We wanted give a BIG thank you to Silver Bear. Jessica, Ashley, and Michael were truly fantastic. They each went above and beyond what was expected and helped make our wedding a truly special day. Jessica was helping with minor details outside of photography, specifically with the men putting on boutonnieres, because who knows how to do that!? It was so obvious how each of them really cared about what they were doing and nothing was or felt half hazard. Each of them felt like instant friends of ours and it allowed us to just be ourselves during our photos which I am sure will help them be amazing! They put a lot of care into everything they did and it showed and our guests even recognized it. Many said how they could tell how invested the group was in what was going on......that to me is the biggest compliment when people who you were not even directly working with can tell your investment. I can be very critical of well just about everything and will say it when I see its wrong, but I also believe in letting people know when they did a good job. Good is an absolute understatement. I will personally go out of my way, unprompted, to recommend silver bear to people I know who are engaged. That is really how good it was.
There are no words. Allison and the SBC team are beyond talented. We booked them, as our venue (House of Blues) was going to be a photography challenge, and they were highly recommended. We found out why! We used SBC for our engagements, my bridals, and our wedding. As soon as spots are available, we’re signing up for the spring minis, too! Allison has a true gift. My husband and I are awkward and goofy, and we’d never had professional photos taken. We were made to feel comfortable and HAVE FUN, and we have the most beautiful photos back as a result of the insane talent SBC has. Photography was my main concern with our wedding, as years down the line, photos will be how we can truly remember the details of the day. And wow, I am floored at the ART we got back. We’re fans for life!
We had the pleasure of working with the Silver Bears for our client's September wedding- it was a joy. Their artful photography skillfully highlighted the beauty of our work. Appreciative of their talent in capturing the essence of our services.
Where do I even begin. Silver Bear Creative (but more specifically Allison) were incredible from our first interaction. Allison took our engagement photos, bridal portraits, and wedding photography and each shoot was more than I could have ever dreamed. Allison is everything you could want in a photographer. She is professional, kind, and so fast with her turn around time! One thing my husband and I really loved about her was that we never felt awkward when getting any of our pictures taken! She is so friendly and easy to talk to and very good at giving directions! Especially with our family and wedding party! Our pictures were so dreamy I still cannot stop looking at them. If you are trying to decide on your wedding photographer you cannot go wrong with Silver Bear!! They are truly amazing people and so so talented! Thank you for giving us the photos of our dreams ❤️
Your photographer/videographer will be the single most important vendor you book. After all, once your wedding day has come and gone, it will be the photos/videos alone that will be your window back into that amazing day. We booked Silver Bear Creative based on their IG photos and their reviews here. Our wedding planner actually recommended a different photographer, but we just didn't feel the right vibe. We knew as soon as we met with the team at Silver Bear that they were going to be our photography/videography team. They are the perfect combination of professional and personal. They made us feel like their friends who would also happen to be photographing us. We had an extensive planning session long before our actual wedding day. Within a week of our wedding, they touched base with us to make sure we understood their process and they understood our expectations. During the wedding day, they captured magical moments without being obtrusive to our guests or even us. Looking back at the photos, we didn't even realize they were capturing some of the moments. We feel like their pricing is in line with other photographers, but their advantage is that you get photography and videography together. Silver Bear's quote for photography and videography together was equal to just the photography quote from the photographer our planner recommended.
You also don't have to worry about whether the photographer and videographer will work well together, as you would if you booked each separately. We could go on and one about how personable and professional they are and the value for the price. Just check out their IG and give them a call to schedule a prospective planning session. You will not regret having Silver Bear as your photographer and videographer.
I came across Silver Bear on Instagram because they had worked at our venue before and our planner confirmed their awesomeness. We set up an intro call to see if we were a good fit and the rest is history. They are such a powerhouse team, we decided to use them for photography and videography! They also have great packages with different options and add-ons and we really felt like we were getting our money’s worth. We selected bridals, extra team members and additional cuts of our big day just to name a few. We met before our big day to talk thru shots that mattered to us & share ideas and Allison really blew it out of the water on day of. Allison and Chris and their team were wonderful people which really helped us relax and enjoy ourselves and I really feel like our wedding was perfectly captured from the small details to the hilarious dance floor pictures and I’m so grateful for the Silver Bear Team. We got a sneak peak of our wedding video and I definitely watched it over a 100 times! Chris made our wedding feel like movie love story and I can’t wait to see the full length film because I know it is going to make me cry! Other things to highlight, turnaround time was quick & they delivered when they said they would. The online gallery is so easy to use and share and our families and friends were/are obsessed with what we have gotten back! Couldn’t recommend this team more!
We booked Silver Bear as our photographer and videographer for our October 2022 wedding and we were blown away in how beautifully they captured our day. Despite external circumstances that threw off our wedding day schedule, Silver Bear knew exactly how to work around those circumstances to ensure they got all of the stunning shots we wanted. The Silver Bear team has such a creative vision with the expertise to make that vision come to life. We were brought to tears with how stunning our photos came out and how elegantly crafted our wedding video was. These photos and videos will last forever and we are so happy that we entrusted Silver Bear with capturing our story!
