Michael + Melanie’s
Wedding Photo+Video Proposal

May 5th, 2025 | Temecula, CA | Sunset: 7:35pm

“I don't know where to start, let's go with BOOK HER, NOW. STOP READING AND BOOK HER! Carsten is an amazing photographer who knows what the heck she is doing. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple (we did our engagement photos and wedding photos with her) and makes sure you are comfortable and just captures every beautiful moment.”

— Tatiana W.

Hi Michael + Melanie! Based on our conversation, it sounds like you’re looking for a photographer who:

• can preserve the memories and moments as they unfold so you and your loved ones can look back and cherish the images for decades to come.

• has an eye for creating those Insta-worthy images that you can imagine yourself in!

• has videographers on her team so you don’t have to go researching yet another vendor.

• understands that images of your friends and family having fun together is of great importance. This might be the only time this particular assortment of people is all together at one place!

• provides a great value.

I’m confident my team and I can bring your vision to life!

“She was the only photographer that took notes during our meeting...If you are looking for someone who will listen to your needs/wants...she is the one to go to! If I could get married again, she would be the one I choose.”

— Naomi O.

“She goes above and beyond in terms of her editing, making random runs on the wedding day if you forgot something, keeping everyone in the party calm during the getting ready hectic moments, taking charge when family started to butt in, and making you feel so special on your day. 10/10 would book her again.”

— Amy L.

Next Steps

  • Ask me anything

    Sometimes couples want some clarification about something in their proposal. I’d love to jump on another call to answer any questions that might come up.

  • Collaborate

    You want a personalized photo experience that feels like you. We can reconfigure it until it’s perfect.

  • Reserve your date

    If you saw a collection that does feel perfect, let’s get May 5th booked! Your retainer would only be $1000 with the remaining balance due 30 days before your wedding.

“Hundreds of beautiful pictures and not a single bad picture. What more could I ask for?! Do yourself a favor and hire Carsten. She is absolutely worth it!”

— Michelle M.

“The value, professionalism, and quality we got from Carsten were all top level, we can't recommend her enough for your wedding!”
