Let me just say! Phenomenal photographer and team. Brett made my life so easy when it came to planning our photos throughout our engagement/wedding journey. From working with in our budget and our crazy timing fails on the day of to ensuring everyone got a photo while still keeping it all so fun and candid!. Just amazing. His team on the day of were so wonderful! So polite and accommodating to my crazy family. Brett's personality and love for not only his craft but his patrons are second to none. When we got our video my husband literally cried all over again. I know that sounds dramatic but let me just say it was that good! Haha I would and have recommended him to anyone who needs brilliance and hospitality.
Voted 2019's Best Vendor!! Truly everything we hoped for and more. I knew within the first 5 minutes that we made the right decision to go with Brett Charles Rose Photography. He articulates exactly what he wants from you as he's seeing the shots in his mind. He's great at communicating his vision and working with everyone around. Was pleasant, professional, direct, and fun all the way through the process. On our big day he worked his ass off. We have so much respect for him and his work ethic. You can see it in the pictures. Amazing work!! We are so happy with the way he captured our memories. Highly recommended! You won't regret it! Thank you Brett Charles Rose Photography.
Talented! Professional! Enthusiastic! Hands down our best wedding vendor! After our first meeting with Brett, we knew we wanted to book him. He captured our moments perfectly during our Engagement session in Balboa Park, our Beach Wedding Ceremony at Cardiff Seaside, and Wedding Reception at a private residence in Rancho Santa Fe. Brett was amazing with all our guests and our huge wedding party of 34! 13 Bridesmaids, 13 Groomsmen, 3 Flower Girls, 3 Ring Bearers, and of course, the Bride and Groom. I highly recommend Brett Charles Rose Photography for any of your photography needs.
Thank you Brett and Heidi for all your amazing work! We absolutely love our photos!!!
Brett was our photographer for our wedding March 2019. He did an amazing job as did his helper. His experience definitely shows. He kept it fun for the wedding party. And of course, the pics turned out amazing. Hands down I would even consider looking further.
We love Brett and so did our guests. We are very impressed by his enthusiasm and talent! We love our engagement pictures (complimentary) and love our wedding pictures even more! He makes this whole picture taking experience so memorable and easy. More importantly, we could not ask for a more talented photographer, both in terms of guiding us with poses and the production of final pictures. Wedding day could be stressful and tiring, but having Brett somehow makes you forget about stress - his enthusiasm is infectious! He cares about the pictures more than my husband and I did, which is a sign how much he loves his work. I would absolutely recommend Brett to all the future brides and grooms!
Brett was the absolute best! Our wedding was at kona kai 4/27/19 and he made all of our bridal/groom party feel like models! His professionalism and creativity made our pictures stunning. As we all know wedding before pictures can be exhausting but he made them fun! WE recently were sent a teaser of the wedding day photos and we could not be more pleased! He rocked and made our special day so memorable and we will have the most beautiful pictures to cherish for the rest of our lives. Highly recommend this talented photographer! He shot our engagement photos months ago and recieved an amazing guest sign in book & included in our package was a thumb drive to all of our photos. All of our families were so impressed in how lovely everything came out. Thanks so much Brett for making everyone feel so comfortable and at ease. Most importantly showing our love for one another so perfectly through the photos!
Brett is the absolute best!
He loves what he does... his work and attitude speaks for itself.
It’s been almost 2 years and people are still asking about our wedding photographer!
Brett Charles Rose Photography was by far, the BEST money spent on our wedding. From day one, Brett has been amazing. He was prompt with his response to our inquiry and invited us to his studio to meet him. As soon as we met him, we knew he was our photographer. He was laid back and down to Earth, but was still extremely professional and organized. (Which is a difficult combination with vendors.) He was making us laugh while putting together a time line and answering all of our questions. We booked him the night we met him! At our engagement shoot, Brett instantly put us at ease and we had such a fun time and ended up with some incredible photos! At our wedding, he captured everything while still keeping us at ease. Brett has such talent and such an amazing eye for photography. When we were going through or photos, we were amazed at the artistic and beautiful shots that he got. He got photos of us that we had no idea he was taking! Overall, our pictures capture everything we wanted from our engagement to our wedding, and more. I cannot say enough good things about this photographer. We will be using him for pregnancy and family photos in the future! Thank you Brett for making it possible for us to remember the best year of our lives, forever.
Brett was so great with our entire family! He worked with us when we changed our original wedding date and even showed up early to take pictures of the venue. From our engagement shoot to our send off I enjoyed that he was a big part of our special day.
