the negative. We couldn't imagine it any other way and are pleased to have already booked our honeymoon through Be All Inclusive.

    THANK YOU JAMES AND THE BE ALL INCLUSIVE TEAM!

    James and Laurie Beagile Be All Inclusive are the BEST

    James B. is Phenomenal!
    His pictures not only captured everything we wanted for our daughter’s wedding but so much more. His knowledge of the location let him choose the perfect spot for our daughter’s vision of a once in a life-time first look pic as well as some long desired breath taking location pics she had dreamed about.
    The pictures played a huge part in what was very important to the planning of the wedding our daughter (she’s very picky, lol, true) She and us were ecstatic with joy in how James captured her exactly the way she wanted to look, absolutely beautiful! He nailed it capturing their sincere expressions of love and every special moment throughout the day. He did it with professionalism, style, politeness and the best positive attitude you will find.
    He never stopped the guest to take a picture, never interrupted the party to catch a shot. We know he was there because we have the pictures to prove it but looking at some of the many of the pics I don’t remember even seeing him. James got through our group shots so quickly that we were able to enjoy the entire day. Then in a very timely manner got our proofs to us. Thank you James for capturing our daughter’s wedding day in such an amazingly beautiful way! We will be forever grateful and cherish these photographs.

    If you're looking for an amazing destination wedding experience look no further

    From the very beginning, James and his team has made the entire destination wedding process a breeze! From response times to professionalism, knowledge and overall passion for their work - this team has it all. I searched around for a couple travel agents to execute our Riviera Maya wedding and after hearing so many horror stories, I am so thankful I left my special day up to this team! Planning a wedding, let alone one in a different country (AND during a pandemic), can be beyond stressful; however, working with James made the entire process seamless for myself and our group of 80! Five stars all around!!!

    You will not be disappointed!

    What an incredible experience. Really not sure where to begin. If you're thinking about a destination wedding, look no further. We met James through a referral, totally green to the destination wedding scene, we went through with the appointment and met up with James at a local Panera to discuss destination wedding details and travel info for our guests. James was well prepared. We didn't know where to start, what to ask or where to begin, but he had all of the info we needed. After meeting with James, it was clear, a destination wedding was in our future. He gave us the best recommendations and worked with us while we figured out which resort was best for our group. And, we were not disappointed and neither were our guests! 50 of our closest friends and family traveled to be apart of our day, and James made sure everything went exactly as planned with their travel. Most of our wedding party said we had the best wedding they've ever been too. It was all because of James and his team. James turned us on to Karisma Resorts which we decided on El Dorado Royale/Generations and settled on the Sky Deck for our venue. What an awesome experience for us and our guests! James is hands down THE best photographer! Our wedding pictures were amazing! We will end with this....There is a lot of planning that goes on with any wedding. Not just destination, of course. It was a fun experience with the wedding team from Lomas travel that James turned us on to. There was an entire year that went by from the time we met James until we landed in Mexico and let me say, it goes by so fast! Seriously, enjoy every moment! The whole experience! Your guests will have a blast, no question! But the best part of it all was how well James fits in with the entire family! All of our guests loved him and it was almost like he wasn't just the photographer/travel agent. It was almost like he's a long lost cousin, he fit in so well. And how fast it all went by, it was kinda sad to see it all end, because of the entire experience, as a whole, that James and team, set us up for from the beginning. At the end, the goodbye to James from Mexico seems like you're sending off a favorite relative. If you're on the fence about a destination wedding, please look no further. You're in great hands here and PLEASEEE, take everything in, enjoy the whole experience! It goes by SO FAST! You will not be disappointed with BEALLINCLUSIVE!!! You only get married once but we would do it again just for that experience!!

    Quick & Efficient!

    James at Be All Inclusive is wonderful. He is extremely responsive and helpful with any and all questions. I feel so relieved that he is our travel agent for our destination wedding. I am thankful to have found Be All Inclusive & work with them.

    The absolute best! Just use them!

    I guess my story starts in May 2018 when my fiancé and I had decided we wanted a destination wedding in Cancun! I had joined a few helpful Facebook pages, but the most helpful one was Cancun Brides. I had posted on the page that i felt so lost, and confused about the whole process and didn’t even know where to start! James is a member of the page (along with many other Travel Agents) and commented on my post. We immediately started talking via Facebook messenger and instantly I felt a connection between us. Within a few days we met via Skype and discussed MANY different resort options. He asked what my vision was for my wedding - I KNEW for a fact I didn’t want to get married on the beach because I HATE sand, so he immediately cut out a few resorts that didn't have great ceremony options for us. I was almost set on a resort, but had a budget in mind for how much i wanted my guests to spend- I had no idea how expensive it could be for my guests until I got to talking to James! I heard from friends and also read ALOT of posts in Cancun Brides about El Dorado Royale and how amazing it was.
    I was already scheduled to travel and stay in Cancun during June 2018, so James set up a site visit for us and we fell IN LOVE with El Dorado Royale. Once we got back from our site visit, James helped us immediately block off rooms for our wedding weekend! We ended up having close to 60 guests at our wedding on 06/21/2019! Planning a destination wedding from afar is HARD and having James and his team walk me through every step of it was a huge blessing. Every single person who traveled to my wedding and used Be All Inclusive only had great things to say about working with James.
    Since using Be All Inclusive, I’ve referred 2 friends to him to help plan their destination weddings and another friend to help plan her bachelorette party! I would have been absolutely lost without him and all of his help. He and his team are EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE in this business and i would highly, highly recommend using Be All Inclusive!!!

