No. But I've heard of them and I live in Texas.. so I guess that's a good sign.Go and see their work-- there are a lot of photography styles and although they may be top-notch, they may have a style you don't like, such as: editorial, portrait, contemporary, etc.I preferred the editorial look. My photographer did portraits though, so he wanted everyone to look at the camera and smile. I kind of forced him to take editorial shots (odd angles, people acting as if the camera is NOT there). Those were my favorites. It depends on your style.

My cousin used them and I didn't like her pictures at all.Bella Photography is almost like a photography match. They work with a bunch of photographers and they take your date and send you whatever photographer they have who is available on your date to meet with you. So, they don't necessarily have an office and the photographers can differ greatly.Meet with them and see how you like it.

I haven't used them, but they are pretty pricey. I'm sure they do good work!

I'm a wedding planner/florist and have had clients who used them- fantastic. They go the extra mile and you're assured of having great pictures- they take a ton of them to pick through. I think they are pricey, but it IS a once-in-a-lifetime moment you're wanting caught on film, so maybe it's worth it :)Good luck!

I'm not familiar with Bella Photography but I can recommend another Pgh photog. This is the husband of a friend. He's also a photography prof at a local university. http://www.christophertoddphotography.com/

Bella is a nationwide operation. They contract photographers in various cities. They specialize in the candid style of photography, so you need to be sure this is the style you want. They do nice work, Bella does not hire poor photographers. But again, you may never meet your photographer until the day of the wedding. You are working with a company instead of an individual who owns his own business. I personally feel it is best to use a photographer who is not "hand-tied" to a corporation and can work with you on a much more personal basis. Just my two cents. Again, this is NO criticism on Bella, it is simply a different approach to wedding photography.Stevehttp://www.parrottimaging.com

We used Bella photography for our wedding on 8/4/07 in California. They were great and their prices are really reasonable. Our pictures turned out beautifully.Thing is that they are a nationwide outlet and it is kinda hit and miss. You could get a great photographer or someone awful. My experience was a good one though.
