The Bergreens are absolutely amazing! Marc and Brenda did our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn't be happier. My husband and I are not the most comfortable people in front of the camera but the Bergreens make it fun and helped us to feel natural while taking photos so that they could turn out so beautifully. They are able to make you feel comfortable while simultaneously taking breathtaking shots.
The biggest thing we were looking for from our photographers was to capture the emotions throughout our wedding day as best as they could through pictures and they did just that!
We couldn't be happier with the whole experience!

TLDR: Hire the Bergreens right away!

There is a lot of fluff out there in the wedding photography world these days, trendy filters slapped on mediocre shots for a crazy fee. The Bergreens are decidedly not fluff. They are thoughtful artists, hardcore adventurers, and two of the loveliest, kindest people you could hope to know. The pictures they take are brilliant beyond words; I have photographers in my family and even they were floored by the artistry and quality. If you want awesome photos and want to have an awesome time taking them, hire the Bergreens.

You should especially call them if you have an adventurous shoot in mind (they can keep up, promise), if you like to explore amazing places (they know all the good spots) and/or if you just like hanging out with wonderful people (pretty easy to look good in photos when you are enjoying yourself and at ease). Can't say enough good things about Marc and Brenda!

So the most relevant question you might ask yourself is, “Why do this?” Why hike to a remote part of the wilderness and have your wedding photos taken? Because after the wedding is all over, other than the marriage, the memories are what you keep. Photography is a big part of cherishing those memories.

Before meeting them on our wedding day, they had kept good contact with us through e-mail, phone, and Skype throughout the year. They even sent us a beautiful care package for our wedding!

Our experience was all together adventurous, memorable, and spiritual. We met early in the morning at Sequoia the day of our wedding just before sunrise. Standing on this peak looking over the distant mountains and misty valley below as sunlight broke across the landscape was magical, and it’s a moment you only get once. Marc and Brenda knew exactly where and when they could capture the best shots. It was everything and more than we wanted and envisioned. Marc and Brenda were wonderful throughout the morning shoot, even sharing their incredible knowledge about the park! They moved around and took pictures from every angle imaginable; they were humorous and good conversationalists as well as minimal with posing instructions. They made us feel at ease and comfortable; we found ourselves cracking jokes, dancing, and making up silly vows while posing. While we were having fun, Marc and Brenda took care of the rest. Quite the opposite from what many may dread from a photo shoot, we felt refreshed, invigorated and already married! We still talk about this as a positive springboard into our actual wedding day.

The photographs Marc and Brenda took of the ceremony and reception were just as stunning as the pictures they took on Moro rock. At one point, Marc was up in a tree off to the side getting a great bird’s eye view of the reception. Brenda and Marc excel at catching spontaneous moments when everyone is just having fun and being themselves.

We did one more photo session in Yosemite. Again, team Bergreen was fantastic! They knew the area, where to get the best photos, and how to get there with minimal hassle.

In summation, working with Bergreen we got more than just beautiful photos. We got those moments, the hikes, the sunrise at Moro Rock, kissing inside the trunk of a Sequoia tree with dogwoods flowers blooming nearby, dancing under the sunbeams on a hiking trail, climbing atop boulders and tree trunks, strapping on hiking boots with our wedding clothes on, walking through the crowds at Glacier point, testing our nerves at the very edge of Taft point, and looking across all the beauty and majesty of these national parks in breathless wonder. We got an adventure that infused our wedding day with joy, beauty, nature, and love; we can’t recommend them enough!!

Thank you Marc and Brenda for all the memories!!

Bergreen Photography shot our engagement photos as well as our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Marc and Brenda were professional, calm and engaging during the whole process. Their eye for capturing the perfect shot was evident by the amazing reviews we received from friends and family. They truly plan the entire process for a smooth wedding day. We couldn’t be happier with all of our photos in addition to the great memories we had throughout the whole process!

