I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Brandon on June 7th for an intimate wedding at The Dana on Mission Bay. As a wedding coordinator, I'm always a little skeptical when working with new vendors because you never know what to expect in terms of professionalism, communication, and work ethic. Brandon exceeded every expectation. He was incredibly easy to work with, provided great direction during photos, and helped create a fun, relaxed atmosphere throughout the day. His sense of humor and lighthearted personality made the experience enjoyable for both the couple and the vendor team. From what I've seen on social media, his work is absolutely stunning, and I can't wait to see the full gallery from our event. I would confidently recommend Brandon to my clients and look forward to the opportunity to work with him again in the future. read more

I found Brandon through a simple search for a photographer in San Diego while planning a large corporate event, and I truly could not have made a better choice. We needed coverage for both our Welcome Event and our awards dinner the following evening, and from the very beginning Brandon was fantastic to work with -- we instantly clicked. His photos were absolutely amazing. He captured every moment perfectly, from the big highlights to the candid in-between shots that really tell the story of the event. On top of that, his turnaround time was incredible -- we received the full gallery within just one day. Hiring Brandon was an absolute home run. I would recommend him over and over again to anyone in the San Diego area looking for a talented, professional, and easy-to-work-with photographer. I only wish he were local to Michigan so I could book him for my son's upcoming wedding! Recommend x100. read more

I'm going to just put the photo evidence right here and let it explain why I won't be using this person's services. A simple breakdown of what is included in a photo session and what that looks like was all I requested. His service is offered with such disdain that it undoes itself; for courtesy is the price of worth, and he has paid none. When service is clothed in arrogance, it ceases to be service at all. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would in a heartbeat. Brandon photographed our wedding and it was the single greatest decision we made. He provided the most beautiful photos and gave the edits back so quickly. My husband and I are not normally comfortable in front of a camera and Brandon provided the best cues and tips on posing throughout the entire day for not only ourselves but our families as well. He also was extremely efficient with his time, was an absolute pleasure to be around, and went above and beyond to capture our special moments. He brought the most positive energy and we were all laughing the entire day. It is clear the Brandon is an extremely skilled and dedicated professional. We will look at these photos for years to come and will have the most special memories to look back on all because of Brandon. read more

Brandon was amazing through this whole process. I was coming from out of state and didn't know many locations and he picked out the PERFECT spot. He came up with a great plan for us, I didn't have to worry about a thing besides getting my fiancé to the location. I can't recommend him enough! read more

I contacted Brandon with the idea in mind to have a surprise proposal to my girlfriend at a Resort in Encinitas. Initially we spoke on the phone and he immediately grasped the idea and shared my enthusiasm for the whole day as I envisioned it. The week of the engagement, he met me the day before so we can go over all details and we can meet face to face which was also very special, helpful and not expected. Once the proposal came, he arrived earlier than we agreed, which was great and took a bit stress off my mind, was prepared and ready and really captured every single moment better than I could have imagined! After the proposal, we took several hundreds of photos in all different locations that he had in his mind as to what would make great photos. After the proposal we went to dinner with our families and once we got home he already had them all ready for us, I mean incredible. Overall, in my experience, Brandon is the absolute best photographer I could have asked for to capture this moment and he exceeded all of mine and my now fiancée's expectations. No matter what the occasion is, this is your guy, trust me, you will not be disappointed!! read more

Brandon was an absolute dream of a wedding photographer. From our first call, his positive energy totally put us at ease--we knew we were in great hands. He did a venue walkthrough with us months before the wedding, came prepared with creative ideas, and followed up right before the big day to finalize everything and calm any nerves. Day-of, he was amazing. Somehow everywhere and nowhere at once--totally unobtrusive but still captured every moment beautifully. He made everyone feel comfortable, and the photos are stunning. Our guests adored him too--he brought so much good energy, even hit the dance floor with us.. It felt like he was part of the celebration. We honestly can't wait to work with him again for future milestones. Highly recommend! read more

Not only are they incredibly talented, but they're also a joy to work with--professional, patient, and genuinely invested in getting the best shot.

