Authentic Wedding Storytelling Through Photography
Photography is storytelling—a series of images that transport you back to your wedding day. If you’re seeking a unique collection of photos that capture the raw emotions and candid moments of the day in a journalistic style, you’ve come to the right place. At Bear Run Media, we bring nearly two decades of experience to you and your family, breaking free from the confines of trendy and traditional wedding photography to create something truly personal and authentic.
approach
We believe your wedding photographs should tell the full story of your day—one filled with love, laughter, and genuine moments. Our focus is always on emotion and celebration, treating your family as if they were our own. With empathetic, fun, and outgoing personalities, we bring energy and ease to every wedding we document.
Our goal is to go beyond traditional posing, ensuring you can truly live in each moment while we capture it authentically. Every couple has a unique style, and we take time long before the big day to plan and curate a look that reflects who you are. We’re not interested in recreating the same photos you’ve seen again and again—we want to deliver a collection that both screams with joy and whispers with intimacy.
On your wedding day, we see ourselves as more than photographers. We are storytellers, journalists, friends, and sometimes even stand-ins for a missing groomsman or bridesmaid. Our mission is to witness and preserve the beauty of your day in its truest form, leaving you with timeless images that feel like you.

Testimonials
Taylor Smith - Bride
SO EASY to communicate with leading up to the wedding. Then, when he arrived day of, you just saw his creative wheels spinning. And, we got some AMAZING photos because of that creativity. He could look at the space and get creative within that space.
When you see someone working to get photos like that, you know they care about your photos as much as you do. I HIGHLY recommend Chris as a wedding photographer! I am so excited to see the rest of our photos.
Larson Patete - Groom
We had a great experience with Chris as our wedding photographer. He was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. He really took the time to understand our personalities and style, and the photos reflect that perfectly. Everything felt natural, not staged, and the final shots came out amazing. Highly recommend!
Lindsey Mills - Bride
Would recommend 1000%. Filling out a timed schedule before hand with the photographer helped a ton! He lead the afternoon/evening well and made sure we got what photos and moments we wanted captured! Thank you Chris!
