Anyone second guessing whether or not to hire a videographer to capture your wedding day, DO IT and hire Bear in Motion! My wife and I have so many amazing things to say about Josh and Rob. Our photographer, Mary Kelly, recommended using Bear in Motion as they have worked closely together in numerous weddings and hiring them for our wedding in September 2023 was one of the best decisions we made for the day. We were interested in finding a videographer who could capture all of the major moments throughout the day and distill it into a short video that we would be able to watch everyday and truly feel like we were transported back to our wedding day - and Josh did just that. From our initial conversation, we immediately knew we wanted him to be a part of our day as it truly felt like we were speaking to an old time friend. Initial planning all the way through to our wedding day was seamless. Prior to the wedding, Josh helped put together our timeline, which had a challenge of capturing two brides getting ready since we are an LGBTQ couple, and discussed our vision for our wedding film. He also spoke to us in detail about our mic needs and concerns, and walked us through exactly how we would be mic'd during the ceremony (which was a BREEZE with the mini mic pack and leg strap he provided and barely noticeable). On our wedding day, Josh and his additional shooter, his brother, Rob, were extremely professional, easy-going and were barely obtrusive to our guests' experience. In just a little over 2 month turnaround time, Josh already had all of our wedding video and footage ready for us!! We received a large amount of footage in hour and a half wedding documentary film that included us getting ready/reading our vows, our first look, our full ceremony, our entrance and first dance, dances with our fathers, full speeches, cake cutting and a bunch of other great dance floor footage! Our short film was even more than we could have asked for, capturing so many feels in just 4 minutes and 45 seconds. Bear in Motion truly exceeded all of our expectations, and we have video footage and new friends that we will cherish for a lifetime! -

As the daughter of a retired wedding videographer, we were absolutely blown away by the professionalism, quality of work, and artistry that Josh and the entire Bear in Motion team exemplified before, during and after our wedding. Our wedding portfolio exceeded all of our extremely high expectations, and we were so happy we chose Bear in Motion to create our film. Josh and team filmed our day with a drone and high quality video equipment, never missing a beat.
The audio was extremely clear and visuals were crystal clear. They created an amazing portfolio with digestible videos for our friends and family to watch. Josh got to know my husband and I so he could get a feel for us personally as a couple and to help select the most perfect music to accompany our film, and I mean perfect. Amazing music to masterfully create a truly classy and sophisticated film.
We would choose Bear in Motion over and over again to film our day. From the moment of our first call with Josh, we knew we had found a spectacular match to capture our special day. We could not have pictured anyone better. Thank you Josh and team from the bottom of our hearts, we are so appreciative for everything you did for us.
Look no further, you need to have Bear in Motion capture your special day too!Bear In Motion Filmmaking's reply:
Wow, just wow Lynsey! We can not thank you enough for this glowing review. We had so much fun with you, your family and friends! Your wedding day was nothing short of amazing and we're honored to tell your story. Thank you for putting your trust in us.

I highly recommend Josh baron and bear in motion films to hire for your wedding or any special event you want to capture! We not only had the best wedding day with them but the memories we now have forever to cherish are priceless. Josh went above and beyond to deliver us exactly what we wanted in our wedding video, we have watched it over and over to relive our beautiful wedding day. I cannot recommend Bear In Motion films enough, so talented and they all made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Thank you again Josh!! -

