I cannot express enough how INCREDIBLE everyone at Bella Tiamo is to work with! My fiancé and I had to postpone our wedding a couple of times and they were so accommodating, positive, professional, and helpful throughout the whole experience. Right from the start on my wedding day I was so excited to meet the team! They were SO sweet, punctual, and so personable with everyone! They even posted a short mini teaser at the reception on the SAME day to show our guests! Myself, along with everyone at the wedding were in absolute awe with how incredible the mini clip turned out. I cannot wait to see the whole entire video! Everyone at the wedding was asking who I used and what their contact information was because they were so impressed. The team at Bella tiamo is unbeatable! You guys are SO talented.. thank you so much for capturing all the beauty on my special day and for making me one happy bride! Thank you Bella ti amo team and a SPECIAL thank you to Danny, Kyle, and Travis!! You guys are amazing and I will forever recommend you all!

The Bella Tiamo team is SO worth it! The photography, videography, and editing skills that this team has honed over their 8 years working together is something I, my husband, and our families were all thankful to be a part of. They are professional and reliable people and they produce beautiful works of art starring you and your loved ones! I am honestly getting emotional writing this because I will cherish having those memories to look back on for the rest of my life. :-) We wish we had done a longer video, so if youre even considering it, go all in! It might seem expensive but it is truly worth it for the priceless moments the Bella Tiamo team captures. It was worth every penny overall but what stood out to me the most was their video editing skills and how unique the finished product is. Even the music they used for the video pleasantly surprised me as I thought they picked up on the vibes of the day and our style very well. Take full advantage of this teams talent and varied learned experience for your wedding or event, you will not regret it!

Travis, David, and the Bella Tiamo team have been on a long journey with Casey and I, one that began in 2019 and has been extended through 2021. We chose them for their comforting and friendly demeanor, their creativity and attention to detail, and experience with the newest technologies. All of these preliminary reasons have played out 10 fold, from the incredible engagement pictures & video, to our intimate family wedding which they also captured via photography, live stream, and a fun custom video. Their photography is printed and hanging throughout the homes of our family and friends! I would highly recommend this talented photo & video team for all of your special events!

The absolute best!I spoke with Travis and even though it was a phone call I felt comfortable with him and his studio right away! After booking they were there for support all the way through. Right before the wedding we met up and went over all the details. You can tell right away that this was not their first wedding from the years of expertise they brought to our meeting. Going over the timeline, giving us suggestions, and really caring about how our wedding day was set up and structured. Most importantly you could tell they really cared about us as a couple.Everything after the wedding came out amazing and we love to show it off to all of our friends and family. Travis even told me other couples have seen our film that dont even know us and it makes them tear up. That goes to show you just how powerful their wedding films are! I would recommend Bella Tiamo Photo and Video to anyone! Stop your search right now and give Travis and his team a call!!!

Absolute Life Savers!! Bella came in as a last minute booking for my clients when it looked like there was no resolution in sight. They were super helpful, professional, and quick to respond. Also, their work turned out absolutely amazing! So thankful we had a last minute cancellation and got to pivot to Bella... now they are a TOP recommendation to all of my clients! Can not say thank you enough to this team!! Hope we get to work together again soon.

Theyre professional and make their customers feel comfortable when taking the photography and videos of their big day. Its really fun to watch them in action :) You can tell they have a strong passion for what they do. You wont be disappointed :D

After multiple cancellations (we were originally supposed to get married in March/April 2020), my brother-in-law was able to secure a spot at the Four Seasons St. Louis on August 15th, which if this wasnt COVID times, would be a literal miracle. Thus started the craziest two weeks of our lives - both of our families went above and beyond to create a beautiful hybrid event for less than 50 of our closest friends and family. We let Bella Tiamo know what was going on, assuming that this exciting find would mean we were losing our favorite vendor. Once again, they understood. When we were just 10 days out, Travis reached out again and truly went above and beyond. He offered to come down to St. Louis, stay with family nearby, and recruit another photographer from the area to add to his team and save costs on our end. This was the second time I cried during wedding planning, but this time happy tears.Bella Tiamo gave us 9 hours of coverage, including incredible photography, a near impeccable livestream (our virtual guests said it literally felt like they were there), and breathtaking videography. The only complaints we had about that day were things outside of our vendors control - we planned everything so quickly, of course there were imperfections. But the photography and videography we received just two months later (with lovely teaser trailers/pictures throughout the wait) were entirely worth the money.They honored our requests, stayed later than we asked, and supported us throughout the entire process. They were seemingly invisible but also everywhere. The work is stunning, our friends and family consistently say its the best wedding photography/videography theyve ever seen. We are grateful everyday we made this decision, and highly recommend Bella Tiamo to anyone who prioritizes photography/videography on their wedding day.Thank you, thank you, thank you again to Travis and the entire Bella Tiamo team!- Kelsey & Ahad