I wish we could give 10 stars because we would! We cannot recommend Allison and the Silver Bear Team more! We did the top tier photography package which includes three add-ons,and it was 100% worth every penny!! We got to do an engagement session in the Fall and a bridal session the month before with Allison, both of which turned out spectacular. For our big day we choose to have a 2nd shooter for our third add on and both Allison+Will were just amazing the entire day; they were with us from around noon to 11pm which allowed them to capture so many moments. The hair and makeup ran very far behind but we still were able to get all our photos (bridal party+fam, groomsmen+fam, first look, and couple+family photos) done before the ceremony with 15 minutes to spare even! They know exactly where to put everyone so they get the shots so quickly. Everything from getting ready through the ceremony turned out great, but our reception dancing photos are next level AMAZING! The pure joy and celebration captured in those photos will truly be cherished for a lifetime. Allison was great at helping suggest dates, times, and location for everything and her posing guidance is so, so helpful to not feel completely awkward in front of the camera. I will say the only downside is you are going to have to buy a digital photo frame after hiring the Silver Bear Team as there is no way to pick between the thousands of incredible photos! THANK YOU AGAIN ALLISON+WILL!!!!
If you are looking into Silver Bear Creative for your photographer look no further! Allison was quick to her respond in my request for information and less than a week later I had my photographer for my wedding. Their work is absolutely stunning, natural and stands out from many others. They did our engagement, bridal and wedding photos and not one of them was I disappointed in or had any complaints. Allison was very patient with me when we had to change up our engagement location last minute, also continued taking photos when it started to rain a bit. For my bridal photos I wanted them at The State Fair of Texas, not only was Allison honest with possible challenges but was up for it and gave me so much confidence in my decision in sticking with my idea. Arriving at the fair they were ready and had already found some great spots to take pictures. Not only did they squeeze into the ferris wheel to get some photos but also went on a few other rides to get some amazing and memorable shots. Two short days later was our wedding and once again they were ready for another great day. If you are wanting photos you can look back on and relive the moment, that captures every emotion, detail and beauty, then you have found your photographer. To have the ability to relive those very import moments again and again is something I will forever treasure. I made a list of detail photos I wanted from the day and not only did they do every photo on the list, they took more details that I didn’t think of. Leaving us with a time capsule of how beautiful the day was. Our wedding theme was Golden Hour and Allison and Jessica took the most beautiful and stunning golden hour photos of us during cocktail hour capturing the mood we wanted. I could say so much more on how amazing they are. They were always so professional, great to be around and most importantly never missed a moment, even ones I didn’t know they were around to get. I now will forever have the ability to look back and enjoy my day over and over again. You will not be disappointed or regret choosing them. I highly recommend, so much so I am trying to find more reasons to hire them for more great memories to be captured.
We had Allison as our engagement, bridal, and wedding photographer and my god is she good! I'm a behind-the-camera person myself but she made it so easy and the shots are just beyond perfect! I can't wait to see the gallery for the wedding!
Allison and Kris are a literal dream team. From our first conversation with them, we knew we wanted them as our photo and video team. Their artistry is unparalleled, and their professionalism is top tier. Allison was fantastic with setting up logistics from the very beginning, and as we continued wedding planning that never faltered. She is quick on her feet, always ready to go, and a joy to be around. Her and Kris are two of the kindest souls, are incredibly informed, and have excellent communication. They were also very punctual with sending our wedding photos and video, and we were amazed with everything. I feel truly blessed that we got to spend our day with them, as they truly have a magical way of connecting with each individual person. I don't think I will ever be able to truly thank them enough for how beautifully they captured our wedding day.
I’m so happy we booked with Silver Bear. They were helpful throughout the entire planning process. Allison helped me build the timeline for the wedding day and made sure to capture every photo we had requested. Allison and her team were on time and professional. Allison provided us a sneak peek of our wedding photos a few days after the event. We couldn’t believe how fast she got it to us, and we love them so much! We are excited to see how the rest of our photos come out. Thank you Silver Bear!
This is your sign to book Silver Bear NOW! They are the entire package - superior talent, gorgeous editing style, and SO professional and responsive. On top of it all they are the most genuine people you could ask to work with - which is so important!! They were a calming presence and knew how to get gorgeous shots quickly and efficiently. Everybody in our family and bridal party was pleased with their ability to get all the shots we wanted - and we have huge extended families! What makes Silver Bear special is their ability to capture small and meaningful moments along with the big moments. Some of our favorite pictures from our wedding day were little moments - a smile, a look, etc. They capture the emotion and story behind your day so naturally. Allison even had the idea for us to recreate my grandparent's wedding picture we had on display at the reception in our getaway car at the end of the night. That thought never crossed my mind and now thanks to her we have a treasured family heirloom. Our wedding video was absolutely stellar too! We received so many compliments from family and friends that it was the best one they've ever seen. So beautifully and timelessly crafted! There are lots of wedding photographers and videographers out there, but Silver Bear is truly the best. In the wedding industry you 1000% get what you pay for, and Silver Bear is worth EVERY penny!
