Hire Bear in Motion!!!

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!

Incredible video and group to work with!!!

Josh and the bear in motion team are incredible!!! They are prompt with responses, open to questions and professional. Not to mention extremely talented at what they do! Being recorded isn’t natural for most people but Josh and his team make it easy for my fiancé and I to relax and simply enjoy the day. They truly captured all the joy and gave us a video and memories we will cherish forever!!! If you are debating on whether to hire Bear in Motion trust me you will not be disappointed!!!!!
