⚠️ BEWARE – Balvarado Photography / Brayan Alvarado – Houston, Texas
I hired Brayan Alvarado of Balvarado Photography for my husband’s 65th birthday celebration on October 2, 2026, and paid $400 for photography and video services.

Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. The photos I received were not professionally edited. Many were dark, had poor color, and a large number were taken from side angles rather than straight-on or front-facing angles. The overall quality was not what I expected after paying for professional photography services. Even more concerning, I never received the video that was included in the $400 payment.

After expressing my concerns, I was promised a refund. However, the refund was not provided, and I continued receiving excuses. When I attempted to resolve the situation, I was eventually told, “Do what you have to do.”

I gave the photographer an opportunity to correct the situation before posting this review. As of October 6, 2026, I still have not received the promised video or refund, and the photos have not been professionally edited to the standard I expected.

What makes this especially heartbreaking is that these were supposed to be memories of my husband’s 65th birthday, a very special milestone that cannot be recreated. I am deeply disappointed and feel that the memories I trusted a professional photographer to capture were not preserved in the way I had hoped. Unfortunately, I cannot get that day back or recreate those moments.

This review reflects my personal experience with Balvarado Photography and Brayan Alvarado. Based on the quality of the work, the undelivered video, the unresolved refund, and how my concerns were handled, I would not recommend these services.

Please do your research before hiring a photographer, and make sure all services, editing expectations, delivery dates, and refund terms are clearly agreed upon in writing.
