Before we jump into my story, I want to reveal the mystery of how to pronounce my name: Bear-it Biz-jack (I couldn’t have married a ‘Smith’ or ‘Jones’, right?!).

My passion for photography began when I was in school as a Fine Arts student. I started off with a film camera and fell in love with every aspect of it. I still have my very first frame: black wired chairs surrounded by a puddle. There was something special about black and white contrast and the reflection. From there, I knew that people would have a reaction to what I was seeing and really began honing in on my skill to capture details that evoke emotion.

With every wedding I photograph, I believe it is important to give back. I believe wholeheartedly that protecting our earth protects the world’s population of living beings. We have been given a great responsibility to protect all of the elements to live in harmony. For every new wedding contract I receive, a percentage is donated on behalf of my clients to the Rainforest Trust. I am so impressed with their vast reach and ability to make a difference. I want that impact to carry through with what I do.

I have an insatiable love for travel, adventure, and connection so I’m constantly inspired and amazed by the people that I meet, places that I visit, and moments that I capture. I love diversity and being part of all the things coming to the forefront is exhilarating. It’s an absolute honor to be able to document these moments for people in a creative way.

I’ve spent more than 20 years photographing weddings around the world and truly love what I do.
