Hi 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.