Such a talented photographer! He exceeded all my expectations. I've worked with many photographers professionally over the years and by far, he outshined them all. Not only will he help with positioning, you'll feel natural and comfortable in front of his lens. The pictures he captured of our family are timeless and will always be cherished. Highly recommend! read more

We have had our family photographed by Brandon multiple times and could not be happier. The way he captured our family using lighting and the elements is breathtaking. He not only engaged our children but got them excited about taking family photos. Professional, personable, experienced, all of the boxes are checked. We will continue to go to Brandon to capture our family in the best light! read more

We had the absolute best experience with Brandon! Not only are the photos stunning, but they truly went above and beyond to make the session enjoyable--especially with our toddlers in the mix. They were so patient, playful, and made our little ones feel completely at ease. It honestly felt more like a fun playdate than a photo shoot! Brandon has a special gift for capturing genuine smiles, candid moments, and all the little in-between magic that really shows who we are as a family. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and will definitely be booking with them again. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Brandon is an amazing photographer. He did my son's graduation pictures on the campus at USD. He has since done his engagement pictures and will soon be doing our wedding pictures! His pictures are amazing & he is a great guy! read more

I found Brandon on Instagram when looking for a photographer to take our family photos. I'm so glad I did because he was willing to work with our timeline and budget and didn't cap the number of photos we would receive from our session like some of the other photographers I talked to. He was so patient with us and our 1 year old daughter during the shoot. Taking photos with a toddler, I was only hoping for one good photo but we got SO many! Truly don't know how he did it - so grateful to be able to cherish these for years to come. Highly recommend for family photos! read more

Brandon took photos for my surprise engagement and did a fantastic job. He was there ahead of time and set up to capture the moment. We took hundreds of pictures along the beach while he directed our poses. He also met us at the brewery afterwards for more pictures with our friends. It was a great experience 10/10. read more

Brandon is an amazing photographer and such a friendly person! Even though it was our first time meeting him for our pictures, he made us feel so comfortable and like we had known him forever. His photography skills are amazing and I would recommend him 100% for wedding photos. He is also very affordable compared to other wedding photographers I've researched. Thanks again Brandon! read more

Brandon is a phenomenal photographer. From knowing the angel and lens to use and setting up the perfect shots with grace and patience he is able to make you feel comfortable and capture the most pure and candid shots. I loved that he helps set up your stance or position with ease and gets really creative in his shots while working quickly and efficiently. Even with a big family to accommodate he called everyone by name and made the kids feel so welcome and included. Not an easy feat! Brandon was great to work with and we got the most beautiful shots that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend hiring Brandon for any of your family, wedding, or engagement needs. read more

Brandon Colbert Photography - Session Photography Near Me

We would strongly recommend Brandon Colbert for any of your photography needs, for any occasion. We worked with Brandon on both our engagement photos and wedding (including ceremony and reception). Brandon has an amazing ability to make anyone feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. We usually hate taking photos as we don't know how to pose and aren't very creative. However, we always had a lot of fun working with Brandon as he is happy to jump in and give you ideas for ways to pose and is happy to give feedback in the moment if helpful. We had a ton of guests at our wedding come up to us and express the same gratitude and compliment us on our choice of photographer. He also worked really well with our videographer, and we never even noticed Brandon throughout the day despite him managing to capture every moment, as he was amazing about staying relatively hidden and letting us enjoy each moment authentically. Brandon is also amazing to work with leading up to your session and after your session. Prior to the day we had a really helpful intro call where we were able to get comfortable with what to expect and we were able to collaborate on what we wanted out of our photos. He was always very responsive in answering any of our questions and requests, and always the first one to answer across all of our wedding vendors. After both of our two times working with Brandon, he was very fast in getting us edited and competed photos on a timely basis, far faster than what we've heard from other friends who've hired wedding photographers. Brandon's photos are always absolutely beautiful. He has worked across the San Diego area and really knows the best spots, angles, and ways to work with the scenery to get the most out of it. We received a ton of compliments on our photos for how unique and interesting many of the angles were. All of our photos we received were absolutely gorgeous. Even better, Brandon provided us with more than enough amazing pictures to choose from (allowing us to download as many as we want), compared to other photographers who only provide you a very specific set amount of photos which can often be quite low. You might find cheaper photographers but you will absolutely get what you pay for. Brandon more than makes up for his fees by providing flawless service and quality, and we are so glad we invested in such a great photographer. Overall we are extremely grateful that we found Brandon and that we were able to work with him for both our engagement and wedding, and we would recommend him to absolutely everyone. read more

Brandon was an amazing photographer! He was so communicative through the pre-wedding process. He arrived on time the day of, was creative and professional with the photos and guests! Our guests raved about how awesome of a photographer he was. He got our photos back to us in a reasonable amount of time and they came out better than I could have imagined. read more

