Brilliant Captures Photography & Short Films

ve. I remember saying to myself "Wow that's great energy and they seem so fun!" Next wedding we worked with Steve was less than a week ago. I left with even more, I left with some extra knowledge that Steve had no problem sharing. I really have to say, they do a great job and we would love to have the opportunity to work along side them again soon. Good luck and keep up the great work!!! -Artistee Lane

razy dogs and managed to capture cute shots of them. They were also brave enough to do a photo shoot and an Airbnb with roaming and very curious ostriches. Lol. The day of the wedding, she and her photographer were on it! She (Janelle) was kind of enough to make sure we sat down and ate our meal in peace. Engagement pics turned out beautiful and I cannot wait to see our wedding day pics!!

hat he made everyone feel comfortable being photographed. I am beyond excited to see my pictures but knowing how well they turned out from my engagement shoot I know they will be wonderful!! Steve will have to be my photographer for every milestone and possibly annual pictures because I love his work!!

y nice and fun to work with. My experience overall was so much fun.

his video! I have personally watched it about 50 times since yesterday. He artistically patches together the very best parts of a five hour evening ... not an easy task at all, given all that was going on. He caught all of the words we will want to remember forever. Many thanks, Steve. I can’t wait for the next family wedding!

es. He talked to me many times before the wedding to make sure he’d capture what I wanted and just overall calmed my wedding-nerves. If I could have another wedding (which I won’t) I would definitely choose Brilliant Captures again! 5/5!

came out amazing, and I got them back quickly. I highly reccomend him and will continue to recommend him to anyone I know looking for a photographer.

engagement photos and wedding, but to truly get to know me and my then fiance as people. They wanted to know our love story, and wanted to depict that in the captured photos. Steve was even able to round of my now husbands crazy but lovable friends. He was also able to be flexible, but stern enough to get our timeline back on track. Unfortunately, his wedding coordinator wife (Itheewed), and him have moved to San Antonio, but if you are wanting to have your wedding there. Please look them up!

ce, attention to detail and sincerity were apparent at every interaction — they were so much more than just our photographers . I highly recommend this Amazing Team!!!!

k he did was beautiful. I hate pictures of myself, but I can’t stop looking at these photos and they will be framed all over our home. Steve went above and beyond what a photographer is ever expected to do and I can’t thank Brilliant Captures enough!

that worked for us. I’m so grateful as a mom to have found his company (especially because I was from California planning the wedding in Texas)!

idnt understand why he was mentioning that when all I was asking for was packages and pricing. when we started to discuss pricing, he gave me a starting price. I asked about adding extra hours and he explained to me the final pricing would be depending whether or not his wife liked me and my fiance. he said they would invite us over and hang out with us to determine if they liked us or not and to see what kind of couple they would be working with, because he wanted to ensure we have "flavor". since when does giving out pricing depend on judging the people requesting your services? he then went on to explain he has OCD and would plan out my day for me as hes done this multiple times before but that was not needed as we have a wedding coordinator. also, I explained I was having an hour mass at a catholic church, he had the nerve to ask how important is it to my mom to have the full hour mass or if it could be cut down. if it wasnt important to us, we obviously would not have booked an hour mass. very offensive. I then informed him I wanted 12 hours of photo as I want my whole day documented, he was persistent in saying I didnt need a full 12 hours. I advised I want a 12 hour session and instead of telling me he cant do it or wont do it, he just said hes convinced I dont really need 12 hours. he also wanted to "stage" mine and my fiance's exit around 10pm as people wont stay at our wedding until 12am. I explained how my family and friends will be there til 12am as we've had multiple parties in the past and I know them best. i believe he just didnt want to continue to do photos or videos until 12am. he barely let me get a word in. he kept going on and on and didnt care to hear about what we were wanting or needing as far as photos or videos for OUR big day. very inconsiderate. I decided to end the conversation and will be going with another photographer would can listen to want we want and put their own creative twist and provide us with excellent service as this company couldnt.

you best day ever that you will look at upon and Brilliant Captures truly did an incredible job. We got the package including engagement photos, bridals, two photographers at the ceremony, one at the reception, video and wedding planning and having everything together took so much stress off of us. Janell coordinated with all of our vendors, created our timeline, helped us shop for decor, and had multiple budget and timeline touch bases. This organization truly helped. Steve coordidted every detail with our photos, he even checked on what outfit we would be wearing in our engagement session to make sure we were comfortable with certain poses, so organized. Steve’s photography is elegant, and full of emotion, you fall in love with you photos every time you see them. We were blown away by the amount of beautiful photos we got back from our wedding, hundreds of photos that made you relive your special day over and over. We also received our wedding video and photos right after our honeymoon, so quick! Steve and Janell are so laid back and can handle any situation, and will take any stress away from you on your big day. They even partner with an amazing florist, Bodacious Blossoms, that took everyone’s breath away with stunning floral arrangements, bouquets, boutonnières, archways, she can do it all and more! Brilliant Captures is a one stop shop and will truly help in every way for your best day ever!

y bridal party ( 9 bridesmaids and 9 groomsmen to be be exact) and we all know how difficult that can be. I love how him and his wife which was my wedding planner Janell worked together. They make a great time and know how to make the bride and groom feel special! I will recommend him to all my family and friends and will be using him in the future!!! Thank you so much Steve!! Go Cowboys!!

The photos and video that the Brilliant Captures team created were just amazing! We couldn’t be happier! Their professionalism, execution, and end-product are the best we’ve experienced. We definitely recommend Brilliant Captures!

eached out to me and offered to give me my videography for free because she recommended the original videographer I hired and felt responsible. Because of her conflict, Steve came to my wedding. He was kind and had everything together and seemed to be a really cool person from the interactions I had with him. However, AFTER my wedding was a different story. Apparently someone said something to him that hurt his feelings. It was completely out of my control. And instead of telling me or reaching out to me, he sent the money back to the person who hired him, and deleted my video. So after everything I went through, and the stress that already happened from the original videographer, Steve ended up ruining my wedding too. I tried reaching out to him and got continued lies and then eventually no responses, so I gave up. I have no idea about his talent or anything because he never gave me the ability to see it, but he is a shady person and I would give him zero stars if I could. It is petty and unprofessional to do such a thing in general, ESPECIALLY since I had nothing to do with it. Thanks for nothing.

nts; everyone is still talking about how gorgeous those pics were! On the day of the wedding, he was both our photographer and my comforter. We were running behind but he found a way to use that time wisely and get some bridal shots in. We were worried about losing the sun to the sunset, and he helped us navigate through the ceremony to shorten it and STILL get all of the shots we wanted before the sun set. I don't know if any other photographer would've had the patience or talent to get that done! I can't wait to see how our photos turned out!

at was not only in our budget but also way more than we could of asked for! We started out with an engagement shoot and then followed with the wedding! Everyone at our wedding loved Steve,s personality he even got down with us on the dance floor! I still have guest asking for his info! All in all we are beyond blessed to have had Steve and Janell as part of our big day.

eautiful photos and a stunning video of my daughters wedding that she’ll always have as a perfect memory of that day.

el relaxed if your camera shy like I am. It’s all about how you want to express yourself through pictures or telling a story in a video. If you want that once in a lifetime picture captured without worries Steve is the eye behind the lens I trust.

The video he made was just perfect and I can't wait to see our pictures! I would recommend Brilliant Captures to any and everybody!!!