    Stress Free

    James and his team did an incredible job making our destination wedding experience truly perfect and exactly what we wanted. He handled our entire group of 41 people traveling to Jamaica and dealt with any issues that came up along the way, taking the stress off of us. I’ve never worked with a company that was SO responsive! James or someone on his team would respond within 24 hours, but usually they would respond within MINUTES. Not only was James and his team responsive surrounding our groups travel, he also went above and beyond when we hit a snag with the resorts responsiveness. He jumped right in, had our questions answered within the day and made us feel at ease. James was true to his word about price-matching. When someone in our group found a lower cost somewhere else, he immediately reached out to our resort to see if they could negotiate a new rate for the group. I cannot stress enough how easy this process was for us. If you’re considering a destination wedding, look no further than BE All Inclusive.

    Amazing Service!

    James and his team are true rock stars! While destination weddings are way less stressful than traditional weddings, it is still a wedding after all and the BAI team made it all so simple!! They negotiated amazing group rates for our whole party and everyone raved about how quick and helpful they were in the booking process. James and his team went above and beyond to help me communicate with the hotel and I can't thank them enough. They say they will answer you within 24 hours but there was not one time that the BAI team did not answer me within the hour! If you are planning a destination wedding or even considering it, THESE ARE YOUR PEOPLE! Would recommend over and over.

    Be All Inclusive was great to work with. Very helpful during all stages of the planning all the way through the return flights. They made our destination wedding easy. Definitely would recommend using them to others!

    The best!!

    James and the Be All Inclusive team were absolutely incredible to work with for my recent destination wedding in Playa del Carmen, MX. I honestly don’t know how we would have gotten through planning and arranging everything without their help during the process!

    James is seriously available all the time for anything...seriously he would answer emails within an hour and all of our guests had the same experience. Our guests had nothing but compliments about their experience working with them from booking the trip to making the trip down there...everything went smoothly!

    On top of that, James works closely with the resort I got married at (it’s a Karisma property) so he was familiar with the ins and outs of getting married there and was super helpful with the details and also was able to get me special perks for my wedding day and my trip! It was also great having him down at the resort for our trip on the off chance that something did happen as far as the resort or someone’s reservations once we arrived (this didn’t happen, but I’m a worrier!!) ...it made me feel really secure with the whole process.

    Lastly (and honestly most importantly), James is also an amazing photographer...he did the photography for my wedding and the pictures are amazing! I am so happy with how they came out!

    If you are lucky enough to get the chance to book James for your wedding as a travel agent and photographer, DO IT!! You will NOT regret it!!!

    Amazeballs

    James and the Be All Inclusive team were a dream to work with. We found Be All Inclusive on James’ Facebook page, El Dorado Weddings, and began chatting there. Once he explained his program, we Skyped with him (and his cat) to make sure that we wanted to work together and it was an immediate hit. James’ history as a political photographer sold us, because we wanted as many candid shots as possible so we didn’t have to pose a lot. The choice was easy. Over the course of the next 18-20 months, each and every time we had a question about travel, money, photography, El Dorado, Mexico or anything else related (and some not related) to the wedding, James was “James-on-the-spot.” He had all of the answers and was quick to reply which was impressive considering how busy he is.

    Our guests all had similar experiences. James made the travel plans for everyone super easy, especially the ones who don’t travel often (or ever). He was able to burden that workload so we didn’t have to for our guests, enhancing our experience 10 fold. He did such a good job that although we’ve never used a travel agent in the past, we will continue to use Be All Inclusive for our travel needs because of the level of confidence we have in them.

    Before we arrived in Mexico, James warned us that he would be somewhat paparazzi like during our trip. He photographed us and our party for 3 days, with both posed and candid shots. Going through the 1300+ pictures has been a task (because there are so many good ones to choose from), but there are so many that would not have been captured using another photographer. The pictures turned out even better than we expected, and we can’t wait to share them with our friends and family.

    We cannot say enough good things about James and Be All Inclusive except that we will forever use them when travelling and suggest you do the same!

    Incredible wedding experience

    First of all...I WAS NOT THE bride for this wedding but, I was one of the bridesmaids. Not only was James a phenomenal photographer but, the entire wedding and trip went so smooth. The bride (my cousin) Ashley kept saying how much she loved that James would just randomly tell them to stand places and get the most amazing shots. We were just going about the trip and BOOM perfect picture! Everything was so natural and genuine and the pictures were incredible. Obviously, the fact that the bride was so happy makes me happy. She just raved about how much she was looking forward to seeing the shots constantly. And they DID NOT disappoint! James is a true talent with a eye for the perfect settings. I know another family member has him booked for his wedding and I’ll hope to book him for mine in the future. Afterall, it’s a day you’ll only get to
    live once (hopefully) but, you’ll get to remember for the rest of your life. They are more than pictures...they are memories.

    Great Company

    James Berglie and Be All Inclusive booked our group for a friend’s destination wedding. The booking process was easy. James was extremely personable, easy to get in touch with and always quick to respond. It was the least stressful planning of any vacation I have had. Our friends were able to get their photography FREE since everyone booked through Be All Inclusive. The photographs I have seen thus far are absolutely stunning and REAL. I would highly recommend!

    Destination Wedding in Mexico

    This was the easiest vacation to plan. James Bergli with Be All Inclusive was the best! So professional and very approachable. James was the photographer at my daughters wedding in Mexico. His pictures are AWESOME!! He was so easy to work with and always answered my questions in a timely manner. I HIGHLY recommend Be All Inclusive and James Bergli.

    As soon as we met James, we knew we wanted him to be our wedding photographer. His true artistic vision was what captured our interest. He worked with us doing our engagement and wedding day, and truly makes it all about you. He went out of his way to become familiar with the property very quickly, and always kept his eye out for unique picture opportunities. His pricing was very fair, as he charged us a certain amount for our engagement photos but actually kept us for 25 more minutes without charging us more. He also has a really cool drone that he can bring out if the opportunity presents itself, and we got some awesome pictures of our entire venue with it. He is also a very accomplished travel agent, and we could not have had a better honeymoon due to his recommendation. We are thankful we chose James and we would highly recommend him to anyone!

