If you want the most beautiful, light and airy pictures of your special day, captured by someone incredibly lovely and talented, Carrie is the one for you! Carrie and her easygoing personality made us feel relaxed right away, and like we could be our goofy selves :) I cannot understate how this alone took out a lot of stress from an already stressful wedding process. In our wedding and engagement shoot consultations, she discussed important details, from the time of day we shot, the lighting, the colors/patterns of our clothing, and all the things that come together to make her beautiful photos. She also advised on our wedding day timeline to ensure she had the right amount of time to shoot everything. As a bride, I felt TOTALLY comfortable with her guidance, and knew she would capture parts of the wedding I wouldn't be able to see. She didn't miss a single planned portrait and got some fantastic candids to boot. What I think makes Carrie so special is how she so wonderfully navigates all the weird social interactions that are involved in weddings (lol). She worked seamlessly with everyone in our wedding party, remembered tricky family dynamics, and had camera-shy folks looking their best in her shots. To top it all off, she delivered our photos a month ahead of time. From beginning to end, Carrie was professional and truly just a delight! We cannot thank her enough for giving us beautiful memories for a lifetime. :) read more

My husband and I got married on Friday, 5/19/2023, at the gorgeous Rancho Las Lomas in Silverado, CA. Carrie was an absolute joy to work with, but her services went beyond just our wedding day, she was an essential part of our wedding planning journey and made the entire process an absolute dream. My husband and I knew from the very beginning that we wanted a photographer who would capture our vision, the little details, in the most timeless and romantic way. And Carrie did just that! Our images are absolutely beautiful! Carrie went above and beyond with her attention to detail, quick responsiveness to emails and texts, and willingness to help. She is such a talented individual with the most fun personality. Super appreciative of her work! read more

Carrie is so incredibly talented! She nailed my fine art vision and I will be using her for all of my events in the future. Thank you.. Thank you for making my vision come true. read more

Carrie was referred to me by a friend and I could not be happier that we ended up hiring her for our wedding (9/8/18)!! Both Carrie and John were such a pleasure to work with, and we cannot emphasize that enough! My husband and I are both introverts and honestly, were somewhat reluctant to get through our wedding day knowing that all of the attention would be on us all day long. Having Carrie and John with us definitely put us at ease, making us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Carrie checked in on me throughout the day, asking if I needed water or if I needed to sit down for a bit. Carrie and John were also just so much fun to work with! It is clear that they are enthusiastic, passionate, and good at what they do. We had a large bridal party and a ton of family members that we needed to get photos with, and Carrie and John helped us squeeze them all in. All of our friends and family loved them too! Carrie and John just made the day so much more enjoyable for everyone. As for the photos themselves, they are absolutely stunning and complete perfection!! The lighting, colors, and angles in these photos are so beautiful, and the expressions and emotions of the day were captured perfectly. These photos will allow us to cherish those moments forever, and we cannot be more grateful. read more

I can't say enough about working with Carrie and John! They did our wedding photos and video and it was downright the best decision we ever made to hire them! They make such a great team! My husband and I are a bit camera shy but they totally made us comfortable and our photos turned out looking natural and the lighting was insanely gorgeous! I love love love the way Carrie edits her photos! She's worth every penny. If you don't book her, you'll regret it! read more

Carrie's super fun and positive energy made posing for a lot of photos easier and fun. She was so good and patient directing us during our engagement shoot that when the wedding came, we knew what she wanted. If there's something that you are unconsciously doing (like force smiling, standing stiffly, or cringing your hands... lol), she will tell you nicely how to undo it. She was such a pleasure to work with (on and off camera). Carrie came out all the way from Temecula to Corona Del Mar to take our engagement photos and shot our wedding at Forever and Always Farm. We chose her because of her light and airy style and because of her super friendly voice. She is a lot of fun to talk to over the phone and in person. You will not regret hiring Carrie and John for your photos. It's super important to have good communication with your photographer and Carrie is someone you can definitely talk to about anything. read more

Carrie photographed my mother in law's wedding in Carlsbad this weekend and she did an amazing job! The pictures turned out absolutely beautiful. She got the pictures back to the bride with lighting speed. And Carrie and her assistant were very pleasant people to spend time with; they are exactly the kind of people you want around on your wedding day. They were also good with the kids and captured the sweet moments. Lovely experience all around! Definitely recommend. read more

