Brett Charles Rose Photography

unning. 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!

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.

hoot to our send off I enjoyed that he was a big part of our special day.

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!)

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.

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.

n 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!

highly recommend him for any event. He was enjoyable, friendly, and patient with the children as well. Thank you Brett!

ith 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!

y breath away and were more than we ever could've asked for. He is the best!

ures came out amazing. Each one is better than the last. Thank you Brett!!

ke 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

zing 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.

ous 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!

ed 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.

band 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!!

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!

beat 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!!!!

itely knew what he was doing and stayed on schedule. We got along really well and really tailored the day to us. Amazing!!!!

rapher. 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.

pier!!

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

ow 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

ng 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!

ures. 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!

d 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!!

g 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.

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.

he 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 :)

to be so hard to pick which ones to blow up!

t 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

se 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.

e. 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!☺

ose 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. :)

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!

, 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!

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!

ography 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.

ent. 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.

out 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.

ture 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!

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! J&J

ally 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

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.
