My first wedding event at Bear Mountain was an unforgettable experience, a perfect blend of nature’s grandeur and the couple’s love story unfolding before my lens. I was fortunate enough to receive a call from this lovely couple, entrusting me with capturing one of the most beautiful moments of their lives. The day began early, the crisp morning air carrying a sense of excitement as final preparations were made. The mountain’s sweeping landscapes, towering trees, and shimmering lake provided endless inspiration, giving me both confidence and a wealth of material to work with. As the ceremony unfolded, I played with the contrast between color and black-and-white imagery—vibrant hues highlighting the joy and celebration, while monochrome shots captured the timeless emotion of quiet glances and heartfelt embraces. The evening wrapped in laughter and dancing beneath string lights, and as I took my final shots, I knew I had documented something truly special—not just a wedding, but a day filled with raw, unfiltered love.
