Hi everyone
This is a bit of a long post but my FI and I would really appreciate your help.
We are in the process of securing all of our major wedding vendors and I''ve stumbled upon some difficulty trying to select an appropriate photographer.
While we have an extensive list of Seattle based photographers we are in the process of interviewing, I came across Bella Pictures, http://www.bellapictures.com/, one night on The Knot and given their comprehensive packages, within my budget, I figured that they might be worth considering so we proceeded to book a consultation with them, just for the heck of it.
The consultation far exceeded my expectations and I was not given the hard sell at all. I guess I was just expecting some slick salesperson who was going to pressure us into a sale. Instead, we were delighted to meet a friendly and knowledgable consultant who was interested in what we were looking for for our wedding photography and was only there to share what Bella could offer.
Given that there is SOOO much negative feedback online, some legitimate, some not - I am really leery and am interested in knowing/hearing about any PS experiences with Bella pictures.
1) Have you used Bella pictures before?
If so, would you recommend them - Why or Why not?
2) If you would not recommend Bella pictures - are there any Seattle based photographers you would be happy to recommend?
Any assistance/suggestions that you are able to provide, in this regard, are greatly appreciated!!
Here is a list of some of the other Seattle based photographers we are considering but some might be just a little outside of our budget ...
Any feedback/recommendations?