While researching photographers, Brett’s work immediately stood out. His artistic eye for details, background and lighting are apparent from his work. We met with him and hired him right away. Our engagement photos are to die for, and we didn’t think it was possible but our wedding photos are even better!! He's all our guests have talked about, and he did an amazing job for us. He's fully committed to his profession and his dedication is top notch. You wouldn’t know it from his portfolio but he’s excellent with miscellaneous people who could end up in a photo- he keeps them OUT with his polite and excellent communication skills. He really went the extra 5 miles to get our sunset picture for us, he worked his butt off all day, and he was definitely the right man for the job. He kept us smiling and he kept the attention of everyone in the pictures, mostly by remembering their names. In doing all of this, he created amazingly artistic photos that still awe us. Do yourself a favor and set up an IN PERSON meeting - I’m a phone call person and the meeting is worth it. See what he has to offer and hire him! (Thank you Brett!)
One of the areas that you don't want to skimp out on is pictures (cut back on flowers, invites/menus, furniture rental- trust me, you won't regret not renting that couch no one sat on!) but pictures are a tangible memory that you will cherish forever. the 2 vendors that we found the most worthwhile were venue and photographer- which is where Brett comes. Brett is passionate and dedicated to his work, its not just a job for him. He goes above and beyond. If that means going overtime, waiting for the light to be just right, being patient with unruly animals- Brett will do it to get that shot. His work is artistic, pushing the envelope just the right amount and the furthest thing from a high school headshot. Go with Brett as your photographer- he will capture in print the memories you want to cherish forever.
There isn't anything I could say that wasn't 100% positive. The pictures speak for themselves, I love them all. Brett was able to get some great candids of the people I love, that I will treasure for a lifetime. He also got people to come out of their shells and be silly in his photo bus. I found some great pictures of my Grandmother. The engagement shoot pictures are as amazing as the wedding photo's. Absolutely loved working with him.
We love working with Brett, and his team. As a wedding planner, we work very closely with the photographer on timeline and assisting each other in keeping our couple on track and in good spirits throughout the day. Brett always makes our clients feel comfortable! He is fun, funny and professional. Not only does he make everyone feel and look great, but he also gets those unique and special shots you will continue to share for years to come!
We highly recommend Brett! You will never be disappointed. Thanks for being awesome!
Quite simply, Brett is an extremely talented and professional photographer. The pictures he took of both our engagement photos and our wedding were beautiful and authentic, and we highly recommend him for any event. He was enjoyable, friendly, and patient with the children as well. Thank you Brett!
Brett!!! Words can not describe how amazingly talented this man is! Went to the bridal bezar and stumbled across his work and literally my breath was taken away! We shook hands with him and set up an appointment and from there he photographed our engagement shoot with our 2 furry kids and let me just tell you his pictures of us turned out so incredible! We have used those pictures for Christmas cards for thank you cards for every kind a holiday you can think of cards it’s hanging over fireplace! Every time I look back at those pictures I feel like im back to that day! Fast forward a few months he then shot our wedding ceremony and reception, and let me just tell you this man is seriously so organized! He’s not only just your photographer he’s slightly your wedding planner/maid of honor/let’s get sh*t done! He makes you feel like the most powerful women! He makes sure that everyone is attentive to my feelings and he made sure everyone was ready and no drama or go away! We will definitely be including Brett for our maternity shoot one day and our baby shoots, I just love him so much! He’s been in the business for a very long time so trust his judgment and just look at his photos they speak for themselves! Cheers to all!
Brett was amazing for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos! He is both professional and fun and helped to make everything go smooth on our big day! The pictures took my breath away and were more than we ever could've asked for. He is the best!
We used Brett and the photobus for our wedding and honestly, can not say enough good things about him. Literally obsessed. He is everything we wanted in a photographer and our pictures came out amazing. Each one is better than the last. Thank you Brett!!
I can’t say enough amazing things about Brett! Not only were his pictures AMAZING, but his personality and personal touch to everything he does. By the end of our wedding he was like part of the family! He catered to everything I wanted and I didn’t even have to say anything because he get to know the couple so we’ll that he vibes your style. He’s worth every penny. I would use him over and over .
Lindsay and Bill M
Brett - where do I even begin!? Loved everything about him from his amazing, sweet, outgoing personality, to making my dreams come true! Amazing engagement photos and even more amazing wedding photos. A little hesitant when I was choosing a photographer because we all know how things can go wrong, but with Brett by our side from start to finish I not once had any worries or fears about these photos. Photos on your "big" day are extremely important, one of the best things you can include into your budget when this is one of the best ways to reminisce on your beautiful wedding day. Thank you, Brett, for your kindness, amazing spirit, and love of photography. It definitely shows in your work and we look forward to future "big" days in hopes of working with you.
Brett photographed our wedding, and was absolutely amazing! He has been a pleasure to work with, from the first time we met him, to doing our engagement photos, to making our gorgeous guest book, to the wedding day itself. He has a fantastic personality that perfectly suits the job, and the pictures he takes are stunning! I can't recommend Brett highly enough!
