The Bird & The Bear | Wedding Photographers & Videographers


The Bird & The Bear is a boutique, award-winning wedding photography and videography studio based in Austin, Texas. Led by Bryan and his crew, the studio offers photography and film from one full-service team, with a signature, playful style that is genuine and relaxed, never cheesy or contrived. They specialize in candid, natural, romantic moments, from big milestones like the first dance to the laughter and small details that only happen once.


With more than ten years of experience, the studio focuses on a calm, stress-free experience for couples. They plan ahead with each couple and communicate throughout. They work only with a team they trust, so that couples can relax on the wedding day. Their goal is to capture the whole day, including family moments like grandparents on the dance floor and a father walking his daughter down the aisle.


The Bird & The Bear describes a fluent cultural understanding of South Asian and Indian weddings and welcomes inquiries for multi-day celebrations.

Bryan and his team at The Bird and the Bear were absolutely fantastic to work with. From our engagement session to our wedding day, Bryan made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. He gave us just the right amount of direction, and also captured the most beautiful candid moments, resulting in photos that truly reflect who we are and all of the joy, love, and emotion of the day. Beyond his talent behind the camera, Bryan is incredibly professional, organized, and experienced. He really understood our vision and brought it to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. Looking through our photos feels like reliving every special moment, and we couldn't be more grateful to have those memories preserved so beautifully. If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel at ease, capture genuine moments, and deliver timeless photos you'll treasure for a lifetime, we can't recommend Bryan and The Bird and The Bear team highly enough.

Bryan is an amazing addition to anyone's special life moments. The amount of focus, care, precision, and vision Bryan brought to my wedding day was immense. He captured everything and the mood of the day shone through his product. Not to mention, Bryan went above and beyond, braving brief downpours, to capture important photos for my bride and me.

We had an amazing experience with The Bird and The Bear. Both of the photographers and videographer did a fantastic job capturing every part of our day. From the start, they were incredibly organized and clearly very experienced. They guided us through where to go and what to do during photos, which made everything feel easy and natural. Their direction helped us stay relaxed and enjoy the moment while getting beautiful shots. It rained a bit on our wedding day, which meant we had to change plans for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception locations. They were incredibly flexible with all of the adjustments and always seemed to know exactly where they needed to be at the right time. Their ability to adapt so smoothly made the day feel stress-free. They also paid great attention to the little details and made sure no special moment was missed. Even with the rain, they turned it into something special by capturing beautiful photos of us walking down a path with an umbrella, which ended up being some of our favorite shots. Our videographer was also fantastic—he clearly knew what he wanted us to do to capture great highlights for our video and gave easy, helpful direction along the way. During our first dance, the team was constantly moving around to capture different angles and make sure every moment was documented. Overall, they went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for how beautifully they captured our day. We would highly recommend them!

Picking The Bird The Bear as our photographer and videographer was the best decision we made in the planning process! Bryan was a joy to work with and gave super helpful direction. He captures little moments and feelings so beautifully and delivered everything quicker than expected. Bryan and his team covered our whole wedding weekend--rehearsal dinner, welcome party and wedding. We received a good amount of previews within days of our wedding and received our full gallery and all videos in less than 2 months! We both cried going through everything for the first time and I know we'll treasure these memories forever. Highly recommend Bryan and The Bird The Bear!