    James Berglie is a photo genius. If you google best wedding photographers in MD, his name and business, BePhotography, consistently show up at the top over and over again – and he has his pricing right there on the website, which is fantastic! We love James. From the first time we met him, we knew he was our guy, and not only for our wedding, but also for our engagement photos (which he did amazing with!!) and our future baby photos and all our other photo needs (and travel needs, because he’s also an amazing travel agent – more on that later!). James listens and gets to know his customers through some upfront legwork, and then he fades into the background of your day and you completely forget he’s there while he capture amazing candids. He also did a great job with the staged photos as well, and I can’t wait to get those back from our wedding! James is very professional and really knows his stuff; he is able to anticipate shots and uses lighting to his advantage. He also is a travel agent, and set us up for our glorious honeymoon, and if you happen to be having a destination wedding, he’ll set up your destination and travel itinerary, and shoot your wedding for free! James is definitely the person you need to do your professional photos!

    We cannot say enough good things about James and BePhotography! James was the photographer at my cousins wedding, as well as, a wedding for my best friend for which I was the Maid of Honor. After seeing him in action a couple of times, I looked no further than asking him if he was available for our date and booked him right away before even looking into other photographers. James is not your average wedding photographer. He's reasonably priced, easy to contact throughout the process and leading up to the event, and one of the most hard-working individuals I have ever met. He loves his job, and it shows through his work! He was amazing at helping us coordinate things on the day of. He was literally EVERYWHERE on our wedding day, and is so incredibly talented at capturing candid photos in the moment. Our guests all noticed the amazing work that he did and we have many engaged friends asking for his information. He was having so much fun shooting our reception party, that he refused to leave until the very end! James is also a travel agent and offers discounted wedding albums if you book your honeymoon through him! We plan on using him for future travels as well. Beyond all of this, he takes the most incredible photos and we are SO glad that we chose James for our big day! We highly recommend booking James for your big day as well, you will not regret it!

    James is a rare find, I knew right away after one email and one conversation via google chat that I was so lucky to have found him! We used his travel agency to book our decent sized destination wedding in Mexico and received FREE photography! Yes FREE there is NO catch!! James really goes above and beyond!
    Our group had nothing but good things to say about him as well! James is professional, personable, polished, and so quick to respond!

    Our resort choice was really important to us and he nailed it!
    James helped us narrow it down so easily, again because he knows his stuff!! Take his advice , he truly means it. (Choose Karisma resorts) you will not be disappointed!:)

    Okay the PHOTOGRAPHY though!!!!
    As for me this was the MOST important thing to me for our wedding! I can’t even put into words how beautiful the photos are! Honestly I almost had to call off work when I got them back because I couldn’t stop looking at them! We are so happy with them! He seriously captured everything and made not only us but our entire group feel so comfortable during all of it! He even got up extra early the morning after the wedding to take the most beautiful sunrise photos with us!

    All I can say is you can tell how much James loves what he does.
    And we loved what he did! He truly looks out for everyone’s best interest which made planning so smooth for us from start to finish. If you want to work with someone who is knowledgeable, experienced and the best of the best then book with Bephotography and Beallinclusive !

    We are looking forward to working with him again as I’m certain there will be another destination wedding in our family!!

    James goes above and beyond the call of duty! He is so professional and helpful in all ways and he made our destination wedding better than I could have ever dreamed. For the travel side of our destination wedding, he was always packed full of information and helpful tips to make all of mine, my husband and our 50 wedding guest's travels to the Dominican seamless and stress-free. He was always just an email or phone call away during the planning process to answer literally ANY question with such detail, kindness, and timeliness. Even when I had destination wedding planning questions that only a resort guru would be able to answer, he was there to happily give me as much information and advice from his personal experiences as he could. During the process, he doesn't make you just feel like another couple getting married, he makes you feel special and important which is so nice.
    Now for photography...he blew us away! James captured any and all moments that could have possibly been captured. So many of our wedding guests even mentioned to my husband and I how amazed they were at how many pictures James was taking throughout the weekend and of course how awesome he is as a person. He never missed a beat and was working from the time we landed in the Dominican until the day he stepped back onto the plane to go home. He is passionate about what he does and it shines through his personality and his work. I could not have asked for anything more from him and the experience was even better than I thought it would be...oh and did I mention the free photography perk that you can get from booking your guests?! It happened to us and I still can't wrap my head around it lol

    Be Photography was amazing. I love all of my pictures and can not stop looking at them. James was super professional and so easy to work with. He was quick to respond to all emails and calls. He showed up early and stayed late. He has a calm confident way, which put me at ease the whole day. I was so impressed how he captured every moment from every angle without being noticed. I really don't know how he did it. He was quick with finalizing the pictures and provided me with so many great shots. I would recommend Be Photography to anyone.

    Highly recommended! James is very professional, creative and easy to work with. We started with more “posed” shots after our first look but for our ceremony and reception he captured the moments as they happened naturally. We are so happy we found him and have pictures to reminisce on forever.

    We got over 1300 pictures back from James 5 weeks after our wedding. We are in love with them and have gotten so many compliments! Besides my feet hurting during out shoot (which is my fault for wearing unreasonable tall heels) the picture process was perfect for this not-photogenic bride. James posed me a little bit, but mostly just gave me instructions of what do to and took pictures as I did them. It was the best way to get pictures of me in my opinion because it didn't give me a chance to overthink my pose. I also used him for our engagement pictures and those were amazing also!

    Working with Be Photography and Be All Inclusive for my wedding was a true pleasure! My husband and I planned our wedding in Montego Bay, Jamaica and with the help of James, it went off without a problem. We used both services (travel as well as photography) and received great discounts all around. James worked diligently to find us the best rate for what we were looking for. We traveled with approximately 20 people and all of our guests were happy with the service received from Be All Inclusive. Because we used Be All Inclusive for our travel (and our guests travel) we received a huge discount on our wedding photography. Our pictures were beautiful and James takes his time to ensure he gets every shot! I would definitely recommend for all brides!

