Wedding Videographer

We are so incredibly grateful to have had Phil from Bella Star Productions film our wedding day. From the very beginning, he was an absolute pleasure to work with—kind, thoughtful, and so genuinely invested in capturing our day in the most meaningful way.

Phil worked closely with us leading up to the wedding to create a detailed timeline, making sure every important moment would be filmed. On the day of, he was calm, professional, and blended in so seamlessly that we barely noticed the cameras—yet he managed to capture all the magic.

One of the biggest highlights was receiving our short film just one week later, and we truly couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It was beautifully edited, heartfelt, and perfectly captured the love and joy of the day. It brought us right back to every special moment.

Phil was responsive, caring, and clearly takes so much pride in his work. We would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding videographer. He exceeded our expectations in every way and gave us a gift we will cherish forever!

Valuable Investment

We had such a wonderful experience with Phil/Bella Star Productions! He arrived early and stayed through the end of our reception, capturing every moment without ever feeling intrusive. I’m incredibly camera shy, but he was so kind and easygoing that he made me feel comfortable right away. My family kept commenting on how friendly he was and how seamlessly he jumped into the middle of the action. Half the time I forgot he was even there but in a good way!
Before the wedding he answered all of our questions and made us feel confident in our decision. He was easy to get a hold of and answered quickly. The week of he jumped on a call with us to help us brainstorm a last minute indoor photo locations after our church ceremony. He worked perfectly alongside our photographer! It genuinely felt like they were old friends, and I loved spending the day with them both.
And the biggest bonus was receiving our video trailer incredibly fast, just a few days later! We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Bella Star Productions to any couple looking for a professional, fun, and talented videographer.

Highly recommend!

If you are on the fence about getting a videographer for your wedding I would highly recommend Bella Star Productions! Phil was extremely kind, professional and went above and beyond for our day! We did the basic package but he was more than willing to come early for our first look/personal vows and stayed til the very last moment of the night! He diligently worked the entire time and I’m confident not a moment was missed! We received our highlight reel so far and it was perfect! We cannot wait to see the rest!

Our experience

Phil was a great videographer. He was there the entire day, and worked with our photographer on guiding us through the wedding day process. He got our preview back to us right after the wedding and the actual wedding video quickly with great quality that really captured our special day.

Phil is the best!!

Phil from Bella Star Productions was absolutely incredible! We are beyond thrilled with our wedding short film. From the very beginning, Phil was professional, personable, and made us feel completely comfortable. He has a true talent for capturing the essence of the day.

The short film itself is stunning. Phil masterfully put together all the special moments, from getting ready in the morning to the reception celebrations, creating a film that genuinely reflects our love story.

And the turnaround time! We were amazed at how quickly we received our short film. It was the perfect way to relive our wedding day and share it with friends and family.

Phil was always responsive and easy to communicate with. We highly recommend Bella Star Productions to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated videographer. Phil, thank you for capturing our memories so beautifully!

Best videographer!

Having Phil with Bella Star be my videographer was one of the best decisions I made. He was very knowledgeable, helped me figure out my timeline to make the most of his and other vendors services and was so unbelievably kind through all of it. At the wedding he was so professional. He managed to catch so many important moments while still feeling like he wasn't intruding at all. I would hire him again in a second.

Two thumbs way up!

Phil was fantastic, he was so obscure in the background you could hardly notice him, but the shots he got are absolutely incredible!!! He gave us a highlight reel the DAY AFTER THE WEDDING. He stayed until the very end! Complimented us the entire night and was a delight to have there. 10/10!!! We 🤍 Phil! Super easy to work with.

Choose bella star!

We used Bella Star for our wedding after getting a referral for them from our family friends saying they were great. We were still surprised at how great they really were! Not only are they professional, timely, on the ball, and helped keep everything on track/schedule while also ensuring we got every shot we could possibly want, but they were also great to be around, friendly, courteous, and a general joy to "work" with. We got everything we asked for, and then some! It almost felt like we just had two additional guests that took all of our photos because they were so easy to work with (that includes corralling 7 kids for most of the photos), and made everything so easy. We could not be happier with Bella Star. If you are planning something and Bella Star is one of your options, quit looking now, select them and you will not be disappointed!!