THE DREAM TEAM!!! Allison, Kris and the whole Silver Bear team are the best you will find! Not only are they incredibly talented, they are also the most genuine people you will ever meet. We had so much fun shooting with them and they make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera.
We used them for our engagement photos as well as wedding photos & video and cannot recommend them enough. They captured our day so perfectly and were so helpful/responsive during the entire process. We have had so many compliments about our photos and video and tell everyone we know about Silver Bear!!!
There are not enough words for how incredible the Silver Bear team is!
Allison + Kris are not only the sweetest, most kind humans, they are also so incredibly talented and truly the best at what they do!
From the moment I met with them (via FaceTime) I knew we would love working with them. For two people who are not comfortable in front of the camera, Allison is so chill and made us feel at ease in front of the camera.
Our gallery was delivered so quickly and with so many photos!!!! We are in love with how our pictures turned out and they reflect us and our personalities perfectly.
Our video was absolutely magical, Kirs captured everything!! We both cried watching the video and reliving the day. It was everything we had dreamed it would be!
This team is family; selecting them to capture our day was the best and easiest decision we made during the planning process!
Ours photos and video were absolutely perfect, We couldn’t have imagined of anything better!
You can’t go wrong selecting this team; they are the best!
Allison and her team deserve 100 stars!!! They were so fun and so easy to work with. They truly know what they are doing!!! It felt like they were able to knock out all the pictures so quickly. Everyone has texted me saying how amazing the pictures are and we couldn’t agree more!! They really did such an amazing job!!!! On top of that, we were able to get so many sneak peaks and we got them so FAST!!!! I also booked a boudoir shoot with Allison and she was so easy to work with. She made me feel so comfortable and when I got the pictures, I couldn’t even believe it was me!!! She made me feel so good!!!! She is such a quick worker and a hard one!! We could not be more thankful for you and your whole team!!!!!!
From the moment we sat down with Allison and Kris there was a connection. Part of it was probably that Allison and I were both sporting Disney Loungefly bags and that we had both just had Disney trips. It didn’t take much considering for us to know that we wanted to work with SBC. We absolutely love their photography and videography style and they’re just so cool! Who wouldn’t want to hang out with them all day? Our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, and our wedding photos are amazing. We’ve seen a sneak peek of our video and it blew us away. From the way they edit, to the way they capture the moments, it’s all incredible. I cannot imagine our day without them and their amazing team.
We booked Silver Bear Creative as our photographer! They did our engagement photos and wedding photos. The photos are absolutely incredible. We have gotten SO MANY compliments on our photos from both our engagement and wedding. Allison and her team are so professional and so talented. We were blown away by the images we received (and so many images)! We received our engagement photos in about a week and wedding photos in just under 4 weeks. They are worth every penny if you want professional and creative images. We alloted more of our vendor budget toward photography, and they did not disappoint! We would book them again in a heart beat!! Thank you, SBC!
I cannot recommend Allison, Kris, Ryan and their team enough! I met them prior to securing them as a vendor as they did both of my sisters weddings. I fell in love with not only their work but them as people.
I specifically chose my wedding date because it was one of the few dates they had an opening for both photography and videography. They are THE best to work with.
If you are hesitant about booking a videographer as well, DO IT! One of my favorite things about working with Silver Bear is the fact they are all in one company of both photography and videography. On the day of, it can seem stressful to have so many cameras on you, but they work together so well and make you feel so comfortable. My husband is more on the shy side and our photos turned out amazing because they help you relax, feel comfortable, and beautiful!
They were punctual when it came to communication as well as being on time for the wedding day and engagement photos. Within a couple days of our wedding day, Allison had already sent me many sneak peek photos that we were able to look at while we were on our honeymoon.
I tell all my friends that they NEED to use Silver Bear when they get married because it is an amazing experience. If you're questioning pricing, SPLURGE! Just remember these photos/video are the things you will have forever from your wedding day to always look back on. They are SO talented.
I absolutely LOVED Kris, Allison, & Ryan! They were very attentive, communication was amazing through out the whole planning process and they were sooo much fun! We immediately felt very comfortable around them which was huge for us! Us being comfortable around them allowed us to be ourselves in front of the camera. The result was a FANTASTIC wedding film that my husband and I tear up to every.single.time! The quality of the film is AAAAMAZING. And although we didn't use their photography services, I have seen the end result of those too and can defiantly say you will not regret choosing them for that too! I cannot recommend them enough, seriously! Thank you so much Bears for capturing our big day!! We appreciate you guys sooo much!