    James photographed our daughter's wedding in July 2017. He was very informative and promptly answered all emails prior to the event. On the wedding day, James moved about quietly capturing everyone and everything. We received numerous compliments stating James was both professional and friendly. The online photos were delivered within a couple of weeks and are spectacular. Narrowing down which ones will be selected for framing or the album will be very difficult! Thank you James for your assistance and making our day so carefree and wonderful!!!

    James was so great to work with on our wedding day! He was very flexible with last minute changes to our contract like additional hours, requesting a second shooter, etc. On the day of, he and the second shooter (Chuck - also amazing to work with!) arrived a bit early and got straight to work. James is so efficient with getting the pictures he wants without making you feel rushed at all. He gave us great directions with posing, made sure we got the pictures we wanted, and kept everything running on time (difficult to do with a wedding party of 13!). At our reception, several of our guests commented that he was really in the mix of things taking pictures and they couldn't wait to see the professional pics! He manages to be unobtrusive while still taking in all the action going on that day. He also was just a really pleasant guy who kept us laughing and not stressed out on what can be a really stressful day! We HIGHLY recommend James for your wedding day!!

    I used James as my destination wedding photographer and travel agent for my wedding in Riviera Maya Mexico in April 2017. He did a great job! The pictures turned out great and there were so many to choose from! He was also patient and responsive to all of my 1,000+ emails! The best part is, because I used him for travel, I paid $0 for my pictures! I highly recommend James!

    James was so great! From the beginning, he was very responsive and communicative with us in coordinating our wedding day pictures. He was also very flexible with us too and allowed us to meet with him the day prior to our wedding to get photos of my fiance and my stepson prior to our wedding day. It was very special. And what a great job that he did in catching our wedding day with family and friends. Our friends and family LOVED the photos!!! My husband and I are now working on a wedding book and it is so difficult as there are so many great pics. Not a bad spot to be in. Thank you James for capturing our special day with pictures that will last a lifetime! You rock!!! :) :) :)

    HIRE JAMES!! That would be the first step of advice I would give any bride - seriously. His professionalism is top-notch, his personality will put you (and every guest at your wedding!) at ease, and the creativity & quality of his work is far beyond compare!! James did our engagement shoot and our wedding. Our engagement pictures were taken in June and we received our online gallery in 4 weeks. Our wedding was in December and our online gallery was available in just 2 weeks!! Our engagement shoot was seamless and truly captured our love perfectly. Many friends and family members commented on how much they could see our personalities and love for each other in the photos. I truly think James is able to capture so much emotion, because he DOESN'T make you stop and pose. He gives you a few simple directions (only when needed) and allows wait time for the moments to happen on their own. Somehow, James was even more perfect at our wedding. Countless (no joke!) wedding guests commented on how professional and talented he was... and a few have since asked me for his contact information for their own weddings. It's amazing how James is able to capture EVERY moment from start to finish, without EVER getting in the way. Not a single guest was asked to stop and smile, no one was pulled away from their conversations or the dance floor... and somehow we have pictures of darn near every single guest. The candids are priceless and we will enjoy our photos for years to come. Thank you, James!! You are a gem!!

    James is an absolutely fabulous choice for your wedding! We were married 10/15/2016 at the Vandiver Inn, and he arrived promptly and helped us achieve the photos of our dreams! I honestly do not know if the man ate or took a break the entire time he was with us, from before the ceremony to the final dance. I received my photos within the time frame he specified, and they are GORGEOUS. I honestly cannot stop looking at them! The quality is absolutely amazing, there are some shots that I wonder where he even was to get it! He was absolutely worth every penny. Very easy to work with and responsive to emails, as well!

    James was referred to us by a friend, and after looking at her wedding photos I knew why she recommended him! James was really responsive and easy to work with. We knew right away when we met with him that he would be a great photographer for our wedding. We love that he tries to capture moments, and he really did a great job for our wedding. The shots from our ceremony and reception are so great, and we look so comfortable and happy! He also does not hide the pricing from you, which is great and hard to find in a wedding vendor. My mom (like a mom) was concerned after the wedding that there wouldn't be a lot of pictures because she said she barely saw James, but it was because he is so good at blending in and capturing shots. You barely notice he's there, so people are more willing to let loose and be themselves! We highly recommend!

    James was absolutely amazing from start to finish! He made my husband and I feel so comfortable during our wedding shots and was so knowledgeable about our venue, lighting, etc. We hardly knew he was there! We couldn't have asked for more beautiful pictures of our wedding. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

    BE Photography was great. The photographer was there when we needed him, and did a great job of blending into the event to capture those candid shots. Something that sets BE Photography apart from the competition is that all the wedding photos in high-resolution are provided. No paying per photo or needing to buy more, no extra or hidden fees. BE takes the shots, you get them all.

    I would highly recommend James - I am so unbelievably happy with our pictures. Not only was James extremely professional and accommodating but he was very laid back and we barely knew he was there.....he was a ninja! We never felt pushed or overwhelmed throughout the night. If he want a stress free day and amazing results, then I'd recommend James by far. So, so happy!

