Absolutely wonderful service!

Bellagala and our photographer, Katie Compo, were wonderful to work with!
The process of booking through Bellagala was straightforward and easy. We received a prompt reply on our initial inquiry and the contract and associated payment plan were clearly laid out for us by Bellagala’s staff.

Throughout the process of our engagement photos and wedding planning, Katie was extremely helpful and receptive. For the engagement session, she worked with us to find a photo location that checked all of our boxes for scenery and was willing to reschedule when the weather wasn’t ideal. Leading up to the wedding, she provided input into our day-of schedule to make sure that we had enough time to get all of the group and family photos that we wanted and encouraged us to send her sample photos of poses and styles that we liked.

More than any of the above, we really appreciated all of the guidance and assistance Katie provided on our wedding day. She kept us on schedule and even stepped in to help with lacing up my dress and coordinating the set-up of our DJ during the ceremony. My husband and I both felt completely comfortable and taken care of with her as our photographer. We just received our edited photos back and they are gorgeous! Cannot recommend Katie enough and we felt the value was worth what we paid and more!

Bellagala Photography Choice: Carrie M.

Carrie Malleaux was the most fabulous photographer!! She brought great energy, enthusiasm, and creativity to my mom’s big day. Couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice of photographer! Thank you for so beautifully capturing their wedding day, Carrie! You are a gem.

Katie Compo and Ben Hammond are amazing!!

I had my wedding this past friday and I could not recommend this company enough! Having Katie as my photographer and Ben as my videographer helped make my day flawless. They are both kind, enthusiastic, creative, efficient and organized. We can’t wait to see everything they captured!

Ryan Southen was Amazing!! :)

Ryan Southen was our photographer and he was absolutely amazing! Not only did he capture amazing pictures, but he made my husband and I feel extremely comfortable taking photos (we are not the biggest fan of our picture being taken, lol) and Ryan made it SO fun and one of my favorite parts of the whole day which I never thought I would say! He was such a pleasure to work with and anyone who can snag him to photograph their special event should feel so very lucky! :) I would 1000/10 recommend him to anyone asking for a photographer.

Katie was simply the BEST!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie at a wedding recently. She was so helpful and communicative the day of and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for my clients! She put them at ease, captured all the moments they wanted, and made it so fun for them! I can't wait to partner with her again and will be recommending her to all my clients!

Working with Katie Compo & Abdullah Maskud

We decided to work with Bellagala for our wedding photography/videography because of the price range, professionalism and responsiveness. We loved that we could browse the website and hand select our photographer and videographer based on experience, availability, their past work, and price range. We chose Katie Compo as our photographer and she was awesome. She was super outgoing, fun and helped everyone feel comfortable. She provided suggested poses, but none of them felt forced or awkward. We were assigned Abdulla Maskud as our videographer and he also did a great job. Him and Katie have worked together in the past, and their chemistry and ability to work together made it way easier on us. Everything they did felt very intentional and natural. I would recommend either of them to anyone looking for photography/videography for their wedding!

Katie Compo

We hired Katie Compo as our wedding photographer and she knocked it out of the park! She was communicative in the weeks leading up to the wedding and put together a timeline for us, which helped our day run smoothly. The day of, she and her assistant, Ian, were so professional and made us feel at ease (so much so I didn't feel awkward grabbing my husband's butt in front of her). It's obvious how experienced she is - she recommended so many poses that we wouldn't have thought of but that turned out stunning. It only felt like fate when we realized we went to the same high school! I have never gotten married before, and anytime I had a "stupid" question, Katie had the answer. The photos all came out so beautiful and we'll cherish them for years to come. I'm so glad we chose her!

Absolutely amazing, effortless, beautiful photos!

We worked with Katie Compo with Bella Galla and she was absolutely incredible. From being communicative and helpful prior to really knocking it out of the park on our big day. Katie makes a stressful day effortless and then captures the day beautifully. She's incredibly talented, captured us as a couple and this history of our unique venue. We're so pleased with the outcome and the beautiful photos we'll have forever.

Highly recommend Katie C and Brandon T.!

We had a great experience working with Bellagala. Katie C. was communicative and made sure that she understood what we were looking for before our big day. She also worked up schedules and shot lists for our review and helped us get them just right. She was fantastic to work with, and we were so happy upon receiving our images. She captured the moments beautifully with great lighting, color, and composition. I was really self conscious about my appearance and she gave me posing tips as well that must have worked, as I feel beautiful in these pictures! So friendly and great at capturing the candid feel we wanted.

We also worked with Brandon T. and his team for videography through Bellagala and had a great time with them too! So professional but also just fun and adding to the joy of the day. We haven't gotten our video done yet as our wedding was recent, but we're so excited to see it!

Katie Compo was the best photographer we can not recommend her enough!

Katie and Matt were amazing! They were very organized, had a printed list of the pictures we requested, and got them all, even our second and third tier list of lesser priority. They were quick to adapt, when make-up ran long, then when the rain came and we needed to take family pictures inside they were so nice, pleasant, and just fun to be around. Anyone who is asking me for a recommendation Katie is the right girl for the job and I can not recommend her enough. She took her time and was so nice to our guests and was willing to go take the picture our guests asked for when the time was right. Everyone during and after our wedding loved Katie and continued to tell us how amazing she was. Thank you Katie and Matt for capturing our day so beautifully. We can not wait for the final pictures from Bellagala and if you ever need a name of a previous client to talk with a new potential client we would love too! Thank you again for going above and beyond; you were both a blessing to work with! 
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