Bella Star

Choosing Bella Star Productions as our videographer was one of the best decisions we made throughout our engagement! Phil was wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. He was very organized and made sure he had ALL of the details to ensure that the day goes perfectly. The day of, Phil was early and genuinely excited to film our special day! He made sure he got every little minute of the day. He was there from 10 am to 10 pm when our reception ended. Within 2 weeks, we got our highlight film and we can't stop watching it! It's so perfect, and we can't wait to see the final product! Overall, working with Bella Star was an amazing experience!

So thrilled with Bella Star Video!

A friend recommended Bella Star Video & I'm so glad we listened! Phil was fantastic to work with & so reasonably priced. Although there were 2 photographers his video was able to capture moments that they did not. We absolutely loved the sort film (which was available in about 2 weeks) & cannot wait to get the documentary film!

Phil is great!

We loved working with Phil. He was pleasant to message with and on the day of the wedding he made us feel very comfortable. He got our wedding video to us very quickly and had great communication throughout the whole process! We loved that he stayed for so much of the wedding day and was able to capture so much.

Best. Decision. EVER!

Bella Star Productions was the best vendor we could have chose for our wedding day! Philip is very professional, caring, and dedicated to his work. He is very detail oriented and does everything in his power to make sure he gets the picture perfect shot. His prices are very reasonable for the time and effort he puts into his work. Even when I was running behind schedule, Phil assured my husband and I that everything was going to be ok, and that he was going to take the time to get the shots we wanted. I can’t imagine what our day would have looked like without Phil by our side. Thank you so much for beautifully capturing our special day!

Fabulous experience with Bella Star Productions!

We hired Phil to shoot our June wedding, and we were thrilled with the results! Phil skillfully captured the getting ready moments and flawlessly synced them with a requested song during the editing process. He delivered great footage of the ceremony from various angles, and great clips of the dancing at the reception. The video editing was well-done, and he skillfully blended the music with the footage, including songs we requested.

Phil's communication was excellent before the wedding ensuring all our questions were answered and everyone was on the same page. On the day of the wedding, he was punctual, friendly, and stayed until the end of the night. He delivered the short film just 3 weeks after the wedding, and it truly reflects the joy and emotion of our special day - we've watched it countless times already! We highly recommend Phil for anyone looking for a talented and reliable videographer to capture all the important moments of your special day!

Update: We recently received our "documentary film" and we were blown away with how wonderful the editing was of the pre-ceremony, ceremony, and reception. Phil captured the ceremony from multiple angles and it's hard to believe he was the only videographer! We have loved watching and re-watching footage of the toasts and reception dancing (over 30 minutes of fun, high quality video of dancing). We enthusiastically recommend Phil!

The videographer's exceptional skills brought our vision to life, creating a truly memorable and captivating video.

Phil LaNasa was amazing! He made the whole process easy for us by mailing us pre-addressed envelopes and having great communication. He was present and dedicated to our whole wedding day! He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, resulting in genuine and natural footage. Their expertise on capturing the audio was impressive as well! We appreciate Bella Star Productions so much for capturing our special day perfectly and would highly recommend to anyone! We love our highlight film so much and can’t wait to get our documentary film.

Very Highly Recommended

We could not recommend Phil and Bella Star more. He was attentive and organized from the moment we first contacted him through our wedding day. You can tell that he cares about his clients and his work. He captured everything we wanted and was a perfect member to our whole wedding team with his kindness, professionalism, and organization. We are grateful to have found him to be our videographer and capture our day for us.

Gratefully

Phil was amazing to work with! He helped us with creating a timeline for the wedding day to make the day run smoothly. He was with us all day and fit right in with everyone. Phil made us feel so comfortable and barely even felt like there was a camera around. He even was able to get us our short film back within a few days of our wedding and the short film was absolutely incredible! We were on the fence about a videographer but we have no regrets about hiring Phil he was the best and I would recommend him to everyone I know!

Phil from bellastar was amazing to work with! He worked with my mom to surprise her gift of a videographer with me! During the wedding, We had a big bridal party and a rowdy group at that! He was patient and even helped to organize getting ready,corralling and angles /positioning. Most importantly, his services/final product delivered. He was always in contact pre event and detail oriented (double checked our song choices and preferences along the way). The final video was everything we wanted and our guests still talk about his presence and our video is a huge hit- couldn’t recommend enough :)

Phil was excellent throughout the whole wedding planning process. He provided a document of "tips and tricks" for the best videography which was very helpful for the day! He was prepared with the proper equipment and definitely captured all the important moments of our wedding. He provided our short film much earlier than we expected and it is beautiful! Affordable price and very great value for service! Highly recommend.

