Carrie was so nice & accommodating for our 10/6/18 wedding. We had our "first look" at Andaz downtown San Diego, and our ceremony/reception was at the El Cortez. .. she nailed our vision for both. She even drove us to the venue (which we completely forgot to plan, whoops!). Her prices are affordable and she's obviously very experienced. Thank you! More...

Carrie and Katherine were amazing on my wedding day! I love all the images we got from them. Over 900! Earlier in my planning, I had booked with a different photographer but after 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! More...

Carrie was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer.She was extremely easy to work with and made us feel comfortable from the beginning.
I barely knew she was there during the 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.

Carrie and her assistant captured every moment perfectly! When I reviewed all the photographs I almost felt like I was able to relive the entire day! ! They did a great job of being there at every moment without being intrusive or obvious. Not only did they capture all the obvious shots, Carrie had great suggestions for some really priceless shots that I had not thought of. In addition, despite all the chaos that inevitably accompanies a wedding, she made an effort to get all the random shots that we specifically requested. I am truly appreciative to have the amazing portfolio that she was able to capture!! More...

Carrie was the perfect choice for our wedding and our pictures turned out beautifully! She was so easy to get along with and made us feel comfortable on the most important day of our 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!

Carrie was great to work with. She was so down to earth and easy to get along with. Our engagement photos turned out amazing, and the sneak-peak of our wedding photos has us very excited. She did a great job at the reception too capturing our guests. We had multiple people tell us how she seemed to be capturing everything without really knowing she was there. Would highly recommend having her take your photos. More...

Carrie was an absolutely amazing photographer for our wedding at the Omni Hotel San Diego. We had a great experience with her from start to finish. Her packages are wonderful and she 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! More...

Words hardly do justice when trying to explain someone's creative gift. That being said I will try my best. My wife Dawne and I hired Carrie to cover our wedding for us. Long story 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. More...

So thankful we found Carrie!! We planned our intimate elopement ceremony from halfway across the country. I did tons of research and sent many emails before finally finding and hiring Carrie and Im so glad we did. She was flexible with us and helped us find the perfect location. I got the photos back very quickly and they are all amazing. She did such a great job capturing the beauty of the moment and the surroundings, which was very important to us. A fantasic photographer at a great rate! So happy! More...

Carrie was an absolutely amazing choice for us for our wedding. My Step Mom is also a wedding photographer and had worked with Carrie once several years ago and was so impressed by her work and 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 Pinterest 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!

Carrie was amazing!!! I was really, really picky when it came to our wedding photographer and wanted to make sure we had the best photographer we could afford.
After researching on tons of blogs and meeting several photographers, we chose Carrie as her work was beautiful and she was super sweet too. Every time I would meet with other vendors they would ask who our photographer was and they would be very impressed with our answer. She has a great reputation in the industry and everyone told us she would do an amazing job, which she DID! We loved our engagement photos and knew our wedding photos would be great, but they were so much better than we could have imagined. Carrie captured everything stunningly and got all the shots I asked for. Her husband Todd as her second photograher and is also an amazing photographer and he did a fantastic job as well. We are so sooo happy with our beautiful pictures and our friends and family are blown away. You get so much for what you pay for as well....we just picked up a box of 700 prints today on top of everything else.
Carrie was also super helpful after the fact (when I have had friends deal with other photographers that will ignore them for ages after their wedding) and very responsive. She was so great and would respond within the hour most all of the time.
If you want 700 pictures you will want to frame, make sure you book Carrie. She is just awesome.

Photographer seemed to be great, getting lots of shots, worked quickly and got a lot of pictures I think for the money we paid. Have not seen pictures yet, so I don't know how they turned out, but am sure they will be beautiful! More...

Carrie is the BEST photographer! She is also truly the best deal in town! All of my friends who got married before me were SHOCKED at all she did for the price. Carrie is so sweet and puts you at ease day of. I felt so comfortable with her and I was sooooo pleased with the outcome. I really feel like she went above and beyond to be flexible with our budget. I absolutely recommend Carrie! More...

Carrie was a 5 star all the way. I hate getting my picture taken and she made me feel very confident and didn't make me pose in any cheesy positions that made me feel unnatural. She was extremely pleasant and stuck to her word by seeming invisible all night at the reception. I highly recommend Carrie and was very satisfied with her work. More...

Carrie was our favorite vendor of the day! Carrie and Todd did our engagement pictures, and we absolutely loved them, and we got a ton of compliments on our sign-in album at the reception.

When I first got engaged I asked 3 unrelated people to for referrals and all 3 came back with the SAME photographer. Not only did she come highly recommended, but her value is excellent! She even worked with me create a customized package for my specific needs. She was very personable as well. More...

I would highly recommend her. More...

Carrie is a wonderful person, so calm and so good at what she does. Her demeanor was one of the most important things for us in a photographer as we wanted to ensure our day was documented in a style we loved and captured the essence of the day, without being bossed around or run off schedule with too many posed pictures. Carrie did have some posed shots but she also has a photojournalistic style that really lends itself to being unique and different. She brought along a great assistant and was so easy to work with. She has a service that puts all the pictures online for viewing and guests can order directly from the website. We were able to customize our package to get everything we wanted. Her prices are in the moderate range, but worth every penny. More...

I just love Carrie McCluskey's work! I had decided that I wanted to hire a superb photographer as these images would be with us for a lifetime and met with probably 7-8 photographers 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!

Our experience with Carrie McCluskey was absolutely incredible. We traveled from Texas to California for our wedding and booked Carrie over the phone after reading some good reviews online. We had no idea what a professional, classy and talented photographer we were hiring. She made everyone feel calm, never rushed anyone and never acted like we were taking too long. She is willing to go the extra mile for her clients - even after the wedding. I would highly, highly recommend Carrie to anyone wanting superior photography for their wedding. More...

Carrie has just returned beautiful family portrait pictures and my husband and I couldn't be happier! Carrie has always been open to our ideas and delivers just what we expected and more.
She puts us at ease and was great with our young sons. I am constantly referring friends and family to her as I think her talent and service are above and beyond.
We first used Carrie for our Vegas wedding way back in 2002. She was more than accommodating when it came to travel and rehearsal dinner/reception photos (the Paris Hotel does not allow other photographers during the ceremony). What I love most about our pictures is her attention to detail and capturing the moment. We have wonderful pictures of our friends and family (some who are no longer with us) absolutely enjoying our day and their time in Vegas.
