As a very picky "Bride-to-Be", it was a tough sell going with what originally seemed like a larger photography chain. I had read all the message boards on theknot about what to look for in a photography company and I have to admit, I was skeptic. Much to my surprise, Bella Pictures exceeded my expectations in both the competence of their customer service and professionalism of their photographers. My consultant was incredible during the planning phase and leading up to my wedding day, and the photographer that I was matched with couldn't have been a better fit had I hand-selected him myself. Bella takes a lot of time to listen to what you're looking for and there is even an online photo rating system that helps to pin-point your exact photography style. They claim to only work with "the best," and I am here to affirm that that is true. My photographer was not only super friendly and a lot of fun to work with, the photos turned out beautiful and I barely remembered him being there! My only complaint was that I had too many favorite photos to fit into my 40 page album. My wedding book is in the final stages of being printed and bound and I will be sure to follow up on here once I receive it. The way that the photography comes together in this "storyboard-like" format is amazing to me as paging through my online album proof was like reliving the day all over again. Best of all, I own all of my digital photos on printable discs and I received them right away. When shopping around, there was really nothing that compared... at least not for the quality I wanted and the professionalism that I couldn't afford to compromise. For the best value and overall experience = Bella Pictures A++
Pros: Copyrights on DVD given immediately, fantastic talent and really sweet consultant
Cons: Its not really a con, seeing as I loved my photographer, but there's a need to trust their "matching" system.