Phil was a joy to work with from the start! He made sure he understood the timeline for the day and where he should be/when in order to get the best shot. We adore the highlight film Phil made for us and I’ve watched it probably 50 times already. His work will be cherished by my friends and family for decades to come. If you’re on the fence about hiring, do it! (If he’s still available 😉)

Phil was absolutely outstanding. He worked harmonious with our Photographer, didn't miss a thing and we barely knew he was there. His work is pristine, worth every penny.

Phil is amazing, memories to last a lifetime

I was going back and forth about having a videographer to be honest but I am so so glad I did. Everyone says it but the day flies by and is such a blur and as the bride you don't get to see a lot of the day happen! Phil was so responsive and available throughout our planning process and took the time to get to know us as a couple prior to the wedding. We are ecstatic at our short film and are so excited to see the full length film soon! The quality of the video is amazing and is easily one of the best values for videography! I would highly recommend Bella Star to couples in Buffalo and you can't beat Phil's experience in the wedding industry! You won't meet a nicer guy either! Does everything with a smile on his face and ha a calming presence throughout the day!

Simply amazing

We had found out about Bella Star productions through a friends wedding, since their video was so beautiful we just had to reach out. From the time we booked with Phil to our wedding day it has been the absolute best choice. Phil meets with you and discusses how you want your day to go and makes suggestions to make your wedding go so smoothly. The day of our wedding was such a breeze to have him capture all of our special moments. He gave us our short film so quick, only a week and half after our wedding. Definitely recommend Bella Star for your wedding videography needs!

Amazing Videographer

Bella Star was amazing to work with. We decided to postpone our wedding because of COVID, and Phil was extremely understanding and did not ask for more money from us. As we got closer to our wedding, he took the time to call us, email us, and helped us figure out our day of wedding schedule. He was extremely helpful, professional, and gave us great suggestions. He was truly a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer in the area. He gave us our highlight video a few short weeks after our wedding and we are absolutely in love with it! Look no further than Bella Star. Amazing quality!!

COVID Wedding 2021

I was given an amazing review from a coworker about Phil. I watched her video and new I had to hire him! I initially didn’t want a videographer but so glad I did! We spoke with Phil prior to Covid and he was always keeping in contact with us and provided a very thorough response as to what services he provided. Once Covid hit, it seemed like a bad dream where dates were changing, our initial reception hall not working out and most importantly, realizing that we might not be able to have our loved ones by our side. Luckily, Phil was the constant we needed during that time of uncertainty. His commitment to our contract and compassion for our situation was unwavering. Thank you, Phil for being by our side during the crazy rollercoaster that was COVID wedding planning!

I booked Phil at the semi-last minute and he was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. He responded to my inquiry in a timely manner and his prices were among the best I've seen! I checked out his portfolio before booking and was blown away with his eye for detail. Planning a wedding from out of town, we could not meet until our wedding day, but we had multiple phone calls to discuss our vision and he made sure to keep me informed every step of the way. Upon meeting him, he was super friendly, very professional, and down-to-business! I did not stress one bit about if he would capture specific moments as he seemed very comfortable doing his thing, and I was very happy to not have to worry about anything just knowing he was there. When he sent our teaser video not even two weeks later, I cried all the way through it as it was so perfectly beautiful. I absolutely cannot wait to see what he comes up with for our full video, but I am certain that it's going to be amazing! I would recommend working with Phil to anyone looking for a wedding videographer who will be not only professional, but personable on your special day!

Bella Star for a STAR production

Working with Phil was a dream. He was very responsive and flexible with us during our 2 postponements, due to COVID. Phil worked with us and the photographer to create a time schedule that worked best for all parties. On the day of the wedding he worked seamlessly with with photographer and the bridal party to capture our big day. We are so happy with the final production of our video. We would recommend Phil to everyone and if you're on the fence, totally spend the extra money on the videographer! As a bride, and watching our film, you realize how much of the day you actually miss! We couldn't be more pleased with Phil's service, production, and packages!

Phil is incredible

One thing that I knew was non-negotiable was having a videographer on our big day and I cannot explain how lucky we were to have Phil with us. He stuck with us through all the date changes and he was supportive along the way. He even helped plan out the whole agenda for the day, which was beyond helpful. From the minute he arrived that morning until the end of the night, he was right by our sides capturing all the amazing moments of our day. His calming presence really made me feel comfortable and his humor carried us through the day. When he sent us our short film I was blown away by the quality and the heart behind it. He was such a big part of our day and that showed in the film, he captured every little moment and that is why I was so glad we hired him! I cannot wait to see the entire film because I know it will take us right back to the day. If you are having a wedding in the Central NY region, you will be so happy you hired Phil!! I know we will remember him forever and have such fond memories every time we watch our wedding video!!