The Silver Bears did our engagement photos, wedding photos and wedding video. Everything turned out amazing. Everyone made comments about how great their team was and how beautiful everything turned out. They made us feel so comfortable and they are so fun and down to earth. They even sang baby shark to my niece to get her to smile! You can tell they are passionate about what they do. I was just looking at our photos again & realized I never left a review so here I am! It's definitely an investment for photo/video but trust me, you need BOTH and you need the Silver Bear team. They helped with a timeline to ensure we would have the most beautiful sunset photos too. We will treasure them forever and can't wait to do family photos with them some day!
Allison is seriously the bee's knees when it comes to photography. I LOVE her style and our engagement pictures turned out so amazing, I can't WAIT to see the wedding photos! She's super responsive, very helpful, and tells you what to do when you have no idea how to pose like me! lol Very professional, amazing to work with, and I'm so happy I found her to document my big day!
I can’t say “thank you” enough to Allison and Silver Bear Creative! We had such an amazing time working with them! I am beyond happy I decided to book pretty much all of the photo sessions I could (engagement, bridal, boudoir & wedding) with them, as I am now left with priceless, beautiful images of one of the happiest times in my life! Allison is there for you every step of the way during the photo sessions; she helps guide you on what to do and she helps lead you to feeling beautiful and confident! Silver Bear even went above and beyond on the wedding day to help! The saddest thing about my wedding being over is not getting to work with them anymore! WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!
Silver Bear Creative Photo + Video is a DREAM to work with. We had photography and videography done by them at our wedding and could not recommend them enough. Everything turned out amazing and we were blown away by the quality and so thankful we have these memories to cherish for a lifetime. They went the extra mile. The team is also extremely pleasant and great to work with!!
I cannot say enough good things about Silver Bear Creative! I have already recommended them to multiple friends for their weddings. I am so impressed by the quality and artistry of Silver Bear's photos. I have received so many comments from friends and family about how amazing my engagement and wedding photos turned out. I am so thoroughly impressed by the talent of Allison, Kris, and Jessica and feel so fortunate to have had them capture this time in my life. Also, they are just great people who made working with them so easy and fun! They have truly provided me with images and memories that I will LOVE (and cannot stop looking at) forever.
We used Silver Bear for our engagement and wedding photos and WOW did they deliver!!! They beautifully captured all of the emotion and small moments of the day, as well as the standard ones. Getting our pictures back felt like reliving the day all over again. Allison and Jessica know how to work with the light so perfectly and their style feels artistic and timeless at the same time. We absolutely loved working with them and we have received so many comments on how beautiful the pictures are. We can't say enough good things about their skills, talent, and joy we had working with them!
Silver Bears were able to capture our most perfect day and made the pictures/videography even more PERFECT. They were able to capture every detail while simultaneously feeling like they weren’t even there and blending in with our wedding guests! We love that they are a family business, as we are very family oriented as well. Our family loved the Silver Bears so much that my brother-in-law ended up using them as well for their wedding. Now a Robinson tradition to use the Silver Bears!
We are obsessed with the Silver Bears! Cannot say enough great things about them. Silver Bear was the photo/video team for our brother/sister-in-law’s 2020 wedding and from the moment we saw them in a action and then saw the final photos/video we had to book them for our wedding too! The bears traveled to Vail, CO for our wedding and were the absolute best! We felt so comfortable with them the entire day and appreciated their positive and fun attitude toward everything! Our photos turned out STUNNING thanks to their incredible scouting/direction/lighting and work. Our sneak peek video looks like a movie trailer and captured our day so beautifully! Cannot thank the entire team enough- hope to see them at allllll of them future family weddings ❤️
I cannot say enough great things about Silver Bear Creative! My breathe is taken away when I see our photos and we had so many compliments on our photos/Allison being there! They were actually the first photographers page we looked at! We did a lot of research on photographers, but we kept saying "Others have great pictures, but there is something extra special about Silver Bear's photos!" We knew we had to have them for our big day! We just did photography, but the price was well worth the product! Allison is fun and shoots with ease! She is organized, on-time, and professional! She explained the whole process to us and was very kind when we had questions! Their gallery/website is easy to use, easy to make payments, and the pictures are OUTSTANDING!!! We received our engagement pictures back fast and I cannot wait to see the wedding photos! We will use Silver Bear Creative for everything we possibly can moving forward! They are the best!
We used Silver Bear for our engagement photos, wedding photos, and wedding video. Everything they did was amazing! Allison did our engagement photos and was so encouraging on a very hot Texas day to help us be comfortable in front of the camera. When we got our photos back they were better than what we envisioned. We had Jessica with us for our wedding day photos and she was great! We anxiously waited for our wedding gallery and then could not have been happier with all of the photos. We also had the inconvenience of having our wedding planned during COVID. Allison worked with us fairly close to our wedding date to help get a live stream set up for our family and friends who could not attend our wedding. Along with the live stream, we had Kris and Ryan for our wedding day videographers. Having our ceremony, speeches, and a feature video of our wedding day will be something we cherish forever. The videos came out amazing and the team was great. The quality of the films feel like you are watching a movie. Kris and Ryan were so awesome to work with and kept us laughing the whole day. If you are looking for a photographer and/or videographer for your wedding we would highly recommend Silver Bear Creative!
