Bella Aruba Photography

My husband and I were getting married for the second time. I was contacting a lot of vendors in Aruba and it was taking a week or so to hear back. Then after doing some research I found the amazing Angela. We were communicating with her from New York. She was always available between her cell, text, whats app, email etc. Angela spent countless hours helping us with location and every detail of all the arrangements. She made us feel so at ease and helped us every step of the way. Angela was truly a godsend. She was so reasonable and completely honest. If something was too expensive she would advise us it wasn’t worth it. She helped us in every way to save money On things that weren’t needed. She goes above and beyond for her clients. Angela did the whole Wedding planning and photography. We had our wedding in September 2018 in Aruba at passions on the beach. I would highly recommend Angela. She is the absolute best. Everything was so perfect and because of Angela, we had our dream wedding.

Angela is amazing!!

Angela was really great and really
Customized our experience. We didn’t love the idea of traditional stages photos but Angela made the entire process so smooth it didn’t even feel like staged photos. The shots were beautiful, we got everything back quickly. Angela was professional, accommodating and effortlessly navigated around the family stuff.

Bella Aruba is the only way to go!!! They were absolutely amazing and professional!

We found Angela and asked her to do our sunset Aruba engagement photo session in September 2018. Oh my goodness! That was the fastest hour. She knew we wanted waterfalls and sunsets and had the location for us immediately. She had an eye for positioning us and the pictures came out absolutely AMAZING! We knew she was the one for our wedding once we met her. She has an awesome personality, was very honest and up front with us! Everyone knows how stressful planning a destination wedding is, however after meeting Angela we knew she would handle everything professionally and we had no worries! We communicated through email and the WhatsApp. We were so blessed to have had Bella Aruba Wedding Planning for our 9.9.19 Aruba beach wedding! This woman has so much experience in wedding planning! Angela is from the USA and married an Arubian many years ago. So she has tons of connections, knows her stuff and has an eye for detail! The best thing is she will always make suggestions to save you money $$$ without compromising quality and you sure won't get that from the hotels!!! Two weeks before the wedding, Angela notified us that the restaurant vendor would not compromise with us after agreeing a year ago with our wishes. We were so stressed out and upset!!! She told me that she has lots of connections and she would find us a different location! We just have to have faith in her. So we prayed very hard and put it in her and God's hands. She had a new location for us within 24 hours! It was Ricardo's! We had never been to Ricardo's before, so I left it in her hands. I checked out their menu and drink selections and they had raving reviews! The location was right on the beach in front of the ocean. They were very accommodating to us, my food allergies and to our elderly couple who couldn't walk on the beach. We had our wedding ceremony and reception all at the same location. It was very windy, but absolutely gorgeous! She had to redo our decorations due to the wind and she came through once again like a champ! Angela had a romantically LED lighted tent set up right on the beach for the reception. We had our sunset ceremony on the beach and our reception under the romantic lighting and stars! Everything turned out better than we ever expected!!! She made our wedding an absolute dream come true!!! We highly recommend Bella Aruba for your destination wedding, photography and event planning!!!

Aruba’s Wonder Women Wedding Planner

It is truly impossible to summarize in just a few sentences just how mind-blowing our experience was with Angela. As she is truly ARUBAS WONDER WOMEN WEDDING PLANNER! After your first phone call with her you will realize that she truly knows everything about wedding planning and the beautiful Island of Aruba. She is truly the reason why our wedding did not turn out to be a complete disaster as we initially reached out for her photography services as we originally had our wedding venue booked at the RIU Palace and boy are we forever grateful that I reached out to Angela and that she responded quickly and saved me from having a total nightmare of a wedding at the RIU!!! For anyone who is reading this review please reach out to Angela before booking your wedding at the RIU – Trust me as Angela truly has your best interest at heart. We ended up having our wedding at the stunning Golf Club & Resort at Tierra Del Sol & with every decision you have to make she truly guides and helps you from helping you pick out the best venue location that fits your needs to the food, decor, officiant, transportation, & photography, etc. you name it - she truly was on it! Her attention to detail allowed not only my husband and I to enjoy the day, but also allowed us to let go and truly let Angela do what she truly does best while we get to enjoy the Island. As she IS the reason why we actually were able to have the most amazing wedding in Aruba. Having a destination wedding can be at times stressful as your not able to physically be there every step of the way but please do not worry and trust her as you truly have the best in the business by your side! There aren’t enough words that can even describe how much she truly cares that your day goes perfect. She truly will go over beyond for her clients. The amazing reviews that other clients have left her do not even do her services justice as she is absolutely wonderful. We couldn’t be happier that we had Angela as our wedding planner but most importantly we are so thrilled that we left Aruba with her as a friend. Thanks again Angela .

Exceeded Espectations

We were beyond pleased with our exceptional family photo shoot with Angela. She was wonderful with our young toddlers and baby showing patience and rapport with kids. Our youngest son and his fiance were also pleased with their couple photos as were the rest of us. She is a very talented, personable photographer that made our experience smooth and pleasant. The highest compliment I could give her is that I personally liked many of the photos I was included in since I usually don't care for my own pictures. I tend to close my eyes. All three families were impressed.

She is the photographer you need!

Words cannot describe how wonderful Angela is! She was always in contact with me (which is so important with a destination wedding). Every shot we needed was taken and so beautifully. She even brought a 2nd photographer, her beautiful daughter, and we were so happy with the results! Thank you so much!

My husband and I used Bella Photography for our wedding in Aruba 10 years ago. Angela did such a fabulous job that we made sure that she was available to photograph our 10 year renewal and family. She is professional, creative and fun! I highly recommend her!

Best of the Best of the Best!

It is impossible to summarize the mind blowing experience I had with Angela in one paragraph. After your first meeting (even phone) with her, you will realize the level of professionalism you are dealing with. She truly has your best interest at heart in every decision she makes from planning, decor, food, photography, etc. My advice for anyone who has chosen to work with Bella Aruba Events is to LET GO. I had so much trust in Angela, that I eventually let her take over of a lot of decisions knowing she will go above and beyond my own imagination. I can't tell you how happy my husband and I were with her services. At this point I am thinking of a new event in Aruba just so we can work together again :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
