    Love them!

    Gemini and the Bear is such a wonderful team to work with! So fun and talented. They really listened to what we wanted and captured our wedding exactly as we dreamed. They were also super flexible and accommodating of our unconventional event. We had so much fun hanging out with them, and we're so grateful for the amazing photos we have from them to remember and share our wedding.

    The perfect choice for our big day

    Gemini and the Bear are the best! When we first met with photographers, I really wasn't sure what direction we wanted to go in. I view myself as terribly unphotogenic and was most nervous about finding something to jive with. Jenevieve was the absolute coolest and made me feel so comfortable from the start. On the big day, it seriously felt like we had known Jenevieve and Ryan for years. They were consummate professionals but also really fun to work with. They were very accommodating of our schedule being hopelessly behind, finding ways to adapt and ensure we got as many photos as possible within a tight timeline. Ultimately I think the pictures speak for themselves. We got the obligatory posed stuff, which came out better than I expected, along with some intimate portraits and killer party shots. We are very grateful for such beautiful photos to help us remember the best day of our lives. Additional shout out to sticking with us amidst multiple COVID reschedules. We booked them all the way back in 12/2019 for a 10/2020 wedding that didn't actually happen until 10/2021. Thank you, G&TB!

    fun, creative, comfortable and unique engagement photos

    These two are both incredible and make a perfect team. I HIGHLY recommend Ryan and Jenevieve. They made us feel so comfortable right from the beginning. We had a great couple of hours, they are super friendly and easy to get along with. Jenevieve even helped me choose which outfit I should wear! They both definitely went above and beyond what we expected. The photos turned out amazing and we absolutely cannot wait to work with them four our wedding coming up later in the year.

    Absolutely Loved our Engagement Pics!

    We were looking for a photographer who is a bit quirky and fun, as we are not a super traditional couple. As I started to research my options, Gemini + The Bear immediately stood out. I loved the way that Jenevieve and Ryan had beautiful, high-quality images and were great at both incorporating Atlanta landmarks and pets in their photography, two factors that were very important. They had also previously shot weddings and engagement pics at the venue we selected for our pictures. Even though we were both concerned about a photo shoot being stuffy and posed, Jenevieve and Ryan made the day a lot of fun and really captured the look and mood we were envisioning. We are excited to use them again for our eventual wedding!

    Phenomenal Experience + Photos

    Jen and Ryan are SO kind and responsive. Jen was extremely receptive to what I wanted and didn't want and worked with my coordinator to make sure we had enough time before and after sunset for photos. They were extremely flexibly with travel out of state, and a joy to be around -- they hung out with us for awhile after the wedding was over and charmed everyone. We're excited to see them again at our friend's wedding in a few months, and are absolutely in love with the photos we've already seen.

    They may be too good for the wedding industry :)

    Ryan & Jenevieve are the real deal. They are extremely talented, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Ryan is not your regular run-of-the-mill wedding photographer. His photos are vibrant, dynamic and most of all, full of LOVE and JOY.
    Jenevieve perfectly complements Ryan, and is easy to talk to. They were both super flexible with us and communicative during the entire process. They are great and talented people, and I'm super happy we met them.

    Park Tavern wedding 3/23/2019

    When we set out to choose a photographer we knew this would be one of the more difficult selections for vendors. These are the people who will share some of your most intimate moments from your special day and there is a lot of ways that a bad photographer could mess that up. But, thanks to a fortuitous recommendation, we directed to the website of Gemini and the Bear and we were impressed. We messaged them and shortly after we were at the porter in Five Points to meet Jenevieve and Ryan. From the very start we felt at ease with both of them and we knew that we had met the people meant to capture our wedding. They are two of the most sincere, friendliest and dedicated people we have ever come across and they made it very apparent they cared about not only photographing our wedding but getting to know us. There were numerous ways that they went about making sure everything was executed perfectly including meeting up with us twice prior to the wedding to scope out locations for shoots, practicing natural poses and timing the whole venture out. But, just as important we developed a friendship with them over the months of planning up to the big day. And it is this friendship(that they clearly value to foster with their clients) that made for the exceptional experience and we believe what led to the amazing photos they produced. If you are looking for the people to not only give you stunning pictures but also make you feel at ease on your wedding day then look no further than Gemini and the Bear.

    Most excellent photographers

    These two are the best and work so hard to make your big day easy and comfortable and the results speak for themselves. We look back at our wedding photos often after almost 3 years and are so grateful for the spectacular memorabilia Gemini and the Bear provided with their obvious talents!

    Above and beyond!!

    I was anticipating a stressful wedding day, but not with Gemini and the Bear. Jenevieve and Ryan made the day so easy and everything was a million times better than I could have ever hoped. Aside from capturing all the big and fun moments, they really worked with us to make sure we had what we wanted and were even there for all the little things like fixing straps, makeup touch ups, and helping us find rings to use when we realized we forgot ours. The pictures were my number one priority and Gemini and the Bear delivered. I am so excited about all of my pictures and have gotten so many compliments from everyone that has seen them. I can’t recommend them enough!