After reading the reviews on the knot we decided to meet with Brett to see what he could offer as our wedding photographer. After meeting with him, we got an amazing vibe and decided that he was probably the photographer we wanted but we definitely had to do our due diligence and meet with others. We probably could have just gone with him after the meeting because all the other photographers we met with did not match his enthusiasm and personality. For what we paid, he provided more than we expected. His professionalism was great but he at the same time made the shoots seem very relaxed. My husband and I definitely recommend Brett because he has an eye for amazing shots and we are more that happy with all the pictures that he shot for our engagement and wedding photos. Thank you Brett for capturing the beautiful moments.
Brett was great. He was super friendly and always quick to reply to my calls and emails. I was really anxious for our engagement shoot but Brett was able to put me at ease. My husband and I were really happy with our engagement photos, wedding photos and wedding video! He put together a wonderful guest book of our engagement photos and I hope to make another book for our wedding photos. I love one stop shopping!!
Brett is an absolutely amazing photographer! His photos are breathtakingly beautiful, and he is such a pleasure to work with. Brett makes everyone feel at ease, and always provides clear direction on the poses he wants. If you are looking for a true artist to photograph your engagement and or wedding, Brett is the man you should call. I can't recommend him highly enough!
Wow. I don't even know where to start. I give Brett and his team a MILLION stars! They were AMAZING and the definition of a perfect photography and videography crew. Brett is so upbeat and fun, making our day even happier! Timing was on point, and we couldn't have asked for anything better! Our pictures turned out sooo great and the video was just touching. I am so glad we chose Brett and will definitely be going back. I highly recommend him and no one else!!!!
Best investment ever!!! Best photography and videography! I honestly haven't seen the pictures yet but I know they're going to look amazing because he does an amazing job! He definitely knew what he was doing and stayed on schedule. We got along really well and really tailored the day to us. Amazing!!!!
Brett's photos are some of the most creative and beautiful photos I have ever seen. I am Obsessed with my wedding photos/engagement and couldn't have made a better choice in photographer. His lively and fun attitude makes the whole process super fun, not the usual "pose here"..."look there"....he makes you smile and create a fun atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable, and with his talent takes EPIC photos. I would recommend him to anyone for any occasion. Not to mention, he goes the extra mile to make you satisfied, and creates albums for a lifetime.
Brett was a great photographer and all parties being shot agreed! Beautiful photos, great direction, and very energetic. He was also great with my 1yr old niece. We couldn't be happier!!
Brett is honestly a true artist!! He is so great at what he does. His work is incredible. He takes the time to make sure everything is prefect for every shot.
Brett was awesome to work with. His energy and high level of professionalism made us feel comfortable during our engagement and wedding photo shoots.
Our photo's turned out amazing because of Brett!!
-Tommy and Brittany
Brett was wonderful in our Engagement and Wedding photos. Very thorough, and made sure to get all of the photos we really wanted. Everyone at the reception loved his energy and how he was able to put everyone at ease.
We love our photos, and even have some inside jokes that we will share with the family. He is fantastic
Brett is by far the best investment I made for my wedding! We used Brett for our engagement pictures as well as on the wedding day, and I could not be happier with the way everything went. Our engagement pictures are amazing and I am absolutely obsessed with our wedding pictures! Such amazing quality that I will love forever! His work alone speaks for itself, however, I cannot recommend Brett himself highly enough. He is extremely professional and put together and kept the entire wedding day rolling- which, as the bride, I appreciated very much! Everyone in the bridal party really enjoyed his enthusiastic personality and had so much fun throughout the day. Brett really is the whole package as he and Kelly worked seamlessly together to get all the 'must have' shots, but was also able to be spontaneous and artistic with every opportunity that presented itself! I loved loved having him as a part of that very special time and definitely plan on using him for all of my photography needs moving forward!
Brett and his assistant Kelly were amazing to work with! They made us feel so comfortable and confident. Brett is awesome at directing how to pose to come out with a beautiful pictures. While working with him you can see how passionate he is about what he does and it shows through in his work. He is a true artist! He is outstanding at what he does!I couldn't be happier with my pictures and choosing Brett to photograph my wedding! He created beautiful images and memories that will last a lifetime and I'm so thankful to have found him!
Hire this man to be your photographer! He is as good as it gets!
Photography was for us, as it is for many couples, the most important aspect of our wedding. We spent more time and energy looking for a photographer then we did on any other aspect of the wedding. I believe we ended up interviewing somewhere near a dozen people - overboard yes but it was really important to us.
We fell in love with Brett right away - we met at his studio where he had set up candles on the stairway leading to the entrance to make it feel romantic (nice touch!). His studio is beautiful, he has some amazing pieces all over the room that had me turning in circles the second we entered. It was fantastic to be immersed in his work rather that just looking at books (don't worry, he has lots of books that will make your eyes bug out of your head too). We had a great chat and knew walking out of the meeting that we had FINALLY met our guy!