Phil was amazing!

Planning a wedding during a global pandemic is NOT something brides dream of, and it's uncharted territory for both couples and vendors alike. I was not sure I wanted to spend extra money on videography, but since we had to scale everything back so much and reduce our guest list so drastically - I wanted to make sure every moment of our night was captured for our family and friends to see afterwards (Selfishly, after seeing my highlight video, I would be so sad not to have it for myself) . From the very beginning, Phil was professional, flexible and truly had our best interests in mind. I was confident that Phil would leave us with memories to last a lifetime , and he did NOT DISAPPOINT!!! The evening flew by in the blink of an eye, and we are so happy we have all of this video footage to go back and watch anytime we want. We are so happy with our decision to hire Phil and cannot recommend him and his work enough.... all I can promise you is that it's worth every last penny. Thank you Phil for everything you did to make our day so special!!!

Great wedding videographer!

I couldn't have asked for a better wedding video...Phil was very responsive & easy to work with. He sent us our "preview" within 2 weeks & the full video shortly thereafter. He was the videographer for both my wedding & my sister's; I would highly recommend him!

Experienced & Professional with an Eye for the Special Details!

If you are looking for an experienced videographer with an eye for the details, look no further, because Phil is your man! Phil is so knowledgeable and easy to work with, and he truly loves weddings. He kept in contact with us in the months leading up to our wedding, and even helped us put together a timeline for the day. He worked seamlessly with our photographer, often times working with her to set up beautiful shots. He gave my husband and I pointers from time to time to ensure things videoed well, and though he stayed out of the way, we know he was there to capture all of our beautiful moments from our wedding day. He helped us stay relaxed and focused on each other, not on the video, and we are so grateful to him for helping our day run so smoothly! Our film was returned in a timely manner and turned out completely perfect! We love it so much! Thanks Phil!

Great videographer!

I cannot say enough good things about Phil at Bella Star! My husband and I initially weren't going to use a videographer, but I'm so glad we did and extremely glad we went with Bella Star Productions. Phil was punctual, professional and I thoroughly enjoyed that he was respectful of everyone's space with his cameras. So many people came up to me after the reception saying they hardly knew he was there, and that's what we wanted! He knew where to stand to get the perfect shots and our video has made me and others cry based on how beautiful it is! I highly recommend him for any other bride!

Wedding 04/27/19

We are so happy that we had Phil from Bella Star Productions with us on our wedding day. He did an excellent job and we were absolutely stunned by how amazing our highlight video turned out. Phil is great at what he does and is very professional and polite. He is easy going, accommodating, and very enjoyable to work with. He offers great advice and goes out of his way to make your wedding day special. Having Phil from Bella Star Productions capture our wedding was easily one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. We highly encourage anyone to do the same, trust us, you won’t regret it.

An absolute must!

We are so happy that we went with Phil for our videography! If you are reading this and saying to yourself, "Should we have a videographer?" Let me say what everyone else says: just do it! And Bella Star is a great value.

What struck me the most is when I reached out to Phil initially to discuss his services, he made it a personally point to call me directly to review what I was wanting from my videographer and I really appreciated his honesty and his knowledge. He was always prompt to respond to any of my questions and always followed up. He wasn't intrusive with his filming and all my guests mentioned that they didn't notice him --- and he got some really great shots! My highlight film was 9 minutes but it is really great to have something longer than a 3 min trailer because the highlight film is perfect to share with those who couldn't attend the wedding.

So if your still reading this.... what are you waiting for? Reach out to him now!

Awesome Videographer!

We spent a lot of time researching videographers. We wanted someone with excellent quality at a reasonable price and Phil from Bella Star offered both! Phil responded to all of our emails in a timely manner and even called us a few weeks before the wedding to help us organize the wedding day timeline and details that we didn't even think about. The day of the wedding, Phil stayed most of the night and all caught all of the moments we had hoped for! After receiving the video, we received a ton of compliments on the quality and editing of the videography. Phil did an amazing job and we are so happy we went with him. Would definitely recommend if you are currently in the market for a wedding videographer. Thanks again Phil!!!

