Who's The Wedding Bear?
My name is Jared Fix and I am The Wedding Bear. Shot my first wedding in 2009. I think it’s safe to say I’ve been doing this for awhile and I love it!
My path of self work over the years has brought me to the realization that I thoroughly enjoy capturing emotion. A real moment in time.
With an extensive background in fashion, celebrity portraits, and film/TV award ceremonies, I bring a refined eye for composition, lighting, and storytelling to every wedding I capture. My experience working with high-profile clients and fast-paced events has honed my ability to anticipate moments, ensuring each image reflects both the elegance and sincerity of the day.
I love to photograph my couples in a way that is both real and beautifully true to who they are. My approach is unobtrusive, allowing the day to unfold naturally. I step in with direction only when necessary and never during an unfolding moment, focusing on observing and documenting genuine moments rather than staging them.
No matter the conditions, I can shoot anywhere, any time, any place. I love it all!
If you're booking with me know that I can bring your vision to life no matter what it may be!
Oh yeah and I am a proud new dad to baby bear Ethan.
My Style?
You’ve heard the WHY now for the HOW, My photojournalistic approach has always been and will always be my style. I am everywhere, all the time, all at once. On the hunt for emotions that tell a story of one of the most happiest moments of our lives.
I do not limit myself to one style of editing. My editing can adapt to the energy of each wedding, engagement session, and private event. I have never wanted to conform to just one way to edit. Having the creative freedom feels as though I am able to read the images to you the way I wrote them. If you will.

I love destination weddings!
You tell me where I'm going and I'll see you there!
