What makes us different?

Hi, my name is Bret Applegate.

Hi, I’m Bret Applegate, owner and photographer at Applegate Visual Media.

When you book a listing, you work directly with me—from scheduling and property preparation questions through the shoot and final delivery. You will not be passed among a rotating team of photographers or customer-service representatives.

That consistency means I can learn your preferences, understand how you want your listings presented, and provide a dependable experience from one property to the next.

I approach every home with the same care, professionalism, and attention to detail—whether it is a modest starter home, a rural property, or a luxury listing. Just as importantly, I treat your sellers, their homes, and your reputation with respect.

My goal is simple: make your listing marketing process easier and deliver quality media you can confidently place in front of buyers and sellers.

Aerial photo and video

Professional drone photography and video that reveal the complete story of the property—from the home and lot to acreage, outbuildings, neighborhood features, nearby amenities, and surrounding landscape.

Aerial media is especially valuable for rural homes, larger properties, distinctive lots, waterfront settings, commercial properties, and listings where location is a major selling point.

floor plans

Adding a floor plan gives buyers useful information that photography alone cannot provide and helps your listing feel more complete and professionally prepared.
