Friendly and fun!

While I ended up choosing a photographer that was more local to me, I was really impressed by the quality of the photos and of the conversation I had with Steve. He was very responsive to all of my questions, offered a great set of services, and most importantly, was just really fun to talk to. It’s so critical you like your photographer since you spend so much time with them on the big day – and Steve is very easy to like. I definitely recommend reaching out!

An Amazing Team!!

From the very first phone to the delivery of our wedding video and photos Steve and Janell have hands down been the perfect vendor. They helped us avoid a few costly mistakes during planning , save time, tears and a lot of money. Their experience, 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!!!!

Great Team!

The team is great! We had to stay at an air bnb because our venue did not have a bridal suite. Janelle and JD came to our air bnb before the wedding. We also had another photographer to come and take pictures of the groom and groomsmen at the venue. Janelle has unique inspirations, while JD captured every moment. The team did a great job at the wedding, their pricing was very reasonable, considering we had a large groom and bridal party, and a big family. I would definitely recommend Brilliant Captures. They are very talented at what they do and they want you to feel like you are very important on your wedding day. Thank you guys very much for shooting our wedding!