I fell in LOVE with Silver Bear's photography style after seeing a friends wedding photos and knew I HAD to use them for my photos and I am beyond thrilled that I did. Allison did my bridals, our engagement photos, and she and Jessica did our wedding photos. The pictures are everything I could have asked for and more. Seeing all my friends and family smiling and happy on our big day means the world to me and having the sunset pictures with Harley that Silver Bear is so great at capturing is so special. Allison and Jessica were so helpful with any questions I had about outfits, locations, timing, weather, poses, literally anything we felt so comfortable with them. And the pictures are super easy to download so you can show them off to EVERYONE! I can't express this enough BOOK THEM NOW! Your wedding pictures are something you will cherish forever and the Silver Bear team will make sure that they are everything you dreamed of!
We LOVE our engagement and wedding pictures from Silver Bear Creative! We choose to only do photos for our wedding and Allison came through!! Neither my husband or I are very comfortable in front of a camera and Allison made it very easy. She put us at ease and told us exactly what to do.
To say the Silver Bear Creative team was amazing is a complete understatement! I don’t know any other words to accurately depict just how phenomenal the whole team was. They are all SO talented and make you feel like you’re all friends...which makes being in front of a camera more comfortable. So many people from our wedding were so impressed because “you felt like they weren’t there.” Our lead photographer got Covid the night before our wedding so she couldn’t be there the day of so I was a little nervous. BUT what I’ve learned is that Allison, Kris, and Ryan don’t hire anyone who isn’t insanely talented. We are over the moon pleased and will only recommend Silver Bear Creative for photography/videography needs!
100000/10!!! I cannot say enough about the Silver Bear team and the work they do! We hired Allison and Kris to do our Photgraphy and videography for our wedding and it was the best decision we could’ve made! Allison was sooo easy to work with - she made me and my husband feel instantly comfortable during our engagement session and on the wedding day - she has such an ease about the way she shoots photos and is just a joy to be around. Kris and his team are rockstars - we added a streaming component to our ceremony so my family in Canada could watch and the streaming was crystal clear and went off without a hitch. The day wasn’t what we originally planned but the Silver Bear team was accommodating through all the changes and in the end, made it feel even more special than I ever imagined. I am beyond thankful we had them for our day!!
Do not look beyond this team - you won’t be disappointed! Thank you Silver Bear for capturing our wedding in the most perfect way!!
INSANELY GREAT!!! We used them for our engagements and wedding day. If you want to gain confidence and have every good quality about yourself and as a couple intensified BOOK THEM NOW!!! We are beyond happy & grateful to have them as our photographers.
I’m not sure where to begin!! From our initial talk to our engagement shoot then all the way through our wedding, Silver Bear Creative made sure my now hubby & I were completely satisfied and felt absolutely beautiful. There’s something about this duo that creates magic and you can feel that in these moments captured. They are able to bring moments to life and make them eternal so that you never forget how you felt during some of the most special days of your life. I am BEYOND appreciative of not only their work, but their support. They are a team you definitely want in your life. They are the best in the business and when I said the BEST I mean it. We searched for 4 months to find the photographer and videographer that was actually good. They aren’t just good there are dang SPECTACULAR. Book them. DO IT. You will not forget it. Their work is just so magical. That’s the word we all use. The lighting is amazing. They can make ANYTHING look beautiful. Raining? No problem. Cloudy? No problem. Snowing? No problem. 106 degrees and sweating (like our wedding)? No problem!!!! They do it all. We loved working with them and will forever use them in the future.
From start to finish, the Silver Bear Creative team was a dream to work with! They worked with us to understand the every detail of our vision, and were such fun to have with us on the big day! Within minutes Kris and Ryan felt like longtime friends, and by the end of the day felt like family. They worked with our photographer and bounced ideas off each other to get the best shots, and I can't thank them enough for all their hard work! Our video is still getting compliments months later, and we love every minute of it. I can't recommend Silver Bear enough!
We connected with Ryan from watching some of their videos online. He was quick to respond and was pleasant and helpful to any questions we had. The final product simply captured the day exactly as we had hoped. The turnaround and the presentation of the packaging were nothing short of exceptional. We highly recommend Silver Bear for your special day!
I cannot say good enough things about silverbear. For reference for anyone reading this review: We did a "save the date" video in addition to the Kodiak package. We also purchased all the raw footage.
________________
About 8 months into our engagement we'd been searching for a photographer/videographer and hadn't come across anyone that wow'ed us. We knew this would be an investment, so it was important to us that the value matched the cost. Cue silverbear's entrance during one of our best friends wedding. I saw Kris and Ryan getting down and dirty on the dance floor with all the guests; Allison & her second shooter somehow seemed to be everywhere, capturing every moment and I knew we had to reach out to them. I hadn't even seen their work yet. The next day I stalked them online and then waited a bit to see our friend's photos. We were AMAZED by how the pictures and video came out.
