Honoring your marriage and the people who surround it
Fresno Wedding PhotographeR
~Your wedding is more than a celebration. It's the beginning of your marriage surrounded by the people who love you, encourage you, pray for you, and walk beside. While you're living one of the biggest days of your life, I'll quietly preserve each moment to remind you who was with you when it all began.
XOXO,
Carianne
Dear Bride,
Right now, you're making a thousand decisions. The venue. The flowers. The timeline. The guest list. The music. The menu. It can feel like every little detail carries so much weight. And in many ways, they do. Because every decision you're making is really an act of caring for the people who are showing up to celebrate you.
You're creating a day where your grandparents feel honored. Your friends feel welcomed. Your family feels included. A place where two families become one and everyone who helped shape your story gets to witness the beginning of your next chapter.
It's easy to get caught up in making everything beautiful. But what you're really planning is a space for the people who matter most to gather around your marriage. Years from now, you probably won't remember the color of the napkins or whether every flower was exactly where it was supposed to be, but you'll remember the people.
The tears.
The hugs.
The quiet conversations.
Your people.
Some of those moments you'll experience first hand, while others you never will, because you can't be everywhere.
But I can.
While you're soaking in one of the most meaningful days of your life. I'm paying attention to the people and the moments that make this day meaningful.
Those are the photographs that grow more valuable with time. Not because they're perfect. Because they're real. Because they remind you not only how your wedding looked but how deeply you were loved.
So go ahead...
Laugh loud. Dance hard. Hug tight. Cry freely.
Be present in the moment.
I’ve got the rest.

CLIENT REVIEWS
Words cannot express how absolutely AMAZING our experience was with Carianne! My husband and I are blown away by her talents as she beautifully captured our April 2025 wedding. I first discovered Stargazer Photography at a bridal expo. My fiancé, now husband, and I decided to meet with her over a zoom call. Automatically, we felt so comfortable chatting with her and decided she was the perfect person to capture our big day! We were nervous for our engagement pictures, but within minutes of our time spent together, Carianne’s fun, spunky, down-to-earth personality made us feel so comfortable. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients and pours her heart into her work. For our wedding, Patrick and Carianne were the best duo to capture our magical day. Also, our pictures were ready within two weeks! I will forever recommend and use Stargazer Photography to capture our next chapters in life!

As an introverted bride, I was nervous about how my "awkward around strangers" expression might come across in our engagment and wedding photos. But Carianne instantly put me at ease with her warm, calming presence. She has a natural talent for making people feel comfortable, and it shows in every shot.
Not only did she capture our day beautifully, but she also made the entire experience effortless. Despite two unexpected storms threatening to derail our outdoor plans *yes, twice!*, Carianne handled everything with grace and adaptability; and still delivered absolutely stunning photos.
What truly blew me away was her incredible turnaround time. I received more photos than I’ll ever know what to do with in LESS THAN A WEEK, all while maintaining amazing quality. And the best part? Her pricing is beyond reasonable for the level of talent and service she provides.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, personable, and miraculously fast (without sacrificing a single detail), Carianne is your go-to. I couldn’t recommend her more!

"She made posing so easy and comfortable, even for those of us who are not typically comfortable in front of a camera."
We absolutely LOVED working with Carianne and her team. She went above and beyond starting with the complimentary engagement session in Yosemite. The photos were absolutely stunning and she spent hours driving us around to the perfect spots. For our wedding day she was able to capture all of the locations/poses/people we requested. She made posing so easy and comfortable, even for those of us who are not typically comfortable in front of a camera. My husband and I are so grateful to have beautiful quality photos to cherish forever of our most special moments. I cannot recommend Carianne enough. She is an expert in her craft and puts so many personal touches in the photos. We would absolutely use her again!

I had the BEST experience with Carianne! She makes the experience so much fun, and we get our photos back super fast! I've had friends who've had to wait months for their wedding photos. I got mine within two weeks! She seriously puts her all in to her couples.
If you're on the fence, just take the plunge and BOOK HER!

Probably the most detail oriented photographer I have ever met. She is the perfect combination of energy for brides that need encouragement and security for their big day! She helped my navigate family portraits and was determined to add in some private time for me and my now husband. It was highly appreciated. She even participated in our dancing to get the most amazing candid shots of our family and friends. She is focused on bringing people together which made me feel like I had a solid community in times where I felt like I was losing my mind. Hands down my favorite photographer and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.

We used Stargazer Photography for our engagement photos in Sequoia National Park and wedding in Sanger, CA. Carianne does such a great job making everyone feel comfortable. She is fantastic at giving direction and is quick to figure out a plan. She takes initiative when there are issues with weather or sunlight and ALWAYS figures out how to make things work. She is also very responsive and has clear, honest, and quick communication. She made me feel so important and secure as a bride. So glad we had her as a part of our special day ❤️

"She is one of a kind, she makes you feel like family"
We cannot say enough good things about this company let alone the people behind it. They made our wedding day so special with all their creativity. I am still an awe of all our beautiful photos. Carianne and her team work magic and I cannot recommend them enough. She is one of a kind, she makes you feel like family. We added a few of our fav photos!
Where do I start?! My husband and I met Carianne with Stargazer Photography at a wedding expo. When we approached her table, she had a warm and inviting personality. After talking to her for a little while, and realized the similarities we had we knew she would be the best fit to document our wedding. Our included engagement shoot in Morro Bay was so much fun. The pictures were absolutely amazing. Planning a wedding is stressful. Carianne invests her time in creating a support group with her current brides to help each other communicate and share vendor info, inspo and questions we may have. She was always available when I would reach out to her. During our process of planning, she hosted different included events like a Spa Day with charcuterie board and mimosas. She also took all the husbands and brides for drinks at a local fun bar. She is fun, energetic and loves her job. I also ended up hiring her film team which did an amazing job. If you are looking for a fun, energetic photographer who will be helpful and available when ever you need her hire Carianne!!! Pictures of our engagement/wedding are on her website under CJ and Bee. GO LOOK AT HER AMAZING WORK!
