Amazing team to work with!

The Brighter Lights Team that captured our wedding were incredible! They completed a highlight video and video package for us, and they were truly beautiful. We are so grateful to have all of the fantastic footage from our wedding day that we'll cherish forever.

Highly recommend!

We had such a wonderful experience with Julian and Kevin. Kevin was very responsive, answered all our questions, and was easy to deal with. We received our highlight video recently from our wedding on 9/11/21, and it was absolutely amazing. Kevin did a fantastic job highlighting the day to it's core. We can't wait to see the entire 8 hrs! My husband and I have watched the video prob 100 times already. Highly recommend Brighter Lights Media!

I cannot convey how incredibly happy we are with our decision to have Brighter Lights Media as our cinematographers! Christian, Chris and Ryan were amazing to work with - they definitely understand what couples are looking for! They enable you to relive the day perfectly from the little details to the sentimental parts to the fun atmosphere on the dance floor! They are professional, talented and fit right in to the crowd at the wedding. The compliments have been endless from our trailer to the feature film. We even had a viewing party for the feature film since our friends and family were so impressed with the trailer! We continue to recommend BLM to anyone and everyone! :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
