Weddings by Sal & Bella

e best decisions we made. Chrissy and Matthew are one of a kind. We were nervously excited for our engagement shoot, and within literally 5 frames, Chrissy and Matthew put us both at ease. They knew exactly how to direct us to get great shots, and it comes very naturally to them. The same thing happened on our wedding day. Every minute counts on such an important day, and they know exactly how to direct you, your bridal party, and family to get beautiful shots but with efficiency. They were timely, professional, efficient, and confident. They took the lead when appropriate, and knew how to ‘blend in’ during the special moments as well. They were able to achieve fantastic lighting in a darker reception setting. They also worked very well with our videographer, and made it feel like they were one big team. I appreciate her attention to detail with shooting and also with editing. We were blown away with our final album, and have so much joy when looking through the photos of the day. She was able to capture all of the ‘classic’ wedding moments, and also all of the candid ones. She captured all of the energy and love from not just us and our bridal party, but our guests too. They have my highest recommendation to any bride!

very great at communication. They made our wedding one to remember!

go above and beyond to capture every perfect shot. They truly listened to us and made sure to take photographs of everything that was of importance to us. They were conscientious, thorough and courteous. They did a great job of capturing more “natural” posed shots rather than trying to manipulate uncomfortable poses, and they really put us at ease (we’re not the most comfortable posing in photos). I would recommend these two to anyone looking for photos for any special event. They are wonderful and they truly make sure that they capture everything that is meaningful to you. The best duo photographers in Pittsburgh.

ll ever know. Leading up to the day, the communication with Chrissy was always prompt and so endearing. You can truly see how much they love doing what they do and doing it together. As soon as we were moving around Matthew was right there helping anyone out, making sure they don’t fall or need an extra hand. Chrissy knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and her vision is unreal. These two will literally stand in the freezing cold rain for you, so you can get the picture of your dreams ... no questions asked. Their selflessness, love for photography, and support can not be matched. You can not get a better duo to shoot your wedding! They are the best!!!

d with the punches and helped us through. They are the epitome of professionalism and are a joy to be around! We enjoyed their company and their work so much that we have asked them to join us again to take photos for our 1st anniversary!

ter to capture our perfect day. I highly recommend them for any and all of your photography needs!

ay of to make sure those shots were taken throughout the day. She even gave my bridesmaids advice on how to perfectly pose the photos they were taking on their own phones in the morning. Both Matthew and Chrissy truly know how to make you look your best and it reflects in our photos! Their strong relationship without a doubt makes an impact on the beauty of the photos. They instantly cracked jokes with each other and all of us, making us feel more comfortable and helped to make the true emotions to shine through in each photo. The photos are timeless, and natural, which was exactly what we were going for. I would hire them over and over and over again - if you book with them, you won't regret it!

Chrissy and Matthew you get SO much more than just a photographer. You get two people who fit right in with the bridal party, you get two people who don’t hesitate to jump in and assist with suits and/or dresses, and you get the comfort of knowing that they are always in the right spot capturing every shot you want! Our entire bridal party and parents could not say enough about Chrissy and Matthew. When it came to service, we received amazing sneak peak pictures the very next day! Photos are one of the only things you get to take with you after a wedding, do yourself a favor and hire Weddings by Sal and Bella!

wife team are in action! These two made sure our wedding day timeline was on point and on time. They posed us perfectly, and together shoot amazing pictures. They made sure they shot every single one of our wishes, and we truly had a hard time picking out our pictures! I cried when I saw my pictures, because they captured every memory and the true essence of our wedding. They respond quickly to emails/texts and we got our pictures back so quickly! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Weddings by Sal and Bella! I can’t wait for them to do more pictures for us in the future!!

ls of our day just as I imagined.

fect day, but they did! I’d recommend them 100%. I was more than happy with having them as a part of the biggest day of my life!

o-brainer. They made sure to capture all of the major events of our wedding down to the small details. Going into it, we had no idea what to expect and did not have any specific ideas for shots and poses. Chrissy and Matt knew the best places in Pittsburgh for photos and we let them decide the best place for our pictures. They did such an amazing job and I’m so glad we deferred to their expertise on choosing the location and specific shots. Having them as a team is ideal. They both take shots from different angles and positions and the results are amazing. We couldn’t be happier with their service and would recommend them over and over.

