My entire life, I have always been an artist and super creative. I have been shooting for a little over 9 years now. WOW it feels so weird saying that. I am so honored to get to do what I do everyday and I seriously wouldn't have it any other way. I started off with a little point and shoot camera where I took photos of my friends to make them feel beautiful and then continued to grow and grow to where I am today. I am naturally energetic and will be your #1 hype woman throughout the entire day.

Sami was the most amazing photographer. She was so fun and easy to work with. Her photos were GORGEOUS. I had the most amazing experience working with her and her team. I would recommend her 10/10.

  • Serves California, PA

Hello! We hope to meet you soon, but until then, we'd love for you to learn a little about us. When we don't have a camera in our hands or a computer in our laps, we love exploring nature with hikes, bike rides, and long road trip adventures in our Jeep. We also enjoy camping in remote places, playing with our two crazy dogs, working on projects around the house, and trying to not be the worst gardeners in the Pittsburgh area! We are also extremely passionate about creating beautiful photos and videos that make it easy for people to relive some of the happiest moments of their lives for the rest of their lives.

Steph was everything I could have wanted and more. She was with me from 10 in the morning until 10 at night, and she captured every moment! Anytime I would think to grab her for a photo she would just APPEAR. She was amazing at capturing all the small moments that go missed. She caught the joy and excitement from our family and friends. She was extremely courteous, positive, and offered great suggestions for photos as well. She was wonderful to work with and was very quick to respond back with any questions. This woman ran up and down a flight of stairs, quietly, during my ceremony to catch every different angle. She is committed to getting that perfect shot and she delivers. She's AMAZING!

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co.

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves California, PA

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

OLAS were the easiest vendor I worked with throughout the wedding process. Their quick and efficient communication gave me the peace of mind I needed when it came to wedding photos. I had a very specific vision for our imagery, and OLAS and our photographer were more than accommodating as I neurotically guided some photos. Our photographer came equipped with a great attitude and even better skills in capturing our day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photography experience.

Your photographer will be one of the most important vendors you select, period. The photographers that Bellagala has hand-selected all have a photojournalistic base but have also developed their own sense of style, and a skill set that is unique to each of them through years of shooting weddings. Each of our wedding photographers, even at the Apprentice level, are subject to a thorough evaluation process before being invited to join the Bellagala team, and we ensure they have a solid record of client service and a strong creative portfolio. We promise you will love their work.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Andrew Parfenov through Bellagala as our wedding photographer and couldn't be happier. We were looking for a photographer with a strong visual voice and a good mix of non-traditional/dramatic portraits and photojournalistic (candid) photos in their portfolio. Andrew brought the drama, the joy, and so much more! From the get-go, Andrew was a delight to work with - he shot our engagement photos and helped us find and arrange a venue for them - and immediately set us at ease. He goes above and beyond to get the perfect shot, the perfect lighting, the perfect pose. On our wedding day, Andrew took the lead on finding locations for photos around our venue, posing us/our bridal party/our family, and finding moments for candid shots at the reception. Multiple family members have reached out after the wedding to tell us how much they enjoyed Andrew's approach and how at ease they felt with him. If you're considering Andrew for your special occasion, book him - we can't recommend him highly enough!

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves California, PA

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Maya is one of the most wonderful, genuine, and detailed photographers I've ever met, and I've worked with a lot of photographers in my line of work! My partner and I chose Maya first for our engagement photos because of their dynamic, warm style, and ended up enjoying working with them so much that we decided to book them for our wedding! My partner is quite shy and doesn't enjoy his photo being taken, but Maya made him feel so comfortable and confident. We are an LGBTQ couple, and Maya made us feel so valid and loved expressing who we are. Maya was so communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process, and constantly provided us with resources to help us with our general planning. Maya and their co-photographer took so much care and detail on the day of the wedding to get every small detail to every huge moment. Everything worked like literal clockwork, everything felt super chill and fun, and even shooting large family photos (with way too many cousins) ended up being a breeze! Maya truly cares about their work, especially their clients. We could not recommend Maya enough!!!

The quiet glances, the bursts of laughter, the tears of joy—each frame is a memory, preserved forever. — Caz Isaiah

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.