Phil went out of his way (literally) to make our wedding day and highlights video out of the world amazing. He kept in close contact with us up until the wedding day, kept our bridal parties on point, and gave us such heartfelt advice that I believe heightened our experience with him.

We are so grateful and fortunate to have found such a fun, professional, and caring wedding videographer for our day. Thank you again!

Phil is the man and very to easy work with and totally understands that a bride has 100000 things going on leading up the the wedding and was sooo accommodating!

I would highly recommend Phil and his team!

Phil from Bella Star was the videographer at our wedding on 9.1.17. Words cannot express how awesome he was. From early on, Phil acted as our “wedding planner” in a way and truly helped us come up with a timeline for the entire wedding day. He was professional, punctual and very kind. We had multiple compliments on just how nice he was. Our final video is awesome and something we will cherish for years to come! We highly recommend both having a videographer and choosing Phil!

I was referred to bella star through friends who also chose Phil and couldn't be more pleased, not only is the price right but you aslo get Phil, who genuinely loved what he does and puts so much time and care into capturing every special detail, even things you wouldn't think of! He planned out the whole schedule for my day, when hair and makeup should get there, how much time I should have for pictures based on the time between the ceremony and reception, etc. I got so many compliments on our highlight video, which we received just 6 days after the wedding! He was quick to respond with every email and question, would call me if he thought he should explain more in depth. I couldn't have asked for a better videographer, I highly recommend Phil and bella star productions!

Phil was an absolute outstanding videographer! He was helpful throughout the whole process. He always had suggestions for us which was great because we had no idea what we were doing. He always responded back quickly with emails and phone calls. The day of the wedding he offered his help whereever he could and made us all feel comfortable. It can be weird when someone starts filming you when you're not used to it, but he was great. We can not say enough great things about him! I highly recommend Bella Star Productions!

We had such an amazing experience working with Bella Star Productions. Phil is so professional, caring and absolutely loves what he does. We could not have imagined our day being any more perfect, and Phil played a huge part in that. Having a videographer at our wedding was something I wasn't sure we needed, until we met Phil and saw his work. The day goes by so quickly and now we have these memories captured perfectly. He uses songs that are meaningful to you which makes your video so much more special. I really could go on and on about how amazing Bella Star Productions is. We have recommended him to everyone we know who is getting married!

I was recently married on 5/20, and I cannot speak highly enough about Bella Star Productions. A few family members of mine have used Bella Star Productions previously, and I was so excited to be able to work with them for my own wedding. Such a professional, wonderful company, and Phil (the videographer) is so helpful and kind throughout the entire wedding process. He is courteous in the lead-up to the wedding, and polite and inconspicuous during the wedding day. I was a very, very nervous bride, and Phil never made me feel like I was "on display"; however, I know that he was able to film the day perfectly as it happened, and for that, I am so grateful! He caught every single moment without ever disrupting the flow of the day, and I am so appreciative for that. Also, the turn-around time is fantastic - we had a highlight film within a week of the wedding, which is amazing. Can't recommend them highly enough!

my husband(!) and I got married this past Saturday (4/29/17) and Bella Star productions did our photography and videography. Phil was an absolute joy to work with from day one. He was so helpful from the first day I inquired about his business. There were times when I would think of a question to ask him at 10-11pm and I would usually get a response back that night, if not early the following day. The package I chose bundled the photography & videography and the price was unbelievable. It was close to the same price I was getting from other photographers for photography ONLY! On the day of the wedding Phil and his team showed up and were truly great. They were very professional and helped keep us on track while still being very fun & polite. During the reception, they were so discrete and out of the way that nobody even knew they were there. He uploaded a sneak peak album with a few of our photos on Facebook to hold us over until the rest are ready and we are in awe at how great they turned out & are very eager to see the rest of the photos and our video! I would HIGHLY recommend Bella Star Productions to any couple!

I can't explain how beyond happy we were with Bella Star. Phil was incredibly thoughtful and accommodating through the days leading up to our big day and even after our wedding. His team was great and fun to work with all day. The photos were the perfect combination of traditional and unique. We absolutely love the video! The video footage caught so many great memories and moments that I wasn't able to see and would never have been able to see if it wasn't for the amazing team capturing them in our video package. Well worth every penny.

Working with Phil was so great! We talked on the phone for over an hour per my request, to help me figure out my wedding timeline! He was so patient and captured everything on the wedding day! My whole family was against getting a videographer and now that the montage came out; they all want much more! He has such a talent, I would recommend him to anyone!