We did an engagement session with him so that on the actual day we'd feel more comfortable. It was a blast! He gives great direction and pays tons of attention to even the smallest details while still managing to make you feel natural. It can't be an easy thing to try and coach non-models to turn into a model for the hour/day but Brett manages to do it.
So glad we did the engagement session because on the wedding day when he showed up we were now greeting a friend, not simply meeting someone we hired. He was a rockstar all day long. He took everything we said to heart and made sure to get shots that were important to us. He worked so hard to make sure every moment was captured. He was on ladders, crawling on the ground, crawling on the rocks at La Jolla Cove, he stopped traffic for us (literally), partially cleared out a restaurant for us! He really went above and beyond every expectation we had and my husband and I could not stop commenting to each other throughout the day with how glad we were that we had gotten Brett.
One of our wedding guests came up to us and said, "I don't know anything about photography but THAT guy is a photographer!!" That was a big theme of the night, everyone told us how impressed they were with him!
Brett's work is simply breathtaking. His lifetime of experience (literally lifetime, ask him how he became a photographer) is so very evident in the finished product. He doesn't simply take pictures, he creates art.
I hope you make the right decision and hire this amazing artist to capture your special day!!
Brett is SERIOUSLY THE BEST!!!!!!
We knew that for our Wedding what we would remember most after all of the hustle and bustle were going to be our memories of that day; something only an experienced photographer would be able to capture. After I met Brett at a Bridal Expo I absolutely knew he was going to be the one to capture those memories perfectly. Brett it not just a photographer on your wedding day he is also a friend, planner, coordinator and overall a part of your day. Brett started with our engagement shoot in which he captured our love perfectly in a vineyard and had constant communication with us after the engagement shots all the way until the wedding. Brett is approachable, professional and overall precise and dedicated to his clients. He is very personable which allows him to really get to know his clients and what is important to them so that he can capture that on their wedding day. I could never have asked for a better photographer. The albums, photos and proofs are beyond beautiful and captured our day in its entirety. Just showing any of my photos to friends and family have made them want to use him for all of the big events in their life. It is rare you find a photographer with such precision, talent, and true passion in his work. His work is flawless and overall beautiful. I was blown away by the end results from the proofs to the album to the video. Brett and his crew are definitely the best photographers in the business.
We were beyond excited to have the opportunity to do a once in a lifetime engagement session in Paris, France with Brett Charles Rose. Brett did an incredible job of scouting the city the day before our shoot, so by the time we met him he had all the best locations and fabulous spots picked out for us. Brett had such an amazing eye for what would make the best shot, no matter how dirty the ground or how busy the street, he would be lying down on it to ensure he captured the perfect angle and lighting. We loved the way he adapted his plan when we suggested an idea or his eye was opened to a great new opportunity, which led to some of our most memorable and unique shots. His enthusiasm and passion make him a true joy to work with and we couldn't have been happier or found another photographer that could have given us the photos that we now will cherish for a lifetime. Seeing the results of his hard work was the cherry on top of our incredible experience. We will recommend Brett to everyone we know and look forward to using him in the future to capture all of our family memories.
Brett deserves 10 stars in each category!
Brett called me 1 week before the wedding to help organize my crazy timeline for my wedding party. I had a 10am wedding so we had quite the tight morning timeline starting at 6am for the groomsmen. Brett was punctual, organzied and so much fun to work with. We had a 18 person wedding party, a 2 year old ring bearer and a 3 year flower girl and my daughter 13 months old. Brett was amazing with all the kids and all the rowdy groomsmen! I was so impressed how well the little ones took direction from him and how beautiful their pictures turned out.
I received my pictures just a few weeks after the wedding I was blown away. He captured all my favorite moments and all the details that went into planning the day. Brett definitely captured all the hard work that went into planning. Going through the hundreds of pictures,I felt like I was re-living the special day all over again.
I have to say the day went as planned, minus the short time of light rain after the ceremony and still were able to get all the picture locations at the venue site that I hoped for.
I would highly recommend Brett and plan to take advantage of his photography skills in the future :)
Hiring Brett was the best decision we made in our wedding planning! Our photos definitely stand out amongst other wedding photos we have seen. We have so many we love, it's going to be so hard to pick which ones to blow up!