Other than actually ending up married, photos were the most important item for us. We are cost conscious and had certain elements we were looking for in photographers. We are so thankful we came across this team for our Yosemite National Park elopement! As our only "guests", they made the day incredibly fun, yet made sure we had the intimate elopement vibe we were going for. They are so knowledgeable and passionate about the parks and their process. We loved having two shooters to provide different perspectives. Nearly a year later and we still hear from family and friends how blown away they are by our photos. The day goes by so quickly that the pictures are the only way to remember some of the little moments. I can't wait to have another reason to meet them out for a day of exploring and shooting. I would recommend them without a single hesitation to anyone.

As soon as we met Marc and Brenda we knew we wanted them to photograph our wedding. Not only were the pictures they showed us of their past work incredible but they were fun and easy to be around. The second time we met them was for our photo date. We met them a little early and were able to hang out for a little bit before starting to take pictures. We have never had professional photos taken and they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The turn around for our engagement pictures was quick and they were perfect. We were married at Piney River Ranch and we really wanted our pictures to capture the beauty of the surroundings. They certainly did this and more. They took so many pictures and we have great variations of close ups as well as pictures that capture the beauty of the environment. They really listened to our vision and made sure to give us exactly what we wanted. Marc and Brenda are amazing photographers but they are also professional, they respond quickly to questions, and they are so easy and fun to be around. I couldn't be happier that we worked with them for our wedding. I would highly recommend Bergreen Photography.

My wife and I had the privilege of getting photographed by Marc and Brenda for our engagement photos (Mt. Evans) and wedding (Ten Mile Station @ Breckenridge). I say privilege because both of them are fantastic. They made us feel comfortable and were always looking for ways to get us the most amazing photos. If you like good people and great photos, then Bergreen Photography is the only choice.

We could not have been happier with the photography that Brenda and Marc Bergreen did for our wedding!!!  We had an autumn ceremony and reception in Yosemite.  Our priority was capturing the splendor of our natural surroundings while not losing the unique feel of our wedding.  The Bergreens went above and beyond from the initial consultation that they did with us and throughout our wedding day.  The photos were nothing short of spectactular!  The service that the provided on the big day was top notch!  And, they were genuinely fun to have around!!  Everyone who sees our photos is equally impressed with the work.  We can't thank the Bergreens enough!!!

Shame this scale only goes to 5 stars - I would keep clicking as many stars as I could... We hoped to find gifted artists for our engagement and wedding photos and Marc and Brenda provided so much more than just their unbelievable artistry. We found kindred spirits, fellow backpackers and climbers, and two of the most genuine and thoughtful people you can imagine. They were incredibly communicative from the moment we contacted them, and paid close attention to our hopes and goals for the wedding. Their "day of" approach was professional without being stuffy, and we will forever be grateful to them for capturing every special moment. Our photos were ready amazingly fast, and they were infinitely patient with our anxious adjusting (and readjusting) our album proofs. We are left not only with impossibly beautiful photos, but with two new friends and fellow adventurers whose exploits we love to follow!

Bergreen Photography gave me the wedding photos of my dreams! I knew exactly what I wanted, and searched high and low for that. As soon as I came across Bergreen, I knew immediately they were the ones! I am beyond happy with our experience and I truly believe we have the best wedding photos I've ever seen. We got married in Yosemite and I wanted photographers who were experienced and familiar with the park. I couldn't have dreamed for more! They knew all the best spots, and they even met us in the park 2 days before the wedding to take our valley portraits so we didn't have to worry about that the day of. The photo date (engagement session) was a total blast! Marc and Brenda even let us choose a place we wanted to meet. They went above and beyond and met us at Point Reyes National Seashore. As soon as we met them, it felt like we were old friends. It was so comfortable, relaxed and FUN! We loved every moment and the photos are such a treasure. They really have a great eye for capturing not only the love between a couple, but this incredible scenery as well. I HIGHLY recommend Bergreen to any couple. I would choose them again over and over if I could.
