About Carianne
My Personality
My Philosophy
Being a Stargazer Couple isn’t about a typical vendor transaction. It’s about connection. Trust. A feeling of “She really sees me.”
- Here’s what that looks like when we work together:
- I take the time to truly listen to your story and what matters most to you
- I bring intentionality to every photo and every interaction
- I look for ways to make you feel seen, celebrated, and supported
- I build lasting relationships that often continue well beyond the wedding
- I sprinkle in surprise touches and moments of magic...just because I can
Wedding Photographer | Hype Girl | Heart-First Human
If you asked my best friends to describe me, they’d say I’m a mix between Tigger and the Energizer Bunny, a ball of joyful energy who can’t sit still for long. And honestly? That’s exactly what makes me the ultimate hype girl on your wedding day.
After years in education, I’ve mastered the art of adapting to anything (and anyone), organizing like a pro, and yes, I’ve still got my teacher voice that works wonders when wrangling large groups during family portraits.
But more than anything, I lead with heart.
Enneagram 7
Relationships First...Always

What It’s Like to Work With Me
Imagine showing up to your wedding day already feeling calm and confident because you know someone you trust has your back. You’ll find me fluffing your dress, handing out tissues, calming your nerves, and hyping you up with just the right energy.
And when it’s all over? You won’t just have timeless, true-to-life images. You’ll have gained a friend who’s been cheering you on since day one.

About Carianne
Assistant Photographer
I'm your problem solver, hype girl, boutonniere pinner, and bonus bridesmaid. My clients love my honesty and transparency. One thing they always say is that I made them feel comfortable and at ease. I spend my days editing your photos with a glass of wine in hand and my dog at my feet.
Patrick was my husband's videography student several years ago. He was originally hired as our videographer but, as time went on, he started taking more interest in photography and decided he liked that more. He has been my only associate photographer for a few years now and it's been the best decision we both made!
