Photo and film from one husband-and-wife team

We’re adventurers at heart, the fun ones. We want to laugh with you, explore with you, and truly live in the moment because life is made up of those little moments, and those are our absolute favorite.

After living in a van for three years (yes, really), we learned that life is all about the little moments: the laughter, the chaos, the quiet glances, and the wild dance parties in the kitchen. That’s exactly what we capture.

Beautifully imperfect and completely yours.

We show up as your friends, ready to tell your story exactly as it is. Photojournalistic, with a huge emphasis on emotion. We’ve been shooting weddings since 2013-14.

We immediately fell in love with Bear Creative's work. Then when we met, we were SOLD. These two are down-to-earth, fun, SUPER talented, make you instantly feel comfortable behind the camera, and are just straight-up amazing humans. HIRE THEM NOW.

Krista

Bear Creative creates pure art and not only can I not wait to make a photo book to look back at all the memories, but canvases and artwork throughout my house to admire! I look forward to having Gina/Daniel photograph my future life events and couldn't recommend them enough

Emma

Don't walk, RUN to book Bear Creative Co. Gina and Daniel are incredibly talented photographers/videographers and even more amazing humans. Beyond many many beautiful snapshots, we can say we've made lifelong friends with this awesome duo.

HIRE THIS DYNAMIC DUO RIGHT NOW. Stop scrolling through websites and IG and do yourself a favor and put all your eggs in Gina & Daniel’s basket. We hired them for our wedding photos/video and engagement shoot and it was everything and more. They are professional yet laid back and make the awkward photos so easy and candid.

Before you book

How do we book?

To book Bear Creative you simply have to pay 30% of whatever package you choose (this is your nonrefundable retainer - it is a percentage of your wedding but goes towards it and isn’t an additional fee) and sign a contract. The rest of the payment is due 7 days before your wedding day and all your payments, emails, notes, and important details are kept in your Honeybook account.

How many photographers will be at my wedding?

We will send a minimum of one lead photographer to your wedding. That means you get Gina or Daniel. Depending on your needs, there could be additional photographers and assistants to help capture your wedding day as well. We pull from the best group of creatives in the Columbus area (most of these photographers are even our best friends).

How will I receive my photos?

Bear Creative Co. sends an online gallery through PASS for viewing, sharing, and downloading. You receive the print rights for your images, so you can print with us or anywhere else your heart desires. Your gallery is up for 1+ year.

How do you describe your style?

Photojournalistic with a huge emphasis on emotion. We follow along on your day and capture it as authentically as possible. We want to enhance movement and moments. We want to help you live in those moments fully so that our images show you.

Will you assist and communicate with other vendors?

100%. We love working with your vendor team and often times we know them. That ensures that we are working together to make your day as epic as possible.

How long have you been shooting weddings?

We officially started shooting weddings in 2013-14 right before we got married. What a wild and epic ride this has been.

Will I receive unedited raw files?

We don’t often give RAW files. That’s not to say we haven’t or wouldn’t but that usually comes at an additional cost. We do store the RAWS for a full year and then only save the culled RAWS after that for an additional year.

Did we just become best friends?

We want to get to know you. Your adventure is worth hearing and sharing, and we’d love to be the ones to capture it. Tell us about your day and we’ll take it from there.
