    Great experience!

    Working with Bellagala was great! They were helpful on answering any of our questions, and getting us all set up for our wedding day. Our photographer, Darryl, was a fantastic choice, and made sure to diligently get all of the shots we wanted plus some that he recommended! We cannot wait to see how the final pictures turn out!

    Darryl was amazing!!!

    We worked with Darryl through Bellagala for our wedding and had such an amazing experience!! He was so professional while also being accommodating. He did a great job positioning us, having an uplifting attitude, and made the most of the time we had. We could tell he takes his work seriously and is driven by his passion, which comes through the photos. We also really appreciated that he cared what we wanted for our photos and our entire day. We recommend booking Darryl to anyone!!!

    Unexpected change, but they handled it like pros!

    We couldn’t have prayed for better photographers 😭😭😭. Darryl and Aaron are ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL😭🤩. Within the chaos of crazy changes during our wedding day, they were a source of such calm but also immaculate joy and positivity! They directed us so well and gave us amazing moments to remember. They clearly love what they do and it shows in their attention to detail and quality of their work.

    Now for videography...Denver is THAT GUY!! If you want a videographer with vision, attention to detail and experience?? Denver Dan is the one you want at your event🤩 My husband and I got to see some sneak peeks of the footage throughout the day and when I tell you we were blown away?!?! Hello!!! We are so grateful for having him capture our big day and we’re so hyped to see the finished product. Everyone adored them, and my husband and I both HIGHLY recommend them🥰.

    Caroline D. & Bellagala were terrific!

    We are very pleased with our experience using Bellaga for our daughter's wedding! Caroline D. was terrrific. She was very professional, even showing up 15 minutes early. She was efficient and thorough but did not become a distraction from the events of the day. She managed our large family and got pictures with everyone, even the children, all looking at the camera. She was very flexible and willing to take and photos requested by us or our guests. The photos are wonderful, clear, color balanced and a real expression of the day. Bellagala provided a great value for the services we recieved. The sales and customer service representatives were a pleasure to work with. They were flexible and responded in a timely manner to all inquires with professionalism and a genuine interest in helping. We couldn't be happier and highly reccommend using Bellaga and specifically Caroline D. for photography services.

    Bellagala Photo + Video's reply:

    Thank you for this incredibly thoughtful review! We are so glad we could be a small part of your daughters day! Cheers!

    Outstanding!

    My Fiancé and I had the pleasure to work with Domenica for photography and Boris for videography.

    The most important aspect to our wedding for my fiancé was photography and we were both immediately impressed by Domenica's portfolio. She brought such sincere care and interest in knowing what our vision was and what details mattered to us. She was so easy to work with and brought such a positive/calming energy on the day of the wedding. So happy we had Domenica as our photographer!

    Boris brought so much enthusiasm to the venue and obviously loves what he does. My guests found his energy contagious and brought plenty of smiles to everyone's faces (perfect for the footage he captured).

    Photography Review

    Brandi was absolutely amazing to work with when planning our wedding. She understood all the things we were looking for. She was not only a great photographer, but became such a great friend to have during our planning process.

    Breathtaking & Meaningful

    Incredible. That's the first word to come to mind! Aubrey was so professional, lovely, creative, calm, and literally invisible the WHOLE night!! Yet she somehow captured every. single. detail and meaningful moment.

    I will forever cherish my photos, and I'm so grateful I found Bellagala.

    Excellent - very happy with this vendor

    Completely professional and well run company. Shelly, our photographer in the Raleigh/Durham area, covered our wedding from morning through evening and the photos are beautiful! Not only was her work excellent, but she was pro-active in contacting me (the bride) and communicating with me all through the pre-wedding preparations. That day, Shelly was kind, gracious, sweet, smiling and very accommodating to our spontaneous requests.

    Great photography

    With everything going on with Covid, those at Bellagala were so helpful figuring out what they were able to do to still capture our special day. Nicole was our photographer and she was so kind and helpful. She was able to get a wide range of photos inside and outside. We would highly recommend this company for weddings, engagement shoots, etc.

    We loved the photos that Brandi Leigh took! They were beautifully captured. Whenever we go back through them, we get to relive those wonderful moments all over again.

    Best photographer I've ever had

    Brandi Leigh was amazing. Me and my now husband hate taking pictures, but Brandi made it truly enjoyable and it showed in the pictures. Absolutely loved her and will definitely use again.

    Awesome job, thanks Darryl!!

    Darryl was a wonderful photographer, we loved his interpersonal style and skills. He had a lot of ideas for poses for my husband and I. If you’re looking for a passionate and creative photographer, Darryl’s your guy!

    Great photos! Minimal editing

    I had my wedding photographs and engagement photos through Bellagala. My photographer was great!!! My only reason for 4/5 vs 5/5 is that they do not do any large/larger photo editing. Example: shadows under chin, weird lighting, people/cars in background of outdoor photos. Great price, easy communication, and great photographer (Brandi).

    Great value for wedding photography

    Our photographer Brandi was wonderful to work with! She really went above and beyond to meet with us several times to figure out our timeline and discuss the photos we wanted. She is also a very sweet and funny person, which helped make us (especially my husband, who hates taking pictures!) feel more comfortable in front of the camera. We were pleased by the fast turnaround (~3 weeks) for both our engagement and wedding photos and the online gallery was easy to share with friends and family. However, because it is a company editing team rather than the photographers doing the editing, you do not get all some of the artistic touches seen more with independent photographers (e.g., different lighting and color filters, editing out things like power lines or cars in the background). Overall, Bellagala is a great value compared with the ridiculously high prices we saw for some independent photographers, especially if very artsy photos are not that important to you.

    Nightmare Wedding Photographer But SOMEHOW A Happy Ending

    My son and daughter in law got married 7/12/2025. Our Photographer did a terrible job, there was a whole SD card of missing family photos. The photos were irreplaceable and I was devastated. Our photographer took low quality photos and everything candid. My heart was devastated and my only hopes of having these photos that were lost. Phil the director from Belagala is extremely empathetic and professional and refunded us the cost of the Photographer. But we were still beyond devastated since we did not have those missing pictures. I was so elated with Gregory who did not give up. Gregory tirelessly searched and searched and found the pictures on another couples wedding SD card. Gregory from Belagala is kind, empathetic and a true professional. We now have all our pictures and although photographer was extremely amateur Gregory really went the extra mile to improve the quality and even did some WOW photos for my son and daughter in law. I understand that it is not Bellagala’s fault for a photographer that slipped through without the proper credentials. It is part of life. I can say I would 100% recommend Belagala based on the outstanding tireless service of Gregory doing everything to make it right. Honestly that says a lot about the company and Phil was also wonderful. I will always be thankful to Gregory who is a 5 ⭐️ all the way for what he did for our family. We now have these precious irreplaceable memories.

    The Worst Photographer

    Bellagala's videographer fucked up my weeding's video. Now I have nothing to show my children. He fucked it up.
