SilverBear went above and beyond all of my expectations! I will never forget the ease of working with them. From our first meeting to a year after our wedding ordering out canvas! The first thing my husband said to me when we got in our car the night of our wedding was, “SilverBear was amazing! I am so glad we booked them- it wouldn’t have been the same without them!” Their work is stunning & if you aren’t booking Allison and the boys, YOU ARE MISSING OUT!

The Dropped Pin

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Athens, TX

Hey new friends! We’re Sam + Kyle elopement photographers splitting our time between the PNW and the SW in our RV. It takes a whole lot of badassery to make the decision to elope and we are very into that kind of energy. We believe in making memories and images that capture all of the big feelings, and the in-between moments that you want to relive over and over again. You know, the kind of photos that hang on your wall and make ya smile real big because you remember exactly how you felt in that moment. We are so glad that you’re here and can’t wait to run wild with you.

Sam and Kyle make an incredible creative team! We got in touch with them after a surprise elopement and were interested in them shooting our reception party. They excel in the elopement category as I am sure you can see from their epic portfolio, but they were just as amazing through the entire process and day of our reception. As with many couples these past few years, we needed to postpone our party for a year and a half before we could gather safely. Sam and Kyle kept in contact regularly and let us know we weren't alone. They provided some amazing guides and so much support while we worked through the challenges of planning throughout a pandemic and busy schedules. They have put so much thought and time into every aspect of their business and making sure their clients have a comfortable and beautiful experience when they work with The Dropped Pin. They encouraged us to sit down intentionally and to find time to go through the questionnaires together and it ended up making for some beautifully connected moments for me and my partner in the midst of everything else. This was all just in the lead-up to the day of! Sam and Kyle were punctual and showed up with plenty of time to get a lay of the venue while everything was still quiet. Like any "well-planned" event, everything ended up being behind schedule. This didn't phase Sam or Kyle, they just kept smiling and keeping everyone at ease, they truly did make herding cats look effortless! Now for the really good stuff, the photos. OMG, THE PHOTOS! Stunning. Breathtaking. Flawless. They were prompt with a sneak peek and final delivery and we are still taken aback at what they were able to capture. Having Sam and Kyle as a part of our day was the best decision we ever could have made. Friends are obsessed with them and the photos they took so I really hope we will get an excuse to work with them again one day!

They showed up early to the venue and captured so many wonderful moments that I didn't even know to ask for. The wedding party pictures were awesome, and Pamela also took some great family photos of our 5 grown children and their families, just as I had requested. Featherlight Photos truly helped make our day so special and I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.
