About Carianne
My Personality
My Philosophy
Being a Stargazer couple isn’t about a typical vendor transaction. It’s about connection. Trust. And the comfort of knowing you’re truly seen, not just photographed.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
- I take the time to listen to your story and understand what matters most to you
- I approach every interaction and every image with intention and care
- I look for ways to help you feel calm, supported, and celebrated throughout the process
- I build relationships that often continue well beyond the wedding day
- And when the moment allows, I add thoughtful, unexpected touches simply because I love creating meaningful experiences
At the heart of it all, my goal is simple: for you to feel confident, cared for, and fully present so you can focus on what matters most, while I take care of the rest.
Wedding Photographer | Hype Girl | Heart-First Human
If you asked my closest friends to describe me, they’d tell you I am a ball of joyful, contagious energy while providing a calm, steady presence when it matters most. I know how to lift the mood, ease nerves, and remind you to breathe, which is exactly what makes me your built-in hype girl on a wedding day.
After years in education, I’ve mastered the art of adapting quickly, staying organized under pressure, and guiding groups with confidence. Yes, that teacher voice still comes in handy, especially when it’s time to gently wrangle family members and keep things moving smoothly.
But more than anything, I lead with heart. I show up with intention, care, and a deep respect for the moments you’re trusting me to hold.

Relationships First. Always.

What It’s Like to Work With Me
Imagine arriving on your wedding day already feeling calm and confident because you know someone you trust is fully prepared and paying attention to the details that matter. I’m there to fluff your dress, hand you tissues, keep things running smoothly, and bring just the right amount of energy to help you stay present and enjoy the moment.
I balance warmth with intention, reading the room, anticipating what you need, and stepping in quietly when support is helpful, or fading into the background when it’s time to let moments unfold naturally.
When the day is over, you won’t just have timeless, true-to-life images that reflect how it felt to be there. You’ll have the reassurance of knowing your story was handled with care, respect, and a genuine investment in you, not just your wedding day.