I LOVE Carrie and Light Shutter Love photography! Carrie has an amazing photographic eye. She has captured many precious moments in my life and for that I will always be grateful. Carrie has the ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, even if you are in an unusual position. Her attention to detail and soft spoken voice make her a pleasure to work with. I wouldn't choose any other photographer! Highly recommed Carrie! read more

I cannot recommend Carrie enough. She came highly recommended through our venue, Forever and Always Farm, and I am so glad I listened. From our first phone call through receiving our full gallery, I was happy every step of the way. Carrie was helpful through all the small details that I didn't know what to do (her husband even helped us decide on the men's suits!) and was a gracious person beyond being an amazing photographer. When I looked at the photos, it was like I was reliving the day all over again, and they were all beautiful. I have heard again and again showing the photos to everyone, that she did a great job! Seriously, Carrie and her team are amazing! read more

We first met Carrie and John at a friend's wedding last fall. Jim was immediately impressed with their shooting style, and the light and airy feel of the pre-ceremony photos that were already on display at the reception. When we announced our engagement, we knew that Carrie was the photographer of choice to shoot our wedding. The experience was one I/we will never forget. We spent some time taking pictures before the "first look" and both John and Carrie made me feel so beautiful and relaxed as a bride. When Jim arrived, they knew exactly which shots would capture the anticipation and excitement of the moment. The ceremony and flow of the evening went very smoothly. They are so professional and each and every step along the way was amazing. Their excitement and joy was contagious! John and Carrie were able to get several beautiful photos around Magee Park, where the ceremony took place, and then on the beach in Carlsbad, just down from the park. The contrast between the park and the beach is something that we love about our pictures. We had a private wedding ceremony with just family which meant she was able to get pictures of not just us, but each family as well. They were both very patient as we have young grandchildren and you never know exactly when they'll look at the camera. The most used word we have heard from our friends and families is "WOW" and also "Your pictures are stunning and so natural looking!" They truly are and we are so very grateful that Carrie and John captured those special moments for us. We will enjoy our photos for years to come. We highly recommend Carrie McGuire Photography for your special day. read more

Love Carrie Lynn Photography! Fabulous outdoor photo shoot with the whole family. We ALL had a great time, my husband even smiled and she was able to capture my children's true personality in natural light. Thank you, we love the photos and can't wait to do it again this Fall. read more

Carrie took my senior pictures. They turned out better than I could have imagined. I think I'm fairly awkward in front of a camera and definitely not photogenic. She was so easy to work with and truly put my mind to ease! She has an amazing eye and I am so pleased with my pictures. She was so gracious and had a sweet personality, as well as being an amazing photographer that I would absolutely use again. Thank you! read more

Choosing Carrie and John as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. We got married at Forever and Always Farm on October 19, 2018 and Carrie was one of the suggested photographers. I instantly fell in love with the light, airy look of her work. I still got quotes from about 5 different photographers, but in the end, I knew the look of Carrie's work was what I wanted for our wedding. It was a smooth process from the beginning, and I actually had more pre-wedding interaction and information with Carrie than any of the other vendors, which was comforting. The day of the wedding, Carrie and John were total pros and made my husband, wedding party, and especially myself feel totally relaxed. I love that they were willing to try new things, and had shot at the venue before, so knew exactly where to get the best pictures. The pictures came out beautifully, and I'm so proud to show them off. The entire experience flowed so smoothly and her website, blog, and Facebook page were a wealth of help and information. I would absolutely recommend Carrie for any future bride, or for any sort of photography services. read more

Carrie is a very fun photographer with a great eye for the perfect picture! She is good at taking ideas I have and making them come to life! If you want beautifully done photos, at wonderfully competitive prices, and a really fun photo shoot then Carrie is your girl! You won't be dissatisfied with her work! read more

First of all, Carrie has a soothing, melodic voice that inevitably puts you at ease. She's smart, and funny, and ridiculously talented. She can make a simple field of flowers a perfect and beautiful backdrop. When I chose her to take the photos for my business page I was impressed that she works solely with natural light, which is so much more flattering to me. Her focus is impeccable and her attention to detail is insane. She has a wonderful attitude and is willing to work with you until she gets the perfect shot. I would recommended her to any of my clients. She's a photographer with a heart of gold and skill to match. read more

