about bergreen photography education

we are the bergreens

  • husband and wife (madly in love)
  • adventure partners (built on trust)
  • engineers turned entrepreneurs (designing our lives)
  • proud parents (big fans of type II fun!)
  • photographers, filmakers, and educators (obsessed with stories that matter)

We didn’t want one last adventure… we wanted a life full of them.

We met ice climbing in the Eastern Sierras while studying engineering and leading outdoor trips at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. From the start, we were a team… on the mountain and in life.

During our honeymoon (on a tiny island in the Caribbean), we made a bold decision to leave our desk jobs and chase a new kind of freedom through photography. Since 2011, we’ve photographed hundreds of weddings, launched a thriving photography business, and learned how to build a life aligned with our values: creativity, purpose, and a deep love for the outdoors.

what we do now

Since 2011, our business has been a reflection of our lives—rooted in adventure, shaped by change, and fueled by a love for storytelling. We’ve crossed state lines and seasons, grown through uncertainty, welcomed a new generation into our family, and found clarity in the chaos. With each chapter, our creative path has deepened.

Today, our work centers around two passions: capturing meaningful stories for brands and nonprofits, and sharing our experience with photographers who are ready to grow.

Still, the spirit that started it all—love. adventurously.—is alive and well.
