Excellent experience

I've never been so excited to review somebody in my entire life!!! We were so lucky to have Irina as our photographer. I cannot say enough how important it is that your photographer on your wedding day is just as wonderful as a person as she is a professional at what she does. A good photographer makes you feel comfortable and effortless behind the camera. Posing parents, siblings, wedding parties, flower girls, ring bearers, and the bride and groom coming together perfectly in a crazy short amount of time? You feel like it’s IMPOSSIBLE. It’s not! I’ve heard that weddings are always not on time. The truth is it’s more worth. The rings may be forgotten, the very important guest is being extremely late, and a lot of other reasons. Irina was super patient, she captured each and every photo I wanted without me even having to make sure that she did it. Her creativity, eye for perfection, and professionalism are unbelievable. The wedding day does by so fast, and it's important to have all the moments captured. My now husband and I could not have chosen a better photographer. Everyone at the wedding was talking about how great our photographer was. Irina introduced herself to every guest and family member at the wedding and made sure she got every guests’ picture which we are so grateful! We had so many out of state guests and wanted to remember every moment with them on our best day. If you are looking for pricing that makes sense, photographer who cares about the quality, your happiness on your wedding day, and feeling confident throughout that entire day and every time you look at pictures afterwards, then look no further!

Great Customer Service.

5 stars across the board. I am so happy I chose Carlsbad Photo to capture my wedding day. The photos & video came out perfect!. Irina did a great job by ensuring that all the special moments were captured. Her customer service is top-notch and I highly recommend this service for a day that can be overwhelming. From the moment my husband and I met with Irina prior to our wedding day to go over the timeline, I felt comfortable that she was going to do a great job and she did. Thank you Irina and the Carlsbad Photo team.

Professional, responsive, and easy to work with

We recently had the pleasure of working with Irina and Carlsbad Photo for our wedding photography, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Irina was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. She took the time to understand our vision for the day and helped us create a timeline that would ensure we captured all the important moments.

On the day of the wedding, Irina arrived early and was ready to go. She worked quickly and efficiently to capture all the details, from the getting ready process to the ceremony and reception. She even managed to get some great shots of our first dance and all the dancing that followed, which we absolutely love.

When we received our photos back, we were blown away. They are absolutely stunning and perfectly capture the joy and love of our special day. We especially love the candid shots that capture all the emotions of the day.

We would highly recommend Irina and Carlsbad Photo to anyone looking for a talented and professional wedding photographer. She is truly amazing at what she does, and we are so grateful that she was a part of our special day.

Highly recommend!

Irina from Carlsbad Photo was an exceptional wedding photographer. Despite having to change our plans due to travel restrictions, Irina captured every moment flawlessly. She arrived early, helped organize our dressing room, and was great with our daughters. The photos she took, including our first touch, still bring tears to our eyes. Irina expertly captured all the fun and dances, as well as our crazy families. Highly recommended!

Irina is the best!

Just do it, seriously! Book herrrr. I found Carlsbad Photo online. I threw a small family wedding at a park. She offers perfect package sizes and is very tailoring to your needs. For example our pre event conversation was thorough and helpful. Irina haloed capture our special day perfectly. I looked over the Carlsbad photography Instagram and loved the story she tells through her lens. We chose the smallest package because we had a small short wedding. Irina does it all! I’ve talked to her about weddings that last ALL WEEKEND. She is so cool.

Awesome experience

Irina is an awesome and experienced photographer which is helpful when you have no idea what to expect on your wedding day. She works with you and your coordinator to make sure you get the shots you want. She even recommended some based on previous weddings she did at our venue. The planning process was straightforward and her rates were reasonable. On the day of the wedding she helped us get ready and reassured us that everything would be okay. She never stopped taking pictures and captured some wonderful moments throughout the night. We anxiously awaited our photos and they turned out better than we expected. She did a wonderful job capturing all the important memories. All of the pictures were gorgeous and she really made you feel special. We definitely recommend her to anyone getting married in the Carlsbad area!

Absolutely incredible!!

Irina from Carlsbad Photo was incredible on our big day! Not only that, but the whole process of working with her was just easy, which is so appreciated with all the other stresses involved in wedding planning. She came early, she stayed late, she did gorgeous sunset photos, and then she even brought lights to do night time photos too! She was so fast and efficient it was the best experience I could have asked for. She got really pretty poses and great angles too! I’m so glad I found her!! Thank you Irina!
