Springtime in Oceanside, CA

Spring is in full effect here in Oceanside, CA! The air is full of the smell of orange blossoms and fresh grass. We love this time of year! We carry our cameras in hope of capturing the beauty of nature coming to life after a winter slumber. We found this beautiful swallowtail butterfly perched on our orange tree proudly displaying its gorgeous spotted wings.

The Amazing Work of Cyndy Brown-Carlson

There is no surprise that we really enjoy shooting the work of artist Cyndy Brown-Carlson. When we arrive at the shoot we can’t wait to see what she has created. Her pieces will excite any imagination! Our favorites include a peacock that is too good for any foot, a shoe that doubles as a tea kettle, and four friends headed for the Emerald City.

We were ecstatic to find out that we have received the Bride’s Choice Award from WeddingWire.com. We pride ourselves on giving the best to our couples. We are honored to receive this particular award because the only way to receive it is from our brides, and that’s the best kind of award!

Thank you!

A Special Announcement

Katie and Zack of Clickery Photography are engaged!

After shooting the wedding of Jill and Chris, Zack and I returned to our hotel room. Typically after every wedding, we enjoy going through the fun events of the day by reviewing our images. Since we traveled to Idaho from Oceanside the day before and then spent the entire day with the bride and groom, we were both pretty tired. I wanted to just go to sleep but Zack insisted that we look through the images. After a few minutes of begging, I finally gave in. We looked through most of the photographs before I came across a photo with Zack holding a card with my name on it. Confused, I asked Zack what it was. He replied, “Keep looking”. I scrolled forward on the camera and five photographs spelled out, “Katie will you marry me?”. I looked at him and he was holding a ring. I am sure I had the biggest smile on my face and I was waiting for him to put the ring on my finger and I said, “Oh wait! I’m supposed to say yes!”. Even though I have heard the engagement stories from thousands of couples in my career, I forgot to say yes. I guess I thought it was obvious. :)

The Wedding of Chris and Jill

We had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Jill and Chris at a magical castle in Kuna, ID. Their wedding was absolutely lovely. Jill arrived to the isle in a horse drawn carriage.  The forecast called for rain but the rainclouds held off until the reception was well on its way. After a brief downpour, the sky opened up for a romantic sunset.  Congratulations Jill and Chris! We had so much fun!

The Wedding of Kristen and Justin

We had a blast shooting Kristen and Justin’s Wedding! They were the lucky winners of our “Win Your Wedding Photography” Contest. Their wedding was held at the beautiful Rancho Buena Vista Adobe in Vista, CA. It was an absolutely beautiful day in California. We had so many great images from their wedding it was hard to select only a few to showcase here on our blog. :)

Congratulations Kristen and Justin!











Kristen and Justin – Engagement at the Midway

Kristen and Justin are the winners of our “Win Your Wedding Photography” Contest. Their story was the most touching story of all the entries we received. Justin and Kristen met through a mutual friend while Justin was stationed in Japan with the United States Navy. Justin popped the question at sunset on the USS Kitty Hawk during a friends and family day cruise. While Justin was on leave in January 2008, they decided to get married at the courthouse so that they could be together for the rest of Justin’s service time in Japan. Even though they are already legally married, Justin and Kristen are finally getting the wedding of their dreams now that Justin is finally coming home from Japan after 3 years overseas. We are delighted and honored to be a part of Kristen and Justin’s special day.









The Wedding of Dani and James

Dani and James are a sweet couple from Illinois. They chose to have an intimate wedding on the beach in Oceanside, CA. They brought along a few of their closest friends and family members to share their special day with. The day of their wedding was absolutely gorgeous. The ceremony was beautiful and included a moment where everyone almost went swimming due to the rising tide. It made for great laughs and a great memory. Congratulations Dani and James!



The Wedding of Barry and Sharon

Sharon and Barry are a super fun couple from Minnesota. They wanted a sweet and intimate wedding in Las Vegas that included their closest friends and family. They had everything planned out, except photography. They decided to just have their guests be the photographers to stay within their budget. Sharon’s mom had a surprise for the happy couple, she hired us to photograph the wedding! When we arrived, Sharon and Barry were so surprised and excited that we got right into taking pictures. Congratulations Sharon and Barry!

The Wedding of Jose and Carmen

Jose and Carmen were excited to be celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, but their kids had bigger plans. They gave their parents the wedding they never had. Jose and Carmen had eloped in a very intimate ceremony 25 years ago. They started a family and had a very happy life. When it came to deciding how to commemorate their 25 years together, their three kids took control. Yesenia, Mickey, and Veronica planned an entire wedding ceremony complete with gown, tux, wedding cake and 200 of their closest friends and family. Happy Anniversary Jose and Carmen!