Just sitting here crying tears of happiness at how beautiful our wedding video is! I have a few words of advice for you: If you’re looking to work with a videography team that genuinely cares about you and your event, then you NEED to hire Bella Tiamo Photo & Video for your next event!I am BEYOND happy that we chose Travis and his team to film our wedding day! From the moment we decided to work with them to the moment we received our final films, Travis and his team have been INCREDIBLE to work with! One of the things I loved most is that I never felt like I was a burden to their team. Regardless of how many times I had questions, or how many times I wanted to reach out to confirm details for our big day, Travis and his team ALWAYS set aside time respond to my questions via email, or even offered to set up a phone call to talk through whatever I needed during the planning process! It honestly made things SO stress-free and I had NO doubts that their team would execute things perfectly on our wedding day, and that’s exactly what happened! 🙌I have honestly received SO many compliments on the videos that Travis and his team put together for us! There are SO many special moments that they were able to capture, and it’s such a special keepsake that I can’t wait to watch over and over again for years to come! I cannot thank Travis and everyone at Bella Tiamo Photo & Video enough for truly making our wedding day so special! There’s NO other videographer that we would have wanted to work with!! Now time to go watch our videos a million more times!! 😊

Travis, David, Ed and Emily were all amazing and did such an amazing job capturing our wedding! My husband and I could not be any happier with how well they were able to communicate and get in everything that we wanted. They were amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing them for your wedding needs! They sent us a sneak peek video within hours of the ending of our reception. Cant even think of when did they have the time to that!?! My parents and all those who had anything to say about the team had nothing but praise for them. They are professional and do such an amazing day getting the best moments of your day! Thank you so much!

My husband and I ran into Bella Tiamo at a wedding we attended in July 2016. My husband and I weren’t even engaged at the time, but we talked about how this is the best videography we have ever seen! The same day edit blew us out of the water, and couldn’t believe that something so amazing could be made in such a short amount of time! Fast forward to our engagement, they were one of the first vendors we hired!Travis and his team were beyond accommodating and are great at picking out locations for pictures from our engagement session to our wedding day! The team was always quick to respond, was very involved in our planning process, and make sure everything went flawlessly! During our wedding reception, we had numerous guests come up to us and ask about our photography and videography! Everyone (including ourselves!) absolutely loved the same day edit! It is such a great thing to have to share with your new spouse and your guests at the reception!My husband and I still watch our video and look through our pictures on a regular basis, even though we got married almost two years ago! Travis and his team were beyond personable, plus you could tell how passionate they were about their job. We couldn’t imagine having anyone else capture our journey of becoming husband and wife! If you are looking for a great team to catch your wedding day, look no further!

It’s hard to know where to start with how incredible Bella Tiamo is. They were my dream photo/video vendor for our wedding. My husband surprised me with booking them as a Valentine’s Day surprise and I was so excited! We had a big wedding scheduled for the fall of 2020 but due to the craziness of COVID, all those plans changed. Bella Tiamo was so great to work with during those challenging times. They were willing to work with us as we found a solution that made sense for us...a small wedding in Indiana, during the week, on a date that was important to us. Travis and David never faltered and made everything work so we could still have the wedding of our dreams and have it captured to remember. They arrived early, did wonderful work onsite at the wedding and reception. They went above and beyond to capture the essence of the day. They also get to know your story before they ever set foot at the wedding. We talked on the phone and answered all questions they had for us so they knew what was important to us. And the final product, photos, short film and full edit were incredible. Seriously incredible. I worked in event planning for a long while and have worked with a ton of vendors and I have never worked with anyone that is fun, personable, willing to talk through solutions and that just does incredible work. They have it all and I would recommend them 100 times over to anyone. Honestly, if you book them for your wedding, you will be forever grateful that you did. We are so blessed to have found them. Thank you, Bella Tiamo!! You really are the best of the best.

David and Travis captured our wedding. They showed up promptly and immediately began capturing the day. they edited and produced the film and photos professionally and captured the most important personal moments to finalize photos and video that we love and will always cherish. They definitely highly recommended upon our part. Thank you for everything!

Travis and his team did a wonderful job with our daughters wedding! His team communicated very well, asking our needs and concerns, visiting the venue the week of to walk through the day and location spotting. The day of we had no worries as they are true professionals and captured all the major opportunities and created custom ones as well. We would refer Bella Tiamo Photo & Video to everyone. They care and they understand the days importance.

We loved working with Travis from Bella Tiamo Photo & Video! I was on the fence about whether or not I wanted to hire a videographer for our wedding but after doing so and seeing the final product, I am so happy I did! The video was beautifully shot and perfectly edited - it looks like youre watching a movie! It has been so fun sharing the video with our friends and family - especially our grandparents who were unfortunately not able to attend our wedding. I know our wedding video will be something we treasure for years and years to come. I would definitely recommend hiring Bella Tiamo Photo & Video!