Brett was such an amazing photographer. I have seen his work on both sides of the aisle, as a coordinator and as a guest of a wedding. From a coordinator's point of view he is great about staying on the timeline and getting all the amazing shots! I can see how he works with his clients and makes them feel comfortable and at ease. I've also been in front of his camera as a guest at a wedding. His professionalism and demeanor are beyond other photographers. He has a way of making every person in a photo laugh, stubborn kids (my 7 year old cousin) grandparents etc. and really captures those amazing shots! Can't wait for the next wedding with BCR
Brett was our photographer for our engagement and San Diego wedding in Sept 2014. If you are looking for a great photographer that is fun, energetic, easy to work with, and of course produce AH-MAZING photos, then he is it! You will see his work on his walls and portofolios in his beautiful studio in Old Town when you go to his consultation. He had great recommendations on places to shoot for your engagement/ wedding venues, hotels for getting ready.
We got ready in downtown San Diego at the Hard Rock hotel (he arrived around 10 am), 2 pm ceremony at the San Diego Mission, and 4:30 pm Reception at Green Gables Estate in San Marcos, CA. We had 12 person bridal party and 200 people at our wedding. Throughout the entire time, Brett was so energetic, keeping everyone focused and keeping up the momentum, which can be difficult for a long day as we had. He had never been to Green Gables but our pictures were gorgeous. There is one particular photo that looks as if it is from a fairytale/ Midsummer Night Dream- the look and feel that I wanted. But honestly all the photos were spot on what I wanted- a modern feel for the prep photos, historic traditional feel for the ceremony, and a whimsical/ fairytale feel for the reception You can see some of my photos on his blog located on his website under April and Nick Sept 2014.
Note: Good photographers range around $4,500. Yes pricey- but photography lasts a lifetime and it is worth every penny. His prices are very reasonable for the quality you will get- you will not be disappointed! Just an FYI- One of my bridesmaids is now using his talents for her wedding in Chicago.
Brett was our photographer for our wedding at Paradise Point in San Diego this past July. But it all started many months before that when we met him at his studio for the first time. We had drinks, discussed, looked at his incredible artwork around his studio and just got to know each other. At that point there was no doubt he was the right guy. And it was one of the best decisions we made! Brett is incredibly talented and is an absolute pleasure to work with. He not only captures timeless moments but has the vision to help create breathtaking photos. During our reception the sun was just starting to set and he managed to sneak us out so that we could take photos on the beach at sunset. These photos turned out gorgeous and ended up being some of our absolute favorites…and it never would have happened without him! Brett has the skill, organization, professionalism and personality to make any event flawless and fun! Words alone cannot express how much we love our engagement and wedding photos and our experience with Brett! I also did a boudoir shoot and this ended up producing some amazing photos and it was a great time! We would choose Brett every single time and we will absolutely be using him again in the future. I would recommend him to anyone planning a wedding or any event…you won’t regret it and I guarantee you will love all of your photos and your experience with him! Thank you Brett!☺
I honestly do not know where to begin with Brett. Let's just say he is AMAZING!!! If I could give him a bazillion stars I would. He has great energy & really knows how to get those perfect shots you hope to get. Complete package 100%. I met Brett at a Bridal Bazaar and I knew then that he was the one to beat regarding a photographer we wanted to work with. He was so laid back and cool. Little did he know what was stored around the corner for him at our Halloween wedding. From the engagement shoot all the way to the wedding, Brett was a true professional. His passion for everything he loves, whether that is taking photos, listening to music, or surfing exhumes from his presence. He is just a wonderful person to be around and he really makes you feel like a friend instead of a client. We could not have asked for a better photographer & he is worth every penny! If you hire him, be ready for him to make you look like a model in your photos and who does not want to look like that. :)
We met Brett at the Bridal Bazaar at the Del Mar Fairgrounds last year, and his personality and photos stood out from all the photographers we saw at the event (plus he had already worked at our venue and we were able to look at an album for a wedding he shot there.) After looking over the work on his website and doing an in-person consultation, we went with Brett due to his amazing work (especially the creativity and vibrant colors in his photographs), his experience, and his easygoing, friendly nature which would help us relax on our big day.
We decided to pay a little extra to add some time and be able to shoot our engagement shoot at both Balboa Park and at La Jolla for the beach sunset shots. Al and I scoped out Balboa to pick a couple spots and trusted Brett's recommendation on the beach location. For the engagement shoot Brett showed up early, gave great instructions, made the experience fun, and listened to what we wanted (we both love shots of nature and were very happy with how he incorporated, plus we wanted to include a shot of the 'I Love You' sign in ASL and the results were stunning.) He was very friendly and great at managing onlookers and other people hanging out at the location which gave me faith he would work well with our guests and families. Brett was very thorough, stayed longer than planned, and gave us over 200 photos from the shoot which came out stunning! We were able to use the pictures on our wedding website, for our Save-the-Dates, and of course on Facebook and for personal use.