rom the start. When our wedding day rolled around they showed up early, which when you’re the bride and things are going a mile a minute, it’s a relief to have a vendor show up not only on time but early! Chrissy and Matt were absolutely amazing to work with and took all the stress out of the photography aspect of our wedding. My husband and I chose to do a first look at a park near our wedding venue so we didn’t have to rush after the ceremony to get all the photos shoved in to an hour. I am beyond happy with our decision to do this especially because Chrissy and Matt captured our first look SO perfectly! The rest of the day they really kept us on track and got all of the shots that we had discussed prior to the wedding! If you’re looking for the sweetest couple ever who is absolutely amazing at what they do, I truly suggest you go with Sal and Bella!

e event date, they take the time to get to know their clients, allowing them to provide a personal touch to every experience along the way that makes each moment truly unique and wholly genuine. When you work with Sal and Bella Weddings, you’re not only working with a trusted vendor that we recommend wholeheartedly, you’re gaining friends—because by the time the big day comes, that’s exactly what they’ve become.

nd wedding photos; they include portraits, but also capture so many moments with friends and family that we will always cherish. We are thankful to have had them as part of our special day, and we can't recommend Sal and Bella enough.

ir pictures told a great story. I would highly recommend them!

b making sure we took all of the pictures we wanted. They work great together, when one is photographing the other is giving direction. They double-checked before we went to our reception that we had all of the pictures we wanted. The day we got married was a very cold one, when I was not in the frame they made sure I was warm and used their own jacket to warm me up. We can't wait to see the rest of our wedding photos, we already know they will be exceptional.

os capturing sweet moments with family and friends as well as beautiful scenic photos with different settings in the background. They are a sweet couple and delightful to work with. We’re so happy we found them!

nted in the least amount of time as possible. We were really able to enjoy our entire wedding because of that! We had also planned to get a sparkler picture later in the night. Chrissy came over to me and said she thought we should do it right away because it looked like rain was coming. Thanks to her, we got the pictures just in time before the rain. It was great to have two professionals working to help ease the day of stress and they are both lovely people. I definitely recommend Sal and Bella to anyone looking for a great photographer!

and Chrissy were able to facilitate us so his was slightly less miserable getting them done! Their team work together is admirable watching them come up with unique shots together. They also are good with crowds and keeping everyone in line so you’re not taking a single picture for 10 minutes. The turn around time for pictures is very reasonable and well worth the wait- my engagement session was beautiful and I cannot wait for my wedding day photos! I would recommend Weddings by Sal and Bella again and again!

dding. There’s so much going on that its hard to concentrate on anything! However, Chrissy and Matthew (AKA Bella and Sal) think about EVERYTHING when it comes to capturing all the important moments and I didn’t have to worry about remembering anything for the pictures. They were on top of it! A few weeks before the wedding they sent me a questionnaire to make sure they would be prepared and ready to capture all of the important moments. During our portraits, Chrissy overheard my husband telling me that the watch he was wearing was worn by all the men in his family for their weddings and Chrissy said to Matthew “Make sure you get that watch in the pictures! It’s special!” We didn’t even consider that but what a wonderful thing for them to pick up on! Everyone felt super comfortable with Matthew and Chrissy behind the camera. They're super friendly (and were even able to get my little nephews/ ring bearers (1 and 2 years old) to look at the camera, too!) Chrissy was very helpful with poses like how to tilt my head, and what to do with my hands which really helped me to relax and not worry about looking awkward. Something I loved during the reception was that any time they noticed people taking personal group photos they went and took a professional one as well - I’m so happy that I have so many pictures of so many of my friends and family from my special day! The photographs themselves were breathtaking. Chrissy and Matthew work so well together that it’s almost like having one photographer that can be in two different places at the same time. We have a beautiful mix of posed and candid photos in both classic and artistic styles. I am so happy that I had Chrissy and Matthew as my wedding photographers! They are just the friendliest, most helpful, most talented people and the type of people you want at your wedding!

our shoot and they were so much fun to work with! They asked us if there were any specific poses we wanted and made sure to capture them in our shoot. We had our dog at our session, and both Chrissy and Matt were patient and worked well with us so we could have our dog included in some of the photos. They were patient, professional and had made sure to capture everything we wanted.