    James (Be Photography) was the perfect choice for our wedding. Check out his work, it speaks for itself. James was able to capture every important moment of our day and then some. He has an eye to see the beauty in your surroundings and a gift to use those surroundings to make the most amazing shots. James was "right there" anytime we needed him yet we never felt overwhelmed or really even knew he was near. If you are looking for someone who is professional, fun, flexible and talented to cover your special day, look no further then Be Photography

    To say that we had a great experience working with James Berglie (Be Photography) would be an understatement. From the time that we reached out to James as a potential wedding photographer, he was prompt, polite and informative about his services and his motto: “Capture. Don’t create” (Which we love!) His philosophy on shooting mostly candid photos rather than planning excessive amounts of posed shots immediately caught our attention. As soon as our Facetime meeting with James was done, we knew that he was our guy. After months of phone conversations/emails, we finally got to meet James in person in Annapolis for our engagement shoot (which James happily agreed to do two days before our wedding). We had so much fun walking around Annapolis and the Naval Academy getting our photos done. James made us feel so comfortable, despite how sweaty we were from such a humid day! He even stayed with us later than agreed to because we were getting such great shots and having so much fun. We were blown away by how gorgeous the pictures came out. Fast forward (two days later!) to our wedding day - James showed up thirty minutes early and was ready to go. He communicated with us throughout it all and was excited the whole time, even staying several extra hours to capture shots we never would have gotten without him! The photos are unbelievably beautiful – we are still in awe with how perfect they came out. The reception photos amazingly captured the fun mood of the evening; our family members and friends cannot stop talking about how much they love the photos. They remember James by name because he made such a good impression on them with his outgoing personality and superior talent! We can definitively say that James was the vendor and friend that we will always remember. We truly had the best time working with him, and his talents speak for themselves in the beautiful photos he took that we will cherish forever. We cannot recommend James enough!!!

    We had James (Be Photography) photograph our wedding, and he was phenomenal. At our request, he came to a park about 20 minutes away from the venue well beforehand, got there in advance, before us, to pick good places to shoot, and you could tell he really knew what he was doing with every shot. It didn't hurt that the weather was beautiful, and he really made the most of it all.

    He then took amazing shots at the ceremony, and then the reception. He probably took thousands of photos, and then picked the best to give to us, which meant we still got hundreds of amazing photos. He was very flexible with the amount of time we asked him for - we had him stay a few more hours, but he was willing to make that decision mid-way through the reception, with no issue.

    I highly recommend his photography and service - there is no doubt in my mind that if I were to choose again, I would make the same choice. Both my wife and I agree. We are very happy to have several large (and small) prints of the photos hung up on the walls around the house, and there are plenty more to choose from for the future.

    I can never say enough good things about James (BE Photography)! He showed up over an hour early and captured shots that I hadn't even planned for., which was amazing! I didn't Pinterest or have any ideas of any pictures and he did such an amazing job. He was like an acrobatic ninja- no one knew he was there but he was everywhere! You would have thought I had four photographers. He gives you all the pictures without watermarks so you can print out as many as you like! He was so kind, and did not even care when I got bossy about not having family waste my time when we were taking pictures. I don't think he ever sat down or ate or even had a glass of water. He captured everything. The sunset pictures were unreal. He is very upfront about pricing too, which was so helpful as we paid for our own wedding. James was amazing to work with and I cannot imagine anyone else could do such a tremendous job!

    Booking James was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding! He was absolutely wonderful and easy to work with, making the process of taking pictures comfortable and natural looking. James was quick and efficient the day of the wedding so my husband and I got to enjoy our day rather than spending time taking pictures. The pictures we received are absolutely beautiful and some of the best quality wedding photos I have seen, we will cherish them for years to come. We also used James to plan our honeymoon, he made the process from planning to booking to traveling easy and took care of all the details. I would recommend James at BePhotography to everyone!

    We can't say enough great things about James and Be Photography. James was extremely flexible, courteous, and professional. Something that stood out to us about James was his photo-journalism background. We did a first look before our wedding, and embarrassingly I (the groom) had misplaced my suit and did not have it in my possession until around 2:15p (I was supposed to be ready by 1:30p). Well, James didn't skip a beat. He was able to work around this issue, got some shots of the bride getting ready and bridesmaids getting ready, and even had time to come back to me before our first look! We squeezed tons of shots in before the wedding (of the bride and groom), and then we were able to capture the rest of the shots of family and groomsmen during the cocktail hour. Aside from a mini-shoot we did during the reception, James was like a ghost, capturing all the photos without even being seen. Several times while doing shoots, he would assure us that if there were any combos or pictures we wanted that he hadn't explicitly set up, we could ask him. We felt so comfortable working with James, we weren't rushed or pushed around even a LITTLE bit. James has a way of getting what needs to get done done, without being pushy or rude. He had great chemistry with the other vendors (We got married at the Vandiver Inn), which was very important to us. Everyone worked together to make a great night. I could rant forever about James, but the bottom line is that his business is top notch, his attitude is professional and courteous, and he has a great sense of humor and was able to laugh with us through any mishaps or jokes. We will DEFINITELY book James again for future events.

    I can't say enough good things about James Berglie with Be Photography. We got married May 6th at Secrets Akumal, Riviera Maya. My ONLY regret was not using James' Be Vacations for our travel planning! I came across Be Photography when I saw another wedding photographed at the same resort a few months prior and instantly fell in love with his work. The resort offered a photographer through their wedding package, however, from what I saw felt it was not what I was looking for. However, I felt limited in options since it was Mexico and I assumed we couldn't afford to fly someone down from the U.S. With less than 3 months to the wedding and an already tight budget, I sent an email to James. He immediately responded, set up a conference call to walk me through his portfolios and process, and answered all my questions. I knew I would regret not going with someone I trusted to capture our special day, so I signed up with Be Photography! James arrived a few days before the wedding to get some pre-shots out of the way, and also captured our rehearsal dinner. He was professional, friendly, and FUN! Even our guests had a good time with him! His philosophy is "Capture. Don't Create" and I love that. He captured so many candid photos that really bring out a lot of emotions from the day, start to finish, from tears, to nervousness, to happiness-- he got it all. One of the special things he offers for destination weddings is a 'sunrise photo shoot'. After a long night of partying, we weren't sure how we would feel about this, and getting up at 5:30am for the sunrise was quite the challenge. But the photos he captured turned out to be SO worth it! For one of the shots, he even jumped in the pool with his equipment to get just the right image! He also had really fast turnaround of our photos, and he sent us a TON of photos! I love everything he sent us, and everyone who has viewed them has nothing but great things to say. I highly recommend Be Photography!