For our wedding day, again, Brett and his assistant Pete arrived early and stayed late. They worked efficiently, professionally, and were friendly and in good spirits with our family members, friends, and guests. The photos were breathtaking and beautiful and we could not be happier with our choice!! My dress was non-traditional (a turquoise color) and Brett did an amazing job at both showing the vibrancy of the color and providing shots that played the tone down. We received compliments from family and friends and are even giving some good friends the gift of an engagement shoot with Brett for their upcoming nuptials - they are psyched!
My husband and I met Brett long before we were actually engaged, luckily for us we had kept his card. Brett is the best photographer we could have asked for. He is high energy, fun, and a true professional.His pictures are gorgeous, my husband and I recommend him to anyone who is looking for an amazing photographer! Thank you so much Brett! You and your team gave us our memories in print!
Where do I start! Brett really is the complete package for a photographer! He made us feel so comfortable and special from our engagement shoot all the way through our wedding day. Brett is professional, very responsive, and has such an awesome personality/energy! We absolutely LOVE all our pictures!!! Our family is still raving about how truly amazing Brett is and his quality of work. Thank you Brett!
From the moment I spoke with Brett on the phone till the photos were delivered, I knew we were in the hands of a master photographer. Brett understands the business of wedding photography from many perspectives: the individual personalities, the creation of a mood, the preparation leading to the wedding, the timing and flow of the wedding, the specific choices of those being wed, the wedding as a show, the inclusion of the families and friends, the backup so as to not miss important shots, the delivery of the finished products of photos and albums, the availability of photos for friends and family to review, and the fun of it all. HIs photography is of the highest caliber; creative and true to the moment. When it comes to love that leads to a wedding, Brett connects the dots with his photos. We were direct with Brett about our desires for the photography, especially because we were two men being wed. Brett was flexible and cooperative. We couldn't be happier with the results. From a business standpoint, Brett delivered on time and as promised, and we feel a professional and personal bond to him, and most grateful.
As my Husband and I started to think about planning our wedding, we didn’t know where to start. So, in hopes of learning what San Diego had to offer we headed to a Bridal Bizar event. With so many vendors and so much to choose from it is easy to feel overwhelmed at one of these events, but then we saw Brett. I was drawn to the great colors in his pieces and the beauty that he was able to capture. Then we had the pleasure of meeting him. He was so energetic and fun we were both smiling during the entire interaction.
After meeting with Brett one on one we were excited to book him for our engagement shoot and our wedding photos. My Husband and I are not always the greatest at taking photos, but half way into our photo shoot we were having a great time! Brett is great at giving direction so the pictures look natural but capture the best of you. Posing for pictures does take some effort but it was nothing compared to Brett, laying in the street or rolling in the sand, all to capture a perfect picture for us.
When we saw our engagement pictures my jaw dropped! They were better than anything I could have hoped for. Brett captured the fun, joy and love in such an amazing way. The lighting was wonderful, the colors were vivid and all of the little details were paid attention to. I was so happy to have so many great pictures that captured such an important moment in our lives.
The day of the wedding Brett’s team worked very diligently to capture as much as possible. They were polite and direct and somehow managed to get all of the sweet little moments as well as the big ones. From location to location Brett and his team never seemed to get tired or give less than 100% effort. They were always smiling even in the midst of what could be very stressful.
Our decision to work with Brett was by far the best and most important. Our pictures are incredible, they bring a smile to my face each time I see them. He was professional, fun and kind at all times. He is an incredible photographer and a good friend, I highly recommend hiring him.
Brett was the first and only Photographer we met with. We were sold when we saw his photos but It's Brett's energy that really sealed the deal. He is so passionate and excited about what he does. Our first experience was our engagement shoot at the beach. We could tell immediately that this wasn't his first Rodeo! Brett is a true professional. He was amazing on the day of the wedding. We had some challenging timing issues since our guys were coming in by boat. Brett didn't miss a beat. It was almost like he was in 4 places at once. We trust Brett completely! Our photos are always amazing! He has taken several family photos for us since the wedding and he will be our go to Photographer from now on.
Almost 4 years later and I still look through my wedding photos often. Brett's imagine is astounding. We would be on our way to location to take a picture and something would capture his eye and take another - those were some of the best ones all day. He was super fun and laid back and just wonderful! HIGHLY Recommended!
We first met Brett at the 2013 Del Mar Bridal Bazaar and extremely happy we stopped at his booth. He clearly showed us that he had a strong passion for his work and knew he would be a perfect fit for our wedding. We absolutely loved how both the engagement and wedding photos turned out. The actual engagement signing book turned out a little too good and we didn't want anyone marking it up. We ended up printing off one of the engagement photos for a signing frame. Brett was crawling on the ground and climbing the ladders trying to capture those perfect shots and we were very impressed with all his hard work. He gave excellent direction in all of his shots and knew when to get everyone focused while still keeping the moment fun. We highly recommend Brett Charles Rose Photography!

