Loved the look from aunt's wedding

Andy was the photographer for both our engagement photos and our wedding day! He was absolutely excellent and very professional. You can tell he has a lot of experience and cares so much about his work and making your day perfect. He was very helpful with planning and making sure that we could fit in all our desired pictures within our time frame. It was great getting to work with him for our engagement session first because then we were more comfortable for our wedding photos. He will take any snapshots you want and comes up with super creative ideas on the spot based on your venue, good lighting, outfits, and etc! He was so much fun to work with and made sure that we got all the shots we wanted! We emailed and talked with him via phone a few times before the wedding to make sure everything was planned properly and followed the timeline. He is great at working on the fly and keeps everything stress-free!!! Would recommend 20/10!!!

Andrew was nothing short of amazing at our wedding (and engagement session). Andrew very quickly caught onto our wedding party’s vibe and was very fun, enjoyable, efficient, creative and punctual. Andrew really was the whole package and totally delivered for our wedding. Our entire wedding party was totally impressed with Andrews fun and outgoing personality and creative abilities. He was willing to try and of our ideas and totally blew us away with his creative twist on each of them. Just previewing the shots on his camera gave us the goosebumps. We would ten-thousand percent recommend Andrew to anyone getting married.

We booked Andrew for our wedding after hearing great things from the Bellagala team. We had planned a Western ceremony and reception at Van Dusen Mansion, but with several tweaks (no wedding party, non-religious ceremony, etc). Andrew took time to discuss the details of our vision and was very knowledgeable about the venue. He worked closely with the Van Dusen staff and other vendors to come up with a good timeline for the day’s proceedings. This made sure we had ample time for photos without feeling rushed through the ceremony or reception. Andrew and Brian, the second shooter, did a great job capturing us getting ready and just hanging out in the mansion. They were able to capture nuances and intimate moments without being intrusive. When it came to couple photos Andrew was very creative, suing the inside and outside of the mansion to highlight our outfits and interactions. We don’t generally like being photographed and didn’t know how to pose for formal photos. Andrew guide... Read mored us through this process and we are in awe of the final results. He used a lot of his own lighting and was constantly swapping out flashes, lenses, etc. He also had great ideas about using props and taking action shots. Andrew photographed the ceremony in a deeply personal way, highlighting our important moments without making us look too emotional! He also did a great job with guest photos during the ceremony and cocktail hour. We snuck out briefly during the cocktail hour to take some evening shots and he was respectful of our time and health – it was very cold… During the reception, speeches and the dancing afterwards Andrew was tireless. He was constantly roaming around getting different shots, interactions, and so on. When the night was wrapping up he was drenched in sweat but visibly happy and engaged. He decided to take a couple of final photos of us near the dancefloor and it is some of our favorite shots of the night. This speaks to his commitment and passion for making the couple look their best. We are so, so happy with Andrew’s photos and cannot imagine another photographer for our wedding. We would love to take Andrew with on our honeymoon, to family and work events, and just about everywhere we go – his photos are almost better than real life 😊

Meagan W. was SO easy to work with, so much fun and she is so talented! I am so excited to see more of my wedding photos. She did such a fabulous job with our engagement photos and making us feel at ease. The day of the wedding, she came in and got some amazing shots! I couldn't be happier!

Working with Andrew P. was 100% one of the best parts of our wedding day! He was so inviting, nice, caring and fun! He mingled with guests and made sure to capture all the moments that we will get to treasure forever with his beautiful work! Andrew listened to us and really took the time to get to know us and understand who we are. This made taking our photos fun and stress free. Andrew was always smiling and having a good time, it is clear that he is passionate about his work. Would 10000% recommend !

Enthusiastic, professional, attn to detail, andrew and brian did a great job. Thoughtful pictures and professionalism abound. Highly recommeded by the bride and groom.

Andrew Parfenov was the best photographer we could ask for. He took the time to understand us and what we wanted than captured it all with breath taking photos. He was a master of lighting and capturing the perfect moment. I would also recommend the second photographer, our captured the moments in between. We could not have had a better experience and better photos!

Meagan W. was our Bellagalla photographer for our big day. From the onset, Meagan understood our personalities and took charge of the process. During the planning period, she was prompt in all responses and was flexible with our busy schedules. The day of, you could tell she was extremely passionate about her work and really cared about getting every shot. She directed us and made us feel comfortable while we are usually very stiff around the cameras. The initial shots we have received are amazing and we could not have asked for a better experience. I would definitely recommend!

We had the honor of working with Jeannine from Bellagala for our wedding as well as our engagement pictures. She was an absolute dream to work with. I am in love with every single picture that she gave back to us. She is super friendly and makes sure to get pictures with everyone smiling. My husband does not always know how to smile but she knew exactly how to get him to have a real smile in basically every picture! I cannot rave enough about how amazing she was and how passionate she is about her job. I can’t want to use her in the future for other family pictures.

Keighla and Meg were so awesome! Very professional and super fun to work with. They both definitely made our day amazing. They made being in front of the camera so easy, laughable and enjoyable. I had never met Keighla or Meg before our wedding day so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I picked Keighla straight off her bio. Normally people do an engagement session with their photographer to get an understanding of how they work but we didn’t. We had one phone call and exchanged multiple emails before our wedding day. I told Keighla, this is your world so just tell us what you want us to do. She gave great direction and said all the right things to make us laugh and smile like this was something we did every day. Keighla not only had great ideas for pictures but her vision of different scenery throughout the venue was awesome. They both got great candid shots of guests and the venue. We are so thankful for Keighla and Meg for making our day so great and capturing the most perfec... Read moret day for us. You both are truly amazing!

Of all my wedding vendors, I was the pickiest about my photographer. Which makes sense since it's the only vendor where what I am paying for lasts longer than the actual wedding day. Andrew did not disappoint us at all. He is an incredibly gifted photographer and really knows how to work with people. I felt like the three of us really clicked when he took our engagement photos and it put us at ease for the actual wedding knowing that Andrew was a professional but that we all got along and were on the same page. He was always in search of the perfect backdrop, would stop dead in his tracks if he found great lighting and went to great lengths to find the perfect shot, which I appreciated. And all that hard work on his end definitely paid off because his photos were STUNNING! I would choose Andrew to photograph anything and I highly recommend you book him if he is available.

We were married in September, and I was thrilled to have Kayla as our photographer. My husband and I are not particularly gung-ho about picture taking, so it was nice to have Kayla (and her assistant, both were great) there to provide direction for us. Our pictures felt and look very natural, and we LOVE our collection from the day. I also really appreciated the privacy she gave us at the start of our first look session - it was one of the few moments I had to share one-on-one with my husband that day. Really special. Would highly recommend Kayla!

We had Andrew Parfenov as our photographer from Bellagalla and we would highly recommend him. We were impressed with his portfolio and even more impressed with our own photos once we received them back. He was so easy to work with and kept everything flowing smoothly and in a timely manner. On your wedding day you have a million things going on and you want someone professional who knows what they're doing to capture everything that you missed in the moment. Andrew was the perfect additional to our wedding team. Thank you again, Andrew for everything; 10/10 would recommend to anyone getting married.