Remember how I said it was important to us that the cost matched the value? Well, Silverbear's value EXCEEDED the cost by far. They are more than worth it. The best money we spent was on silverbear.
A lot of people will tell you to skimp on photography & videography. DO NOT DO IT. Invest in it. Video brings everything back to life, and I promise you will want and need that for how fast your wedding day will go by.
BTW - they travel! :D
Stop your search for your wedding photographer and videographer right now and hire the Silver Bear Creative team! I will recommend Allison, Kris and Ryan to ANYONE who asks me. They were amazing throughout our COVID postponement and on our wedding day they blended in so perfectly that we hardly even noticed they were there in some of our most intimate moments (first look, last dance, etc). They made us and our bridal party feel so at ease like we could just continue being ourselves and be authentic in the moment rather than having to perform for our photos or video. For us, our photographer and videographer was one of the most important vendors with our wedding because we know how important these are going to be 10, 20, 50 years from now as we look back on the best day of our lives. Again, don't even hesitate one more moment to reach out to this amazing team...you won't regret it!
Do yourself a favor and join the Silver Bear team RIGHT NOW! My husband and I worked with Silver Bear Creative for our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, and our wedding photography + videography and we have been BEYOND happy with every single thing the team has captured for us. When you are behind the camera, you can feel their excitement for what they do which makes it so easy to feel comfortable and happy to be behind the camera! There is no other way to put it besides this team is unbelievably talented and an absolute joy to work with. We know we won't just treasure these photos and videos from the wedding as we look at them in the present, but for the rest of our lives as well... truly timeless work that will exceed all expectations. We have received so many compliments on all of our photos from family and friends, and cannot wait to share our wedding gallery with everyone. Their work seriously will bring tears to your eyes (in the best way)!! We are so lucky to have had Silver Bear as such an important part of our special day, and could never thank them enough for what they do.
This creative team is SO TALENTED!! They've photographed and shot video at Century Hall and I get so excited when they send me gallery links because I know how AMAZING the content will be! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
All I can say is wow! The Silver Bear team was awesome! They are so organized, enthusiastic, and talented! We are so thankful to have found them for our special day!!! I highly recommend them!
Seriously... I do not even know how to put into words the amazing work that Silver Bear Creative has done for us. Allison and Kris are absolutely brilliant! They captured every part of our journey and the most amazing memories of our wedding day. We were contemplating the add of videography and I am so happy we decided on the package that included it. I will never forget the way we felt when we got in the limo at the end of the night and we couldn't stop talking about Silver Bear and how we couldn't wait to see what they capture. The best money that we could have spent on the wedding! They are worth every penny!
Silverbear Creative was THE BEST decision my husband and I made for our wedding. I knew from the moment we got engaged that the most important vendor for us would be our photographer and videographer. They were going to capture our special day and be the reason we can look back on our day for forever. We were referred to Alison and Kris via a family friend who knew them. The first meeting with them was so welcoming and stress-free in their studio, I just couldn’t believe how easy it was to get along with them. Five minutes after walking out of our meeting we called and booked them! I couldn’t picture my wedding without them being there to capture our day. Throughout the engagement process, Alison was there via text with any questions or reference help that I needed. Alison even referred my makeup artist to me! We rescheduled our engagement pictures 3 times before weather and timing finally worked out, but they were so easy to communicate and plan with. And then our pictures were even more amazing than we could’ve hoped for! If you have seen their work, it speaks for itself. They are truly artists. They capture moments that I didn’t even know were happening. The photos from our wedding were so amazing and creative that I constantly look at them even months after our wedding day. We felt like our photos were unique to us, and completely resembled us as a couple. Kris and Ryan did an amazing job on our wedding video. On our day they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, even though that is NOT our thing. Somehow, the two of them were able to be in all of the right places at the right times. They are truly great at what they do because they filmed such raw moments and edited it so beautifully in our final video it makes me cry happy tears every time I watch it. All of the Silverbear Crew were punctual and professional in all aspects of the wedding process, and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone who is getting married. You want your day captured by the Silverbears. I promise you, they are as special as their name.
Book Silver Bear Creative now. Hurry!! Allison's photos are gorgeous, timeless, and so dreamy! She was so easy to work with and made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She first shot our engagement photos which blew us away. She picked an amazing location and seriously made us look like models! And then our wedding day photos amazed us even more which I did not know was possible!! We are SO happy with the way the photos turned out and we constantly receive compliments on the quality and beauty of them. Thank you so much Silver Bear Creative!
We first saw Alison, Kris, and Ryan in action at a friends wedding two summers ago- before we were even engaged. As soon as we sat down and starting thinking about vendors for our own day, we immediately knew we wanted to meet the people behind the cameras of Silver Bear. Let me just say, we were NOT disappointed! This family becomes your family throughout the entire wedding process-from engagement outfit help (thanks Alison!) to hugging you on the day of your wedding and feeding you gum when your stomach hurts. Your day in their hands is the best thing you can do for yourself.
