Cody did an absolutely impeccable job capturing our special day. From start to finish, he was easy to work with, professional, attentive, and incredibly respectful. He was a joy to...
be around, and he blended in seamlessly while still catching every important detail.
The highlight reel came back within 24 hours, and when my husband and I watched it for the first time, we were filled with so much emotion as he created the most beautiful 30 second small film. The quality, creativity, and emotion he captured was simply the best.
Cody beautifully documented the big, unforgettable moments, but even more importantly, he preserved the small, in-between glances, laughter, and quiet exchanges that mean the most. Every second feels genuine and full of love. We can't wait to see the entire thing!
Choosing a videographer is such an important decision, because this is how you relive the day for years to come. I can say with complete confidence that we chose the very best.
We are so grateful for the gift he gave us and would trust him again in a heartbeat. Can't wait for him to capture my twin sister's wedding in September!
Cody is amazing at what he does!! We love our video so much I can’t stop watching it!
My husband and I cannot say enough about Bear Productions LLC. Cody and Marissa were friendly, fun, and really easy to work with. They were professional and accommodating through...
out the wedding planning process. They did a phenomenal job capturing our special day while staying behind the scenes. They also delivered our teaser video within one week. Our wedding photos brought back memories; but our video brought back the FEELINGS from our wedding day. Cody and Marissa went above and beyond with our wedding video (and packaging) and the final product exceeded our expectations!! We would HIGHLY recommend Bear Productions LLC!!!
There are no words to describe how grateful we are for Bear Productions’ involvement in our wedding and creating our wedding video. We were lucky enough to work directly with owner...
and founder, Cody and his wife for our intimate 8 person wedding. The videography talent and eye for beauty he possesses is next to none. He went with the flow of our wedding day so well, we barely even notice he was there amidst our photo shoots and the excitement of the wedding. They captured the spirit of the day so beautifully and we can’t stop watching our video. We also cannot imagine what the memories of our day would have been without him there capturing it. I’ve rarely seen wedding videos done with such quality and artistic talent. Thank you again, Bear Productions!
Cody was our dream wedding videographer!! I had seen his amazing work YEARS ago and just knew it had to be him that captured our day. Cody constantly put me in a mood because he ge...
nuinely wanted to be there. Not only does Cody produce top tier work— he effortlessly builds rapport & captivates all involved with his kind & fun personality. He made it easy! Cody went ABOVE and beyond to capture our day perfectly—from talking through our vision months in advance to literally getting in the water to get the best shot. Further, my wedding was scheduled & then pushed back due to COVID restrictions. If this tells you anything—one of the only vendors I HAD to bring with me was Cody. He went out of his way to prioritize our day.. not one..but TWO times. I can’t put a price on all of his MONTHS of hard work/preparation—& how perfectly he captured the day. I would recommend him for ANY event & any occasion! We love our footage and will cherish it for years to come!
I can not stay thank you enough to Bear Productions! The team went above and beyond to make our big day so special. Cody meet with us before our wedding date and made us feel extre...
mely confident that all of our dreams would come true.
The Bear Productions team was so fun to work with and so creative! On the day of the wedding they arrived on time and were ready to go. The team checked in on us through the night to make sure we were all set!
We still receive compliments on our wedding highlight video - its just beautiful! I would recommend Bear Productions to any couple getting married. One of the best decisions we made!
Cody is a STORYTELLER through his videos. He didn't just capture the whole wedding day, but incorporated our story, our personalities, and the things dearest to us.
On wedding day...
he's present and involved to capture the important moments but was never "in the way."
I loved the personal interviews he did with each of us hours before the wedding.
It's obvious he loves the work he does, cared about us as a couple and about the final video he gave us...of the highest quality.
Cody is someone you want to be a part of your day. He did both our engagement video and wedding video and we could not have asked for a better product.
On the days of the events h...
e showed up punctually and helped craft vision for what the video would look like, going above and beyond what was required. His videos are amazing, he's a great guy that is fun to be around even while a million things are going on and getting him as a videographer is well worth it. We still look back at our videos and our family enjoys having the videos to look back on as well.
Hiring Bear Productions is definitely the way to go for your proposal and/or wedding!
Cody was absolutely incredible with my wife and me. We weren't sure if we could afford a wedding video, but my wife really wanted one to remember the day. I made this known to Cody...
, who had recently done a good friend's wedding, and he literally drove over an hour to meet with me and come up with a payment plan that I could afford over the next few months.
The quality of Cody's video was remarkable. It blew my wife and me away. I couldn't believe all of the little moments that he captured, while telling our story. Cody devoted himself to making this day special to us and I would give him 10 stars if I could. He is an awesome guy who makes YOU his number one priority. I cannot recommend him enough!
Our wedding video perfectly captures everything we loved about our big day. It’s a treasure, reminding us of little moments I quickly forgot in the busyness of the day itself. Cody...
was professional, yet made us so comfortable in his presence that everything felt (and looked!) natural. He was punctual and handled every question or concern with care. Thanks to Cody, we have a beautiful memory we can watch over and over again! I couldn’t recommend anyone more highly!!
I didn’t know how much I would treasure the video Cody made of our wedding. His talent will speak for itself but his personality and professionalism through it all was so comfortin...
g. There were so many moments that are a blur in the moment that he will capture for you to relive and enjoy for years to come. If you want the magic of your special day to be captured, Cody is the way to go!!
WOW! Could not be happier that we booked Cody. He is the best of the best. For anyone questioning if video is worth the additional expense, book him now- it is worth EVERY PENNY. W...
e got our highlight video within 2 months of our wedding and it was perfect. He was so professional and kind. But better yet we just got a surprise personalized wooden case with our monogram and wedding date and all of our extra footage, too. (And gummy bears, so sweet!) Can't say enough good things.
We were blown away with our wedding video! Cody is so talented! He takes a "fly on the wall" approach, so half the time I didn't even know he was capturing some of our special mome...
nts. He also took some time to throw out some more creative ideas when we were doing portraits and I loved how those turned out as well! I would 100% recommend Cody as your wedding videographer!
Cody was amazing! So sweet and personable! Most of the day we hardly even knew he was there; he just silently captured the most authentic moments of our special day! We could not b...
e happier with how the video turned out! It will truly be cherished for the rest of our lives 🥰❤️
Hiring Cody Knott was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day!! He was responsive, easy to work with, and detail-oriented. The footage he captured of our love, joy, f...
amily, and friends will be cherished forever. I couldn't believe how he got perfect angles of all the important moments because I hardly noticed him working quietly and diligently during the wedding day. We told Cody that we wanted to emphasize the fun of the day rather than having a slow / dramatic wedding video, and he balanced that fun perfectly with the sweet / romantic moments. Cody's work exceeded my expectations, and he did that all with one of the most reasonable price tags I found in Michigan. I would HIGHLY recommend Bear Productions, LLC!
Cody. Knott. What an amazing Videographer. We had SUCH a positive experience and the footage turned out beautifully. Every ounce of the process was personal, which we appreciated m...
ore than ever. He really got to know us and was able to produce something so in line with what we wanted that it brings tears to our eyes. We feel blessed to have had such a great experience and are grateful we made the choice to do video/cinematography. What a game changer! Bear Productions is fabulous.
Cody captured our day perfectly. He and our photographer worked so well together (which I hear is not always the case for weddings). He is so positive and nice and just helps you t...
o feel at ease in front of the camera. I would highly recommend investing in Bear Productions for videography!