I don't even know where to start. We were recommended Bear in Motion by our good friends (we have multiple friends who have worked with Josh and the amazing Bear in Motion crew). We started with some really friendly emails and then had a Facetime call and we hit it off immediately. As this was one of our biggest investments we were unsure at first if we would want a videographer, and everyone else we had contacted did not make us feel we should make the commitment. But after just a few minutes on Facetime with Josh, we knew we couldn't say no. He was so passionate about his work and cared so much for us. So we booked them. Well.... COVID struck and we were so worried about rebooking our vendors and he was so flexible understanding, and reassuring the whole time we were not only relieved but once again reassured that we had made the right choice. They were so generous with accomodating our schedule and went above and beyond anything we expected. On the day of I woke up very hungover and was not feeling great, but when Bear in Motion got there they completely changed my mood around, it felt like they were long-lost friends that were just a part of our day celebrating with us. I felt the love from the entire team and I couldn't recommend these videographers enough. I honestly have already started brainstorming what we could celebrate next so we can hire them again. I read another review on here that questioned Bear in Motion's integrity and passion, it made me so sad because they were the complete opposite of anything that was said. They were so kind, made sure our day was amazing and helped my husband and me have the most amazing day of our lives. We recently got our films and what an emotional rollercoaster of love and happiness we felt. My husband and I watched it twice. We cried happy tears and were just so validated in our choice to have chosen Josh and Bear in Motion. It was so nice to have these moments captured to share and watch each year. One last thing that I have to mention is that Josh and the team were not just our videographers they practically helped us schedule the entire day and let us know what to expect just based on their own experiences including giving us time frames, helping with the DJ and so much more. They really provided us with so much more than just a videography service but so much more you don't even think about going into a wedding day and it was beyond helpful and generous. I could cry just thinking how much they became a part of this amazing day. I honestly had SO much fun with Josh and I am SO happy and blessed we were recommended Bear in Motion. I seriously can't recommend Josh or the team enough. If you are here looking for a videographer, I promise you have just found them. -

Josh and team were amazing. We weren’t 100% sure we wanted to hire a videographer but we are so glad we did. Josh went out of his way to host multiple calls with me to make sure we were a good fit and was so incredibly nice and professional to work with. The day of Josh and his team captured all of our moments including things I didn’t realize (DRONE FOOTAGE!!!!) and our final trailer and documentary footage was amazing. I sobbed the whole time watching it as it brought back so much and I got to see so much that I had missed. I cannot recommend them enough! Incredible team and incredible work. Definitely a memory we will be able to treasure for a long time. -

Oh my goodness!!! I knew Josh's work was special when I stumbled upon the Bear In Motion website 30 days before my wedding- but special isn't a good description. Josh's work is magical! His attention to detail, kind nature, and his passion deserves more than I can put into words. Josh and his brother Rob were so accommodating during such a stressful time due to COVID. Josh was quick to respond to all my questions, we spoke many times over the phone and via email to come up with a day of plan that was executed flawlessly! I am so obsessed with my highlight video!! It is worth every penny knowing we have such a beautiful video to look back on. Bravo, Bear in Motion!!Bear In Motion Filmmaking's reply:
Thank you so much, Jenna! What a beautiful wedding it was! Thank you so much for allowing us to be there. -

If we could give Bear-in-Motion (BIM) 100 stars, we most definitely would. They just made everything so easy and flawless, and the final product was unbelievable. There is so much to say about them, though we wanted to share just one moment that captures the team's greatest trait and gives BIM the ability to film and produce great content; empathy. As in most wedding days, our schedule got pushed back by ~30 minutes. We had a special dance (Zorba Dance) that we definitely wanted recorded, though with the delay, the dance wouldn't make it in the video, since we only had BIM until 9:30pm. Despite that, I asked Josh on the spot at 9:00pm if he would be willing to stay an extra 30-45 minutes past 9:30pm to record it, and with the biggest smile on his face, he said absolutely, and ended up staying free of charge. Our experience with other vendors was not the same. This simple moment shows BIM's unique ability to walk in the wedded couple's shoes and do the best job because they understand the significance of capturing the special day to the couple. This sort of empathy and human connection is easy to lose when you record tens of weddings per year. BIM still got it! Thank you so much. We would be happy to share more about our experience with BIM if any couple is interested in hearing more.Bear In Motion Filmmaking's reply:
Thank you so much, Vasileios! We are beyond grateful to have been a part of your special day! We had such a wonderful time with you, your friends and family! Congrats! -

From our first phone call to the end result of our video documentaries, my husband and I could not have asked for a more personable or genuine team to capture our wedding day! Having Josh and his team present throughout the wedding day felt totally natural and we could not possibly be happier with the end results! We would recommend Bear in Motion to all of our friends and family planning their wedding!Bear In Motion Filmmaking's reply:
Thank you so much, Caitlin! You, Nick and your friends and family were an absolute blast to work with! CONGRATS!
