About
I take pride in capturing form, shape, and light into a moving picture in effort to achieve balanced composition. The placement and arrangement of the visual elements through the viewfinder of my camera blend with my technical abilities in the digital darkroom to produce a film that captures audience from start to finish. I strive to capture the essence of your day, friends and family, who you are, and what this moment in time means to you.
Don't let the name fool you - we do not shoot on actual film (unless you want us to!). Our productions are fully digital and high quality. We shoot unobtrusively and produce for you the smallest of details. It is our goal to make your experience and memories tangible through a quality film that you can reminisce with days and years down the road! For additional work please visit www.hardemanfilms.com

Brett shot our wedding in July, and he did such a fabulous job on it that he made our single friends wish they were getting married just to hire this guy!! It has been 3 1/2 months since our wedding, and both my husband and I still cannot get enough of our wedding video. He captures the love and beauty of the wedding day. He is a true artist as his camera is his paintbrush and the world is his canvas. You will only receive a masterpiece with Brett.
Brett is so nice and friendly and makes you feel comfortable during the shooting. I think he said thanks after every close up shot of us. He also took good notes of our interests and personalities and incorporated it into the film. The church we chose was very important to us and he captured the beauty of it so well. He also added tons of little details that were very important to us. How he knows how to capture one specific moment in so many different angles is pretty amazing. The music we chose for our video was used so well. Many of our friends and family said our video should be the music video for the song.
We were so excited and amazed at how fast he was able to develop a flawless video. We watched it over and over for several hours our first night and will never get tired of it. Your wedding goes by so fast that you wish you could go back in time and do it over again. Watching your wedding through his film is the best way to do that!
I spent hours on end searching the web and watching samples of countless videographers. Need less to say I am a bit picky, but only because I knew exactly what I was looking for. Once I came across Brett’s work I was in love. It wasn’t the typical wedding video. You could feel the emotions and love coming from his videos. So, I emailed...fingers crossed...said a little prayer...that he wasn’t already booked. Thankfully Brett was available!! woo
On the wedding day and everyday before Brett was such a pleasure to work with. He and his camera b man (Rhone) were never intrusive on the day...but yet filmed right in the action.
The day we returned from our wedding I received an email from Brett that he was finished with the ceremony and working on the highlight video...needless to say I was suprised. Here I am at the airport and our video is already almost complete in a weeks time!!!
The video is beyond words. It is perfect and more than I could have imagined. Only having it posted for several hours we have received sooo many compliments. Brett has given us the opportunity to have these wonderful memories to watch for a lifetime. So, in short when looking for a videographer, skip the search, and just hire Brett. You won’t be disappointed. Promise.
My husband and I highly recommend Brett as your videographer. I already recommended him to a friend who used him this month. Brett is amazingly talented and so much fun to work with. Thank you Brett for putting this wonderful wedding video together for us!
What I liked about Brett is that I hired him and he took over the rest of it. He knew exactly the best shots to take and knew what I would cherish watching over and over. I didn't have to direct him to "Be sure to get this. Don't forget about shooting that" etc.
We brought him to our Mexico destination wedding in Playa del Carmen and not only did he capture the wedding, he was able to capture other events such as the days before the wedding and departing Playa so the video actually told a story.
The songs he choose for our wedding video came from our first dance together and some of the music he chose on his own. The actions he captured and how they went along with the tone of the music was outstanding. He really is meticulous in the editing part of the video which makes his videos stand out from other videographers out there. Many of the videos we saw when searching for a videographer were just a replay of the ceremony. Brett's films are different in that they are truly works of art. The video he made of my wedding still brings tears to my eyes, but he is so creative and good at what he does that I can watch other wedding videos on his website and I start to tear up (even though I don't even know the freakin' peeps!)
In fact, he was so good, I hired him again for our wedding and reception that we had in Austin for all the folks who couldn't travel to Mexico. Again-he delivered another video masterpiece!
Highly recommend Hardeman Films for your wedding video!
Side note to the ladies: Brett is also "easy on the eyes" with a great sense of humor so all your single bridesmaids will have no problem working with him to get your video just right! :-) Even my Austin wedding coordinator started asking me if he was single!!.....
We had one meeting with Brett before we signed contracts and that was all it took. He was friendly and showed up prepared! He gave us all the details we needed, showing us more samples, lists of songs, and asking us questions about us so that he could cater to our wedding style. We booked him a year in advance and he was on top of everything throughout the whole process.
Brett gave us even more than we expected with his dedication and hard work the day of our wedding. He showed up at our venue right on time and was ready with ideas and a plan. I didn't have to ask for anything and was completely confident that he knew what he was doing. Between Brett and his partner Rhone, they captured every detail of one of the most special days of our lives. I knew they were dedicated to getting the best shots they could when they convinced me and my husband throughout the wedding to step aside and do extra footage besides just the typical wedding reception events.
When it came to the finished product, we were absolutely thrilled! Everyone tells us it feels like a preview for a movie that is our wedding. Even family that could not make it were made to feel as if they were really there. Friends of mine told me even random strangers who happen to oversee the video were brought to tears. My mom watched the video over and over and still keeps telling me how much she loves it and wishes she had something so wonderful from her wedding.
I am so happy that we were lucky enought to find Brett so that we could be left with something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. It is not just a wedding video, it is a memory.

Brett's videos are simply amazing...great editing, music, style! He travelled to Cuero a couple of years ago for a ceremony/reception and we STILL view the video from time to time...it's wonderful!
Brett is such a talent! I was literally blown away after seeing the final video from a wedding that we shot together. He is amazingly creative and will be sure to create something totally unique that you will cherish forever without being cheesy!
