Brett Charles Rose Photography

There are many decisions to be made when planning a wedding and none is as important as picking the right photographer (well, except for maybe choosing whom to marry but I trust you’ve done well in that department or you wouldn’t be reading this review!) One of the best decisions my spouse and I made was choosing Brett Charles Rose to photograph our wedding. From the moment we met with Brett, he put our minds and hearts at ease. His years of experience and training came across in his portfolio and I remember thinking “Wow! He made these very normal people look like movie stars!” The photos of my reveal were like a fairytale. Brett has a unique artist eye and not only did he get fantastic pictures of me and my fiancé surrounded by a lush green tropical foliage but he also took this one picture of our reflection as we stared into a pond. It’s hard to describe but he took a picture of what we were seeing and feeling at the time and it is one of the most incredible photographs I have ever seen. His out going personality yet calm demeanor was another huge plus. Gathering two families together for pictures can be a stressful event but Brett navigated it like a natural and the family portion of the photos turned out to be one of the most special parts of our very special day. The pictures of the ceremony and vows on the sandy shores of Mission Bay turned out wonderful beyond my dreams. My spouse and I were too caught up with each other to even notice but Brett was laying in the sand getting rose petal views of us at the alter. The final photos of the night were taken as the fireworks exploded in the nighttime sky above Mission Bay as we kissed romantically under the glowing fire light. The one bit of advice my spouse and I heard over and over again was make sure to slow down and enjoy the day because it would pass by in an instant. The photos Brett took caught that instant.

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.

Our pictures are amazing!! posted 1/8/2012
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.

I love my wedding photos. Brett photographed my wedding and was amazing! He was directive which my wild bunch needed and very creative. I have gotten so many compliments on the photos and many people have told me they are the best they have seen. He is a true professional and expert. I highly recommend him.

Brett is absolutely AMAZING!!!! I just got married on June 26th and he took the best pictures. The pictures were posted online two weeks after for all my friends, family and myself to see. He shoots from all angles and makes sure that there are a variety of creative shots. We loved working with Brett from our engagement session to our wedding day. His upbeat personality and his creative eye makes it that much more enjoyable. The rest of my vendors enjoyed working with him as well and my site would like to put this pictures of my wedding day in their office!! I highly recommend BCR Photography to capture the moments of your big day!

We haven't gotten our photos back yet, but based on our ceremony and wedding, we must say that Brett really took charge. That's exactly what we wanted! We wanted group photos, family photos, specific photos, and Brett took them all - he knows how to direct a large group of people and move them around to get that perfect shot. Super friendly, funny, efficient, and filled with a ton of great ideas (both artsy and traditional) - we just can't wait to see our photos! Also, very flexible and easy going as far as working with his contract - all around fantastic guy!

Talented, enthusiastic, fun, creative. These are just a few of the characteristics that describe Brett. We hired him for our wedding and he also did our engagement shoot. From the very beginning, we knew we made the right choice. We couldn't be happier with the result of our photos. He captured every special moment on our wedding day with a unique artistic style and he made the process fun and exciting. He made sure to ultilize our venue, which was a vineyard, to the fullest and truely brought out all the beauty of our special day. Brett is an amazing photographer and I highly reccommend his services.

Arc de Belle likes Brett - We did a wedding in La Jolla last year and the reception was at this REALLY GREAT penthouse downtown. The couple was adorable. I had the great pleasure of seeing the shots that Brett captured. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!