I absolutely love love LOVE Carrie's work! Her eye for the things I could never imagine on my own and her enthusiasm behind each and every shot make for an amazing experience from start to finish! My first photoshoot with Carrie has left me with lasting images that I love STILL, 2 years later. I felt more beautiful then I have ever felt before and still do when I look at my photos again. You cannot ask for a more relaxing, calming yet fun and unforgettable experience with Carrie! She puts her heart into every single photo for you, and it shows! Her dedication to her craft is visible in her works read more

Carrie and John are an absolutely amazing team together. We met Carrie and John a year before our wedding at a winery to go over what they offered and their pricing. They were both very professional and organized. They brought their laptop with them and were able to show my husband and I examples of what they were talking about and of their amazing work. We booked Carrie and John right away before we left them that day we were so impressed! Carrie and John also did our engagement photographs I was unsure where exactly I wanted to have the photographs taken. Carrie spent alot of time helping me decide on the right place. I highly recommend doing your engagement photographs with Carrie. When it came to our wedding day my husband and I were alot more relax taking photographs because we had already done them before we felt like we knew exactly what to do and were able to go through the pictures faster which allowed us more photographs on our wedding day. Carrie made sure to contact me throughout the year before the wedding checking on me and sending me helpful information. Carrie and John showed up several hours early on the day of the wedding. They capture all the small details which was amazing because being the bride I was so busy I didnt get to focus on alot of things being rushed around. It was amazing to look at the photographs later and really be able to see how beautiful everything was. Carrie and John are great and extremely fun to work with you wont regret it!! read more

Carrie is a pleasure to work with, she is very responsive on our questions regarding the micro wedding package her team offered. We were in love on the idea of LUXURY INTIMATE ELOPEMENTS. It is very practical and we loved it because we didn't have to compromise us having our dream wedding. From the littlest details up until the day of coordination it was such a relief for us brides that planned wedding twice or more due to COVID. Her photography style is to perfection! I like the fact she gave us a mini gallery (sneak peek) of the highlights during our wedding in a day! I highly recommend getting this service as they really care about the couples and they truly empathize with you throughout the process. They value your opinion and they incorporate magical ideas based on what your vision is. Ingenuity, professionalism and work quality are what you are going to get with Carrie's group. They will not disappoint you! :) read more

I found Carrie through an internet search, looking for someone to do my sons headshots without having to drive to LA as I was on a tight schedule. Not only did she fit me in but she had my picture back and ready the same day! But that's not all......I had misunderstood the person who needed the headshot and with only a 12 hour notice Carrie did another session, edited and perfected what I had messed up, and even left off the second days sitting fee! All of this on the day she was doing her taxes! She was a total lifesaver, and created the best photos I have ever seen of my son! I will use her again and recommend her highly! THANK YOU CARRIE! read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Carrie and her beautiful work!!! She shot our engagement pictures last November and our wedding day on 04/26/14. My husband has a great eye for photography and loved Carrie's work from the start. We met her for the first time and fell in love with her. She has a great personality and is really passionate about her job. I'm not much of a photography buff so I just let them do their thing, but I definitely left the meeting in awe of her kindness and humor. Our engagement shoot was really fun. She spent a lot of hours with us making sure she got exactly what she envisioned. She wouldn't stop until she was satisfied with the shots. A true perfectionist. Our wedding day was even better! We took the getting ready shots and bridal party pictures at Lowes Coronado. Her and her second shooter (Sue) made my whole wedding party feel at ease and took amazing pictures. We all had so much fun there! Then off to the wedding ceremony and reception itself. Carrie was amazing in having to deal with our families wanting to take so many pictures with us after the ceremony. The family pictures ate up most of the hour we allocated for pictures, but Carrie was adamant on getting some couple shots at the venue. So glad that she did because those pictures turned out amazing! I can't say enough great things about Carrie. My husband and I will absolutely recommend her to anyone, any day! read more

Carrie made an otherwise tense event very enjoyable for me. I was very satisfied with her work and I plan to recommend her to all my friends. I loved how she innovates natural light to her art. It makes all the difference. read more

I love our session with Carrie!! She is a very talented photographer! She made us feel very comfortable and was very easy to communicate with from the start. She took some photos that I specifically requested plus even better ones and gave us the final product faster than I expected. You can also tell she cares about the quality of her work as she made sure we had many different shots done. I especially love that she was able to capture such beautiful photos of my children (2 year old girl and 7 year old autistic boy). I wouldn't pick any other photographer to take my family pictures again. They all came out beautiful! I highly recommend Light Shutter Love photography!! read more