ill up!) and I’m so glad we did. They were both very professional and courteous, not just the day of but also each step along the way including the planning. I have friends who were not pleased with their wedding photographers even though they paid a lot of money for them because of things like feeling rushed, not considering going to locations the couple wanted to be shot at, not working with the weather, etc. Chrissy and Matt were nothing like this! They were very patient, let us tell them where we preferred to go, and they managed to capture us beautifully even through the rain on our day! Highly recommended!

big day. They captured moments that were all a blur to us and they were so happy and upbeat all day. Thank you for everything Matt and Chrissy!!!

dding. Chrissy is this insanely happy and bubbly personality and Matthew has this laid-back attitude that made them a joy to work with. They were absolutely AMAZING!! They captured all of the pictures we wanted and then the intimate candid shots we didn't even know we wanted!! They bring a personal yet professional touch to every session, every conversation, and every event. They worked flawlessly with our DJ and other vendors, drove us to a park for pictures during cocktail hour, and made sure that we were completely happy with their work. We cannot say enough about how wonderful they were and how happy we were to have our wedding photos taken by them.

ay. They captured every moment perfectly, and some of the ninja moves that Matt made to capture some of them were pretty amazing themselves. I had they shoot my reception and those are my absolute favorite pictures, I can see all of my friends and family having a truly amazing time at our wedding. If you are looking for an affordable, stress-free, and amazing photographer Weddings by Sal and Bella is the way to go.

end them.

ghly recommend them! Let me start by saying that our photographers were our most important vendor- they were the first vendor that we booked and the one that we spent the most time researching. We looked at dozens of photographers, viewed tons of wedding photographs and met with at least a half dozen photographers. Our research was very thorough, and we are so very happy and thankful that we chose Chrissy and Matthew. They are extremely talented photographers, and also truly great people. The package included our engagement photos (which we are so very happy with!!), and that was really helpful so we felt comfortable with them on our wedding day. They were very calm, kind and flexible and went above and beyond by helping with anything and everything throughout the day- fixing my hairpiece, doing the groomsmens’ bow ties, carrying things, keeping us on schedule, etc. They were also somehow everywhere at once and yet not noticeable at all. We could swear they multiplied into 10 people to capture the photos they took during the sign of peace and the wedding ceremony generally. They are also extremely efficient in taking the group photos, which is very important as the day goes so fast. The photos themselves are breathtaking and we couldn’t be more pleased with them. They delivered so many and there are so many stunning ones we don’t know how we will choose which ones to print and put in an album. Chrissy and Matthew captured so much emotion with the candid photographs and the portraits are perfect! It was also extremely helpful that they were so flexible with timing and patient as the week leading up to our wedding was so hectic because my Grandma was in the hospital. Chrissy was kind enough to come with us to the hospital that day to get some photographs with my Grandma, which meant everything to me. They were even flexible enough to let us reschedule our engagement photos so that we could have them done on a sunny day like we wanted! Overall, we highly, highly recommend that you choose Chrissy and Matthew as your wedding photographers!!

AMAZING. Chrissy is so attentive to details yet the photos come off so natural. 10/10, seriously. The only regret we have is that she wasn’t available for our wedding 2 years ago.

gest sister can’t wait until she gets married and can have these two as her photographers!!!! The photos turned out amazing and they made sure to get ever shot that we wanted plus so many more! We couldn’t be more happier with Chrissy and Matthew!

looked good in the photos!

for special photo ops. I highly recommend them if you want pictures that reflect the beauty of your wedding.

then, they blew all expectation out of the water. From the engagement shoot to the reception- they were incredible to work with. They made it so easy, fun, and were so helpful (especially day of- just jumped right in to help anywhere needed!). The pictures they took are so gorgeous! We have had multiple people ask us who our photographers were and we are SO happy to tell them to go to Sal and Bella!!

