Carmel Photographer

As a Carmel photographer, I love that I got to capture Carsten and Kirsten’s engagement photos before their wedding. Doing an engagement shoot before the wedding day helps me get to know the couple better and I have a blast! Shortly after the ceremony where the two exchanged vows, it was reception time! One of my favorite things is to see all the family and friends have a good time as they celebrate the day of new beginnings. All the details from the dinner menus to the cute little honey jars were precious and thoughtful. The evening finished with a lively time on the dance floor. It was an honor to be a part of this beautiful day with Carsten and Kirsten!

What do you love most about your partner? 

“I love that Carsten always makes me laugh and smile, and I admire his work ethic, intelligence, and passion for what he does. Something I also love is how he’s really active and pushes me to go outside of my comfort zone. I adore that he gets along well with my family.” -Kirsten

“I love how Kirsten interacts with others and I love her intelligence, both EQ and IQ. She’s constantly growing and encouraging me to grow as well. We can always be fun with one another, even in serious settings.” -Carsten

All about the proposal!

Carsten proposed in March on a 50 mile bike ride, right outside of the Taco Bell on the beach in Pacifica. The proposal was really quick and not at all a surprise since Carsten told Kirsten all the details of his plan well in advance. Carsten can’t keep a secret. Kirsten’s dad insisted that they had to be engaged before they moved in together. The proposal happened the weekend before they moved to their apartment in San Francisco.

Tell us about the ring!

I have a round lab created diamond. The band has two thin sections of little diamonds that come together with slightly larger diamonds on each side of the main diamond. The metal has delicate swirls around the main diamond. It’s called the “Aphrodite” ring.
