behind the lens

Hey Beautiful People!

We're Steve and Janell, the husband and wife team behind Brilliant Captures.  Real Estate Developer and Physician by day ;Rockstar Photographers on the weekends!! We're thrilled that you're taking a few moments to learn about us and we've thoughtfully prepared this next section with you (our potential client) in mind. We've included the principles that define our experience and who we are as photographers. Within these next few paragraphs many of our our clients get that light bulb moment, and they know if we're the right fit for them. We'll cross our fingers and meet you at the end of the page.

 

Serve, Serve, Serve!!!

Our commitment to service isn't just a buzzword; it's the foundation of Brilliant Captures. We learned its true meaning on our own wedding day. We had vendors who were simply 'good,' and then we had two who were absolutely amazing – they served us with genuine care and went above and beyond. Those are the ones we remember fondly to this day.

​

We built Brilliant Captures by injecting that same level of selfless dedication into our DNA. Think of us like your Best Man and Maid of Honor – we're heavily invested in your best interest. Whether it rains, plans change, or things don't go exactly 'by the book,' our focus remains solely on you and ensuring your experience is as wonderful as possible. It's a privilege and an honor to be a part of your significant moments, and we bring this humility and commitment to every single session, big or small.

Passion First, Business Second !!

A key differentiator for Brilliant Captures is that photography is driven by our passion rather than being our primary income source. This unique position allows us to prioritize the art of photography and the client experience above all else.

​

For our clients, this translates to exceptional value. We understand the financial considerations involved in significant events. While we consistently deliver premium quality photography, we have intentionally structured our business to be accessible. Our passion for capturing genuine connections and experiences outweighs the pursuit of maximum profit. We are equally enthusiastic about documenting grand celebrations as we are intimate elopements, valuing the unique story of every couple or individual we photograph.