y spoken with Chrissy over the phone and text, but met them for the first time on my wedding day. Within minutes of meeting them, I felt like I had known them for years. Matthew, even went above and beyond his photographer duties that day and assisted my father with his bow tie and buttons, since the rest of us had no idea what to do. They worked well with the kids in our bridal party, as well as our fur babies. They also did a wonderful job of keeping us on time while capturing the most beautiful images of our big day. I can not say enough good things about Chrissy and Matthew! My husband and I LOVE every single one of our wedding photos and would highly recommend Weddings by Sal & Bella to anyone.

wonderful team and do beautiful work! Thank you because now we have beautiful pictures to remember our perfect day!

ncredibly professional yet approachable. They respect the Bride & Groom’s specific requests, but also provide their own professional insight and experience to make you look fabulous. Chrissy & Matthew work tirelessly to give you photos you will cherish forever. They are also very helpful and courteous people! Even though they are there to take photos, they are willing to help wherever they are needed, which comes in handy for all of those little tasks you forget about or unexpected snafus. Need someone to swap out a bad flower from an otherwise beautiful arrangement? Need someone to teach you the best way to fold a pocket square? They can do it all—without missing a single opportunity to capture the moment. As is the case with any quality photographer—the photos can take some time in the editing phase—but a. that means you hired a great photographer and b. I PROMISE you the end result is well-worth it! Do yourself a favor by booking Weddings by Sal & Bella if you want timeless, high-quality, professional photography on one of the biggest days of your life.

wedding I was overjoyed to have them shoot ours as well. Not only did they shoot with a month old baby but traveled to the other side of the state to do it! Chrissy and Matthew are a joy to work with and I'm so happy to not only have them as our wedding photographers but now my cousins as well:)

dedication, and creative vision can't be matched. Our wedding was during the 2016 January snow storm -- our limo cancelled, 40 guests were stranded, and everyone was freezing...but there were Chrissy and Matt -- shoveling snow before the shoot, shuttling the bridesmaids to the church in their personal car, steaming all the bridesmaids dresses, making sure there were enough handwarmers to go around, and dealing with family drama like champions. THIS is the extra mile...and none that I have EVER heard of photographers doing. ALSO...our photos are breathtaking. They are everything little girls dream of on their wedding day. I couldn't be happier. Chrissy and Matt captured true raw emotions of love and happiness with every snap. I truly believe their love as husband and wife shines through their work and influences the entire creative process. They are an AMAZING team and any bride and groom should consider themselves lucky to have them share the day!

away, but will let you relive those once in a lifetime moments you waited for your whole life! Chrissy and Matt did such a sensational job for my twin sister's wedding I knew I had to have them for mine well! It was a no brainer and I am so Blessed I was able to have them for our ever popular June wedding!! I didn't waste time making the decision and neither should you! They are fabulous to work with and just all around great people!!! You can't go wrong with this wonderful pair!!!

r theme in both sets of pictures. Chrissy and Matt shot my best friend's wedding, so I knew that the quality of the pictures would be great. We were looking for pictures that looked more candid and less staged/posed. Aside from the expected group pictures for our wedding day, they did a great job at capturing all of the candid moments between my husband and I and our wedding guests. Looking back on our pictures, I am happy that we chose Matt and Chrissy to capture our big day.

bride and seeing how the day unfolded. They captured all of the emotions of a wedding in a wonderful manner. They were even willing to go out of their way to help with a malfunction in our car! So happy we chose Sal & Bella, worth every penny.

r us, so we at least had something. The day after our wedding Chrissy posted 3 "teasers" on facebook and the pictures were stunning! I cant wait to see the rest. We also had them do our engagement photos, they were willing to work with us no matter what we requested and took their time with us and we never felt rushed. The couple are truely a class act and are very professional. I have nothing bad to say about them and cant wait to see the rest of our photos!

back one month before our wedding which was October, 2 2016, and I panicked because they were so awful!!! It looked like she took the photos with an iphone, I got no direction and the background was horrific. I was so upset I didn't know what to do. A friend of mine who is a very reputable childrens photographer recommended Bella and said that she was her friend and was was awesome. I was beyond exited. Our wedding was at Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh and then the reception was at The Boiler Room. They both put so much genuine love and care into taking our photos! They guided us on what looked great and what to do and the pictures that we have seen so far are absolutely STUNNING!!! They both absolutely went above and beyond!!!! They did such amazing work and I would and will recommend them to everyone I know. They were exceptional!!!!