The photos and videos speak for themselves- these humans are TALENTED. Your day will be captured so perfectly, with every single detail from moments you don’t even remember. I have looked through our pictures and cried at our video so many times since we received them(which is SO FAST, btw!) that I’ve lost count. They are true artists of their crafts.
We are so beyond thankful that Silver Bear was who we chose for photography and videography. We have had so many compliments from guests about how effortlessly they flowed throughout the whole evening—you barely notice they are around you because the comfort level is so high. They do their job well and they take it seriously, but they love to have a good time and get their Swag Surf on. They are punctual, professional, loving, and determined to make your day the best ever! You will never regret being part of the Silver Bear family!
I truly don’t have the words to describe just how amazing the entire Silver Bear crew is. From the moment we saw their work after seeing them in action at a friend’s wedding, we knew they were special! Allison and Kris were so warm, friendly, hilarious, and welcoming when we first met. They offer so many great packages with a variety of options and explain all of it so well. This team truly cares about all of their clients like their own personal friends.
Allison was so accommodating and flexible after we had to reschedule our engagement session a few times due to bad weather. Once we finally did them, she made it so easy! She’s a natural at creating unique candid moments for every couple.
The wedding day was a dream with this team! Both photographers & videographers were so friendly and hilarious all day long. They helped the schedule run so smoothly and were never “in the way”. We cant even begin to express how much we will cherish every single one of our wedding pictures. They captured the day so beautifully and everyone at the wedding spoke very highly of them! We have seen our sneak peek of our video and are already in love!
You will not regret your decision of working with Silver Bear Creative. They are truly the best and we can’t thank them enough!!
The Silver Bear team is amazing!! They were super friendly and easy to work with and they listened to what we wanted and kept checking in to make sure they were capturing the moments that were important to us! They were so professional, fast and efficient! We had our wedding in July in Texas and our wedding party photos were outside but we were done within 30 minutes because they are just that good! Their team work is amazing and seamless because they are a family team! In addition, their turn around time is so fast! We had a sneak peek on the photos within a couple of weeks!!
We are absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out! The photos and video!! We can’t stop looking at them! It brings us right back to our wedding day and perfectly captures the important moments as well as the small details that we want to remember!
We are so happy to have worked with your team and would gladly recommend your team to anyone!
We just got our full ceremony video today and we rewatched our wedding... I cried... again!
Thank you Silver Bear Creative for capturing our wedding in full and giving us a gift we can share with our kids in the future!!
I mean, their work just speaks for itself. Just check out their photos! Alison with Silver Bear Creative is so incredibly talented. But above her talent, she and Amber (second shooter) were so laid back and amazing to have around on our wedding day. Our engagement photos were amazing, so I was losing my patience waiting for wedding photos in the short two weeks it took to receive them. Rob and I are in awe of her work and so excited that they captured the day so perfectly, from intimate moments, to special family moments, the fun we had and the love that was filling the venue! I am SO glad they captured our day so well since that is what we will forever have to remember our day by.
How do I even begin to describe Silver Bear? They’re the best decision you can make for your photography and videography needs! Allison, Kris, and Ryan were the dynamic trio that truly captured every sweet moment during our wedding. They’re so approachable, patient, professional, and still made us feel very natural. The Silver Bear team is both super talented and efficient, too! We received our engagement pictures and wedding day pictures within 2-3 weeks after each of those respective events! Plus, they give you some sneak peeks just a few days after the big day! We received our absolutely STUNNING wedding video in about 5 weeks. They have so many great ideas and really thrive in capturing the small and important moments. Allison, the head photographer, has an eye for the candid and shoots us in natural elements. She’s especially great at capturing sunsets which look very romantic! We didn’t feel at all awkward when we did our engagement session or couples’ session for the wedding. She also finds warmth and light in the most unexpected places and the outcome always amazes me! My husband and I got married September 2019 and I recommend getting the Kodiak package. It includes photography and videography for the wedding plus a free engagement session/bridal session. My husband and I opted for the engagement session. We took pictures out by a lake in Dallas and she can make an ordinary background look extraordinary. We were so excited to receive our pictures so quickly and with such high quality! For the wedding day, they made planning our timeline very easy. They have another photographer + videographer so you get all the optimal angles. During the reception, they danced with us and celebrated with us! My husband and I are so grateful for their team and their incredible talents! People say that choosing a great photography/videography company can be tricky and sometimes it’s just gamble. Silver Bear Creative made our wedding day so memorable, so special, and I would recommend them to anyone! Their taste is absolutely timeless. Stop your search now and book them!!!
Absolutely wonderful! My fiancé and I used Silver Bear for our engagement photos and they are incredible! Allison and her husband flew out to us in Louisiana (amazing) and we had such a great shoot! We were put instantly at ease, never felt awkward and just had fun!! We got our photos back in a week and they are just WOW! Cannot recommend enough!
