Carrie McCluskey Photography

oot. We wanted to take pictures at our local CrossFit gym in Carlsbad, as well as pictures down in La Jolla. She was so great at accommodating our request and was happy to take pictures in both locations. We brought our dog down to La Jolla and he ended up running away. She was so laid back as my husband and I ran after him. For the wedding day, she captured all the amazing and important photos we needed. While I wish I would have gotten more photos with the whole wedding party (we didn't do a first look so all those photos had to be done during the cocktail hour) she took so many photos of us, which really is the most important part. She was familiar with our venue and was able to take us to hidden, beautiful, intimate locations for our photos. She and her second shooter were great at taking photos during our reception, following us to each table to make sure we got at least one photo with each guest. Hire Carrie! You will not regret it!

ing photos left me speechless, they are so unbelievably stunning! I will cherish them forever. I highly, highly recommend Carrie for any brides photography needs! You will love her too! Thank you so much again for capturing our wedding day so perfectly Carrie, you’re the best!!! ❤️

receiving our engagement photos I knew we could not have this other photographer shoot my wedding. So 5 months before my wedding I canceled with him and hired Carrie. I was so grateful she was still available. When she photographed my wedding had two assistants, Katherine being one of them, to help get every angle. She's flexible, accommodating, & super sweet. Carrie was a pleasure to work with and very responsive, and her photos of my wedding were amazing! She's great with both posed and candid shots. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

he is very reasonably priced especially considering all that she offers and her quality of work. We received beautiful engagement and wedding pictures from her in a super timely fashion especially compared to other photographers who can take months and months to deliver. I couldn't have asked for more on our wedding day! If you go with Carrie, you will be easily attracted to her easy going personality. I can't recommend her enough for your wedding day!

short she did an absolutely amazing job. She had one assistant photographer, Catherine, who was there to help provide additional coverage for the groomsmen along with multiple angles of the same shots. To start both Carrie and Catherine are extremely pleasant and professional. They make it very easy and stress free to smoothly flow through the gauntlet of events during your wedding. Second not only were the shots they captured beautiful, but they provide a complete timeline and story of our wedding day from start to end. Lastly, you don't even realize they are there. There were so many times my wife and I were just amazed by the shots they captured because they were so up close and personal yet we honestly had no idea they were even being taken. We both would highly recommend Carrie on all levels for any type of event you would like professional pictures taken. I know if we need to have professional photos done down the road we are absolutely going to use her.

rst meeting she was friendly, enthusiastic, and very creative. She did great work and I highly recommend her!

ur lives. She made sure that we had all of the pictures that we wanted, and was so good that we got to enjoy some of our cocktail hour! The biggest surprise for us was when we received our pictures. We obviously knew which ones would be of us, but we were blown away when we saw how many amazing photos were taken of our guests, the ceremony and the scenery of the day. Thank you Carrie for capturing every special moment of our wedding day!

skills that she recommended her to me years later! After meeting with a few other photographers we chose Carrie because of her years of experience, beautiful portfolio of photos, the recommendation from my Step Mom and her incredible value. Her prices were affordable and reasonable and she has a lot of ways to customize the services to meet your needs. We hired her for 9 hours (2nd shooter always included) and gave ourselves plenty of time to take quality shots before our wedding (we did a first look) and we ended up with hundreds of gorgeous, amazing photos. We can't even decide which ones we love most because there are so many. I also made a Pt board of photography inspiration for Carrie to look at prior to the wedding and she studied it and got all the shots I wanted for our big day. I would highly recommend Carrie!

he ceremony and reception but she captured the most amazing pictures and all of the special moments. We just received our pictures back and were completely blown away, not only by the quality but the quantity of pictures we received. I wanted our pictures to be natural and not too "Photoshop" looking and they turned out even better than expected. And we received all of our pictures back in less than a month! Our pictures turned out beautiful! We absolutely could not be happier with our choice and are so thankful for Carrie capturing our special day.

o the engagement session and to no surprise, after their positive experience, she was hired for their wedding. She really worked with us to follow our timeline and was flexible, making sure she got all the right shots! Having already seen the photos come back (yes, it was FAST!), I have to say she captured the day perfectly and that she did her job just right- making you relive the happiest day of your life! I was very pleased with her work, as were my clients, and I would be happy to work with her again!

ers and just didn't connect or think that we were a good match. I forget how I heard about Carrie but the moment my husband and I met her we knew we wanted to book her on the spot...and we did! I gave her some inspiration shots prior to the wedding and she got all of them. She was on time the day of our wedding and we took beautiful pictures at the getting ready hotel, then to the beach, then to the church and finally the reception. Our images were stunning and I will cherish them forever. The album is amazing and perfect and I love looking through all of the 4 x 6's to re-live the fun day! Carrie met all of our expectations for an ideal wedding photographer and I whole heartedly recommend her!

erything from start to finish. We love the prints and also getting the disk of images right away. I was able to make gifts for my parents.

glad we went with her (based on recommendations from 3 other brides). If you want the best photos for your wedding you HAVE to book Carrie!!

red the feelings and personalities found at our wedding. Our pictures are so full of life that every time we look at them, it is like we are reliving our wedding day. To me, that is the greatness of photography, and Carrie is a wonderful photographer! Also, our wedding took place in a church with strict photography rules. After explaining this to Carrie, I was confident that Carrie would respect our Pastor while doing a great job capturing the ceremony. And she did! I am a very picky person when it comes to photography, and I can honestly tell you that I am 100% pleased with Carrie's work, creativity, and professionalism. She is a fabulous photographer!

rpassed all of my expectations. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

ngagement session and seeing the tremendous results we had all the confidence in the world that she would produce magnificent photos on our wedding day. She and her partner worked quietly and efficiently and they blended right into our wedding day effortlessly. Our package included print outs of all our photos, which is really nice to have and helpful when trying to choose photos for the album. She isn't always very prompt on returning emails/phone calls, but overall she does exceptional work.

or our album! We had over 500 pictures to choose from. Her album options are endless, she will basically do whatever you want! Carrie and her assistant have a great personality and you hardly notice their presence at your reception.
