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.
