About
Hi there, I'm Crystal Summer Bear, a California native, worldwide traveler and lover of all things beautiful and whimsical. I'm so excited your here!
Helping couples feel confident and relaxed through a foundation of friendship + timeless, fashion inspired storytelling direction and posing that honors your unique love authentically, is what brings me true joy.
Preserving memories is my passion! My parents wedding album from 1979 is one of my most cherished possessions. It's like a story book I can revisit over and over feeling the love spill out of the pages into my heart.
Wedding days can feel like they drift by in a haze or even in haste. From the feel of the wedding dress on your skin, or the moment your eyes meet your true love, your 1st kiss as a married couple, to the scrumptious taste of dinner, the sweet aroma of wine and the last twirl on the dance floor before bidding farewell to your guests, you should feel relaxed and at ease to simply cherish each and every moment.
Weddings are my passion because it brings out all of the love, laughter and light that humanity is capable of & that EVERY couple deserves to enjoy without stress or anxiety.
When the guests have gone, the decorations are put up, the flowers wilted, the last morsel eaten and the last song played, I desire for you to relive the day through storytelling imagery + video that generations to come will cherish. Your love is beautifully unique and I'd love the privilege of telling your story.

I come from a prestigious history of photographers, one whom was my great-grandfather, Julian P. Graham, he photographed many famous, beautiful and glamorous people that visited, played and lived on the Monterrey Peninsula, including Betty Davis, Clark Gable, John F. Kennedy, and even the Windsors just to name a few. His ability to genuinely capture the personality of his clients has inspired me to follow in his footsteps.
Since taking my photographic passion and turning it into a business in 2015, I have had the absolute pleasure of capturing beautifully unique and perfect moments of love that make it so magical. From that once in a life time moment, when that special question is popped to engagement photos that let the whole world know you found your person, to the bid day when all those moments of planning come together in a celebration of love in front of all of your family and friends.
In an effort to become the best wedding photographer and videographer I can be, I've spent the last several years learning with the best of the best, from world renowned wedding photographers Rebecca Yale, Julie Paisley and Amy and Jordan Demos to Kevin Michael Schmitz (fashion photographer, producer and director). I believe in order to deliver a luxury experience one has to learn from the best in the field. Although I have photographed nearly 100 weddings I am a life long student and strive to learn, to improve, and continuely delivery a luxury experience to each one of my clients.