Phil and his team at Bella Star have been absolutely wonderful to work with! Phil (the owner) was there on my wedding day as one of my photographers and to ensure everything ran smoothly. Most photography places I called to inquiry about didn’t have this personal touch. Prior to our big day, Phil was always in touch and was very professional. He was very helpful in giving suggestions as to what should take place during the photo/video sessions, but was also accommodating to our needs. He and his team was there the entire day, but yet we barely even noticed that they were there. As the bride, it was very nice to work with Phil since he made me feel very comfortable. I almost felt he was like one of the family members at my wedding. He even gave me a hug and ensure me that everything went well. I was nervous to see what our wedding photos and video were like since everything was captured naturally mostly and was super impressed at the quality and what Phil and his team captured on our special day! They got all the important details and what meant a lot to us. After the wedding, Phil worked closely with us to deliver all our photos with high quality on discs and flash drive. He worked so hard on our highlight video to help improve the audio since we had a very strange sound from some sort of animal during our ceremony. It was so annoying and bothered us a lot so Phil kept working on it and did what he could until we were pleased with it! After our DVDs/Blu-rays arrived, we needed extra copies to give out to our family and Phil added them in with no extra charge! This was a surprise to us and we were so totally touched by his wonderful offer! My husband and I will definitely recommend Phil and his team for future weddings amongst our family and friends :)

I initially wasn't sure if I wanted a videographer but I am glad we ended up working with Phil. He made the process really easy and was always available to answer our questions along the way. The day of the wedding he worked really well with our photographer and was there to capture all of our special moments. We LOVE our highlights video and I am excited to see the longer footage. Looking back I can't imagine not having the wedding day filmed and I'm beyond thrilled that we were able to work with Phil at Bella Star Productions.

Bella star did amazing for our wedding! We had Phil do our engagement shoot as well and they turned out perfect. They did everything exactly as we wanted it and we're very flexible and EXTREMELY responsive. One member of the crew even gave up his water bottle for my wedding party because we were all parched! They were discreet and always made sure we were getting what we wanted. GREAT bunch to work with. Very much worth the money!

We used Bella Star Productions for our wedding photographer and videographer. I can't say enough about how wonderful Phil and his team were. Throughout the entire process, Phil was professional, organized, and easy-going. The weeks leading up to the wedding, Phil made sure everything was all planned for our big day. I appreciated the fact that it was one vendor that I didn't have to worry about because I knew Phil had everything under control. Phil and his team made me feel at ease the entire day. They were there from the moment I put on my dress to the last song of the night but they were never intrusive. They seemed genuinely happy to be there capturing every moment with our family and friends. Not only were they sincere and caring individuals, but the quality of the work was outstanding. The photos are beautiful - even on a rainy, cold, windy fall day, Phil and his team captured every moment perfectly. The highlight video is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I know some people say a videographer is not worth it but I completely disagree. The day is such a whirlwind that you can't possibly remember every moment. Having the video to watch allows me to relive the day again and again. I typically don't write reviews but felt they need to express my appreciation and to give my recommendation. You won't regret choosing Bella Star Productions! Thanks again to Phil and his team.

We booked Bella Star for only our Video because someone had recommended a photographer for us. However, Bella Star was amazing! I regret not booking the entire photo and video package with them! The attention that Phil put on our day and to specific details was amazing. We have already recommended this company to friends and family getting married in the near future. If you book with Bella Star you will not be disappointed!

Phil was absolutely amazing beginning to end and by beginning I mean starting from the moment we even inquired about Bella star's services for videography. He was patient, thorough, and answered any and every question we had in a timely manner which is definitely helpful when you're a stressed out bride :). We were so pleased with the level of professionalism at Bella star and could not be happier with the service we received. Not to mention how amazing our highlight film is! We can't wait to see the whole thing! If you're looking for a videographer, Bella star is the way to go!!!

Phil and his crew (Matt and Melissa) did a fantastic job providing us with photography and videography for our wedding. They made all of our family and friends comfortable resulting in beautiful picture/videos that we'll cherish forever. I highly recommend them to any couple that truly cares about being able to look back and reminisce about their special day. Would book them again in a heartbeat. Happy planning!