Brett was absolutely the most professional, talented, hardworking, and just genuinely nice photographer! It is completely obvious how much he enjoys his work and goes all out to really make the subject feel comfortable. Our wedding party and guests all love the photos, as do we! We could not have asked for a better photographer! Not only did he photograph our wedding, but also our engagement and Christmas 2013 pictures. He is our go-to photographer
I am sure the wedding day is so important for all the brides and grooms, and everyone just wish to have the best vendors possible for their big day. It was not different at all for me! I believe among all the wedding vendors, the photographer is the most important one, since photos are supposed to capture the good moments of your day and that is what you will have for the rest of your life.
Me and my fiance searched a lot and interviewed more that 15 photographers. Finally, Brett's friendly approach besides his professionalism and the packages he offered made it easy for us to make the decision.
He did our engagement shoot and also our wedding ,and we are very happy with our photos.
He is outgoing and honest and will not promise something that he can't make it.
His photos are so artistic and he color corrected all of the them.
He is responsible, funny, outgoing and professional.
You can relax on your big day because he will capture beautiful moment of your wedding.
Recommend him big time.
Our sister-in-law used Brett for her wedding and we knew right then there that we had to use him for our wedding the following year.
He is super easy to work w/ and fun to be around. Brett was able to connect with everyone in the wedding party as well as all of the guests. To this day we use his photos and our guests continue to express how much fun they had at our wedding and how great the pictures turned out.
Highly recommend!
Brett is a very SoCal laid back guy, very easy to talk to, but when he's shooting he's on another level. He will do anything to get the most amazing shots. His imagination and passion for photography are beyond compare. The results speak for themselves when it comes to his products. My husband and I were beyond thrilled at the volume and quality of photos that come from our wedding and reception. Brett was also very flexible with us when coordinating traveling to NYC for the wedding. He worked with us on the pricing to ensure we could keep it within our budget, but I will tell you that we got more than what we paid for. The colors are vibrant and he comes up with very original compositions. Some of the shots looked like they could be album covers or magazine covers, and that's because Brett will make you look like a rock star! He and his team are awesome, and genuine, good people. We hope to keep in contact long into the future and would recommend anyone looking for a wedding photographer to check him out.
Brett is by far, one of the most professional, energetic and wonderful people to work with.
Brett shot both our Engagement and Wedding pictures and every single one was perfection. He has an eye for the unique and artistic shots but also is able to capture the emotion and more intimate moments of your wedding day. I am obsessed with my wedding pictures.
He and his assistant were professional and got the wedding party through all of the photo ops as fast as can be. They had us laughing non-stop (wedding party pictures can be grueling) and it seemed like they never took a break. They were EXCELLENT during the ceremony and got shots that bring me to tears. They were everywhere but NEVER ONCE were in the way. I swear they are ninjas; unbelievable.
I would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer; his personality cannot be beat. He arrived early and stayed late to make sure that he got every single moment. He truly cares about his clients and never double books himself. Derick and I were his only concern that day. Brett is awesome. Book him. You won't regret it.
Brett is Amazing! Not only does he take the most beautiful pictures, capturing every part of your day but he also has such a cool personality. It’s no secret that pictures are one of the most important parts of your wedding day so my fiancé and I sought out to find the very best. It’s overwhelming how many “Wedding Photographers” are out there and claiming they can do a great job. But what we found was the ones that were clearly amazing were way overpriced and the ones who had reasonable prices were so “blah”
When I found Brett on the Knot, I was excited! His pictures on his site were exactly what we were looking for. Meeting Brett for the first time, we knew that he was the perfect guy to shoot our wedding. One of our biggest concerns was that I have a big Mexican family needed a guy who had a strong but fun personality and control of the place. His upbeat personality seemed like the perfect match for us. It seriously felt like we were hanging out with a friend since the very first time we met with him.
Our package included the engagement photos and without exaggerating every picture he took was just awesome! He is so creative and talks you through everything, posing you perfectly so that you get that super cool pinterest looking photos. We got the flush mount album and the quality of it is superb.
A few weeks before the wedding he met us at the venue to check out the place and make sure he was familiar and ready for the BIG DAY. Even though our venue was up in Temecula he made the trek to make sure he was ready for our wedding.
On our wedding day, he showed up way before the time he had to be there (I am sure he even stayed after). He was so fantastic- totally breaking a sweat making sure to get the very last detail of our special day. I can’t even count how many compliments I got on our photographer just the day of our wedding- before we even got to see the proofs. It was evident that he was working so hard to capture our day perfectly. He was on top of things, on the floor under things, in the bushes making sure he didn’t miss a beat. Of course our final product was fantastic! I picked up my pictures a week ago and I just can’t stop looking at them. I have cried tears of happiness just reliving the moments with the pictures- The compliments pour in everyday on what a wonderful photographer we had and what a great way to capture our wedding. I think the biggest problem I have is that I don’t have enough wall space for all of the pictures I was to print! Brett has made us life customers. I can’t imagine picking anyone else to capture the next part of our life together.
