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.

We had our engagement photos taken at Caspers Wilderness Park and the beach by The Ocean Institute in Dana Point months before the wedding. She was totally into our vibe we wanted for the pictures and they came out perfect. Carsten sent the link to both me and my husband to check out the edited photos. Turn around time is pretty fast and all done digitally unless you previously request prints through her.

Our wedding was picture perfect thanks in good part to Carsten and her team of assistants for the day. They know how to blend in with the crowd and direct those who need extra guidance with posed pictures. Super professional though! We got our sneak peeks within 24 hours and instantly fell in love with them. Thank you so much for making our memories absolutely magical!

My wife and I hired Carsten for our engagement shoot, and that work was so outstanding we also did for our wedding photography. Please allow me to briefly summarize our experience with her and her team:

This studio is the epitome of professional photography. They provide an effortless experience with clear objectives communicated. The team expertly utilizes lighting, kinesthetics, and every conceivable angle to produce stunning imagery.

Additionally, Carsten deploys with proper resources, knowledge of local geography, personal experience, and diligence on every single job. Carsten is directly involved with these shoots, and brings some outstanding people along with her for the more complex endeavors. The team blends in perfectly as well, you'll hardly know they are present when you're having the greatest time of your life. Yet, the outcome will reveal the great care and duty poured into their work.

The post shoot processing is swift with some teasers provided same day! Perfection takes time, but even then we didn't have to wait long for the most memorable and gorgeous photos I've ever seen. The product is the perfect memorialization of your happiest day(s).

I will conclude by stating you will NOT be disappointed when you hire Carsten Tice. Please involve her in your next big day!

We absolutely loved working with Carsten! She is so professional and talented. Thank you so much for capturing our day so beautifully.