I knew I needed the best videographer for my wedding and I could not be happier with my choice of Bella Star Productions. I originally found them online and after asking a few friends who used them, I knew I made the right decision. Phil and his crew were absolutely incredible, capturing all of the right moments and shots. Honestly, I forgot they were even there at certain points because they did such a great job of blending in and getting the best footage. My short film could not be more gorgeous, they filmed moments I didn't even know happened or didn't remember them being present for. The quality and art behind my wedding video is second to none and I could not recommend Bella Star more highly. If I could give ten stars I would. For brides who want a gorgeous memory of their day, call Phil, I promise you will not be disappointed.

Phil and his son were fantastic! They were both great to work with! Prior to, Phil was great about keeping in touch with me and coming up with a schedule of the day's events. He was very flexible and professionalism showed! Also, our wedding trailer was ready in only two short weeks, and our DVD's were mailed shortly after!! I would definitely recommend him for any of your video needs!!! My husband and I couldn't be happier with the finished product!! Thanks Phil! :)

Phil did a great job at our wedding! Everything went easy and smooth, he would always get back with us so quickly and check on everything in the planning process and during the wedding. On our day he has been great on time and stayed so long. We didnt even notice he was there and never felt like he was in the way. He also brings in great ideas. You can tell how much he loves what he is doing and what more can you ask for? We havent seen the results yet, but Im sure it will be everything we hoped for and more. Thank you so much, you helped making our day perfect and keeping all those memories from that day.
If youre looking for a professional videographer who loves what he is doing then search no longer and hire Bella Star Productions! You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much Phil!

WOW! If you are at all considering hiring a videographer for your wedding, I highly recommend hiring Bella Star Productions!! Our experience working with Phil was outstanding. He is so professional and knowledgeable with what he does. My husband and I are so happy with our entire experience with Bella Star Productions. Our wedding was on May 9th and only 2.5 weeks later we already have our edited highlight film from our big day! We should be getting our DVD package in the mail next week and we can't wait to watch it. I promise you will not be disappointed with Bella Star. Phil keeps you well informed and sets the expectation for the entire process and most importantly for the big day. Phil has the ability to capture all of the special moments on camera without you even noticing that he's there filming! There was not a single moment where we felt like he was in the way or felt uncomfortable being filmed.

We very strongly recommend hiring Phil and Bella Star Productions for your wedding day! They exceeded mine and my husband's expectations and will forever be able to relive our day through our Bella Star videos! THANK YOU!!

I cannot say enough about Phil from Bella Star Productions. He was great in every way! He was always quick with his responses for any questions I had. He was so professional and so pleasant to work with. I also had a crazy story for my wedding. My wedding was delayed two days because of a snow storm that had me snowed in under 6+ feet of snow. Phil was so great with being flexible and was able to video our wedding and thrown together mini reception that we had. It was such a stressful situation and Phil did everything he could to make it better for us. He was also so fantastic that he was able to video our actual reception that was pushed back 5 months because of the storm. The videos came out perfectly too. I love having the highlight videos but also the edited documentary footage. There were parts of my reception that I missed because I got caught up dancing and talking, but Phil made sure to get every part on video. Getting a videographer wasn't something my now husband was sold on in the beginning but he absolutely loves it and is so happy that we ended up booking with Bella Star. I would absolutely recommend Bella Star 110%.

Amazing. That is the only word to describe Bella Star. The level of service my husband I received before, during, and after the wedding was incredible. We had Phil and David on our wedding day and they were wonderful to work with. My husband and I are extremely shy and were nervous about having someone videotape us but we honestly didn't even know they were there! We were so happy we decided to have Bellar Star shoot our wedding. It has been so great to relive our special day over and over. They catch moments you didn't even know happen! The documentary and short film we received were out of this world. Family and friends gushed over the quality of the videos. The creativity of the short film was fantastic. We've been told by family and friends they watch it over and over - they can't get enough of it! The music fits the movie so perfect! The short film was so great to show people who were unable to make the wedding as it provides a snap shot of the whole day. I would recommend Bella Star to anyone looking for a videographer. You will not regret it. These guys are professionals and do an unbelievable job! They go above and beyond to capture the day just the way you want it. You will have a smile on your face every time you watch these videos. We hope to be able to work with them again in the future. Thank you Bella Star!

Phil was great to work with. You can tell how much he loves what he does! He was very nice, accommodating, organized and personable. He definitely made sure my wedding day would go accordingly to plan! He just sent us our "highlights" film and I absolutely love it. I can't stop watching it! The quality and sound is great. I love how he edited it with the music. It really flows together. I cannot wait to see the full length video! I am so happy we decided to get a videographer. Now that my wedding is over with, I can re-live the whole day and think of all the beautiful memories. I know my husband and I will look back on the videos and will remember how that was the best day of our lives!