    We highly recommend James and Be Photography/Be Vacations! Our destination wedding was spectacular. James helped to book all our wedding guests and the pictures were AMAZING! He was great with handling all the travel details and bookings for our friends and family. At the resort he scouted out the best locations for shots and took full advantage the beautiful setting. We did several photography shoots and have phenomenal pictures that captured such a special celebration and time for our family!

    James was an amazing photographer to work with for our wedding. The pictures he took are spectacular and we've gotten so many comments back from family and friends about how great the photos are. He was up front about prices (they're on his website) before we even told him about our venue which you don't see with a lot of photographers. He was straight forward about his procedures and his plan for our wedding. He also got so many candid shots of people; he's not there to interupt your day or pull you to the side for a million pictures. He has a talent for being at the right place at the right time, he'll just pop in and pop out and all you see are a million flashes of the pictures he's taking. Highly recommend James, you'd be a fool to pass up on him!

    Just returned from my destination wedding where I utilized James as both my photographer and travel agent. He did a stand-up job in both roles! He helped coordinate travel for over 30 of my guests and everyone was really pleased with his service. He even spent 1.5 hours the day before the wedding modifying travel plans for some of my last minute guests. I am waiting to get the photos back but if they look anything like how hard he worked on our wedding day, I will be elated! I barely noticed James the entire ceremony and reception. I happened to look over one time and noticed he was on the ground in the sand capturing what I am sure will be an amazing shot. Definitely was not one of those intrusive photographers that blocks everyones view trying to get a shot. He was so professional and just as he says, when you use him as a travel agent your photography service winds up being free! Can't beat that deal! Will definitely be referring him to future couples and travelers.

    James is an absolutely fabulous photographer. Our wedding photographs turned out amazing! In fact, they were flawless. James is amazing at what he does and he loves to do, which is why people get such a wonderful product in the end. To add to his resume, he is a great travel agent, too. James was able to help us book the wedding of our dreams at El Dorado Royale in Riviera Maya, Mexico. He was able to manage our destination wedding needs as a couple as well as our guests' needs. We had 48 people come with us. Everyone was very happy with his services. On a side note, travel insurance is very important. It can cover costs like canceled flights, layovers, etc. Ask him for details! He was able to match price or find the best deals as well as accommodate people's wishes and needs at the resort. Who gets that travel agent to come with them and help too? You do if you book him as your photographer and travel agent. The best part about James is that he is able to offer a couple many different price packages and deals when you book him as your photographer and travel agent. As a couple, you will not regret choosing James as your photographer and/or photographer/travel agent for a destination wedding. He is the best!!!

    James did an amazing job photographing our downtown Baltimore wedding in November. He's extremely laid back and easy to work with. He didn't pressure us into any packages with extras we didn't want or need and his rates were very up front and reasonable.
    We initially didn't book an engagement session but could easily decide to do that later down the road, which we did- he meets you during the week an hour before sunset at the location of your choice.
    He's very creative and has an artistic eye and loves to play with lighting. We got some truly amazing photos.
    You can download all the photos digitally to your computer and then print where ever you want, which made it easy for our families who are both live out of town to easily access the photos.
    I would highly recommend him to any couple.

    James runs a phenomenal business. He is extremely easy to work with, very responsive, and just as importantly, his photographs are truly spectacular! We hired James for both our engagement shoot and wedding, and thanks to him, our home is filled with beautiful and unique photos – his use of light and architecture is stunning! We were thrilled with both the posed photos as well as the candids, which together truly capture all the happiness, love, and FUN of the day! We also booked our honeymoon in Antigua through James; another easy & smooth process! My husband and I highly recommend hiring James – you will not be disappointed.

    We could not be happier with our decision to have Be Photography photograph our wedding. James was amazing to work with! He not only captured so many amazing moments but he did so without forcing his way into those moments. James was also there to lend a hand when I needed something, like out of my heels! Be Photography goes above and beyond and without a doubt, I will happily recommend James to all future brides/grooms!!

    My husband and I were so so happy with our wedding photos from James! They look beautiful and I loved his ability to get some really great candid shots. He was so professional and easy to work with. He was really good at managing time, especially making sure we had enough time to take photos at multiple locations between the ceremony and reception.

    James really captured what we wanted and was able to document our special day without us feeling like we had to stop and pose for photos. I would highly recommend James to anyone for their wedding.

    James was professional, flexible, and beyond creative. We didn't have a single photo that we disliked. Everything was beautiful and he made my wedding day stress free and made sure that my husband and I were the main focus and what ever we wanted he made sure it was taken care of. I felt at ease on my big day and I was beyond happy with all of the photos.
    After our photos were posted I had numerous friends from media text or message me asking about James and wanting his contact information for their weddings. I didn't have to say a word about him his work speaks for itself. He is a funny, creative photographer who truly has a passion for his work and it shows in all of the photos.

    I cannot speak more highly of James. He had photographed our friend’s wedding a few months before we got engaged, and we were very impressed by his work -- especially given his rates! Other photographers of his quality were definitely out of our price range. But a bigger factor for us was his desire to capture moments rather than create them. My (now) husband and I didn’t want to spend hours taking posed photos at our wedding. We wanted to enjoy the party! James made it his goal to capture great photographs while letting us enjoy the festivities, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results!

    Also, James is a pro with a great personality too. He arrived early and was willing to as late as we needed him. He was able to put us at ease without missing a beat and captured every detail without being obtrusive or in the way. I’d recommend him to any friend or family in the area! (Though he does have great deals on destination weddings too!)

    James was our photographer when my husband and I got married in 2012. We used James for both our engagement photos and for our wedding and he was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! He is very knowledgable and open to different couples styles and tastes. He is also willing to go anywhere and try anything making him very flexible! He is unbelievably talented in photography and you can clearly see this when looking at his pictures. We absolutely loved our pictures and are so thankful we found James. We look back on our pictures and love them just as much now as we did then. We highly recommend James!