A+++++! We used SB for our engagement pics and opted to add a Save The Date video. Professional and easy to work with start to finish and excellent, fair pricing. Could not be more thrilled with the quality of the pictures and the video. Allison hung in with us through us needing to change the session date and choosing the chaotic State Fair of Texas as our location, and she was incredibly laid back the entire time. Her and Kris made us feel so comfortable for the session - not only will we cherish the pics forever, we will cherish the memory of hanging out with these two cool people who made us feel like stars. I highly recommend adding the Save the Date video - it will really put your wedding website over the top!
The Silver Bear team was by far one of our favorite vendors at our wedding! They are professional, timely and SO MUCH FUN. We loved their creativity and their passion for what they do is proven through every email, meeting and of course your day-of! They all work together so well and they work hard to make sure that your day is captured perfectly. We are so thankful that we get to relive our day through our beautiful photographs and video! Book them now!!!!!!!
We had Silver Bear as our videographers for our wedding in May and they were amazing! They got the sneak peek video to us super fast (and it was amazing), the full video was incredible (people that we are not very close to told us it made them cry), AND they were so fun at the wedding! We bonded with them at the wedding which made the experience so much better! In the video, they were able to perfectly capture the tender, sweet moments as well as the ranging dance party! I honestly have no idea how they compiled it into such a sweet/fun video! I would recommend Silver Bear videography or photography to anyone who is getting married!
Thanks for capturing our sweet day! Y'all are the best! :)
I absolutely recommend Silver Bear Creative to anyone in need of a wedding videographer! They took the time to meet with me prior to the wedding to ensure exactly what I was looking for in my wedding video. On the day of our wedding, the Silver Bear team were extremely professional and personable. They made my husband and I feel at ease in front of the camera! The sneak peek that they gave us just a week or so after the wedding was a perfect 60 second glimpse into our day. Since receiving our full wedding video we have watched it continuously with tears in our eyes! The video perfectly captured our wedding day and the party to follow! Thank you to the Silver Bear Creative team!! 5 stars!!! Wish I could give even more!
If you are looking for the most incredible photography/ videography team, look no further. Allison & Kris did an AMAZING job capturing our day we felt like we truly were able to relive it as we cried all over again looking at the pictures & watching the video. Allison was my stand in mom during bridal portraits as she carried my dress, fixed my veil, and made me feel at ease when taking these pictures. There is so much we weren’t able to be apart of on our wedding day because we can’t be in multiple places at once but having the Silver Bear team capture the moments we missed made us feel like we were able to be apart of those moments. They were on time, communicated with us frequently, and I never felt stressed about this decision and would choose them over & over. My husband continued to comment on how great he thought they were.
We love the Silver Bears!!!
Now that the dust has settled around the end of the school years for my husband and I, we can finally sit back and write a review!
We took on the task of planning a wedding in 4 months, and Allison and Silver Bear were nothing short of amazing. From our first meeting with her to any communication thereafter- she made us feel at ease about every aspect of the day. The day of the wedding was no exception- especially when she saved the day (or at least my mother and I's anxious minds) by somehow finding body tape (in our very lived-in bridal suite) for a my ripped dress. What can she not do?!?
Of course, her and Silver Bear's work speaks for itself. As I'm sure every bride says, Allison's images of our wedding are something we will cherish forever. Not just because they are STUNNING (I keep looking at our pictures and finding new details I didn't even know about!), but because the pictures she and her second shooter took captured our people so perfectly. We loved our wedding- the decorations, venue, and style- but more than anything the best part was knowing that the barn and chapel were going to be filled with individuals who were our best friends, biggest supporters, invaluable mentors, and freakin' sweet dancers. Because of Silver Bear, we have so many beautiful images to look back on and laugh and cry- and laugh so hard we cry about. On top of that, our gallery was done way earlier than I thought!
If their incredible work doesn't convince you and you need a review- I would absolutely recommend Silver Bear for your wedding. They're just downright good and fun people to be around. I hope they can continue to shoot other milestones in my husband and I's journey. I wonder how they feel about a cat glamour shoot... ;) JK!
BY FAR THE BEST TEAM!!!! I absolutely loved everyone. They are just flat out amazing and not to mention funny people to be around. They made everything perfect. Our pictures for our engagement shoot came out amazing and Allison got them to us in a matter of hours pretty much. We’re super anxious to see our wedding video and photos! But with them you can’t expect anything less than perfection. We will definitely be doing other photo shoots with them! They will be your top choice! Don’t even think twice about hiring them because we didn’t!
Y'all!! Hands down the best! It has almost been a year since our wedding last summer, and I am still in awe of our wedding video. The Silver Bear team was so fun to work with; they are extremely professional and made what could be awkward for some (being in front of a camera), a lot of fun! They truly have an eye for the details and take pride in their work and it shows! We highly recommend Silver Bear Creative!!!