Phil blew us away. We could honestly not be happier with him or the quality of his work. I cannot believe that he did all that he did, by himself. Beyond, beyond professional and his suggestions for time constraints made my morning as the bride an absolute breeze. I would definitely suggest to get the highlighted film done by him too! :) I can't imagine having a better video for one of the most important days of our lives.

Phil was so accommodating from our first meeting to even after the wedding. He was very attentive to all of my needs and requests. There is not a single negative thing I could even think of or say about my experience working with him. The finished product exceeded all of my expectations. An absolutely wonderful and stress-free experience with Bella Star!

Bella Star Productions was simply the best photo and video crew I could have asked for to document my wedding. From the moment I called to inquire for packages and pricing to the to very last dance of my reception, the staff was nothing but accommodating, inconspicuous, and friendly. The pictures I have seen so far are stunning and I can't wait to see the whole album!

Bella Star Productions was an excellent choice for our wedding videographer. From beginning to end, Phil was very friendly and easy to work with. He traveled a few hours to our wedding location on the day of and he even arrived early and began filming immediately. Throughout the entire day we barely even knew he was there. He definitely stayed behind the scenes. Most importantly, his final product...WOW! We were blown away by the professional quality of the film. And, he was able to provide us with a highlight movie in under 2 weeks! We were very impressed with everything that Bella Star Productions brought to the table. We highly recommend them for your wedding or special event.

Phil was so great to work with. When I was looking for a videographer, it was important to me to find someone where it wouldn't be obvious that our guests had a video camera in their face throughout the day; I just wanted someone who could capture the day without making everyone self conscious! Most of our guests said they didn't even notice we had a videographer, which is exactly what I wanted - everyone just had fun while Phil caught it all in the background. He captured so many great moments and we were so excited to see our highlight film, which was ready just a few days after the wedding. He was a pleasure to work with and I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

Book Bella Star!! Our photographer recommend Phil to us and I'm glad we took her advice. He documented every part of our day perfectly. I barely noticed he was there and I couldn't believe he stayed until the end of the reception! The DVDs were great and we had them in our hands less than 4 weeks after the wedding..such a fast turn around. I highly recommend Phil!

We bought the Cinema Package, and we are totally amazed by our short film. It was the most expensive package, but when you see how seamless the short film turns out because you have two camera professionals, it was worth it and more. Phil was always prompt to answer any questions I had. if I emailed him, I would always receive a response within minutes, which is refreshing when you planning a wedding
My husband, at first, was not completely on board with hiring a videographer. The day of the wedding, I had been detained by my hairdresser by an hour and a half. I was so upset about being late. Phil was so sweet and kind, he really made me feel that there was nothing to worry about and to just enjoy the moment. He put me at ease. The way he edited our video, you never saw me rushing, instead, he captured every sweet moment, and has such an artistic eye. As soon as we watched the video, my husband said, "You were right, all along, to hire them." Your wedding day flies by, and it is so wonderful to relive one of the most special day of your lives.
We have watched our short film with our families, and every time I watch it, I can't stop crying. The video is so beautiful, and it brings me tears of joy to be able to remember all the details of our special day. I have seen the other videos on their website, and they are all wonderful. I had such high expectations of their work... Phil and David blew us away and delivered much more.
All of our guests commented on how excited our videographers were about our wedding. I have never known a vendor to take such pride and love in his work, that he becomes such a wonderful part of that day. Our wedding would not have been as beautiful, if Phil and David weren't part of it. They treat you as if you are a family friend, and it makes all the difference in the world. Thank you, BellaStar for capturing beautiful lasting memories we will cherish forever.

We used Bella Star Productions for our wedding videography and were thrilled with the outcome. From day one, Phil made us feel comfortable and put all our wedding fears at ease. He was always responsive to my emails and answered my multiple questions patiently and promptly. His son David was our videographer the day of our wedding and he was a true professional. When we met with Phil for our initial meeting he assured us that they would document our wedding without interference. Phil and David were true to their word. We never felt pulled away from our guests or felt like the camera was in our face. David was prompt, professional and worked diligently all day and evening. David let us celebrate our special day and captured the day perfectly! I would highly recommend Bella Star Productions. Their work is beautiful and they are true professionals. Overall, it was a great experience.