    James Berglie is the most amazing photographer. He captured my wedding day like no other photography I have ever seen. My husband and I as well as our family and friends are thrilled with our photos. James not only captured our Special Day but he also set up our entire honeymoon. We didn't have to worry about finding a fabulous resort or finding plane tickets. We told James we wanted to go to St.Maarteen and rent a car so we could travel the island on our own and he set up all of that for us. With all of the time planning a wedding it helped so much to have James set up our honeymoon. He even sent us champagne and chocolate dipped fruit to our honeymoon suite!!! Amazing is the word I will use to describe James Berglie.

    James captured our day beautifully. Our wedding was at the Vandiver Inn in Havre de Grace, MD. His familiarity with the area really added to our experience - some great shots we never would have expected. He told us to trust him - we did and it was sooo worth it!
    Working with James was so easy. He's very professional with a casual style that put us and our guests at ease. We spent minimal time getting the posed family shots (which is all we wanted) and then James' photojournalism went to work! Amazing shots of our friends and family having an amazing time! We relive the moment every time we look at our photos.
    James is top notch! You won't be disappointed!

    James is an absolutely fantastic photographer and as an added bonus he can book your honeymoon too! My husband and I met James when he was the photographer at one of our friend's weddings and thought he was extremely professional and had such a great personality that we decided we wanted him as our photographer even before our friends got their pictures back, then when we saw what an amazing job he did with their pictures, it solidified the deal. From beginning to end James was extremely easy to get in touch with and communicate with and he is always open to new ideas and really working with you to personalize all of your experiences. On your wedding day it might seem a little weird that someone is following you around taking pictures of you like you are some sort of celebrity, but with James it was a if we were accompanied by someone we had known for a long time. Getting our pictures taken was one of the best parts of our wedding because we had so many great laughs and told lots of stories. What I truly couldn't believe was that James even hung around after the wedding to help us clean up and carrying things to the car. Overall, having James as your photographer is worth every cent and you will not be disappointed with the results. In addition, James worked with my husband to plan a great honeymoon and he even had a little surprised sent to our room while we were there! Quick! Don't let this one get away, book him for your wedding now before it is too late!

    Working with Be Photography was so amazing, James made everything easy and stress free! James was so helpful and understanding and was very comforting while taking pictures the day of our wedding. I felt like he wasn't even there but we have so many awesome photos from all parts of our day/night. I highly recommend Be Photography for everyone!

    James is amazing!!!! When my now husband and I got engaged, I got to work convincing him that we needed engagement pictures. After searching endlessly for the perfect photographer, we found Be Photography. James was immediately warm, welcoming, and accommodating. He listened to our vision, met us at our desired location, and made our vision a reality. (Our shoot location was 45 minutes from his base location, and after driving all the way to our location, we realized it was a bit too cloudy to give us the effect we were looking for. Without any hesitation, James offered to reschedule, make the drive all over again, and do the shoot on a better day- we were blown away by this. Everyone comments on these photos-they're amazing!) When it came time to plan the wedding, we wondered if James would make the trip to Cape May, NJ, since he is stationed in MD. After realizing he travels the world to shoot weddings, we knew this would not be a problem. James captured the most amazing photos stretching the course of our entire wedding day. He is professional, yet makes you feel extremely comfortable. Although I always imagined posing for the perfect photos, James theory of "Capture, don't create" has yielded our favorite photos from both our engagement and wedding day photos. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for your wedding day-easily one of our best choices!!!

    James is truly an amazing photographer!!! I'm sure I will post another review after our wedding, but my fiancé and I were so delighted with how our engagement photos turned out that I felt I should post a review now. From the very beginning, James has been super responsive and fun to work with, and he was also very flexible with a day-of cancellation due to weather. On our rescheduled date we had so much fun shooting around Baltimore and felt very comfortable posing for James and also allowing him to capture candids. His turnaround time was fantastic, and not long after, my fiancé and I were ohhh'ing and ahhh'ing at all our pictures - and there were a lot! His photos are truly beautiful, creative, and unique. Our friends and families were extremely impressed. I definitely recommend hiring James......oh, and he booked our honeymoon in Antigua as well!

    Working with James and Be Photography was a wonderful experience and my wedding pictures turned out better than I ever could have imagined. James is extremely talented and his attention to detail is amazing. He made the entire photography experience very fun and easy. He let my husband and I, along with all of our guests, enjoy the day and captured every moment so beautifully without you ever knowing that he was right there. He was always very responsive to my calls, answering any questions that I had and kept me informed of the entire process beginning to end. I never imagined that there would be as many photos as there were and picking a favorite is very difficult! His pictures are a great way to relive the day and you will find that he captures moments that you might have forgotten about. All the photos are so gorgeous and I’ve received nothing but rave reviews of his work. I would highly recommend James and Be Photography to capture one of the most important days of one’s life!

    My husband and I also worked with James and Be Vacations to book our honeymoon. We gave James an idea of where we wanted to go along with dates and price range, and James was able to give us many different options to choose from. Once we selected where we wanted to go, James took care arranging everything. He even called the resort we had selected to check on honeymoon amenities for us. All we had to do was enjoy our honeymoon! I would highly recommend James and Be Vacation!