Had another great experience with Brandon! This time for engagement pictures. Brandon was perfectly on time and had great communication throughout the day of the engagement, he made sure to stay close by waiting for me to pop the question and swooped right in at the perfect time to get some absolutely amazing pictures. He did a great job of getting pictures after the engagement on the beach, he was quick and efficient, leaving plenty of time for my Fiance and me to enjoy the sunset. Brandon then made sure to get the pictures edited the same night and they looked wonderful, none of the edits took away from the pictures and really enhanced the setting. Brandon is a wonderful person and I recommend working with him to everyone! read more

We scheduled a family session and had a fantastic experience with Brandon! Not only was he incredibly accommodating when we needed to reschedule due to weather, but he was also easygoing and fun to work with. It took a minute for my 2 YO to warm up. Brandon just let her be and guided us to be natural which turned out to be some of the cutest family photos. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful memories he helped us create and will definitely schedule a future family session! read more

We could not have asked for a better, more skilled, and more fun photographer than Brandon. Our pre-wedding photos turned out beautifully, and for someone who is awkward in front of the camera, I felt super comfortable and at peace because I knew the final product would turn out amazing!!! 10/10, would recommend. read more

Working with Brandon was such a pleasure - Incredibly responsive, professional, kind, organized, clearly very talented. On the day of our family photos, he managed the chaos of four generations (including 5 kids under 10yo) with aplomb. Our pictures are turned out exactly as we hoped, and he captured so many beautiful, candid moments. Would highly recommend to anyone in the San Diego area for family photos! read more

Brandon took our family photos in La Jolla and he did an amazing job! He was on time, professional, took his time, and was so good with the kids!

I would highly recommend him for those looking for a great photographer in the San Diego area. read more

First off... Brandon is SO FRIENDLY! From the start, his responses to my messages were so warming and I felt comfortable talking to him about my wedding plans instantly. He kindly gave me input about location/time of our elopement. I have a 3yo son and he was SOO patient with him, even when all my son wanted to do was take over Brandon's camera and shoot the ceremony himself. He captured the best photographs that I can't stop swooning over. I have received several comments on my wedding photos that Brandon shot of me, my husband, and our 4 kids. Although we only had him for 2 hours, he had the photos edited and sent to me within 4 days. Talk about service. Thanks for everything, Brandon! read more

4.999 stars. Wow. We are sooo happy with our photos from Brandon. My partner and I have never done holiday photos (or any other professional photos) together (shame on us for waiting over 4 years to do something like this!) and we are so impressed with how the images and photos turned out. I found Brandon on Yelp -- I was looking for a photographer with good instincts and appreciation of natural light without weird filters and came across his work on Yelp and his website and really liked what I saw. I liked that he had a flat fee for the amount of time allotted for the session--you get unlimited photos from Brandon for his fee. We were able to complete a 2 hour photo shoot in 1 hour and 15 minutes. Brandon is affable (lovable even!) and so easy to work with. He seems really at ease working with a gay couple and made sure our photos were beautiful and intimate and pushed us outside of our comfort zones but in a good way. He never once seemed rattled or unsure about how to photograph two guys together and had endless ideas for beautiful shots. We brought our little puppy along for family photos and he accommodated her with ease, knowing the right way to get our dog's attention to capture the perfect photo. The photos turned beautiful, breathtaking, and almost surreal. San Diego is so beautiful and he was able to capture the natural scenic beauty with us in it. He delivers the photos to you digitally via Dropbox approximately one week after the photo shoot. He was so good about checking in during the session to make sure we were comfortable and happy and he called and texted multiple times to make sure that we received the photos and that we were happy with them. We are really, really glad to have found Brandon and have nothing bad to say -- all praise. read more

Brandon and his team are the most talented, professional, efficient, and fun group of artists you could have the privilege to shoot your wedding (or other event). The quality of his work speaks for itself and is incredibly beautiful and artistic...but beyond that, his ability to direct his team, wrangle all the cats and get them to cooperate without coming off as pushy was amazing. A challenging task and he did so with a smile and great efficiency. I would recommend BCP to shoot ANY and ALL events. Thank you SO much for all of your dedication and hard work! You made our wedding so incredibly special by capturing the essence and joy of our community of family and friends. Truly priceless work. read more
