Bellagala Photography

Our photographer Troy was fantastic! He made us feel very comfortable and came up with great locations for our engagement and wedding pictures. His pictures are very creative and he is a fun guy to spend the day with. We would recommend him to anyone. Our DJ Andy did a great job too and respected all of our wishes and requests.

The whole Bellagala team was wonderful to work with! We had several things change during the course of our planning, and they were there to help every step of the way. They created packages to fit our budget, and helped ensure we had the most service for our money. They kept me updated at every planning stage, and when it came to the day, it could not have gone better. Our photographer (Troy), helped us to relax, have fun, and trust that our pictures were going to be beautiful. He and his assistant were not intrusive at all, most of the time we didn't even realize they were snappy photographs. Plus they had very creative ways of capturing the 'feel' of our event and the people who were a part of it. I really cannot say enough about this company as a whole.

Both our photographer and our DJ were fabulous. We got over 800 pictures and 8 hours of photographs to commemorate our special day! Our DJ played what we wanted and what our guests requested and people danced all night! It was great! It was easy to book and easy to work with. Bella Gala took care of all the set up and take down and I didn't have to worry about a thing! I would recommend this group to anyone who wants an easy, affordable low-stress way to set up their wedding.

Bellagala is a great company were you can find a variety of services for your wedding in one stop. Jason was our photographer and he was amazing!!! He was able to creatively capture the emotions of our wedding day. He was great to work with for our engagement pictures and on the actual day. He had good ideas for us and also took our suggestions. The coffee table album that they put together was fabulous!

Bella Gala was Awesome! I had full control of the music played for my reception (which I was able to to list all requested songs ahead of time - plus provide a CD with any music they did not already have) & had an absolute blast! I woudl recommend them to anyone who wants to have a great time and not have to worry that your music will suck! **The sound was great too - no feedback at all in a huge building (Christos - Union Depot St. Paul, MN)

The photographers at Bellagala were able to capture our wedding day without becoming intrusive. We hardly noticed that they were there! We especially appreciated the candid shots that made our photos more 'real.' The staff that came out to our events stayed longer than we expected them to and was able to photograph some great moments at our reception's dance. Highly recommended.

Bellagala provided our sound system for outdoor ceremony and DJ. Very easy to work with, everything went well.

Randi our photographer was great, she made everyone feel at ease. Although we are still waiting to see our pics, i'm sure they will look great.

Bellegala was a great service to me at my wedding. They provided photography and a dj and I was very impressed by both. My photographer was wonderful and very professional allowing the day to go by smoothly. The dj kept everyone dancing all night! I would highly reccomend Bellegala.

Bellagala offered good deals for a DJ and Photography package. The DJ was friendly and created a good atmosphere. The photography was good although a few pictures turned out blurry. The provided us with a choice of photographers as well as two photographers for the day. Overall I was very pleased with the price for the quality of work done.

Randi is the best photographer! It is a little pricey, but well worth it. Not any more than many of the of the other photographers out there. The only thing that would make it better is if we could have received all the photos taken rather than just 100 per hour. We love our photos and love Randi. My husband had really wanted to use shotguns (unloaded of course:)) in his shots with his gm and even since they couldn't do it in the city Randi took them to her house just to make sure he could have exactly what they wanted. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

We had a wonderful experience working with the personnel from Bellagala. We planned our wedding from long distance, and the staff were great at working us to provide the best options for signing contracts, meeting personnel, obtaining information, etc... from halfway across the country. I communicated with staff primarily through email and the responsiveness was prompt. The service providers (photographers, DJ, hairstylists) were fantastic. They accomodated our requests and were easy to work with. We definitely would recommend the services to anybody.

They give discounts for multiple services, as well as a consultation. Photography still needs tweeking; sometimes we didn't get our pictures and had to request them again. Sometimes they didn't return my messages. But I think these are things that anyone would find at any vendor. Overall, this is a first class organization and I would do business with them for sure.

Bella Gala did my ceremony music, DJ for the reception, and my photography. They are a bit expensive I have to say, but totally worth the money. For the music I got to select what I wanted to make my special day flow. If they didn't have it and I could provide it they arranged to make it work. The DJ continuiously checked in with us throughout the night. It was a grand reception. The photography packages were great to choose from. We got our engagement session included and got a 10 hour package. We even got all the proofs and copyright to the discs. They were flexible and the photographers were great and open to ideas. I highly recommend them.

Bellagala provided our phtographer (2 actually) and videographer (2 also) and I was very happy with both services! We had one wrinkle when the photographer who did our engagement pics left the company not too long before the wedding and I actually found out from her and not the company first but they explained she just left and they weren't sure what her status was until they found out she had been emailing her clients. Somthing wasn't right there, but they immediately sent a photographer with a similar style to meet us and offered to do another engagement shoot for free so we could get to know her. She was fabulous (Randy)! The one thing I wish they would have done was sit down with us and come up with a photo list. I know I should've/could've done this one my own, but in all the last minute hustle it got dropped. I still had great pics and didn't miss anything but I wish I would've thought through things a little more.

I have very mixed reviews for Bellagala because I used their DJ and photography services. The DJ was WONDERFUL. Everything was excellent with the DJ Bellagala provided us with. Photography was another story. Our photographer was a wonderful person, very fun to work with. Our engagement pictures at Minnehaha Falls turned out awesome. Everything went great on the wedding day, I felt the pictures were going to be to die for. We received our pictures back after the wedding and they were all great except for the pictures inside the church that we took before the wedding. All our family pictures were out of focus on the right side of every picture. Group pictures, family pictures, individual pictures - they were all out of focus on the one side. It's been hard to get pictures printed larger then 4x6 because everything is so out of focus. Bellagala wasn't into working with me at all on the problem. They said they were supposed to be that way. NO WAY would any bride want their photos to be out of focus. They finally agreed to refund so - not much of our money. But I would rather have had not out of focus pictures. I will add that the rest of our photos were phenomenal!

My photographs are horrible. I spent over $3000 for this photography service and did not get my money's worth. I was supposed to get some photo albums with my purchase, but do not even have enough good pictures to make an album. Even though I spent over $3000 they are only willing to refund me the $650 which is the cost to them to make the albums. So really, no skin off their back and they are not willing to admit to any wrongdoing. According to Troy, our photographer, (who is also the general manager of this company) he thinks our photos are "exceptional". I beg to differ and will be filing a complaint with the better business bureau. I will also be telling everyone I know and every venue I can find on the internet what a horrible job was done and how unwilling they are to fix their mistake. Only the most important of my life, why should they care when they've already got the money?