    I first discovered James' work when I was on Facebook and the wedding pictures of an acquaintance caught my eye. The style was very different, refreshing from the usual canned and cheesy posed photos, which was exactly what we wanted to avoid. We didn't want to feel like our time was consumed by taking photographs, so we instantly took a liking to James' approach and philosophy. From the beginning, he was so flexible with us conducting our initial consult via Skype since I wasn't available to meet in person. He was upfront with us from the beginning (and it's reflected on his website as well) about pricing, which in all fairness is a nice sum (not unreasonable, and photos were very important to us). Speaking from the other end of the process, I can now say that you get what you pay for! On the day of our wedding, I was running late, but James jumped right in to work (he even arrived early to scout out good spots for photos) photographing my husband as he got ready with his groomsmen. When I arrived all in a tizzy, he was a great calm presence, allowed me to get my bearings, and jumped in to photographing me as I got ready. He was so easy going, which was wonderful. I didn't feel pressure, or like I was being rushed at any time. He was just there to capture moments! He stepped in and provided directions/feedback when necessary, but otherwise just let us be! Most importantly, he was always on the lookout for a good photo opportunity, but never pressed us. I’m so happy he took the time to look for those opportunities too because some of my favorite photos were the result of him asking if we would be alright with stepping away from the reception for a couple minutes to take some photographs. They are absolutely breathtaking! Once the photos were ready, it was a seamless process getting them to us. AND THEY ARE GORGEOUS! From ceremony, to formals, to candid shots, they are just all phenomenal! I couldn’t be happier with the results and am SO SO HAPPY that we chose him!!!

    James was the best vendor we had on our wedding day. He knew all of the "usual" shots and had us all lined up and done with those very quickly. I didn't even have to think about it the whole time. Then he had ideas for more fun shots as well which I enjoyed and came out wonderfully. He took beautiful pictures of our wedding day and to be honest I wasn't even aware of him while he was doing it. I love the shots he took! He is very easy to work with and laid back. He will be sure you get the pictures that you want from your wedding!

    I chose James because of his background in photojournalism, which I think adds an additional perspective to his creative ability to capture spontaneous and meaningful moments. My family and I were very pleased with the outcome of the photos. It was important for me to have a lot of pictures with my dad and he captured some beautiful moments between us during the ceremony and throughout the rest of the evening. James is extremely easy going and will accommodate whatever needs you have for your special day. You will not be disappointed and I would highly recommend him to any of my friends and family.

    I highly recommend James Berglie. My photos came out beautiful. He has the perfect demeanor - isn't in your face and isn't pushy, but gets the photos you want/need. We ended up doing a pre-wedding photo shoot, which was great. James is totally flexible w/r/t time and location. He arrived early, stayed longer and made sure he got the shots we wanted. He didn't get in the way at all. Very happy with my photos.

    Also, he was extremely responsive leading up to the wedding. He answered all of my questions promptly. this was

    I would absolutely recommend James to any couple in need of a wedding photographer. Our pictures are more than we could have asked for, and I don't know how we are going to decide which ones to frame and put into an album. James was laid back, yet professional, always answered my emails in great detail, showed up early to our wedding to scout out spots for great pictures, and made sure the formal portraits were organized and moved along quickly so we could get to our reception early! During the ceremony and reception, I felt like I never saw him, yet he turned around with these amazing photos that looked like he was at the center of the action the entire time. A smidge on the pricier side, but worth every penny to have beautiful wedding photos that allow us to revisit our wedding day whenever we want.

    James was a phenomenal photographer worth every penny. He went above and beyond suggesting locations when our original plans fell through. Even all the little things, like taking the bride's bouquet and blotting off the water so it didn't get on her dress, meant a lot to us. His background as a freelance photojournalist shows in his work; our photos are full of remarkably well lit, vibrant candid photos. His personality made it a pleasure to work with him. We'd recommend his services to anyone who wants the best photographer for their wedding.

    A friend of ours recommend James to us. We contacted him to explore options for our honeymoon. He was very thorough and presented a few options based on our budget and ideal get away. We ended up traveling to the Excellence Riviera Cancun in Mexico and we were so happy with our decision.

    James is very quick to respond to emails and handled all of our travel arrangements with the resort. When we arrived, the resort had our travel information and our transportation to and from the resort was taken care of. He also sent us chocolate covered strawberries to our room!

    We enjoyed working with James and will be recommending his services to our friends and family. We hope to book another vacation through him soon!

    My brother and his new wife had a destination wedding in Mexico and James was their photographer and travel agent. James offsets his travel agency commissions against his photography fee, which resulted in his photography services being free. It also meant the bride and groom weren't stuck with a resort photographer that they didn't have confidence in.

    James was also able to guarantee us the best price for the trip and secure flights at bulk purchase rates before flights are even released to the public.

    James' level of service was fantastic for booking the travel and I've never seen a photographer work harder. The quality of his photography speaks for itself.

    I highly recommend James' services.

    James was great, and very easy to work with. Everyone in the wedding party complimented him. I have not gotten the pictures yet, as its only been a week, but I'm sure they'll be amazing.

    James was such a pleasure to work with in booking my stay in Mexico. It was my first time traveling to mexico and he was so nice and patient in answering all my questions and addressing my concerns. Thank you!

    James Berglie of Be Photography/Be Vacations was an absolute pleasure to do business with. James provided my girlfriend & I a completely stress free travel experience, from the day we decided on our destination, to the day it was time to fly back home. James provided exceptional communication throughout the entire process, answered any questions I initially had, & keep me updated with any changes in flight times to put my mind at ease. I would HIGHLY recommend the services of James Berglie, of Be Photography/Be Vacations, to anyone seeking assistance in planning a getaway. I cannot emphasize how simple and stress free James made the entire process. Thank you again!

    James Berglie at Be Photography is just awesome. James is a true professional with an extensive and beautiful collection of work. He is wonderful to work with, too! He is very quick to reply to your emails and answers every question honestly and thoroughly. On the day of the wedding he was fantastic. He arrived nice and early, was never intrusive and took such gorgeous photographs. Talking to James is like talking to your brother and he was so pleasant it really was like having a member of your family in the room, not a wedding photographer! The photos were edited and back to us very promptly and we can't get enough of them. All of his technology from the website and app you are able to download to view your pictures after editing is so easy to use as well. We are so glad to have had him as our photographer. He is extremely talented and creative and his work reflects that plus more. Our photos are modern, beautiful, unique and just more than what we ever realized they could be.
