We loved working with Claire! She was communicative before our wedding day and was very amenable to all of our desired shots. Claire is very relaxed and easygoing, and her calming personality was much appreciated in the midst of wedding day. We were elated with our final wedding photos which captured so many moments we didn’t get to see ourselves. She and her partner Dru were a great team, easy to work with, and produced amazing work in the end.

We had a lot of snow the day before our wedding, which caused us to lose our group photo spot. Claire did a great job pivoting and the photos turned out beautiful!! She was very helpful posing us and collected a variety of shots. Only negatives were the lack of sneak peak photos and there were a few must-have shots we didn't end up getting. Overall great experience, and would highly recommend Claire!

My husband and I had the best experience with Claire. During our initial meeting, all of our questions and concerns were answered. Claire was extremely helpful in helping us plan our timeline for photos and had a wealth of knowledge on how best to lay out our day to ensure all the photos we wanted were achieved. On the day of our wedding, Claire and Sarah were super friendly, timely, organized, and creative. They made us feel comfortable, natural, and had great suggestions for poses. We could not be happier with how our photos came out. So beautiful and EVERYTHING was captured perfectly. The turnaround time for photo delivery was excellent and the online portal for storing our photos is so user-friendly and easy to use. We are so glad we chose Claire and Sarah via Bellagala to capture our beautiful wedding day. We cannot get over how amazing the photos from our wedding day came out! Thank you Claire & Sarah!!!

Claire did an amazing job as our photographer this wedding season! Not only did she do our engagement photoshoot (with our dog! She was so accommodating), but she also shot our wedding this September. We were very happy with her work and her encouraging nature. We aren't the kind of people who know how to arrange ourselves, but that wasn't a problem for Claire at all. We were very appreciative. She knew what to do and made an effort to make sure we got the photos we wanted.

Claire's artistic eye is what drew her to me at first but after meeting her, it was clear that her experience, personality, and knowledge of wedding photography is what got me super excited. The day of the wedding, Claire knew I didn't need a million dancing photos and I saw her several times taking decorations and incorporating them with the venue. We can't wait to see her images as I'm sure there are some unforgettable shots. The venue was so amazingly magical and I know that Claire was able to capture it along with all the requested images of our guests, wedding party, and family members. Highly recommend!

We found Claire Kurucz through Bellagala and asked her to be our photographer for our small family elopement in Colorado Springs. From when we booked her until after we received the final photographs, she was great! We asked her to photograph before the ceremony, during the ceremony and for group shots after. She was relaxed, professional and made everyone feel at ease while ensuring she captured lot of great images. We didn’t have to wait long for the final images and when we received them we couldn’t believe how stunning they were – from classic posed shots to more candid, fun moments when we were not looking - She captured everything we wanted and more! We’ve shown them to family and friends who all loved them. We were so glad we found Claire, to be our photographer, she fitted in with the day perfectly and we are so thankful for the photographs she took of our day. They are lovely memories that we will always cherish and look back at. - Wameng and Danna

When it comes to weddings, the planning can be so stressful, from finding the bakery, finding the perfect venue, especially finding the right photographer. You need someone to make you feel comfortable with yourself as well as showing your love. When looking for our photographer for our special day, there was no hesitation with choosing Claire. She was very professional, reasonably priced for the quality of work, as well as very friendly and relatable. Starting with our engagement photoshoot, we communicated about what we were looking for and she took off with the baton. She found the perfect location, made us feel comfortable, and even had great ideas for poses for my husband and me. She put so much effort into the edits and even sent us a sneak peak of her favorites because there were so many great photos! She stayed in constant communication throughout our whole experience, from contract signing, to engagement session, to our big day. On our wedding day, she was prompt and ready to go the minute she got there, she was ready to start snapping candid pictures of us getting ready to simple placement of our rings and boutonnieres, to getting the family and loved ones lined up and ready for the next group photos. She was very flexible and understanding on things we wanted and did not want. Her secondary shooter, Dru, was great and remained with us throughout our experience as well, from holding the sun reflector, to looking for great angles as well as coming up with great pose ideas. Looking through our photos from all our shoots, I would not change anything for the world. Showing friends and family the photos, everyone was so amazed at how well they turned out, I would not recommend anyone else, but Claire and Dru!

Working with Claire on our engagement shoot was amazing. She found the perfect location to really help describe us, and it was so much fun and stress-free. She works with your budget, and is extremely professional. Would definitely recommend her over and over again.
