  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!

  Just amazing!

  Katie was seriously the best person ever she was just so great with how she was as a person but her pictures are just to die for I couldn’t be more happy with Katie Compo she exceeded ever expectation and then some. She even pulled my dad out to the dance floor for the surprise drummers we had for him! I couldn’t have asked for anyone else but her to be there just there are not enough good things I could say!

  Katie C created a perfect day and perfect photos

  Katie was fantastic to work with. She was good about reaching out early and finding out about us as a couple. During the day, she was extremely flexible and went with the flow while also stepping in and making sure good shots weren't missed. She struck a good balance of letting us choose and using her expertise to further enhance the day. We received the pictures back yesterday, and they were wonderful. Our wedding was outdoors, and scenery popped in every pic!

  Outstanding photographer!

  We absolutely loved Nikki S! She was incredible to work with. She has great vision and has an eye for both classic and creative shots. She is so kind, patient, and calm. We were blown away by the photos she took of our engagement, wedding ceremony, and reception. Would absolutely recommend to everyone! We will be finding more reasons to use her again in the future!
  Bellagala was also great to work with. They were accommodating, organized, had quick response time, and connected us with a great photographer.

  We LOVED Katie Compo!!!!

  I literally cannot even remotely begin to describe how amazing Katie Compo was. So helpful, so fun - all around INCREDIBLE. It was more than I could've hoped for our wedding photography experience. She worked so hard and has an incredible eye for photography. Our wedding day would not have been the same without her. She had an extra little sewing kit to help my mom with her corsage, and she had extra bobby pins in her hair when an unruly curl fell out of my updo. Above and beyond. Bellagala itself is great too - easy payment scheduling, great notes for the photographers, very organized. However, Katie was the real star for us. Loved, loved, loved her. Book Katie Compo!!!

  Amazing Photographer

  We got paired with Katie through Bellagala and I could not be happier with the match! I am a list and organized person and Katie was amazing with my lists! She helped my day flow so much easier. On top of all the crazy COVID craziness we had to change venues 30 days from our wedding and Katie made everything feel so much easier. Katie was great the entire time and you would’ve thought she knew us for so long. She took charge and made me feel so much less stressed about making sure that we got all of the photos that I wanted. She made sure to check in with me throughout the night to make sure that we got everything I wanted. I believe we hit the jackpot with her. June was our videographer she was great. She communicated great with me before the wedding.

  Great experience with Bellagala!

  Katie Compo with Bellagala was fantastic. If you need someone who treats you with genuine care and concern AND calms all your nerves AND takes great pictures, this is your girl. After our engagement session with her, I was actually looking forward to wedding photos! She made everything so easy and fun! My husband and I are not overly enthusiastic about having our pictures taken, but that changed with Katie! Book her. You won't regret it.

  Absolutely Magical -we love Katie Compo!!

  My (now) husband and I had the pleasure of working with Katie Compo and she was absolutely phenomenal! From the first moment we communicated on the phone until the last photo she captured on our big day, she was super easy going, attentive and helpful. She knew just what to do, and she managed all the crazy flawlessly. She was always in just the right place at just the right time and captured some absolutely magical moments! She worked well under pressure, kept a smile on and her lens focused! Even though we hadn’t met in person before it felt like she was a part of the family before the night was over. Everyone agreed, she was the truth and she brought fresh ideas for our photos! Humble, bright, talented, intuitive patient and funny…all words that come to mind when we think of Katie. Thanks so much!! You absolutely were a huge part of making our day magical and amazing! Hands down we would work with her again and recommend her for sure!! It was like she tuned in and connected with us and really helped make the day feel like a real life fairy tale! We are blessed and grateful!

  Great Choice

  Our photographer Samantha Beach and her second shooter Alex Guy made us comfortable and helped us put together a timeline that would work for our day. The quality you receive (and we received our photos back 2-4 weeks earlier than expected) for the price was unbeatable.

  Loved my photos!!

  It was a little rough in the beginning with communication, but once a contract was agreed on things were good. Our photographer was great, punctual and very nice! Our pics took only a month.