Not sure why there are negative reviews on here... Travis was an absolute delight to work with through the stress of wedding planning and of course on the day of. Video quality is fantastic, and Travis and the 2nd shooter were very professional and creative. Their style is very cinematic, which made our wedding day look like something out of a movie. I would, and have, recommended Bella to all of my friends and family who are getting married.

I found Bella Tiamo on Facebook and I’m so glad I did. I was watching my sisters friends’ wedding highlights video, crying my eyes out, wondering who these magicians were that put this together?!I then reached out to her and she gave me the contact information and I called right away. I got an immediate response, and interest in my business, which doesn’t sound like much but it meant a lot to me after having to leave voicemails for some other wedding photography companies and not even getting call backs.I spoke with Travis initially and he gave me information about all of the services, prices and details. Then he asked me when my fiancé and I could meet up with him and the photographer, David, to go over more details and get to know each other face to face. He had me fill out a questionnaire about what we were looking for and had me bring it to the meet up. It was at Starbucks and they were asking basic questions about how we met, how we got engaged, who were close to in our families, and stuff like that. Then they showed us a couple albums they’d done for couples and they had this one in a box, that had a screen at the top that played the video. We were so impressed, we picked a plan and put a deposit down right away.Months later, I got orders to deploy to Afghanistan and had to change my wedding date and see if all the vendors I’d chosen would be available. Luckily Travis and David were free the change of date day and switched all of the documents over without issue. To say they were flexible and accommodating is an understatement. He kept in touch every few weeks before the wedding to either reiterate details or answer some of my questions. And then on the wedding day, they were on prompt, diligent and kind. They got all of the shots they wanted without rushing us or being bossy or anything. Travis, his wife Emily and David work so well together. Everything was perfect. They very day after, at work I saw that I was tagged in an Instagram video, and it was a teaser from the wedding. That was so crazy! It hadn’t been 24 hours and I was watching myself and my husband at our wedding.The pictures and the videos didn’t take long at all to be finished and ready for my viewing. I ordered some prints, fast shipping, and those were the best quality pictures I’ve ever seen, everyone in my family agrees that they almost look 3D. The ONLY thing about Bella Tiamo that I wasn’t the biggest fan of is the way that we were given a link for all of the proofs and we could do free digital downloads to have for ourselves. I tried on multiple devices but it was either so slow it took hours or didn’t work half of the time to download. But we didn’t really have to worry about that in the end..We decided to order the hybrid photo/video album like we saw when we first met up. It was not cheap, but it was well worth it. Instead of picking photos for the album, after seeing the video, I trusted them to choose and I just gave a list of photos I did not want included. It took a long while for the album to get to us, like 8 months, which is absolutely nobody’s fault. I knew it would take a few months, but when corona virus shuts down the studio for a few weeks, that makes it take even longer. We did receive updates and apologies during the waiting period which was nice. We just waited patiently and Travis was kind enough to include our raw footage and some pictures on a flash drive for us as an apology for the long wait time. Not necessary but greatly appreciated.My album is here and is the focal point of our home! It came out amazing and we love to show it off. I don’t do reviews often, especially long ones like this, but for them I felt I had to, all in all, I would recommend Bella Tiamo Photo/Video to anybody and everybody!

Five out of Five!I was highly impressed with them. David and Travis are incredibly friendly and easy to work with, which made our wedding day at ease. They called me a few weeks prior to the wedding to talk about the wedding and discuss items that are important to me, which was wonderful because they knew everything that was happening, even surprises that were happening and he was able to capture those moments. We hired them for Videography, but had also used them for photographer when our main photographer was not available. Our main photographer was from a different company, who we were not impressed with at all and was lucky enough to have David be a photographer as well. Not only were we impressed with their creativity with their videography, but also with his pictures. When I received the pictures from Bella Tiamo, I seriously was put into tears of how beautiful everything turned out. I know from experience and word of mouth from other brides, that the one of the stressful things that is dealt with prior to the wedding, day of, and after, is the photographer and videographer. We are putting all of our trust into their hands to capture every beautiful and memorable moments, we want to be able to show off the pictures and video to others of our special day and not be embarrassed. Bella Tiamo Photo & Video is high on my list and I highly recommend them to anyone getting married. I want to say that I am one lucky bride to have experienced working with David and Travis!

David had filmed a number of weddings with and for me over the years. His work is head and shoulders above the rest and hes always be a total professional with my brides. If you go to his Vimeo page there are more than 20 drop dead gorgeous wedding films of real weddings that speak for his professionalism more than words can say. - Jake Miller Photo
