Bearfly Designs

BearFly Designs is a lighting design company based in New Lebanon, New York, founded by John and Rita Carver. Their credentials include an Emmy Award, two Axiem Awards, and multiple other nominations between them. That level of recognition in lighting design is unusual for a wedding vendor — it tells you the work is at a professional production level.

They specialize in personalized lighting design for weddings and events of all types. Their approach starts with understanding the venue and the couple's vision, then building a lighting plan that transforms the space. They also offer décor elements and rental equipment.

Their location in New Lebanon puts them at the intersection of the Hudson Valley, Capital Region, and Berkshires. They serve Upstate New York and Western Massachusetts, which makes them well-positioned for venues in the northern Hudson Valley, Catskills, and Berkshire corridor. They're willing to work with various budgets, which is worth knowing since lighting is often one of the first things couples cut when costs add up.

BearFly has 57 reviews on WeddingWire with strong feedback. Beyond weddings, they also provide film production support services, which is where the Emmy-level credentials come from. That production background translates to weddings in terms of technical precision and creative vision.

For couples at Hudson Valley wedding venues or Catskills wedding venues where the space needs lighting to come alive, BearFly brings a level of expertise that goes beyond standard uplighting packages. If you're looking for a Hudson Valley wedding photographer who knows these vendors, get in touch.