    Artistic and Creative Approach to Wedding Photography

    Ryan and Jenevieve were the professional photographers for our son's wedding on September 22, 2018. They were a wonderful, interactive and energetic photography team. The photos in the online Photo Gallery were beautiful and we got many compliments on the quality of their work from family and friends. The gallery is easy to order from and Jenevieve has quickly responded to our questions and needs post-wedding. The wedding photos included the typical posed and candid photos taken before, during and after the wedding and during the reception. But photos were also taken that captured the ambiance of the wedding venue, unique decorations, props, bridal flowers and accessories, etc. The photographs reflected a unique creativity and artistic flair that truly captured the ambiance of our son's modern, non-traditional wedding. Thanks Ryan and Jenevieve for your excellent work!

    Ryan and Jenevieve are amazing! My husband and I are super uncomfortable when it comes to taking photos but they made us feel incredibly comfortable. The photos they took of our wedding went above and beyond our expectations and we will forever cherish our photos! They were even able to incorporate our nervous rescue pup! Jenevieve was responsive to all of my emails and set my frazzled brain at ease and Ryan did an amazing job of capturing candid photos of our entire ceremony. The pricing was spot on for the quality of work and I would recommend adding on the photo booth option! Our guests had so much fun taking home their own photos! I can't recommend them enough for capturing such a special occasion!

    Incredible!

    I personally have known these wonderful humans before our wedding but Ryan and Jenevive made our special day so much more magical than I could have ever imagined! I wouldn’t have picked any other duo in the world to help capture our day! They create the most beautiful works or art and are such a pleasure to work with! 10/10 would recommend them until the end of time! ♥️

    I loved the pictures on their website and after meeting them in person I was struck by how creative and professional they were. On the day of our wedding, they were so incredibly flexible and worked with us to create the editorial and fun style we were looking for--including a spur of the moment series of images with lightsabers! They have such a great eye for not only the best shot, but how to utilize the space and other items to bring it to life. I cannot recommend them enough!

    I honestly cannot say enough positive things about both Ryan and Jenevieve. Their work is phenomenal, they are blast to hang out with, and they made our wedding look SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL. They were worth every damn penny and then some. By far my favorite vendors. We looked at 17 different photographers while we were in the planning stages and there is literally no one else who even came close. All of our guests loved them and their work as well. My aunt told me that she wanted a redo of her wedding so that she could hire them. Seriously. Cannot say enough good things. BOOK. THEM.

    Ryan and Jenevieve are the best in the industry BY FAR. They have been the most hard-working, professional, kind, generous, and caring team the entire 6 months since we hired them for multiple wedding events and shoots. They even saved us money, a rare/special thing to be able to say about a wedding vendor!!! My husband and I are artists and complete weirdos, but we absolutely lucked out when we found Gemini and The Bear because we are so comfortable with them, they are truly the only photographer team that could capture US and our essence (we know this from experience with other photographers!!!)!

    Jenevieve and Ryan are true artists and they make the best team. They were able to capture some truly awe-inspiring photos, they even went through my Pinterest boards and recreated some of our favorite shots! Honestly Ryan's photos are even better than the ones on Pinterest because he is THAT talented. I've never looked more beautiful than through Ryan and Jenevieve's lens. They are incredible, impressive, and my husband and I completely fell head over heels with Gemini and her Bear!!!

    I can't tell you how much we love our wedding photos! Our event was not the typical, our venue is VERY low light and we did not want "precious" photos. I mean we hired a circus, we wanted photos of a party, full of color and light and laughter and we got just that! Ryan and Jenevieve met with us beforehand and over pizza we discussed how Ryan had a very special camera that could handle low light mixed with lots of movement, and how 10 circus performers, an engagement and wedding would need to be captured within a space of one hour. These two pulled it off perfectly! I feel so lucky that Nicolette, our coordinator at Paris on Ponce, knew about them! If you want professional people and photos that don't look like every other damn wedding these are your photographers.

    Beautiful photos, the BEST people to work with

    I got married a few years ago, and out of all the things we spent money on for our wedding, the unbelievably amazing photography is what has most endured. We had a thrown-together, last minute wedding with a lot of chaos and nutty family dysfunction, and Ryan and Jenevieve managed to capture the most beautiful moments of it (and elegantly avoid any of the stressful bits nobody needs to remember) and helped everything go smoother during the event. They were never judgy or intrusive, and they had the best attitudes throughout everything, going above and beyond at several points to make our entire wedding experience better. I felt so comfortable with them being around my most intimate moments--getting dressed, first look with my groom etc.--like having old friends in the room. In fact, my mom visited the other day and was looking through our wedding photo book reminiscing and said, "My favorite guest was your friend who was so kind and kept making sure I was comfortable. I can't believe there are no pictures of her." I was like, what? The wedding was strictly family only, who was this friend? Turns out she was referring to Jenevieve, who she still tries to invite to family vacations.

    Absolutely amazing photography service. Friendly, thorough, and the pictures are stunning! They traveled to New Jersey to shoot my wedding, and they were gracious and professional the whole time. My entire family is in love with Ryan's wife, Jenevieve, who is fun and helps Ryan with the photos. We got a teaser gallery of our photos within 2 weeks, and a USB drive with all our photos within 3 weeks. All the photos are digital and available online. If I still lived in Atlanta, I would hire them to shoot all my events!