I have to say that I interviewed a lot of photographers for my wedding and hands down Brett was my pick. The thing that really stuck out for me with Brett was that when I began to talk with him about my venue and the style of photography I was looking for I could see the wheels in his head start to turn. He really made an effort to figure out what I wanted to see in my photos and gave me great advice/recommendations for the shoot. Brett was creative and helped me to envision exactly what I was looking for. My fiancé and I booked him right away and set up the date for our engagement shoot. Brett was very flexible with me when it came to changing the date of our shoot (since I did not have my outfit planned in time for the shoot) and went out of his way to accommodate us as much as possible. Our engagement shoot was a ton of fun and it was nice to have a photographer who was not only talented, but had a fun and positive attitude the entire shoot. It is important I feel for the photographer one chooses to not only be talented in photography, but also a lot of fun to be around since they are sharing your wedding day with. When I got the photos back from our engagement shoot I could not believe how beautiful and cool the pics came out. The day of our wedding Brett and his assistant showed up on time and ready to have fun. The entire day was a blast and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding. Our photos came out even better then I ever thought wedding photos could look and once I posted them on Facebook my friends/family went crazy over the photos. The photos literally looked like they had been pulled out of a magazine. Brett exceeded my expectations and I am so happy that he was there on my wedding day to capture our special moment. I give Brett 5 stars...and if I could I would give him 10!!! Thanks again Brett...you are awesome, amazing, fantastic, extremely talented and wonderful!!!:)
We used Brett for our recent wedding and engagement shoot. We loved the photos and the amazing colors ... He really makes sure he gets all the shots. His assistant was also very friendly - we loved the extra angles from having multiple cameras for various shots. We also had a large wedding party and Brett was great at taking control and making sure we got all the photos we would want after the wedding. He's fun to work with and open to any ideas or suggestions, although it was great that he located all the best spots ahead of time. We were also happy we didn't have to wait very long for our photos!
Brett and his team were great to have at our wedding and if we had the chance again we would choose them! You can't go wrong with him. He captures the fun and joy of every moment!
My husband and I first met Brett at the Del Mar Bridal Expo in October of 2011 and were instantly drawn to his energy, personality, and amazing photo books. We couldn't have made a better choice. Brett's work is amazing!! Working with Brett was very fun and relaxed. You will love his studio!! He has amazing and creative ideas and really takes the time to get to know you, and his work really does reflect our personality and taste. The photos we got back from our engagement shoot and our wedding were very individual and my husband and I were amazed at how he captured all the moments, Brett's work is not cookie cutter. I still cry when I look back on the photos, Brett beautifully captured the best day of our life and my most cherished memories. I am so thankful we chose Brett because you only get once chance to capture those memories and Brett and his staff did just that! We are so excited to get our photo book and have also ordered a wall collage, there were just too many great pictures!! Brett will work with your budget. We are also excited to work with him in the future for other photo needs. Choosing Brett would be the best choice you could make.
Brett is a truly amazing photographer! He recently did our wedding in Costa Rica and everything about our experience with him was wonderful! He took our engagement pictures, he did a beach session with us a few days before our wedding, he did the rehearsal dinner, and then the day of! It was great to have him with us for an entire week and he really captured every special moment for us! He had all of the pictures posted on the day he said he would and we LOVE all of the photos! It was really important to us to find a great photographer and get amazing pictures of our wedding and with Brett we got that and more! We look at our pictures all of the time and are so very happy with all of them! We love our pictures and are so thankful we will have these forever! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Brett! I am so happy we decided to use him and am very thankful that he was able to make the trip.
WE LOVE BRETT! We are so blessed that we had Brett as our photographer for our wedding! My husband and I both believed the photographer was the biggest and most important decision about the wedding and we made the PERFECT choice! We honestly don’t know what we would do if we didn’t have these pictures to look back on.
Brett is super easy to work with, and he is incredibly fun and professional – he is amazing at working with different personalities, family members and KIDS! Everyone at our wedding adored him and talks about how fun and interactive he was.
Our wedding day went by so fast, and we are so lucky to have these amazing memories through Brett’s pictures. Every time we look at them we are amazed at his creativity, the flow, and the detail! We did a lot of detail work at our wedding and he got every single piece! There isn’t one thing that we “wished” he had gotten because he got it ALL. We are so impressed that he was able to take the “traditional” photos that everyone gets at weddings as well as creative and fun photos – we don’t know how he got it all done but he did.
We can’t say enough about Brett and his team. He is a very special person and we are so happy to have him in our lives. We will recommend him to every person we know- and we will definitely be using him in the future for all of our family memories.
